0 YACHTING, PHE NEW YORK "¢acHT CLUB perenontcnr The Annual Regatta a ; Failure. Pwelve Boats on the Ground at Starting. A CLOUDY SKY AND A SMOOTH SEA. The Contest tobe Renewed 'To-Day. ‘There was a brilliant and a busy scene !mmediately Aside of the Narrows in the early hours of yesterday. Twelve boats of the New York Yacht Club, elght schooners, two of them the largest of their class, the Dauntless and the Surprise, and four sloops—all of ‘them as beautiful in form and feature as the poet’s @ream of the lost Peri, and fleet almost of wing a8 the Puck in the “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” who promised his master Oberon to put ‘‘a girdle round ‘the earth in forty minutes’—were entered for the annual regatta. THB COURSE, The course over which these were to test their qualities as sailers in the winds which the zephyrs and Boreas might be pleased to serve them was from the anchorage to the buoy off the Southwest Spit, passing it to the west and gouth, and thence to the lightship some seven miles further out, rounding it to the northeast and east- ward, returning over the same course, passing to ‘the west of the Nagboat stationed off the Club House at Clifton. THE HOUR AND THE START. The hour named for the commencement of the race was thirty minutes past ten o'clock, but for weasons that are perhaps not explainable the signal gun was not fired until eleven minutes past eleven. At the time named a light breeze swept over and rip- pled the surface of the water, but it was barely suf- ficient to fill the lighter canvas of the sloops, which, being nearer the Long Island side of the channel, were not bereft of it by the higher sheltering land of the opposite coast. These were presently beyond the Narrows—the White Wing, the Addie V., the Clytie and Gussie, and made the best ef their way towards the Southwest Spit, the first ebjective point in the race. The schooner Silvie, which was on the Staten Island side, hugged the shore in the eddy, and, wearing ship, was soon underway. The Dauntless, which also was on the game side of the channel, probably from her greater size, seemed to experience much difficulty in her attempt to wear ship. ‘The first effort in this direc- tion was apparently abandoned, and a tack ordered only to be again put on one side for the original manceuvre. Finully the vessels of the saguadron succeeded, by wear and tack, in getting under w and A GALLANT SiGST it was,to look at the noble coursers of the deep as they gracefully leaned over, as if to kiss the waters which hissed ina sort of champagney-like foam on each side of the cutwater as they glided along the all but smooth tide. In consequence of the great number of ships—steamers, sloops, brigs, schooners and tuge—the steamers a fleet in ‘themselves, with streamers flying and gaily draped with colors, while music was heard from every deck—that at the time Of starting were in and around the contesting yachts, it was not possible, until all were well on their way to the Southwest Spit, to tell which could be named first and which “nowhere.” From tae Narrows, far out as the eye could reach, were to be seen ships of all names and sizes and riga, wit their wings spread to catch the fitful winds which ever and anon coquettishly came and went, ony to place those interested in the progress of the centest in a state of bright expectation that was to le immediately followed by a calm which painted cespair on their faces. At noon, the squadron having git into more open waters, with a promise of & sti beeze, the sloops and schooners put them- selves in trim to receive the full benefit of it; but, ‘with a mire sultry atmosphere and cloumer horizon, ft only beame the calmer. The sea looked like a vast, illinitable sheet of burnished sliver, which rose and fell lazily as the tide passed on. AT THE SOUTHWEST SPIT. At lengn, succeeding a lull that disquieted every one, the vind freshened, and the.yachts, taking ad- vantage +f it, bowled along, beating down, how- ever, tovards the Spit, and at precisely thirteen Minates ind thirty seconds to one o'clock P. M. the White Wing, leading in splendid style and within « Discuit throw of it, passed this great point in the race, on the way to the lightship. She was followed by the Gussie, which took her wake, at nine minutes and thirty seconds to one, and she by the Addie V, one minute later, and the last pained by the Clytie at six minutes and twenty-five seconds to one. The sioops having paseed in the manner named and witha promising wind from the east and south, the schooners, which could not, for lack of motive | power, forge ahead so rapidly or mancuvre 80 | readily, came up tn the following order:—The Ram- bier at four minutes and fifty seconds of one, the Sappho at two, the Sylvie at five, the Idler at six, the Pauline at seven, the Magic at nine, the Daunt- Jess at twenty and the Fleur de Lis at twenty-eight minutes past one o'clock. AT SANDY HOOK AND BECALMED, Everything now wore the appearance of life. The Sea was ruffied, and from the rising of the clouds in the south and west there was a reasonable proba- bility of the race continuing, not with “favoring gles,” but without that stillness the atmosphere Which makes the most energetic careless, irresolute, | apathetic It was now food tide, and ae the yachts ran up | toward Sandy Hook, on'their way to the lightship, | three of the sioop i the Rambier, getting to the eastward of it, and ying them well on to the turn- ing point in the course, the wind again died out, and Borne seven or cight pelled to lle listiessly of their remaining t scraped for their pains, or ward their anch: Leaving the ere rule in philosophy ants were com- | w ty on under the general title of dependent on the winds for a k and as our Iittie boat coy the | water like a thing of life, proceeded towards the second objective point—the light | ehip. But ere we had reached to within two | miles of it we concinded that wisdom lay in our | return to (he Hook. The Rambler we found within | four miles of the a kKedged, her anchor lying in about five fathoms. Pro H apd while near the black buoy ont channel, we saw that her sailing master had p the Addie V.