Tbe spring meeting or the American Jockey Club at
lerotae Park finished yesterday with the most brilliaut
lay ol ibeieaioD. It was at first (eared tbat tbe post
ponement from .Saturday to Monday would materially
diminish tbo attcuduoce, but judging from tbe crowds
ib.it filled the stand aud quarter utrotch yesterday
aiternoon there were more people present tnau have
Mpd seen on aoy day during tbe meeting. The
woaiber wan ratber warm during tbe morning, but
later n> tbe afternoon a pltia-sant easterly breeze came
up the valley and proved decidedly refreshing. Tbe
spectator* arrived earlier yesterday tbau usual, an
everybody wax auxions to see the match between
Bazll and Cloverbrook, which was first on tbe pro.
gramme and set down ror threo sharp.
TUK KIDK Ot'T.
It reminded one of old times yesterday to watch tbe 1
string of carriages that (lied into the Park between tbe j
hours of twelve and two in the aiternoon. as tbey I
kept in one cotiiioti"Us stream during nearly the whole j
time and give the stranger the impression that there ;
?n something unusual on tbo programme. Tbey !
trove through the l'urk at tho regulation speed, !
tnd then wbcu tho Boulevard was reached tba
trotters were let out, aud tho light wagons soon dis
tanced tho heavy barouches aud laudaulots. Alter ;
pagmng Macomb's Datb Bridge tbo road became very 1
dusty, and tbo teams on the big lour-in-hand coaches
found the pulling rather heavy. Tho dust
w?s intolerable, rolling up in thick clouds that j
nearly suffocated tbe people in the carriages
ind drove a largo numuer to soek relief In the refresh
ing beverages that were retailed at the roadside hotels.
Coming up to tbe entrance to Jeroute i'arlj, a number
nf tbe carriages turned off to the right and took up
tbelr station on Deadhead 11111, tbo occapanta not
caring to enter the enclosure.
TIIK CAKS.
Tbe officials ui the Forty-second Street Depot vroro
taken by (turn yesterday alteruoou hy the people
thai crowded Into the wailing room and attempted to
aeeure lickeU lor tbe 1 :oO I*. M. tram. Many ol lUoiu
thai arrived ten minutes before tltu train started were
unable to catch it, us tue rush tor the ticket otllce was
so llorce mat tbey could not light their way
up id time. Kverybody seemed to be afraid that they
were going to be lolt, and consequently squeezed and
struggled with one another to get at tbe oflice. The
ponce uo doty at the depot, some Qvo or six Id num
ber, were perfectly powerless (or -otao time, as there
? ere nearly llfty porsona to each ollioer; but, finally,
about twenty minutes to two o'clock they began to get
them under crontrol ana lorccd them to keep in lino.
The hair-past ono special carr.od nearly two
thousand people, and thon fire minutes later
ibe regular way train carried 1.UOO more. Finding
the poople still thronging by the hundred, the officials
put on an extra special, which left al>oul 1:45, ?ud
b> Iped to c e ir away a iiorlion ol the passengers. Tho
remainder cainn on in the 2 P. M. and 2:110 1*. M.
trams. Ibe hack-* it the Jorome i'ark depot trans
acted quite a lucrative business, and (or a couple of
bonm tbe drivers kept their horses on a dead run be
tween the park and the depot.

