can Jockey Club everything that tne most
ardent turtle could desire. The weather was pro-
ptious and the racing interesting. Such kaieido-
scopic view OF human nature as this course pre-
sents at q meeting is difficult to match IN any
part OF this wide Continent. A Dickens would
have been able to collect materials for half
dozen novels yesterday. Whether at the Grand
Stand, with its assemblage OF fair ladies and
whiskered sportsmen-the former clad In the
choicest livery OF Dame Fashion, and many OF the
latter in pepper and salt suits-or at the club
house. where the creme de Ia creme sat on the
green sward or peeped over the railing OF the
piazza, or on the blun behind the grand stand,
where hundreds OF wagons ana carriages were
drawn up In picturesque confusion, or at the quar-
ter stretch. where insane betters elbowed each
other, or out on the track, where knowing ones
exchanged wfnks and mods regarding the cond-
lion Of the steeds about to start or among the
mob or stable boys, where pools OF the enormous
sum or 81 were made up, and where ten cent bets
we're called in shrill tones, at the gate, where

excitement.
Long before the brazen tongue OF clamorous

tolled the hour OF one P. NJ. the road 20 Jerome
Park was dotted with equipages OF every kind.
TWO races were over before the course and IT'S sur
roundings were tled TO REPETITION. Then 1t
later corners could obtain place where
horse might be left in safety or comfort. There
was an unexpected demand Tor whips on the blum
outside the main entrance some or these desirable
articles having been stolen in order TO add 10 the
Scanty earnings OF the hostlers. Pies, which would

and the white bones OF pigs feet glistened IN the
rays OF the sun, and empty soda water bottles
rolled down towards the course.
The Click click, OF the French pools, around
which an ntermnable queue was formed, rose
above the hubub Of voices at end OF the stand,
and the hoarSe voice OF the auctoneer, 'Going FOR

The steeple-chase passed OF. for 4 wonder, with
but the slightest mishap ana, according TO the
unanimous opinion of all present, 1t was voted 4
grand success. The police regulations at MccomD's
Dam bridge might BE- improved, and more regard
