The NKw YoRx TuRy-TnE RECENT GRxAr
RAcE.-The excitement caused by the decision Of
the Judges the second heat OF the great race be-
tween Fashion and Blue Dick, which came of
over the Union Course, Long Island, on Thursday
last, has by no means abated, but time and calm
consideration has made the interested, as well as
the dsinterested think worse OF the matter than at
the onset, and the consequence of this considera-
lion has been 10 make men consider the more up
on what grounds such decision could have been
come to, and the result has been that some very
ugly motives on the part of those who presided on
thai occasion, or at least a majority of item,
prompted it-but we do hope that for the credit Of
some Of the parties concerned, whom We believe
t0-he gentlemen In every sense OF the word-tor
the credit OF the character of the New York Jockey
Club-for the credit and welfare of the turf in this
country, that some light will be thrown on this
matter, Tor to allow II to rest as 1t now stands, Is
Impossible, and Iregnant with evils that must
eventually destroy everything respectable that ls
connected with racing and race-horses here--sow
dlssensons between the most respectable portion
OF the community in the North and South--make
the public Disguised not to place the least
tidence in 1t, take that interest IN its welfare
which they have hitherto done, and cause the
more respectable portion OF the supporters OF racing
In this country TO Withdraw from II altogether
Thee are events which every well wisher of the
turf would deplore, and every dsinterested, honest
| and respectable lover OF this truly noble amuse'
ment would ny every means in his power prevent,
even, ii need be, at the expense of some little OF
his own private feeling and judgment.
| There were great number on the grand stand
on this occasion who had as good opportunity
OF noticing and watched the coming III OF the horses
as intently as the judges; gentlemen who may be
found, as we before observed, among the oldesl
and best supporters OF the tur further Interested
IN the matter than desire 10 see fair play. One
hor. uhnoA I'M
and testimony must be host in itself Another
gentleman is also referred to, than whom we be
lieve more honorable man does not exist; then
why are the opinions Of two such men as these set
at Hough by the opinions OF any other TWO! What
their standing IN society ?-whO are they ?-how
far they interested, pecunlary otherwise, IN
the matter !-are questions which have been asked,
and must be answered ere the public will be salts
fed.
BLUE DICK AND FASHION. have been in
formed that the owner of the latter horse has de-
clined to accept the challenge Of the owner of the
former, in consequence Of the decision Of the
Judges on the Union Course last Thursday. He
declared thar he did not intend running the mare
again this season.
CLOSE OF THE OPERA SEAsoN.-Ths takes place
on Monday evening next, on the night Of Sgnor
De Begins benefit, which promises, thus far to be
brilliant finale to the season The whole strength
of the company will be brought out, with some ad
dtional attractions, including, we believe, the ee-
CANT Hungarian artist, NJ. Korponay, in one of his
national dances and national costumes. Awopos,
we perceive that some ignorant critc-probaby
''one OF the waters of Longs Hotel'-talks OF
his costume as being part Italian-part Austrian
part this-part that. No such thing His cos.
tunes are strictly correct-the existing or historical
costumes Of Hungary in the minutest particular.
