MM AT PHILADELPHIA. '
I First Day of the Breeders' Centennial Trotting
I Meeting at Snffolk Pgrk.
TWO INTERESTING CONTESTS.
? i ?.?
* Aldine and Governor Sprague
the Winners.
| PuiLAOtLrau, Sept. ST, 1S78.
The "Inaugural Breeders' Centennial Trotting Meeting"
began at Suffolk Park this alternoon, the track
I having improved greatly ainco the postponement >c?\
* tarda?, when it was deluged with rain, and it was aa
i fast aa could be desired. The wind blew a ball gale
,1 Irom the northwest all the morning, which had dried
Y the track completely, but it greatly Impeded the horses
m while trotting, and the time In consequence was not as
M good as It would have boon under more favorable cirf
; cumatances. The attendance was quite large, the
' i trains having brought great crowds down from the
f city besides tboso who cimo tothecouise In private
conveyancea The largo and commodious stands wero
I well filled with spectators, who seemed highly
w pleased with the entertainment presented, while
V the fields had also a largo number ' of
1 carriages and all stnda of vehicles, making a gathering
9 of people ol at least 3,000 or more. Tho first day,
I therefore, was a great success, and the belief is general
' ^ J ' that the other days of tho mooting will have larger
1 number* on the grounds. The colts and Qllies raco
for three-year-olds brought soven ol as Que trotters to
the post as could possibly bo expected, aud tho lime
made by them was truly wouderful, Mr. Treaty's
brown Ally Aldlne winning In '2:40 and2:40>i, with
only one break in the race.
The Oral trot was the Revolution Raco, for threeyear-olds,
a purse ol $2,500, $1,200 to the Ursl, $G50 to
the second, $400 to the third and $250 to tho fourth
horse; mile hosts, hest three In live. In harness. There
were thirty-eight nominations for this race, eloven of
which qualilied by poyiog $250 entrance, tho others
declared out by paying half forfeit. Tho horses named
on the programme to start were Joe Hamilton, Obcron,
I Caloric, Contractor, Aldinc, Honor, Sir Waller, Odd
1 follow, Jerome, Woomoss and Maid of Ash wood. AlI
dine was the lavorltc, Sir Waller and Caloric being socI
ond and third for choice. There was not a great
I business done, however, in pool selling. Of
I the above namod youngsters seven only came to
| the post, Jot Hamilton, Oberon, Contractor and Maid
4 of Ashwood being withdrawn. Those that started
I were as fine a looking let ol three-year-olds us ever
I appeared on a trotting track in this or any other coun.

Sprague won tho race tn three straight heats,

fc Lady Mills fourth, the tailor's admirers being greatly
1 disappointed with ner polortnunces, as It was well
known that abe did uot perform anywbero near what
I was expected of her. Governor Sprague woe tho raco

