Itisnow well known that the game was formerly a very favorite one in Paris, having Deen Introduced towards the second half of the foartesnth century. At that time no racket was used, the ball being driven by the palm of the baod, whence the name—jeu de Paume. It wasat @ later period that the racket and leather glove wera adopted. The game extended rapidly, | and such large sums were- staked upon matches that Charles V. prohibited it by a decree of the 3d of April, 1369, It.would ap- pear that not much heed was paid to the or- der, for, in 1394, the Provost of Paris, by in- struction from Charles VI., confirmed the pro- bibition, But Royal decrees and instructions from the Provost were alike inoperative; and, seeing this, Francis I. conlented him- self with laylng down rules for the game. He aphointed stakeholders to take charge of the bets od to decide on questionable points in the play. From that period the game, freed from all trammels, spread-rapidly, and nobles, trades- men, and artisans alike gave themselves up to it with the utmost ardor. Large sums were bet, aod the momoirs of the time state that the stakes were a8 high ss at faro and lansquonet. Females took part iu it, and it was not rare, saysthe historian, Saint- Victor, to see dames of high lineage share in the games, where they totained their maaks. In the sixtecnth and seventeeuth centuries, Paris had more than 100 tennis-courts, tho most noted be- ing those of the Clos de Sainte Gonevieve, which was called the ‘ Tripot des onze millo diables ™ (the gambling-hell of the 11,000 devils), and of the Iiue de Bercy, designated the ‘*Jeude la Croix Blanche " (the game of the white cross). THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE. Who Owns 1t ? Aew York Sun, 3 Bosron, July 8.—1o the Kditor of the Sun : Will you Please be kind enough to inform the public in _general what all this talk is sbout Jay Gould, the young editor, and tall tower 7 If Lhe young editor i3 the man you Tepresent him to be, how is it that the Tnbunz is such popular paper 7 e hops your statements are cor- Tect, 38 wa think too much of the Sun to bave it may snything to injure anybody unjustly. Hoping you ‘may find space to snswer us, we remain, . My Wire axp L TIn aukwer to the above we gite tha following from the New York correspondence of the Bos- ton Jlerald, merely adding thaé the facts as stated io the extract below are generally known in newspaper circles here. In saviog that the youog editor is the tool of Jay Gould, the Sun does him no further injery than to pubiish aa injudicious fact, and mo one can say thet we' treat the youug editor unjustiy when ws de- nounce, a8 we do, such prostitution of journal- ism : It hes bun\undu'mtfiod for eome time in New York that Gould makes no secret of the fact that he controls and uses the Tribune. That he does own tha conttolling interest in the con- cern thero is really no room for doubt. Itis explained as follows: When in the winter of 1873, Mr Orton, of the Western Upifon Tele- graph Company, ascertatnéd that Colfsx, whom he was about to make editor of the paper, was a 1ascally frand,—which caine out Just then in the Credit” Mobilier exposnres,—he wis glad to sell out the controlling interest to Reid, who ob- tained from William Walter Phelps, his youog milllonaira friend, tha half million dollars re- qnired for tho t.ankaction. Mr. Pnelpa wasaup- posed to be immensely rich, and b believed tn Iteid and toe futurs of the Tribune. He went into the operation asa permanent iuvestment. Bat in_the summer of 1873 3r. Pheips had a long and dangeroua fit of sickness. Misfortune never comes single to younz millionaires, any ‘moro thian to poor people. When he got back to Lealth and his basiness he fouud that the panit had prostrated the busivess of the country, and that the buga suma of money which he kad put into certain Texas railroads wora suak, and in- deed that his fortane was in A fait way to disap- pesr altogether. It bocame .nocessary for him to recall yhe money, which he had given to Reid to purchase back the control of the Tribune. Then Mr. Reid was compeiled to go down into Wall street aod raiss the monsyto keep the paper or reure from its mansgement. Bat Tribune stock had become a rather doubtfn) in- vestment for careful men who wanted to be swe of regular dividende, sud tbere was but one man who wadted to take the load off Mr. Phelps’ shoulders. «That was Jay Gould. To him the control-of the Tribupe was valuable. and in his ratfons agminst Pacific Mail, and on the ect generally,the paper has rendered him con- siant and eficient service. Of course, it made very litile difference. to Gould whether he de- rived any profits directly from the publication of the paper. He could even afford torunitat a loss of $50,000 or $100,800 a year, while count- ing up his gains in stock specalation by the mil- lion. Itis eatimated thatJay Gould has made Trom $10,000,000 to £15,000,000 by his operations in Union Pacific and otherstocxs during the past year. Commenting on these stataments, the Cincin- nati Qommercial sxys: It is inferred that Jay Gould owns the Tribune because & tremendously expensive building has becn erocted, and a very expansive newspaper published, m;} becmG ia Mr. Whitels . succes: . Greeley, ma~ wat a capitalist and :h:“,rh?;.: uot bvu{x talking abony ?ue‘ Iay Goula chargo. It wili be remembered that Alr. Reid purchased the sliazes of atockgthat pave bim control of the Tribune of Mr. William Orton, the Presideat of the Western Union Telegraph Company. He did this with the approbation and co-operation of 21l the stookholdars engaged in the editorial de- partment. Orton was glad to sell, and sold ab a price that was very moderato. The une just then seemed to have Jostiisgrip. Just now it certainly bas not the sppearance of lacking vitality. \We presume it is not unfair to sssome that, with his extonsive acquaintance and the hearty sympathy of such men o3 Ripley, Taylar, aod Hay, Reid was able to malke the negotiation with Orton without compromsing himee!f. We havo heard on very good amthority the nams of a ‘backer " given; and his Dame was not Jay Gould, nor was he ever heard of 1n Wall street gambling or any jobbing that would seek the Belp of a newspaper. We did not think it our bus:ness to inquire into particulars. Theé Trid- une, at the price Reid paid, was a first-rate in- vestment. He conld have eold out at 2 handsome advance without waitiog long to do o or looking around emong speculators. f + But whers did the money come from that put up the Tribune Bulding,sthe cost of which is at least- £500,000, and is estimated at $500,000 ? This is not & conundrum that one must give up. The Tribune Company gwned the ground upon which the old building stood. That wasa good basis of operatious, The Tridune Com- prosbad eulted away for building purposes $125,000. That was'a good start. The. Tribune Company held a policy of $10§,000 on the life of Horace Greeley, which was paid and placed in tbe building fund. All the modey that the Trib- ‘une has made for two vears and a half has been expended on the building—the stock payivg no dividends. If we may piaca the figure at $150,- 000,—and that doss not seem immoderate—we account for $375.000. Now, if you will give a Chicago builder the ground and $375,000, he wiil put you up a building worth a million, aud uot Dorfow & doliar of Jay Gould, Why sbouldn't such a thing happen in New York without over- ooming us with special wonder? . _— WHO AM 12 1 stand at morn upon my broad domaln, And cast my eyes sdmiringls, o vain, To reach the farther bounds of my. catate, Bo yast iny interest and sy Weallh bo great, Rich in their dewy batbing Loy the felds, Loslug their Lnage in the misty vales, Beyond which rose the summis of the mount, Drinking the first draughts from the solar fount, And, as 1 gazed, my feblings rors apace, And’queried : ¥ Who am I, of ali the race? ‘Aud 1 not lord of all that f survey ¥ Dol not hold o'er all potential wway?

