AMERICAS JOCfc'EV CLUB RACES.

Second Day of the SpringMeeting.

A Lovely Day and a LargeAttendance.

? *

Scenes on the Road, in the Stands andon the Course.

IFIVE CAPITAL RACES,

Victoria the Winner of the Ladies' Stakes, Alroythe Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes,

Alarm the Mile and a Quarter, Middaythe Mile and Three-Quarters and

Mcintosh the Steeple Chase.

One of the great feature* of the Jerome Parkracea Is ttic ride thither and back, not on the cars,but behind either a spanking team or a good steady'trotter that can hold his or her own with the caval¬cade that sweeps along the well known rpads. Ofcourse, the ride as far as the Park must be lookedupon as a sort of preliminary purgatory, owing tothe frequent railroad tracks, so obnoxious to aspider-wheeled wagon, the unpleasant dust cart,the loud voiced merchant of a fruit vehicle, the un¬limited objurgations of street car drivers, the tardyold lady who Insists upon making a Juggernaut ofyour turnout, that "Pellon upon Ossa ' arrange¬ment of beer barrels from some brewery or hayfrom some out of town farm, or the Illegal proceed¬ings of some building contractor, who throws pilesof bricks right In your way. But once intothe Park, the scene is delightful. A pavementsmooth as glas*, a whirlwind of wheels, revealingat Intervals glimpses of lovely faces and richtoilets; an occasional remonstrance, In unmistak¬able Hibernian tones, from some gray-coated po¬licemen, to attend to the "seven miles an hour"rule; vistas at every turn of dense glades, silveryponds, far-reaching carpets of green and a bewil¬dering maze of well-gravelled paths, and the soundof merry voices constantly ringing In the ear,make the Park on such an occasion a scene of fairy¬land. Then out on the Boulevard, that magulncentmonument of metropolitan gTcatness, with verdanthills behind you and innumerable vehiclesaround you; a dash through "the lane"and a brush skirting Harlem River andits wooded heights until the wooden structureknown as Macomb's Dam bridge is reached. Herevon take breath and admire the panorama ofbeauty spread out on either side. A dash throughCentral avenue beyond brings you to the Mecca ofAmerican pleasure seekers, the now famed JeromePark. Armed with a club badge, you turn from theavenue and take the sinuous winding road thatleads to the club entrance. A darky rushes up,his inky face glowing with excitement, and yourelinquish your panting team, into his hands.If you are not at least an hour inadvance of the time for the first race,three o'clock P. M., the chances are that the jteam will have to take "pot luck" under the treesbehind the Club House, the stables and sheds beingalready filled. Such Is one of the most pleasantreminiscences or a visit to Jerome Park. Cominghome the scene Is even more Interesting, asthere is an unbroken stream of equipages of allkinds, from the pretentious four-in-hand down tothe ftaglie sulky, which the French, with the in¬imitable wit belonging to that nation, call <teso-bUgmnte. N. B..A man must travel alone In oneof these atTairs. Every oue wants to get home assoon as possible, and certainly sooner than hisneighbor. Therefore there Is many a trial of speedand many a shout of encouragement, Interruptedonly by those visits to the Chappaqua caravanserleaby the wayBide that seem to claim no small shareof attention. On the way home there is invariably ja "queue" to be found on the Westchester side ofMacomb's Dam bridge, which often is ahalf mile in length. Hero some funny scenesoccur. Some ambitious youth, in all thebravery of store clothes, with his girl besidenlm, in a livery stable wagon, wishesto show that independence of spirit so dear tothe heart of every American citizen. He accord¬ingly disdains the "queue" and boldly dashesahead. The result is a rush of hair a dozen franticpolicemen, an Interchange of uncomplimentaryremarks, a great flourish of clubs and a discon¬solate wagon wending its way back to the end orthe long line. IAT THE CLl'B HOV8K |yesterday there were many celebrities of the me¬tropolis congregated. The ladles were particularlycharming In their elegant toilets, ana the gentle¬men were divided In their atteutlon to their raircompanions and their pecuniary interest in theraces. Among those present we observed Mr.Leonard Jerome, Mr. Constable, Judge Munson,Mr. and Mrs. Pettle, Mr. Golet and son,Mr. and Mrs. Duvally, Miss Nelson, orF.ighty-rourth street; Colonel Qulncy, Mrs.Lel°stln, Miss Smith, Miss Klrby, ex-Mayor (iunther,William Schell.

THE TOILETS OF TUB LADIES,were, In manv cases, miracles of tho modiste s art.

