A visit to it was made by the County Commissioners on Friday to jook over the ground and the surroundings, and discuss the best way toscllit. Lhe proverty comprises about twenty acres, intersected by Drexel boulevard, Lake avenue, Exandale avenue, Greenwood avenue, and Hyde Park avenue, It was appraised last August by Cole s subdivided i and U7 lots, ranging fre front, and from 150 to 210 feet deep.

Their improvements wi make eagy thosale of the remaining tots, ifany remained, which wonld be doubtful. Why not sell the property on the Call Board?" The residents of Hyde Park are yery anxious that the County Bourd should sell their land, Dut also wish that it be not given up to specu- lators, but sold by lot, with no lots of ‘n less size than tifty feett front, and in the deed giving the land a clause that no liquor sball be sold‘on the premises. This would make the entire locality clean they say, and benelit all the property su: rounding. A szentieman largely interested suc- gests that the property be placed in the hands of a Commission, not Commissioners, who shall hold their office until all land be sold, and that these Commissioners shall receive the usual per cent when property is paid for. This will save much more money than if a salary was paid. for in that case the property would remain unsold for at Jeast twenty years, or until the life of the Commission had expired. BUILDING. Butlding fs still quict. By July or August the building season will be under way, and, if nothing untoward happons, the amount of new walls put up in this city before winter closes in will be enormous. The New Jerusalem Society has closed a con- tract for a new church on the north side of Van Buren street, between Michigan and Wabash avenues, to be 60x, with a stone front. It will cost $30,002. The Building Department’s receipts for April were $77, There were 107 moving permits granted, and 438 for sheds, stores, and dwellings. In the building permits issucd during the week were those to S.

Tho vacation of South La Salle street fora new Roard of Trade building was considered by the Commitree on Strects and Alleys, South, Inst Monday. Tho Corporation Counsel informed the Committee that he had examined all papers with reference to the opening of -La Salle strect, and that they were in legal form, and that the. city’s interests were protected so far as they were concerned. These papers were: 1. A deed of tho Tracy heirs dedteating to the city a strip six feet wide on Sherman street and one 100 feet wide on Pacific avenue, between Jackson and Van Buren; 2. A bond signed by W. L. Scott, of ic, in the sum of $25,000, he agreeing to pro- ity from ‘all damages resulting from Heleases from the great bulk if owners between Madison and Van Buren street; all on Sherman strect and Pacific avenue, and the Kock Ishind and Mich: gan .Quthern Railroad Companies: 4.

The ornance acecpting the dedication of the strips an\dectaring La Salte street south of Jackson vacatyl.- The Committee unanimously ugreed to recomend the passage of the ord: nance. There diag not see to be any oppos tion to the remot. The Chamber of Com- merce, Who are mit concerned, are entirely passive, and it is believed will not offer the least resistatice ty the renrowi of the Board of Trade. It was positively assertsd Saturday atternoon that the Common Counel,: at their meeting Monday, would not pass the: ordinance for tho yacation of South La Salle sezeet.—not thut the opponents of the vacation hat: bought the new members off, but that the prome.ters had foolish. ly neglected to buy them up. Improv: IN TRANSIT. A third belt-railroad project bas’ been an- nouncea. The Western Indiana, which is backed by the Drexels, of Philadelphia, enters the com- petition for tho protits of belting Chicago with a freight transfer railroad. President Isrown, of the Chicago &° Western In- diana, gives out that in a recent visit to New York he arranged everything for the immediate construction of a belt linc in con- neetion with his road. ‘The churter for the Chi- cago & Western Indiana Belt Company has been obtained and the right of way is The Western Indiana already has in its docks and trucks at South Chicago a lurge part of the system needed by a belt road. ‘Lo extend this so ns to girdle the city li require the additional expeaditure of but. $50,000 to $19,000 by bis road.