The only event of local musicsl interest dar- ing the past week was the concert on Thuraday evening, dovoted to the exhibition of the new organ of Unity Church (the Rev. Rabert Collyer). It was a very remarkable concert for many rea- sons. First, it was given outof the musical season, when most concert-goert are away, snd upon one of the hottess nights that could be conceived ; and yet it called ont i very large and very elogant audience. Becond, the managers had the good sense and judgmeit to go away from home for their attractions, md make it not only superior to the standard of bome concerts, but folly up to tne etandard of the concerts by traveling tronpes in the heighi of the season. Third, aithough the primary obfct of the con- cert was for tha opening of 4 nev organ, and a maguificent one. at that, the ogan was mado secondary fu the programme, and thus one curee of organ concerts was removed and the audience was saved & very tedious in- fliction, % which has oftes happened elsewhere. Fourth, the preramme was solected and arranged with great care, not only with reference to showing the «gan, but also providing the audience with sn cellent vocal concert, and in poth thess particuars a very re- markable success was obtained, forit may safely be asserted that thefe whs nots dull oruo- interesting number on the programne.

Thers is brilliant promise that Chicago will have the honor of contributing s great prima donna to the lyric stage. At a musical soiree at the dwelling of Mrs. Magnusson-Jeweit, on Wabster aveoue, last Monday evening, Miss TIraue Koon, a pupil of that lady, made & remark- able exhibition of vocal talent. Although sheis Dot yet 13, and has been taking lessons only two yenrs, sho is already conversant with Italian, and bas mastered the scores of foor difficult operas,—* Lucia di Lammermoor,” * Martba,” “ La Sonnambula,” aod * Travista.” Bhe sang Fome of the most difficult passages of these operns, and also rendered the waell- kuoown test picos, ‘¢ Carnival of Venics,” with a brilliancy and facility of execation that cam- manded the warm encomiums of the critics in- vited to witness her performance. Miss Koon is agousin of Mionie Hauck, the famous American prima donna, and is devoted to her art. IHer voica i8 a clear, Lght soprano, unsurpassable for flexivility and Sweetness, and is under perfect control, the most difficult runs and trille being excuted with the ¢ preatest possi- ble delicacy, and ¢ precision, ~ and sweelness. Miss Koon's voice resembles Miss Kellogg’s, in that it is morp remarkable for sweetness and flexibility than power, although it is of that penetrating quality that can traverse the largest auditorium. Miss Koon devotes her- self to ber studies with greas assiduity, with.the intention of making ber debut upon the lyric stage on the completion of her musical educa~ tion. She has already made wonderful progress, and gives evidence of the highest order of artistic atulity. —_— ABROAD. EENDY WARD BESCHER'S CHOTA. The Brooklyn Kagle of the Bth contains the following interesting details concerning Afr.