We can only select a few of the many that gracedthe Club "House and Orand Stand. Evidentlythoroughly content with herself and her surround-iuirs was a lovelv creature, neither blonde norbrunette, attired In a costume or butternut-coloredfaille, the brilliant hues changing with every move¬ment. The skirt had a deep garniture disposed Intnvuax plaits, wiih a heading ot fluted velvet,forming scallops. The overgarmentl was of a novelriiHtingtiC design, the back half fitting, J"'1plaits let In Just below the waist, like a Mar-gueritte" polonaise, and the fronts perfectly loose.The bottom was finished with a simple hem, ahandsome passementerie ornament was placed atthe top of the plaits in the back, and the front waBtrimmed with fluted velvet In scallops, disposed soas to simulate a Louis XIV. vest, with Immensevelvet pocket, each fastened with three very largesilk buttons. The novelty consisted In the entireabsence of any looping whatever, and the lady lie-ing tall and graceful. tli<* effect was perfect. Thelionnet was of silk tlie color or the dresB, In com-binatlon with black laoe and rose-pink trlmuiiug.An Algerienne wrap completed tqe toilet.

A lovely toilet was or dove-gray poult de sole theskirt a demi-traln, trimmed in the back nearly toihe waist with narrow ruffles edged with rose-nink and a deep-plaited flounce on the rront,headed by a puff edged with rose-eolor. The o\er-skirt consisted of a draped apron, carried verv rurI.ack and completed by two broad sash ends in theback This was trimmed with gray fringe, headed

a pnfT matching that on the skirt. The corsage

and the black lace bonnet was ornamented witii ahalf coronet of full-blown blush rones p acid farforwurd so as to rest against t lie snowy puns,romiMuUAir, with charming effect.

,Over a handsome black silk costume, especiallyobservable for its simplicity, was worn aof military blue cloth, trimmed with broad "an 'isof black velvet, covered with white silk, tite long,wide sleeves worn hanging. !Another .ilolwau." *oru over a brown (.oatuuie.

It 1s, however. on the quarter stretch ami aroundthe stands of the judges and the pool-s ller thatmoat, of the fun and spirit going on the tru< k ma)I* found. Over at Mie Club House there art- comparatively few who attend the meeting for the wakeof the ru 'ing alone. 1'rettjr gloved hands now andthen hold up shining opera glomes and gaze withevanescent intereHt upon the moving steeds; butthe sensation lasts ont.v a minute or two, and ladle*and cavaliers speedily subside Into tiie more aartoi -

business of praising the beauty of the landscape, orpassing Judgment upon the latest fashions, or per¬haps even of indulging in a Utile harmless ttirlation. iiut

on rni: quarter strktciiand in its neighborhood the race, and the racealone, engrosses the interest of the crowd* whothere "moat do congregate." In the centre of theUrand Stand, certainly, there are a couple ol par¬titions which are enlivened tiy the presence andtite dresses 01 the fair sex, l»ut it in the corner tothe right where most people gather together andwhere ail who love sport for the ^akc of sport ataMHud their most congenial sphere ol enjoyment.And there are certainly no ladles there! Kveti astranger naturally Btrolts thitherward a* soon anhe strikes the track, attracted by the din of thepool selling and the thickness of the throng. Norwould it take long for even a green¬horn to find out what kind or acrowd he had struck. It is the strangest humanmedley you could discover even In a ciiv which,like New York, displays so commonly the hronde-tcontrasts in the way of temporary combinations ofsocial atoms. Two or three hundred men, most ofthem well dressed and nearly all with white hatsand light neckties, their faces turned to i iie postand, save when they look down at their race cardsto notice the pedigree or the owner of a horse,stand silently watching the bidding, now and thenperhaps giving a significant nod, and thus stimulat¬ing the poolseller to fresh exertions.

WHO TIIKY AUK.Some of them.most of them, it may be said.a> e

gentlemen, but there is a sprinkling ol gamblersand pugilists and sports, equally well, and perhapseven more pretentiously attired, who lietray theclass to which they belong by that curious air ofreckless awkwardness which we have all observed,though none of us have ever succeeded in exactlydescribing It. As they stand together you can pickout the society sheep from the society goals withunerring accuracy, nor do you need to be told bysome omniscient mentor that yonder man with thebrown mustache anil the yellow kid gloveskeeps a "hell" on Broadway, or that the littlefat man with the dirty nails, who Is so furiously

. chewing tobacco, figured a few mouths ago in aj disreputable piece of jockeying on a certain pro-

: vlnclal track. Little, however, apparently, (iocsthe stout, trimly-dressed little gentleman who is

! selling the pools care about tiie social status of hiscustomers. There he stands."Doc Underwood," a name known all over the