NORTIL SIDE BOULEVARD. The Common Council, by a not quite two- thirds vote, have passed an ordinance for a North Side bontevard to Lineoin Park. ‘The route selected is from Lincoln Park down Dear- orn avenue to Chicago avenue, east on Chica- xo avenue to Rush street, and alone Rushstreet to Illinois street. The Lincoln Park Comimis- sioners are opposed to this route, because it does not include tho Lake-Shore Drive, on which they have spent $20.00, but, while it does not include, {t does not ox- clude this street. ‘The Commissioners bave sent Secretary Taylor, of. the Board of Lincoln Park Commissioners, to Springileld with the draft of a bill which he is’ to urge the passnge of. It au- thorizes the Commissioners to extend the Luke- Shore Drive from tho north end of Pine street south. tho object being to gain a permanent out- jettoan improved street. Tie Commissioners hold that Pine street will never be an improved street between Unk street and Chicago avenue, because but one side of it is built upon or ever will be, and, since it is the only outlet from the drive to at improved street, its control, they should be by law vested in the’ Park and what the Ruard had been doing the rs shonld be legalized for the future. rk Commissioners think there is no need far two boulevards to the park, and they fear that the new boulevard will wenken them by dividing their resources, Public opin- jon Js in favor of a boulevard for the North Division, a3 for tho West and South Division, and docssiot regard the Lake-Shore Drive its sut- istactory alone.

Bowen has given a serious set-back to the Cal- umet region, and one which for many years will pe felt. Real estate, under Col. Bowen's hand, was bound to develop, and this gentleman, who possessed probably more energy with a faculty of expressing his ideas so that they would be be- Meved, had one quality predominant over oth- ers. He was good in selecting a location for starting his enterprises. Wheu Col. Bowen took hold of the South Chicayo property it was a dreary waste of sand, provided, however, with acapital harbor, which he bas had improved from time to time by delivering property in un- divided halves to gentlemen prominent in busi- ness and. politics. Col. Bowen pulled every string possible to mu the south half of Hyde . Park prosperous. Col. Bar en had 2 tug at the dock in South Chi- cago always rendy to leave to show visitors the country. ‘The later works of Col. Rowen de- serve the most notice, especiatly Pullman. Ail the lund owned by the Pullman Land Associa- tion was purchased by him, and he was inter- ested minany tracts himself. At the time of his death he had many manufacturers looking over the country for tho purpose of investing. He had planned asbip eaual to run from the Calumet River so as to give the Inkes a better mode of travel to the Gulf of Mexico,—one of his great hobbies. Arrangements havo-already ‘been made and will be carried out to build a steel borseshor Ftactory near Kensington, tho building to be 75x20, and to employ 15 men. Col. Bowen was interested in the Belt Line Rail: road about to encircle tne city, besides numer- ous, other enterprises, and bis death bas left a biank in the reni-estate prosperity which it will be hard to fill. b.

The Feratd, of New York, reports that one of the noteworthy signs of the general revival of business in that city is the extraordinary ac- uvity in real estate. There could be no better index that the business “boom” is not spasinodic or temporary than the fact that for months past there has been a slow but steady and emphatic improvement in the demand for real property on Manhattan Island. The de- precintion in the value of New Yori real estate which, at a comparatively recent date, wasa discouraging feature of the market, no longer exists. The daily reports of real estate trans- actions made from the records in the Register's office, aud the frequent and extensive auction sales at the Keal-Estate Exchange, all bear wit- ness to the great demand which exists for this substantial form of investment; ‘Tho World reports that there is a great deal of building in progress. A large number of flats, tenement houses, private dwellings, office build- ings. and stores are building or are to be built In the coming months. Most of the dwellings and apartment houses are being put on the East Side, between Sixtieth street and the Harlem River, enst of Fifth avenue. A large number of tho stores and office buildings in process of con struction are in the Fifth Ward and below Ci Hall Park. During the first quarter of 1880 250 plang were recoived. These plains were for 460 uildings, and the cost, us.estimated, was $5. 281,000. “For the first quarter of this ‘year the number of plans was 4, the number of build- ings 540, and the estimated cost $8,415,000. LOANS. Ta New York the Financial Chronicle snys that large amounts have recently been placed on bond and mortgage at as low as 414 per cent. ‘This was on very vholce‘property. . Still, it indi- cates the drift toward lower figures. Of course, such a low rate is not considered satisfactory by the lenders, chief among whom are the life in- surance companics, which have enormous amounts of money on real estate mortgages. ‘These are now casting ndout for some meuns to prevent the present mates from becoming perina- nent. The New York Life, the Mutual Life, and the Equitable, having come toan understanding, have intde a tacit agreement, we henr, to loan hereafter at no less than 6 per cert on this species of property. What effect this netion by three of tho srentest life corporations in the country will have, it is difficult to say, but it is powerful cffort in favor of maintain- ing rates. ——— TO MAUD.

