The July race meeting at Monmouth Park,
which began yesterday, promises to surpass III bril-
liauey its i0ngerestablished rivals at jerome Park
aud Saratoga. The attendance in fashion and numbers,
far exceeded anything seen at the last-named
racing resort, and fully equaed the immense gathering
that was witnessed at Jerome Park the last day OF
the recent meeting there The fact that yesterday was
the National holiday may partially account for the
thousands of visitors Monmouth Park but it equally
true that the present cement OF the Long Branch
Racing Association distinguished az IL is by liberality
persistent efforts TO secure the comfort and enjoy
ment the public well the owners and trainers Of
IacchoTses, may justly claim share in securing such
vast amount Of patronage. Every arrangement had
been made for the transit OF visitors from
the city and their return after the days enjoyment;
and the admirable steamers, the Jesse Hoyt and Ply
mouth Rock were crowded at every trip both going aud
returning with pleasure ekers TO Long Branch and the
raeecourse. Special trains were also run to and from
Philadelphia and when the sports of the day commenced
fully 1900 persons assembled on the grounds OF
Monmouth Park The great attraction of the racing was
undoubtedly the Grand National seepe Chase, with its
attendant excitement arising from the danger to the lives
and limbs Of the jockeys and the equine contestants

1t appears that the first iDtimution the
residents of the doomed village Of Pcsh-
tigo received of the calamity that await
ed them was on the evening of Sunday,
after the close Of the services at the
churches, when there WINS suddenly
heard roaring, rushing sound, lilSncd
to the first distant muttcrings of Il
storm, or the hOarse murmur of an angry
SEA. As this strange and terrifying
noise increased, the poor creatures seem
to have been aroused to presentiment
OF coming danger. 1t mny have been
listened to ut first without serious mp.
prchension, us the supposed precursor
of one of those fierce but comparatively
harmless sweepings Of the wind that so
frequently pnss over the broad prairie
lands Of the West. But soon it began
to be realized that deadly heat was in
the LFcHtl Of that horrible tornado, and
the warning reflection Of mighty con.
migration was cast over the scene. We
Mc told TINT electric flames shot through
the air that balls Of fire fell like meteors
in different parts of the village, igniting
Whatever they came in contact with, as
though mysterious and relentless army
had been pouring "shot and shell, II
fire of hell" over the devoted town.
We must leave to science to decide, in
cillmer moments, whether the phenomena
50 wildly described by the excited suf.
fcrcrs had actually any existence, or
whether they We're only blazing particles
from the burning forests and ppiries,
whirled Nlong and famed by the driving
wind. The horror-stricken inhabitants
appear then TO have first awakened to
the knowledge that II destroying fire WINS
rushing towards their homes, borne up
on the wings of the tornado and in.
stantly the peaceful village, Just settling
down TO the repose Of sabbath even
ing, was scene Of terror and confusion
scarcely to he pictured in the imagina-
ton OF those who were not eye.witnesses
of the frightful calamity. Parents clasp
ed their children in their arms and fled
from their houses, knowing not in what
direction to seek for safety. There was
no time to think of more than life, and
Tint, unfortunately, could not in many
hundreds of cases be preserved. We ARE
told that the poor creatures flying in
terror were in may instances Tapped up
by the hungry flames and scorched aud
withered and burned in their trucks.
But the details ARE too horrible for rep
clifton.