the match for tft,CO<) a side, the distance one mile and
aquaricr, between Mr. i'. Loriliari's buy gelding Bazil,
by Melbouruo, Jr.. d-ni Nellie Gray, carrying lid lbs.,
aud Mr. K. A. Clabaugh's chestnut coll Cloverbrook,
by Vauxhall, dam liauilma, 3 years old, currying 1H
lb*. Cluvurbroo* was the favorite at tho start at ouo
hundred to eighty, and there were large sums wavered
on the result. The start was a pood one, C'lovcrbrooic
on tho inside, having his bead iu lront. He nudo
tho paoo vury strong u|i tuo quurtcrsirtlch,
aud as he panged the judges' stand ha led tbrco j
lengths. This advantage he relumed aroulid ihu j
upper turn and to the quarter polo; but coming down
to tuo bluff lluzil begau to shut up the day light, ana '
us they wont out ot sight they wero iiosu ui.il tail, with j
no daylight between I hew. lia/.il lay close to Clover- :
urook arouud the south Held, and wtieu on the lower
turn be mado a dash and tho race was over, us lie !
passed CI.,voibrook almost instant,y aud led two j
iuuglhs at the three-quarter pole. From ihero to tho
stand BjziI galloped leisurely m:d wou ny ten lctig;lis,
C overbroolt displaying moro temper than over
beiore. ilo has always showed a disposition to
bnu'Jc, and ho was run with blinkers yesterday,
B'ldcv the beliul that they would stop that unfortunate
propensity, but thoy seemed to imve a worse effect
thau being wnhoui tbeni. Cloverbrook began swerving ]
as soou a? ho reached the spot no Marie.i iroin, or as |
soon as tiazll was in trout ot him, and his Jookuy could
not keep Iniu straight alterward u|i tho homestretch,
liaz.l galloped homo a wiuuer by ten lengths iu 2:1-%,
which w.i.s something longer t.me tUan was antici
pated. The weight*, when considered, will make llint I
very lair time, und it would havo been luster h id Hazil I
beeQ run out at his best speed. The raco Was |
very much lino some ot tho old time
matches, as the bettors wore choosing the aorthoru !
or southern horse lor .avonies. "I'll net $lou on urn '
northern horse," "I'll lake the southorn horse lor *50," i
w?re the way the bets were laid, and ttie majority of
tho money was wagered at even, although jilOO to $80 i
Was wanting by the backors ol liuzn wueu tho Hag tell. !
Tho Clovorbrook party aro not satisfied with ther do- I
loat, aud attributo it solely to the mistake ol putting j
blinkers on their colt, as ho never had them on beioru |
in a race. Tho colts will corao together ugain at Sara
toga, no doubt, as they are both iu tho Travers stakes, ?
and another trial will be satisfactory lo both parties ;
In ascertaining which is ihelastost coll when they both
ruu their best a race out.

Association,

FIXE WEATHER AND WATER.
A Vast Concourse of Spectators
"Witness the Races.
Tbe annual regatta of the Harlem Association vaa
lield yesterday, and U was as ?iiccesslul an tbuae con
cerned In tbe management had beeu lou (o anticipate.
To tbe public, who swarmed to tbo Harlem by road,
river and rail, tbe weather could not have been more
agreeable than It was to the competitors. There
were two steamboats tbat followed each ruco,
tbe Edmund U Levy being assigned tbe rolercc,
timekeepers and other oitlcials, while tbe Birkbeck
was crowded with friends of tbe competing oarsmen.
At the starling point and about tbe Columbia and New
York Rowing Club bouses there were hundreds of
visitor*, but tbo great concourse of spectators was
about tbe finishing point, opposite Florence's dock, a
lew (eel south et Macomb's Dam bridge. It wis here
that tbe barge Genoral C. A. Arthur was moored, laden
with a thousand or more representatives oi tbo boauty,
wenlth and health of New York, while ou shore and on
the brtugo targe gatherings remained duriug tbo de
cision of tbo several events. Tbo show on tho wnter
was tbe iluest ever seun on the Burlom. jivery shell,
gig, barge and working boat on the river seemed to bo
gathered at iho ilo'sb, tboir occupants caring little
for the racing; they wasted tbe outing. The dresses of
the ladies oil shore and on tbo barge set apart for
thorn ana their escorts were msgnlQcent, combiuing
clegancc aud variety, without In any case being oulre.
The course was kept clear from start to finish. All
tbe races wcro rowed with tbe tide and wind, tho
latter southeast and fresh. All tho events were oon
mile straight away.

A great Interest centred iu tbo opening event, Judg
ing Irom the incitement aroused by the appearance ol
the starters. The Nautilus boat bad Uvc New York
shore; Nassau the Westchester side of tho river,
wilb Columbia between them. The oollcge Inds,
Goodwin and Sage, were the moro fancied, and on shore
ibey had backers whose coatideuce in their ability to
doibe trick neatly led to tbe putting out of consider
able money on mem. From the way ibe race began it
looked as i hough the Columbus would pull away Irom
their competitors without trouble, lor when oniy 20U
yards bad beeu gono the nose of ibeir boat was well
to the front and their course was admirable. Just
here the Nautilus lads came to the conclusion ihat
it would be a uood thing if tliejr could
givo tbe Columbia* the tail of their wash; so with u
very even, machine-like swing they sent their craft up
on even terms with the college uov?. und when one
quarter of a mile had gone were baif a lengtu clear.
Nassau, it was evtdont at an early stage ol the race,
was not dangerous. Tbo Nautilus boys did* not coasu
their excollent pace, and on tho next quar
ter of a mile there was uuevenness in tbo
pulling ol Goodwin and Sage that was
out ol place aud indicated that they were being
pressed beyoud their power. Wlion halt a milo away
me Nautilus' shell waB one length the best of it, with I
tbe Nassau three lengths behind Columbia.
Determined to make ihe bast ol the ad
vantage thus gained, Walsh and Levien
jumped to their work with greater vim, aud
wheu three-quarters of a mile bad been rowed wero
one length aud a ball ancad. Despite Columbia's
s ruggles and repeated spurtiug. Nautilus mado us
lead two lengths at tbo tlnlsb, Nassau five lengths
lurther away, t ime? Nuuti.us, 5m. 34>j's.; Columbia,