St. Petersburg Correspondence Parts Voltaire. ‘The situation in Russia is growing so rapidly worse and worse that be is inclined to belicve that ere many weeks are passed Europe will witness another. but far more terrible, eatas- trophe on the ks of the Neva. The Emperor and Empress are threatened altaost every day in ull sorts of ways. On_ the morrow of the cution of Sophie Perowska her Majesty reece a warning that this time it would also br her children that the Nihilists wonld revenge themselves upon for tho death of that woman. The menuce is snid to have bad a deep effect on the Empress, who has ever since been io an alarming state, both mentally and physically. The correspondent tikewise informs us of n piot against the new Czar which was within anace of succeeding. The Government tried all it could to keep ita secret, but in: vain. Accord- ing to the details, which the writer professes to have received from a Major-General in the Russian army, who is well acquainted with the Imperial. Palace, Alexander [IL is in the hubit of working in bis study at night. His Majesty prefers candles on aceoant of te soft- ness of the light they give. Among those placed there were soine which, like tho bonbons for- warded to Alexander IL. a rt time before his death, contuined an explosive substance. The Prefect of Police got scent of this, aud at once repaired to the Palace, where bis. Majesty wus engaged, as usual, in his study. Rushing into the reont, hé blew out all the candies, and then ordered lumps to be brought. The Czar natur- ally looked amazed. and thought the Prefect hud gone mad, but the cause of his strange conduct was soon explained. ‘The candles were con- veyed to the Invoratory of the Prefegture, where they were duty exnmined, and huif-a-dozen of them were fotind to conceal poisonous and ex- pivsive matter capable of doing incalculable harm. ‘The writer admits thut all this reads very ro- mantic, but he assures us it 1s none the less true. He next proceeds to tell us that the execution of the sssaains of Alexander If.-has not pro- duced the effect hoped for.