Union, with the same red necktie, and keen, qulck-glanclng eye and lungs or steel and cheery vein Ofnever-ceasing chair that have challenged attentionsince all of us were many, many yearsyounger than we are now. Listen to him ashe yells out, "How much for first choice, gentle¬men V One hundred, five, ten, twenty, fifty,aud so on up to four or five hundred, as was thecase once yesterday, a thousand and fifty dollars.You stare In vain around you for the bidders. Nowaud then you may detect a man making a slightnod, but not often, and scarcely ever do you hearthe faintest murmur of assent. Hard work indeedmost the cheerful litt le man have of It, as he thusrattles along like a sort of intermediate agent01- middleman of Fortune, making arrange¬ments for the transfer of thousands andthousands of dollars from one pocket to another,and taking an honestly earned commission, ofcourse, for Ills trouble. Every accepted bid is noteddown in his book and the maker thereof forthwithjostles through the crowd to the desk where sitsthe clerk with his pool tickets and cashbox, andproducing his wallet finally hands over his green¬backs into the custody of Kate. Thus the "fun ofthe fair" goes merrily along until the bell rings tocall the horses on the track, and there Is at once astampede of the greater part of the crowd to thegalleries in the grand stand, a few faithful sports,however, still remaining, who bid until the steedshave almost started.

BKFORK TUB START.Oreat fun it Is also to mingle with the crowd and

listen to the comments made upon the horses asthey are led, nervous and eager, to the startingpoint. Of course every one who really knows any¬thing about them keeps his opinion to himself, butthere are a great many people who know nothing,aud therefore find it necessary to say a good deal,and to say It as loudly as possible. "Alarm Isin splendid form," cries out one young gentle¬man in a pair of very tight pants and a very shortcoat, and as you look at him a second time youhave a vague recollection of navlng bought a pairof kid gloves from him in'a certain dry goods storeup town. Hut he is only one of many. There is a gen-eral buzz as the horses are saddled, which is chieflymade up of comments of mnch about the samenature. The whole stand, however, settles down intoserious interest as the Jockeys mount and ride up totake their places. Here and there men make lastbets, ami there Is a murmur of disappointment atevery false start. Then, when at last the red flagfalls and the race Is fairly begun, what a deadsilence falls upon the course! Look where yon willthere are eager fac.es, all turned In one direction ;but (here Is scarcely a sound, save when In turningthe bluff or passing the stand there is ahard struggle for the first place, and thenthe cries last but a moment, though theyseem strangely earnest. So the crowd remains ab¬sorbed and still for a minute or two, until at thehomestretch there is one simultaneous yell of ex¬cited Interest, and In a moment more the goal Ispassed, the winner known, and the track and quar-ter stretch again become a popular pi oraenndc.Plenty to look at. plenty worth looking at, even Ifyou care but little about fast horseflesh.

THE RACING.

The track was heavy, but the day was Wright nn Ithe running good, although not fust. There werefive events on the card, the first being the Ladles'Stake, lor three-year-old Allies, for which there was

BALTIMORE, Junr H7AThe Ecclesiastical Court for the trial of Rev. Or

Huston, of tbe Methodist Episcopal Church, Mouth,for alleged violation of the moral code with ladymembers of his congregation, reassembled yester¬day morning, after a week-* intermission, at thelittle parsonage of the Trinity Methodist Episcopalchurch, on Diddle street, In tills city.The Court was called to order at ten o'clock, anil,

with prayerful preliminaries, was organized for 'lieday's wprk. Just before the adjournment iaatweek u motion had been submitted by Dr. Huston'scounsel to quash all ftirther proceedings and letthe matter go to the Coufereuce for flnal adjud.cation, declaring tint, t'ie prosecution had utterlyfailed to sust iln the case. As soon as the Courtwas organized yesterday morning the PresidingElder said this motion had been considered an<lwould be denied, and that the case would proceed.

Dr. Huston's counsel then made an offer to sub¬mit the case where it now stands, contending thatthe other charges were so iindetincd that it wouldbs Impossible to cover tlietn bv^any decent range

of investigation, and that the charge ol seduction,if sustained, was sufficient, and if it was not sus¬tained the other charges fell, because they all de¬pended upon the truth of that charge. This offerwas considered and refused by the pros 'cution;but after much discussion It was agreed to reduceall the remaining charges into one and dellne It Intwo specitlcations, naming days and dates, so thatit could be covered by proof.THE CHAROE OF CONTINUED 11,1.tOIT INTERCIHIRSItWith the young girl who brought the charge of re¬duction only remains now to be considered, andthe investigation will theu probably close. Theyoung girl, Mary Drlscoll, went upon the stand to¬day to detail the circumstances of her allegedamours with this accused reverend.No witnesses of Importance were examined yes¬

terday, as it was nearly all spent in considering themotions submitted by t he defendant's counsel.

TlIK PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY.From the proceedings yesterday It was believed
