JOHN CHAMBERLAIN.—A corres- pondent, writing up the Jerome park races, says: “Emily Jordan, or rather Mrs. John Chamberlain, was the most magnificently dressed Woman among the gorgeously-at- tired throng. She wore 2 brown dress, the convolutions of which it would be quite im- possible to describe; carried a blue parasol of marvelous make, and shone resplendent in diamond soltaires and a butterfly, which was one mass of priceless light. Her turnout Was a fitting frame of this gorgeous ‘get-up,* and even the white and gold carriage robe which was thrown across her lap must have cost a pretty sum. She out-blazoned even Mrs. Theodore Moss, who was superviy dressed.” PERSONAL.—Mr. John C. New, the newly- appointed United States Treasurer, arrived here yesterday atternoon. ----Her many friends, in Washington and elsewhere, will be sorry to hear that Miss Austine Snead (Miss Grundy) is lying very low at the resi- dence of her uncle, Mr. Charles S.

A a (Correspondence of The Star.) St. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY, ? near Emmittsburg, Md., June 2ith.} Eiitor Star:—To-day dawned bright and a beautiful, yet the sun never upon fairer and more delighted audience than w: thered within the walls of St. Joseph ‘pon the main platform sat his eminence, Cardinal MeCloskey, surrounded by Bishops Elder, Becker, Corrigan, Lynch and MeNer- hany, Ab-Legate Roncetti and Monseigneur Seton, grandson of Mother Seton, the founder of this famous institution. The bright pink robes of the Cardinal afforded a happy con- trast to the purple of the encircling bishops; and the sight was particularly impressive to one accustomed only to the outside world. On either side of the s' were ranged the young ladies of the academy, clad in im- maculate white, relieved ouly by blue sashes, bebind them and against each wail sat the Sisters, whose dark dresses and great white bonnets made a nice frame for the fair pic- ture therein. The proportions of the bulldy (which begun in a small way) are gigantic. To give some tangible idea of its size. let me assure you that one wing, years since, equals in size n your city. Under the shadow niflcent addition reposes good Father Bur- lando, its architect constructor.
