seemed to be on wheels, yet for exciting interest
and bYllaIcy IN every respect there was nothing
that colld wish for more. The clerk OF the wea-
Their, in the forenoon, gave some signs OF ancient
srite but he sooa changed his mind, and the sun
came OUT IN all his glory and united with the wind
In q laudabie attempt to dry the track, which had
become heavy aud sodden from previous
rain. Tae consequence was that pouiirg beauty
became radiant with smiles, e,egant toilets that
an hour before had been thrown aside were
quickly donned. ami rich equipages rolled through
the Park, route for the Mecca of pleasure seek
crs Jerome Park. There Was every variety or equi-
page, from the imposing four-in-hand drag down 10
the humble "oae horse shay" The drive through
the Park was enjoyable ana intere sting as ever.

winners and consoing the losers during tho inter-
walls between the races Upol the HILL at the
northerly side u the grand stand, were
grouped and hulded vehicles Of all kinds.
White hats and betting boots predominared at the
quarter stretch, ana toilets OF the most bewildering

Club House. IN d Little cosey coraer OF the well

around the course beneath. over five hundred
trus,y sons of Westehester Of the profanua rutgus
order were marsllalled the bluff outside tie
course and seemed to enjoy the scene heartily
their more fortunate nelShoors witnn the charmed
precincts.
At THE CLUB HOUSE
there were hundreds OF the fashionable people OF
the city, reinforced by hundreds more from the
South and our neighbors in New England, Pennsyl-
vana and Jersey. After each race there was a con-
slant stream Of ladies and geLt.e men passing and
repasslng the course between the Club House ana
the grand stand. Among the