The New York ‘ribune is a paper that rarely slops over musically. It fs a safe authority therefore for consultation, and those musicians who could not attend Dr. Damroseb’s Musical Festival will tind in its columns a cool and ca: fut view of the Festival, unintluenced by popu- luc enthusiasm or flurry. Of the performance of the “Dettingen Te Deum” of Hande! tt saya: ‘The perforinance ot the Te Deum was some- what uneven. as was to be expected with so large a choru: 0 yoices,—the constituent parts of which bad had but little opportunity to practice together. Certuin of the choruses went with nbundant spirit,and the immense volume of tone was extremely impressive; but some of them were rough, and the uncertuinty which once in a while’ manifested itself inoue or-another of the parts came near injuring the effect of two or three numbers very seriously. These defects, however, happily passed. asa general thing quite unnoticed, belng covered up by the orchestra and the other parts, and tho ef- feet in the muln was stroug and luspiring. Those f the choruses which were most satisfactorily wiveu were those which bud the greatest breadth and vigor. and the best of them were the open- ing chorus, ‘We praise ‘Thee, O Lord,’ the chorus, *AH the earta doth worship ‘Thee,’ and the mngniticent number, Thee Cnerubim and Seraphim.’ Mr, Whitney sang the bass solos with force and dignity, and Mis3 Cary gave *Vouchsufe, O Lord,’ entirely ad- inirably. But the trio, ‘Thou’ sittest at the right Bund of God,’ sung by Miss Cary, Campu- nini,and Whitney, went badly, with most un- fortumtte lack of smoothness, finish, and ex- ion. : Of the “Tower of Babel” performance it says the work as a whole went better. “Tho spirited opening chorus went capitally, and the choruses of the three tribes, which In- stantly caught the fancy of the public, were sung with perfect smoothnesss and witn’ much expresaion, a quitlity which was ton’ often wai ing in the ch 's work during the eventing.’ ‘The Berloiz * Requiem,” which was the prin- ut work of the Festival, eame near being a wreck, a3 will be seen by the following uecount: ‘Considering the 1mportant position which the Requiem ‘holds In Dr. Datnrosch’s scheme, it 1s unfortunate that its performance lust. night should not bive been more satisfactory than it tus. Remarkable flaish, delicacy, and precision may, perhaps, be too much to expect in a chorus of the size of that whieh Dr. Damrosck bas gath- “ered together, and which 1s composed of allsorts of. materials, though the chorus has at times given evidence of the possession of these quali- ties; but one surely has a right to look for a reasonable amount of certainty. .come asain with glory,” fin a drama entitled ’ romptitude, and precision in itssingmz. Ua- appily these were not always present inst ever~ > Ing, and itwas owing to the want of them and to ! shockimgly bad work on the part of tho orebes~ tra, that Several of the most powerful passages in the Requiem were rendered entirely ineffect- } iye. Why this should have been so it is not easy tosec. Everything went well enoush at the last: , private rehearsal, which took place on Thursday evening last, and none ofthe mishaps which marred last night's performance so seriously oc- + curred on that ‘oceasion. As # rule, works gor; yery much better in public t at the private: rehearsals, ror when they come before an audi- ence the performers are apt to be on their met~ He: but in the ense of the Kequiem tho very opposit happened. Where the dlume lay there is no need to inguire. it may bave beer the re= sult of nervousness on the pitrt of the conductor or of carelesness and inattention o.. that of the performers; in either. ease the unfortu- bate consequences are ‘still the same. The most aisustrous failure was in. the Resurrection Fanfare and the subsequent chorus, which ouscht to have been the tos fm posing and effective ein the whole work. + Up to that time everything had gone smoothly: The ‘ik and ‘Dies Ine’ ! had been worked up to, when suddeniy in the Fanture the auxiliary orchestras got altogether out ot ume, and tho basses, dismayed. it muy be, by the dis- aster which had happened to the band, forgot} entirely to come iu on the phrase ‘And He shull ' which shuuld baye * been declaimed fortissimo, and though Dr, Dam- rosch afterward collected ‘his senttered forces, the chance for the great effect was zone, andj was not to be recovered. From this time on & panie seemed to have taken possession of tho basses, never too tirm or certain, and the brass choir,’ The latter got out acain in tho ‘Lacry~ mosa,’ and utterly rnincd the climax of that” splenilid movement, and the basses only mude matters worse. Even the faithful sopranos, by fur the most reliable part of the chorus, faltered. ‘That the panic did not take possession of the! whole chorus was a wonder, and that tho latter ; part of the Mass went so well as it did was still! more remarkable.”” ANOTHER “ OLIVETTR” TROUPE. Another “Olivette” troupe is booked for Me- Vicker’s Theatre the latter part of this month, and, as will be seen by the following notice from a Philadelphia paper, tho “Acme troupe.” for such it is called, contains many names fuiniline~ ly known hero: “The Chestnut Street Opera se was well filled Inst evening an the first mance ot the Acme *Olivette” company, Z jon, Asa whole, ever given here of 3 aro being by al! odds the best Ulirette we have had, and appeuring to better advantage than ever before here; Mr. We Carleton the best Valentin: und Mr. Henry Peakes the best Captain de Merimac. “Mr. James Peukes is very goud as Cometicot. though he was sulfering from a cold fast evening, and Mr. George Olmt is satisfactory us Marvejol.