It was leli that wheu the** men were
called tbat a good contest would bo witnessed,
but, in reality. It was a one-sided alfalr. There was no
betting of any moment on tue result; (what little thcro
was being in iavor of Mills. When they wore given
tbe word Bates went olT like a rocket, and many i
smiled at his anxiety. Mills uud Fruzer to-,it j
the matter more coolly, and stretched to their |
task with a lair idea of what was required of
tbem. Tho latter, however, ulmost immediately
grow careless or nervous us he caught a crab, and
io8itigbisbalnr.ee, rolled as prettily over Into tne water
as it was possible to perform such n feat, which, of
course, put bim out of tbe race. 1'he majority ol the
spectators soon said tbat he was at home iu the water,
and so only laughed. Bales kept up his muscle-tear
ing stroke lor over a quarter of a mile, when be began
to weaken and came back to Mills, who,
whon three-eighths ol tbe journey was gone, had
his shell two lengths in Irout. This advantage was 1
increased to lour lengthR at tbe half mile, and then
settling to easy work. Mills won as ho pleased. Time?

Nkw IUmkpkg, Jane 18,1877.
Tbe annual regatta of tbe Central Hudson Yucbt
Club was sailed te-day at ibis place, over what la
known as the New Hamburg course. The morning,
although clear and beautiful, was not such as yachtsmen
most delight In, on account of tbe absoncc of u very
uelciusary element ot tbo sport?wind. But, as the day
ndvanoed, tbe gentle breeze from tho south freshened,
until Jar down tho rivor tbe waior, so smooth in tbe
morning, began to sbow wbitecups. Soon the yachts
were to be seen darting here and there over tho water,
while along tbe shore and on tbe docks ol .New Ham
burg crowds congregated to wllnos? what to tbem was j
the greatest day In tbo year, except, perhaps,
when a circus passed through town. A number
ol aalling vessels and steamboats arrived bere early In
tbe morning bearing spectators from Poughkeopsle,
Newburg and other town3 along the river Among
tbo ateam yachts ware the Dtshaway, ot Albany,
Captain Saunders; Spray, ol Ponghkeopsio; Jeunlc, ot
New Hamburg; Bessio, ol Poughkoepsle, and several
steamboats.
The incidents ot tho race were certainly the struggles
between the Victoria and tho Brown, and Molile and
the Freak.

The little a, S. King wag tbe first to cross tho linn,
to tbe evident elation of tbo crew Sha was followed
by tbe Mollle, wbo proved her-elf as tight a going
yucht as she was pretty, although sbe did not win tbo
raoe. Tbo breeze was a lively one now, and tbu fleet
got away to first rule order, siorouiing tbo

Off Hampton Point tbo Mollle was weathered by tho
Eloisf. The Victoria leit tbe Fidget a little boluw that
point and bore down on the Brown. When Low Point

entire lleet with the Victoria pressing hor. Tho Brown, j
however, btilug to wludw.ird, bad a considerable ud- '

Tim INrKMMTIOXAL MATCH.
Judge 11. A, Glidersleeve, who was captain of the
American rlilo team, winch, in 1875, reaped suob wcil
earued laurels noroad, has given his opinion on the
condilion w Barony adopted citizens are excluded from
competing lor places on tbe American team ol 1877.
The Judge says that while, under certain circumstance*,
be might proiar to see an American born team take
the Ucid, mill, In view ol the fact tbnt tbe team from
Ireland winch first laid down this objectionable rule
hail been repeatedly dofeatod by the Americans, li"
saw now no rennon for its continuance. He
believes that Americans by adoption should hav?
the same privileges to snoot for olaces on tho na
tional team lliut those born in the country possess.
To iako any other view of the m Utcr than this would
bo Illiberal and unjust toward our adopted citizens,
especially when it is considered that probably both
Irishmen and Scotchmen will be members of tbe
United Kingdom team.
The Hoard of Dnectors of the National Btfle Associa
tion hold a special meeting tins ulteruoon. They will
luku important notion upon affaire connected with the
appruechiug lnioriiaiioual rule contest for tlta Centen
nial trophy. It la also expected by many riflemen who
bavo manilested warmly tboir feelings upon tno point
th it tbe directore will tbrow out the condition in the
cummg match whieb exeiudes adopted stiisess IMA
