In New York the managers of the Grand Trunk tinconti- Uonally surrendered (o the Eastern magnates, and will hereafter cont out all the provisions of the east-bound pool. and divide the busi- ness with the other lines. ‘There Is no doubt that sate convessfons have becn made to the Qrand Trunk heorder to get it to join the trumk-line combination, What these cone ceasions are fs not yet definitly known, but it is understood that It will get quite a large poreentage of the cast-hound bustness from his city, on condition that about one-half of this businessls glyen tothe Michigan Central, ‘The business of the Michigan Central has fallen off considerably sineo,the completion of tha Grand ‘Trunk to this city,and In order to fareo that business or a large share of It back again on the Michigan Central, Vanderbilt consented to give the Grand Trunk a larger shareof the business than ho has been will- ing to aceord to this Hue heretofore, As goon as it has been agreed by the regular pool lines how much business each one shall give up tothe Grand Trunk,-the Intter, it is understood, will make regular falls: reports of tts east-bound shipments from this elty to the Chicago Poo! Commissioner, Capt, Alex- ander Mackay, and alse weekly reports to the Board of ‘Trade, . Itis quite certatn that tha Grand Trunk hag mide a mistake in thus folning hans with Vanderbilt, who, itis well known, has no friendly eclings “towards this Hne, and has been striving for years to ruin It. It was, do doubt, good polley on his part to make peace with the Grand ‘trank ond avoid a dis- ruption of the ecast-bound pool, which is Vanderbilf’s pet hobby. .

Tho riding was very enjoyable for the first five hundred yards or so, When suddenly a mast horrible curva was reached, round which the motor with Its car attached spuu at a rather uncon fortuble gait. ‘Then came a serles of serpen- thie curves tliat were enough to frighten anybody, but there was no slowing up, On the BOUL nore power was put on, until iuseemed thatthe whole party was folng. to be shaken from thelr sents, Tho [ne was located in the worst possible position by Kdlson, tn order that tho “beauties? of his invention would be readily seen by any one on the cars, Some of the curves are as sharp na those used on tho surface-roads round street-corners in New York, so the reader can fnagine how plcagnie It was to go round thei at the rate of about forty miles an hour, ‘The strangest part of the program wis the ensy manner of controlling the motor, it being stopped within titty fect although golug ata high speed. It ran up against the heuvy grades ag. caslly as on the Jevel track, and was a8 powerful at the end of the track as In the station, where the electric current first reaches tho rail, - After the first trial the reporter was invited to ride on the motor without having the car attached, sa thatthe speed would be Increased.

OBER-AMMERGAU. Tho Firat Repreacntation of tho Pas: sion Play=A ‘Dignificd, Simplo, and Realistic Performance. i ‘rhe correspondent of the London Dally News gives the following telegraphic account of the first public performance of the Pas- sion Play at Ober-Ammeorgnu on May 17: “'lhe crush ts 80 grent that all tiekets for the first day's performance wero sold yesterday by 5 o'clock, and at 7 last evening the public erler went round tho villago with the an- nounvement that, In order not to disappoint those who had traveled far and been unable to get pluces, there would be na second repre- sentation on Tuesday, ‘Che unresorved sents, which number close on 3,000, were full at a very enrly hour In the morning, although the play did not begin until 8 o'clock. One could not help noticing tho pre- ponderance of English and Americans In the reserved sents.” English was almost tho only Innguage spoken. I hardly think that) there were 10 percent of Germans, Shortly after 8 the loud boom of a cannon fired from 9 netghboring ‘olovation announced that the play was about to commence. All eyes were turned. toward the stage, and the chorus, nt- tired in splondld robes, advanced ina grave and atately manner, singing In very fair volecs three or four verses beginning with the words, * Though the anger of God fs just, stil He does not wish the death of tho “sine ner? While the chorus are singing the Inst verse thoy divide in the middle, falling back on elthor side and disclosing the central stage. As the Inst note is heard the curtain rises, showing 9 fine tableau, representing the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Para- dise,, AVhen the curtain drops on tho first tableau the chorus resume thelr original position, and continue singing, until an- other tableau is shown fn the’ same way, ‘Then comes ‘the first scene, the choris Tetiring, It Is the entry of Christ Into Jerusalem. The effect fs very finegin- deed, Our Savior, riding on nn ass, sits sideways followed by I[!s Disciples and peo- ple and children, with flowers, Josef Mater, who represents Christ, filled his Tate ade iilrably, so that the eyes of the audience of nearly 6,000 people were riveted on hin, Tho stn was shining brightly at tho thne, light- ing up the beautiful robes of tho performers, and rendering the scene charming in the ex- treme. ‘Tho Savior thon dismounts, drives out the proney-changers from tho temple, and overturns their tables. ‘Then follows a tableau, also well set, representing the con- splrncy of Joseph's brothors. Limay remaric that all the subjects of the tableau vivants are tnken from the Old Testament, and each thne are followed by a fulfillment from the New Testament. ‘The secon scene, remark. abje for its gorgeousness, was the Council of Jifyh Priests, and others o! rder, dis- cussing what punishment should be dealt to tho Mun of Galilee. The scenes which fol: lowed were striking representations of the nc! and sufferings of our. Lord up to the ertici- fixion, ‘This Inst seene was very affective and beautiful, and was performed in a reall: wonderful manner. ‘The audience was al- inost: breathless with the seeming reallty of the representation, The figure looked as If It was actually nailed on the cross. Blood ‘was on both hands and feet, and even with a good opern-glass one could not possibly de- tect how Josef Mater could remain so long in this position, ‘The crucifixion seang Ingt- ed twenty-onu minutes, and was carried out in evory .dotall, even, fo the nlercing of the breast with a spear, blood rushing out of the wound, ‘The actions of the performers wero represented on the one hand with such earnestness, and on, the other with such in- tense situplielty and devotion, that one’s eyes wero fixed to the spot. After the body was taken down and buried in the sepulehra a short thine elapsed, when tho entrance-gtone fell, and Christ appeared clad In silver gauze for but n moment.” ‘The correspondent of the Telegraph says: “ Josef Miler ucted or rather moved the part of Christus with acalm, earnest, and digni- fied manner, and the words he had to utter were delivered In a dep, rich volce, which fell upon the ear with a strange smoothness and sweetness, Every movement ho ude was quiet and graceful, Tho actresses were by no nienns 80 fou ag the men, ‘The chorts sang indifferently, although the Choragns, the solo tenor, and bass ciembers of the Schuizageister were adinirable, ‘Twice during the morning’s — performance the nudlence very determinedly suppressed “at- tempts to upland, The spectacular effect of the procession with the crons was magnit- cent, owing to the new and correct Roman soldier-costuines. ‘Tha acting of Judas was mingnificent. Somo laughter was caused by the accidental breaking of the branch of tho tree on whieh he was about to hang himself, ‘The crucifixion sceno was terribly realistic, causing & profound and painful impression. The performance was more perfect and ba- finlly better mounted than in former years. Another correspondent says: Josef Maler isn tall, thin man, about five fect eleven, with long shiny black hair and beard, and a pale face. Tits eyes ire small and his noso wants boldness, but his expression Is gentle and de- votional, Ho hng been much petted by vis- {tors, especially the English, and has received many presents, Next in lnportnnceis Gregor Lechner, who plays Judas, and has played this character for tho Inst thirty years.
