NEW. YORK. HERALD. TUESDAY, shape of a confused ren- and wel Boown sit tee GENERAL SHERIDAN. the oom, where he formed in front of the buiiding. THE PROCESSION, mihtary, semi-military and civic, which accompanied the demonstration, was something in point of numbers imposing, including 1 all nearly eight thousand per- sons, and bands, a dozen or more, with drums and brass im noisy tune, Of course there were traneparencies, notwithstanding the order excluding all paraphernalia of that kind; for no procession of Americans or of New Yorkers im especial was ever known to neglect an oppor- tunity to exhibit the handicraft of the transparency and motto manofacturers, particularly at night, where illu- sion work is reckoned effective in evoking enthusiasm long bottled. These features of the parade were, how- ever, limited to a small band in carriages, labelled with the following in black letters upon a white ground:— Qrereneneee ce steer COsese se tOtE ee OOLE LONE HELO NeOEEe 2 HONOR 2 TO OUR DISABLED 5 VETBRANS, POCA ORLOL SOLERO IELI OE TE IE LEDOLE LODE IDLE DE DE DD P> Though the veterans in question seemed to be any- thing but disabled, and laughed and joked in procession as if they had paver soa service at all, ahead of these aiso, and in the vision, leading, the van, were ho had some photographs taken, and on his return to | Somme halt dozen carriages laden with buinan freight and his botel, atone P, M., found s great many persons | bearing also transparencies, which answered the double waiting to see him.

The General had meanwhile kept smiling at the enthusiasm of his former follower, but at this point matters evi- dently became somewhat too complicated, and he at Inst or a determined effort succeeded in disengaging his hand from the ondearing clasp of his old comrade, The hour appointed for the General’s arrival was eight o’clock P, M, but it was after that time when he mado his appearance, accompanied by General Forsythe and Colonels Forsythe, Moore and Crosby, of his staff. At the entrance he was received by the committee ap- pointed tor that purpose, and he at once proceeded up the principal stairway to the reception room leaning on the arm of Mr, Theodore Roosevelt—his staff being es- corted by Mr. William T. Blodgett, Colonel Frank E. ‘Howe and other members of the committee—where the president, Mr. John Jay, was waiting to give bim the formal reception. Among the persons present may be mentioned Major Generals Rufus Ingalls and Daniel E. Butterfleld and H. E. Gillmore; Brovet Brigadier Gen- erals Wallen, Sawtelle, Brown, Heintzelman, Slemmer ‘and Vosberg; Captain John L. Worden, of Monitor fame; ex-Mayor Opdyke, Mr. Peter Cooper and all the Principal members of the club. THE WELCOMING ADDRESS BY MR, JAY, On the arrival of the General at the reception room Mr. Jay spoke as follow: GsNTLEMEN oF THe Cius—To-nicht we add another name to the roll of heroes and statesmen whom, in this Union square, in the name of the loyal citizens of New ‘York, we have welcomed to our metropolis.

On this occasion the shouting nap- pened to be appropriate enough, and, therefore, there can be no finding of fault with it, There was plentiful elbowing, however, as well as applauding, and plenti- ful undertone comment and humorous remark— a New Yorker is always humorous under diMiculties—besprinkling with eddies and whirls of witticism the uppercurrent of general din.

Trotting at the Fashion Course—A Very Un- propitiess Day—Clovely Contested Heatn— Extraerdinary Speed Under the Circum- stances. ‘The speculation and interest in relation to the ‘‘star’’ trotters of the States and their meeting yesterday on the Fashion Course extended throughout the country, sud although the day was of the most unpleasant and unpro- pitious character, telling greatly against the race by the stiff, chilling breezo blowing, which sent whirlpools of dust along the track and almost blinding those surround. ing it, & grenger. coterie of gontlomen patronizers of the turf was never seen under like auspices, Larger and more entbusiastic crowds hi oftiimes wended their way to the trotting turf, but never has there been seen such a choice gathering of celebrities as was s8en on the Fashion Course yesterday, Conspi- cuous amoung the five thousand assembled to do honor to the field were Robert Bonner, Commodore Vander- bilt, Genoral Pleasanton, Colonel Butler, Messrs. Vanetté and Anderson, of Chicago, Mr, Turnbull, of New York, apd Squire Bingham, former owner of Mountain Boy, gentlemen who seldom honor the racecourse with their presence, excepting under very peculiar circumstances. ‘The track was ia fair condition, but the wind rendered the day very unpleasant, as huge clouds of dust, driven along with fearful iimpetuosity, at times enveloped both horse and rider. Yet the evenness of the trot, the time made, and the magniticent conduct. ad celerity of comparatively a ‘‘green colt,’ in comparison with experienced and aged trotters, whose Dames are synonymous with vicwwry, made the day celebrated in the annals of the turf. Among the [goed throng of witnesses were man} iadies, who arrived carriages drawn by four horses, attended by aristo- ng and nicely clothed grooms, all adding briiliancy to the grand race.