elined to leave his leel at limes. Ho breaks woll, but

I^Hprepetted postponements on account of the
gflfet tho announced fixtures for lb* fourth day of
HHjl trotting meeting at Fleetwood Park were deJHp
yesterday. These were the "forty-four'!- and
X^rty-one" classes, each originally having thirtoen
entries. The number that responded to the call of the
judges, however, was sensibly reduced front that
figure, owing to a variety of reasons, tbe more important
being engagements elsewhere, which the owners
ot those horses drawn thought better to keep than risk
the chances ot defeat at Fleetwood. An attendance of
about 400 was quite eneouraging to the management,
as the alterneon was eool and occasional rain squalls
made it far from pleasant.
tdk "rokty-roca" fcksb.
This was ot $600, and the starters wore John Conklin's
brown goldlug George lionry, P. ilcCaun's black
geldiug Pat. McCaun, W, C. Trimble's bay mare Lady
Everett, and William H. Hilton's brown gelding Pickwick.
From tho outset it was evident there was
"myslory" in the air, for the entire fraternity ot trotting
sharps had lorsaken McCann, known to be possessed
of great speed, and put their money In
tne box on t-ady Everett. Consequently, In the majority
of tho pools, so soon as tho betting was a little
settled, she was ihe lavorite. Lady Everett won the
flraPheut, jogging under the wire lour lengths in iront
ot McCann in McCann, alter much bad scoring,
went away very steady in the second beat, and, keeping
bis feet the mile, landed tbe winner by three lengths In
2:ZH. Ludy Everett was second and eight lengths tu
Irout ol Pickwick, while George Henry had tho flag
dropped in his laco. Notwithstanding McCanu's
rather brilliant work the I-ady was still kept tbo
lavorlto over the Held at tbo rates ol t36
to $20. She won Uie third boat in 2:3a>s,
walking under lb* wire threo lengths ahead of
McCaun, who was acen In front of Pickwick. McCann
broko twice in tho utile, tbe Brat lira* Just belore the
quarter pole was reached, and then be came to almost
a standstill and tell ten lengths to tbe rear. Ho out
loose on tbe backsirctch, however, and lor a tlinu
11 oiled like a ghost, but the leader was so lar to toe
front she bad tbo heat well In band, though McCaun
was gaining upon her at every stride. The Lady now .
brought 8 10 1 over tbo other*, and but lew wero
willing to lay a dollar agamat I.or. Tbe "talent" were
everjoysd, sfc they deemed their "judgment" bud beih
excellent. The rest ol tho race 1a easily told. McCaun
went otr and won the fourth and Blib beat* with coo.
uininata case, and lor once the sharps received a toss
they will nut readily lorgei. Lady Everett took aoeoud
money and Pickwick the third. Alexander Patterson
drovo McCann the tirsl heal and William McCarty, better
known as "Knapsack," tbe bnlanco of tbe race.

NotlQcstlou has been sent to Mr. John Kolly by ths
Commltteo on Confercnco of tho anti-Tammany party
of tbo action takon at their meeting of Monday night
Twouty-llvo members composo the conference committoo,
of which Mr. K. P. Mitchell Is ehalrmsn. What
will be tho next act in this melodrama remains to bo
mapped out by Tammany Hall magnates. Yesterday
the usual printed notloe was sent out for a mooting of
the Tammany Committee on Organization, to take
place on Saturday next at the Wigwam, in Fourteenth
street. It Is understood that a conference committee
of one from each Aaaembiy district will he then designated
from that side of the bouse, meet with their brethren
of the Anti-Tammany organisation and eonsult as
to Inture movements.
In the meanwhile the leader* on both sides ore very
actlvo. Mr. Kelly, it Is given out, favors a union; but
It Is fearod that the "my candidate" procltviuea of
that gentleman must eventually defeat a welding to
getuvr oi local ucmocratic lorccs in rnovemucr next.
There are dangerous oiements In both parties ready to
break out lu chaos at auy moment. The candidates
for office are almost incalculable. At least 200 statesmen
want to be coronera Then come ^e Aldermen,
Assemblytnou and Congressmen. In each district tbo
scramble lor tbeso placos will bo very bitter. On tbo
principal offices?Mayor, SberllT, County Clerk and
Surrogate?of eourse the main battle centres. Tbo rosult
of tbe late skirmish lor tbo chairmanship of the
Antl-Tammsny Conference Committee yesterday
changed somewhat the complexion of peuding union
movoments. Ex-Shurlir O'Brien developed an unexpected
strength in the organization, uud it
now looks as if fie can exercise a controlling
Influence iti its councils should the Hhrievuliy be
given to seti-Tammsny as part of the basis of union,
it Is coucsded tbat the ex-Senator can euHiiy carry off
tbe nomination. But tbo Irionds of Mr. Bernard
ltetlly, wbo I* strongly urged as tbe Tummnny nominee,
are up in arms and Insist upon It ttiat tbeir ftvorito
must not be tbruwu overoourd. Then comos Senator
MorrUsev and adherents, who, if is said, want tho
Shrievalty tor ex-Aldermau Jo.swpu Shannon, so that
"bosom lrieud" James Hayes cun bo taken care ot in
handing over to him hail tho patronage ol that department.
Then there Is Colonel William K. Roberts,
a candiuate lor County Clerk, snd Tammany Hail will
be wlso II tbo Convention gives blm tho nomination,
as be will make au excellent and respectable official.
But tho Uerinsn element must be looked alter, and
union of anil-Tammany with Tammany brings to tbe
Iront certain strong candidates who do not represent
that nationality.
This was tho condition of looal political afTiitra yesterday.
Kx-bhoriir U'Bricu bus taken offices in tne
Staati Ztxlung bulluing, and crowds ol adherents
puascd In and out during Uto day. Mr. Kelly's office
In Nassau streol waa also ihrouged. Senator Morrlssey
holds out at tbe Hofliuuu House, but sauntered
down in tho afternoon to the Now Court House. His
friends stscri tbst there will bo no union ; but whoo
politicians make a certain statement tba contrary is I
expected to Its tbs result