This sum, after deducting 3 small amonnt for inctdental expenses, 15 distributed among six in- dividuzls, comprehiending the solo quartet, and sssistant organist. The suxiliary chorus, num- bering seventy-five voices, is entircly volunteer, Miss Clementine V.

The dolo contralto is Miss Anns_E. Holbrook, 2 valusble member of the Glee and Madrigal Society. Miss Holbrook succeeded Mies Dunphy in April last, coming to Plymouth from the Firat Presbyterian Church in Heary street. Hor compensation is $500, Mr, J. W. Hillhas been solo tenor of Pirmouth for four years at an annual mlary of $1,000, with $250 “adational for conducting the music in the Bethel ~Mr. John Zmmdel i3 paid $1,500, He has organist of the church whoae pastor is 5o dear to him the better part of twen ty-five years, aud will probably end ks days in its service.

With the talent and resources at command, Plymouth_Church should_have the fineat musio in Brooklyn. But the contrary is, nevertheless, the fact, True, the servica does not admit of » con- fiuity of lavish display, but it not infrequently bap- peus that due sdvantage fails to be of the oppor- tonities which offer. And just bers, Mr. Beecher, whoss shoud=rs would seem strong eneugh to bear the burden of any and all akortcomings, comes in for the anathema maranatha, very mildly expresaed of the aspiring vocalists, M. Beecher, they explain, will bubble over with Bgethoven at one moment, and the next sink to the level of ** Come, ye disconsolate;” 2nd more frequently tho latter than the former. In corroboration, Afr, Beecher’s chsracteristic recital to 3 group of parishioners after service of the affect of an €laborate * opening plece” is quoted. It was Men- Qeissohn’s * I waited for the Lord,” and the soloists congratulated themaelves upon an artistio and praise- worthy interpretation. But Ls delicate beautles were ‘lost upon 3r. Beecher. “first Miss Lasar waited for the Lord; then Mizs Dunphy waited; and after they'd ‘waited awhile, Mr. Hill came along and helped them wait. Finally Mr, Camp tried waiting for tbe Lord ; then they all waited. And all the whils I waited for shem, and hoped to the Lord they'd get through.” It may e aaded, bowever, that whatever the obstacle which stands In the way of Plymouth choir becoming the ex- ponent of classical music, the wonderful spontaneity 0d effective infuénce of the congregational singing which it leads can Dot be gainsaid. THE OPERA IN ENGLAND, The London Times of the 29th ult. says of Patti in ** The Huguenots”: - We bave had once more “The Huguenots,” Madsme Adelina Patti (in Hen of Madame Vilds) as Valentine. That this intrepid lady is determined to convince fhe public of her ability to shine in tho bigh- ot attainable sphers of lyric drama has been for some time spparent. At first her physical means were thought insuficient to cope succesefully with the Qramatic and musical requicements essential to the adequata sssumption of Meyerbeer's most cherishad beraine. But the performance of Friday night set all Soubts at rest. Madsme Puttl bas completely mas- foved the character; and it is now oa easily at her command as that of Amina in the ‘‘Sonmam- " or as that of Roring in the - Barbiers."-{u both ‘sho, without dissent O ThiC, fote iruthfal conception of 3 part which 80 Iy renowned artista have sasayed, and so few have Sueceeded i realizing according to the idealof the author and composer, could not easily be imagined.

THE TEEATRES. L Amusements in tho city have been of 8 phe- nomenal description durmg the past week. Bat one thestre has been opei, the others having closed their dcors, fearful of a contost with Mr. Barnum's Bippodrome.

It is doubtful whethar any other city in the couniry could support in the middle of summer for two weeks such a drain a8 Chucago has done during the past fortnight. The success of *“The Two Orphans” points very clearlly to thia conclusion: that the ¢ respectable element of Chicago which refuses its countenance fo plays of questionable moral tendency, sud discourages by ita absence such pieces 2a aim morbid suggestion to live upon the evil inclina- tions of ths public, will, when called upon, give aid and comfors to what is meritorious and of good report, It is due as much to its sound moral teacbings aa to its rich dramatic incident, absorbing interest, and remarkable acting, that “The Two Orphans” owes ita populanty in New York and Chicsgo. There is, morsover, enozmons drawing power in its iatrinsic ex- cellence. The manager of the ¢ popalar entertainment,” after a brisf and not too enjoyable experience of six days, solemn- 1y announces tHat *-there is no money in cago.” Mr. Hart Jackson has found s mint of money in Chicago.