Ristori last night personated for the first time hero the part of Myrrba in Alfieri’s tragedy of that name, Her success was complete with a large and critical audience, and success in such a part is the highest triumph of histrionio art—art that desires but litte assistance from the ordinary accessories of the theatre, With a play like this the artist has even no starting point in the sympathies of the audience. The subject is one foreign to common thought—beyond the rangd of roftAnce and color—severe, sombre, terrible thought, of @ class that the Mughing utilitarian world of to-day rather escapes from than indulges. It was in the reiigion of antiquity, under nearly every sun, that the child was pumished for the parents’ sim, This cruel Botion the Jews carried with them out of Egypt with their stolen finery, It formed their Edipus, and it even livea in the beautiful little romance of Apuleius, This ta the staple of the tragedy of Myrrua, The impiety ofa mother offends the goddess of love, and she inspires in the child a horrible passion—a passion that is always foreing itself upon her—thought is more than death— that makes her approaching puptials a horror to her fancy, and leaves her without even the consola- tion’ of paternal fondness. It is obvious that this is mot an easy theme through whieh to make the appeal of art to public taste; yet ali the diMculty only makes the triumph of the artist the more | lds Ristori’s interpretation of the inexpressible orrer that fills the whole nature of the gentle, puro woman is less a study than a grand imagination—an imagination which is, moreover, altogether the property of the actress; for Aifleri, with all his strength, halts in the expression of his subject, ‘The magnificent scene of the fourth act, in which the mood ranges from almost mute horror to the wildest frenzy, carriod the audience by storm, and alone stamped this presentment as « great success, The other parts in the play—especially that of Pereus—were commendably filied; apd the mounting was in classical keeping with the whole, Broadway Theatre. Mr. Forrest performed at this theatre last night in one Of bis best réles to awell filled house. The piay was the Gladiator, and of course Mr. Forrest took the charac. ter of Spartacus. To say the part was well done would be only to repeat what has been said over and over again. It is just such a character as suits Mr. Forrest's style of acting, temper of mind and robust person, He looks like a gladiator, and bis deep-toned voice and vig- orous declamation suit well. No actor understands an American audience better, and in a play like this, ér William Tell, where there are fine bursts of patriotism and love of liberty, he knows how to bring down tho house. Tho habitués of the Broadway Theatre are Just the class to respond earnestly’ to sentiments expressing love of freedom, and they did not fail to applaud Mr. Forrest heartily. The play, the actor and the audience were well suited to each other and were in full sympathy, Still, with all the good acting, it was the same win Forrest; there was the same man- nerism, style, intonation, violentand rapid declamation, hissing sound of the voice at times, and, in fact, the same imperfeotions, with many of the highest dramatic qualities, which we saw in Mr, Forrest years ago, He is finished actor in the sense of there being no change in him, As to the regular company we cannot say much for them, They were all much more like Ame- Ticans taan Romans or Thracians, {hey are respectable stock actors, nothing more. Mr. Forrest is tne great attraction, and those who have not seen him as spar- tacus, the Giadiator, have yet to witness one of the very best representations of the Amorican stage. New York Theatre. Under the Gaslight still meets with success, A crowded house, assembled to witness it, last nizht gave repeated rounds of applause, It is a sensation play well calculated to draw out the feelings at certain points in the plot, but asa conception of high dramatic com- position it is rather inferior, Nor are the characters well sustained in all the parts. This is a fauit, however, which exists in nearly all our theatres; a fault, too, which often detracts from the real merit of the other ‘actors and does injustice vo the play itseif, The part of Laura Cortlandt, by Mise Kose Eytinge, was a fine piece ‘of acting throughout, bat we can say litue for that of Ray Trafford, by Mr. A. H. Davenport. His acting wanted life. He faiiod to enter into the spirit of the character he represen Mr, Mortimer, too, although pleasing in his address, and, in many points, representing a frank ‘and careless soldicr, overdid bis rél:, and failed to precise the demands made upon him the rile which he assumed. The character of - blossom, Miss. Fannie Young, was very weH sustained throughout, and gave infinite amuse- ment Byke, by Mr, Edwards, and Judas, by Mrs. ‘Wright, were aiso admirably done. For the balance we can say but littic, Taking the play asa whole it leaves rather a favorable im ion.

The place of the legitimate drama at this house is filled just now by a light mixture of performance in the Mine of comic drama and broad burlesque.

In carly history we read that tho daughters of men were so beautiful that they attracted the attention and won the affections of the sons of God.

What ‘we do know is that the gods were not blind in those days, and that strange things were done in their name, This, too, wo will venture to say—that if in the days when the gods were famous, the daughters of men were able to present themselves fa such st/ractive forms a3 Tun « very large Faast-like deviltry, such protty deviltry, such beautiful, attractive, luscious, insinuating deviltry that if we did sumty we avouldaimontTe6hdiposed to go, In we We havi hig: tor the Bowery Theatre.

We lay before our readers a condensed statement of the proposition of the banking firm of Maui & Co., of Rio Janeiro, to undertake the extinguishment of the Brazilian national debt within sixty yeara, which has been adopted by the Finance Committee of the Chamber of Doputies and reported as a bill to the House.