and the republican Indorsement, which can
be safely set down at 44,000. This Is the programme
and ihoir brilliant prospects talked of by those wbo oppose
Tammany Hall and the "one-man" power. The
proposed deal between the tl or rinse y-Illxby-lUrl
cabal and Mr. John Kelly, It la allegod, has aroused
public resentment tcalust tho bartering sway of public
office by so clone a corporation, and there la likely to
bo considerable "music In the air" before election day.
At the L'n:on Square Hotel, Filth Avenue Hotel,

Till UKID1UON AND FLOOD ROCK.
Twonty-llvo puuuds ol iiynamito were placed andet
tbe highest spur ol the Gridiron Uuck just before the
groui explosion, unci n wns calculated lltut tbo concussion
irom the latter would oxplodo It. Ttie shock was
so light, however, that tho dynamite was not nifected,
and to-day, at low water, Uernurd lloyd will proceed
to place a small quantity of explosive uiutorial hesids
It, and to fire tho how charge by means of on electric
current, and thus insure the explosion ol the larger by
direct concusslou.
Flood Hock, on which operations are now to commence,
is about seven aorus In extent and lios in the
middle ol ihe river, about 1,000 leel Irom Halleti'a
l'oiuiand 750 foet Irom the Astoria shoro in a direction
southae?l of tho silo of tbu great blast ol .Sunday.
With plenty of lunda It wni lake two years to destroy
this rock, and it will ncccastlaie the use ol lou.ooo
pounds of explosives. Work was begun on the rock In
July, 1875, and went steadily iurward until May last,
when it was tus]>ended, principally lor lack oil undo.
A visit to tho rock yesiurdny showed thus
much progress-?Two shniis havo been partially
completed. They run parallel to the curronl of lbs
rlvor and sro about sixty live loot apart. Tho larger is
ten lect by twenty feet in plan and lllty-one feet deop,
the bottom being forty one leot below mean low water.
Tbe smaller abaft is shout twelve led square In plan
and Is twenly-tbreo led deep. The aggregsto loncth of
tunnels driven Irom tho shaft is ifca> leel and It M
calculated to icavc u rool ol rock similar to that at the
HalleU's reef excavation Irom seven to ten led thick.
There havo beou 1,462 cubic yards of stono removed.
At the southwestern extremity ol tbe larger teunel
smaller shaft has been sunk Irom the surlace
lielug about eight toel w Ida and tea
feet long. Thore has ulao been a tunnel out
at right angles with ibo other two starting from the
entailer, which la nearer to the Now York aide, running
through to the larger, and beyond that eleven lent
out toward the Aatoria shore. The ground plan of the
throe tunnels described is in the shape of au Indian
tomahawk, the longer tunnel lying parallel with ins
river and uearer to the Astoria sldo being tbo handle
126 lost long, the smaller parallel tunnel, 76 teet long,
loruimg the blade, and the cross tunnel connecting
the blade to the bundle and projecting forms the
hammer or pipe part, 11 (cot long. The point al
which the main shaft is sunk being ubove high water
mark it was not necessary to build a cutler dam, and
the stona removed bus to a great extern been disposed

Ing the shaft, making now a little island with a lovel
