cool October breeze blew over the |
Jerome Park track yesterday as many hundreds
Of sporting men gathered 10 the grand stand
and along the green slopes that edge the
smooth turf. From an early hour the
broad boulevards that reach from the city to
the race track wero lined with buggios, gayly
caparisoned carriages, great coaches and vehi-
cles Of every description. As the carriages roll
ed over tho smooth, macadamized roadbeds,
hindreds OF people gathered along the sides Of
the streets and waved handkerchief and sent
up almost constant cheers. At about half past
o'clock the Astor House coach rolled into the
Jerome Park grounds and was followed by the
splendid drags OF Col Jay, Leonard Jerome and
Wm. Z. Douglas. In each Of these were many
gentlemen and ladies, who after alighting,
srolled over tho green billsides In front
Of the picturesque club house, and then
sat down on the lawn and ate their dinners as
they made bids on their favortes. The drags
were drawn up IN front Of them as they rested.
and the coachmen from time to time brought
forth from the interior Of the carriages baskets
OF food and bottles of wines. On the balcony OF
tho club house many hundred ladies and gentle
men, dressed in bright autumn colors, 1led
every seat. and as they waved their handker-
chiefs and clapped their hands they made a
bright and picturesque scene. Outside the fence
OF the park were several thousand persons who
lined the upifted bluffs and stroleu on the
green hillocks and ate their dinners on the sides
OF Weetohester lodges. On the yeranda OF the
clubhouse everv seat was aed with ladies' and
gentlemen. Among the most prominent gentle