—the condition of the schooner which ‘we had a few minutes prey eft—secure against drift to leeward.” ing the sloop, we ran over to the White Wing, which lay within two | main miles of the lightship, but not at anchor. At three o'clock we halied her owner, and im answer to an inquiry he ured = us a that if the wind served he would be enabled in the time named by the club for sailing get around the Ship and be again at the anchorage safe and sound. Hopeful man. ‘The White Wing is a beautiful sloop, ‘and her owner ought to have had his way with the Benate of the Zephyrs, A BREEZE AT LAST. As we neared Sandy Hook, the becalmed yachts having meantime drifted down toward Staten Isiand, Jolly breeze sprung up, aud soon the flapping can- vas of the schooners bellied out, the hulls leaned gen, over, anc, like the meteors, they shot across waters, making toward the lightship, with every reasonable appearance of reacting it in due season. | But before we furt) go back a few minu dis THE SCHOONPR This splendid specimen SAPPHO, second of the larger Claes of vessels to pass the Southwest Spit, on reaching the Mook rapidly drifted to leward, As there was no probability of her ever (yesterday) succeeding in reaching the goal of her owner's hopes, he came to the concinsion | that it was mere waste of time to linger longer where fortune had cast him, and retiriog gracesaly from the contest permitted the tide anu tue puta of wind, which we have just spoken of os impe ling the other yachts weli down to the lightship, to carry him back to the Narrows, where, off the club house, he caused the anchor of his vessel to be cast tor the night. PROMIERS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS, NEW wded spectators, idly to and fro, firat to the Staten then to g teiana shores , or up or down the bay, ap} rently alive with excitement or business, and the them previous to starting by the of the itta. Looking out from bluffs which form the “Narrows!” the hulls and tall masts of inward utward bound vessels. were to be seen as if placed against an illuminated horizon that bounded the magnificent sheet of water which, stretching far to the eastward, never ceases in ite unfolding ex- panses until its ripples lave the shores of the older world of civilization; while on either shore were, in all the sweetness of the verual season, the elegant villas of wealthy citizens, who are not without an eye to the beautiful in nature as well ag in art. On the Long Island shore, even stretching as far ag the famed in song “Beach at Rockaway,” are mansions which even the most fas- tidious might consider not unworthy of their coun- tenance, while the heights of Staten Island and even on the shores are magnificent plots for cottages, spots which command everchanging and never- tring views both of land and water—and these are to be pumbered by hundreds—commencing at the most northerly side of the island and continuing to that part of it which faces the “lower bay.”” Among the more agreeably located structures is THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB HOUSE. ‘This house was purchased some little time ago by the members of the yacht club from Mr. N. H. Woif, flour merchant of this city, who bought it of a diy goods merchant, Mr. Ripley, and which he had occu- pled for some years as his residence. ‘The villa, which is placed on an elevated part of the grounds which surround it, is of wood, built, however, in the most substantial manner, in 1848. The area in front of the house, which is agreeably shaded with trees, extends to the river, where a seawall poe the tide from injuring or encroach- ing upon the land. That part of the iand immediately surrounding the villa is planted with boxwood and shrubbery, while piats of | sed closely trimined give, on a sultry day, ap air of freshness, of cooiness and comfort that the mem- bers of the club cannot but appreciate. The easterly side of the land belonging to the establishment ex- tends several hundred feet along the shore line, and can be made available by the club for many pur- poses, In the rear of the main dwelling, and within a few rods of the entrance to the grounds on Pennsyl- vania avenue, is another vottage which is at present occupied by the keeper or superintendent of the place. The club house js large, but whether it is of sufilcient dimensions to accommodate an organization which is almost daily growing stronger in men and vesseis 1s @ question We are not prepared to discuss. At pre- sent ite parlors and reception rooms, all on the iirst floor, the windows opening upon the piazzas, which surround three sides of the superstructure, are sumMcient to accommodate subscribers and their guests. Should, however, it be found necessary to make additions, a third siory or extensions in the form of additional wings might be added Without destroying the architectural harmony of the grounds and pbnildings. In every other reapect the recent purchase of the New York Yacht Club is all that the most fastidious in such matters could desire. Comisand- ing a fair reach of the shore, with depth of water suiliclent to float its boats alinost at the seawall, and being weil sheltered, it at the same time, with a fair wind, is within a few minutes run of the land- locked waters of New York and Newark bays, the reacies of the Hudson and East rivers; or turning the yacht’s head to the southward the navigator has but to pass throngh the Narrows to be upon the ocean, With its angry, plume-lossed waves, or, in er words, its long, majestic, never ceasing 8 which, 4s the mariner surmounts them, seem to fi his sou) with a feeling 60 ecstatic that he iinds himself incapable of expressing his emotions.

M. the little steamer Yankee, having on board the regatta committee and the members of the press, left the whasf at the foot of Desbrosses street and proceeded to the starting oint, leaving the Middietown, which vessel had een chartered by the memibers of the club, to bring on the guests, As ‘the committee boat steamed out into the stream Old Sol, who had hitherto bi den from view, peered through the light gr and gave a sort of haif promise to come out 1 dazzling magniiicence in honor of the occasion, while the fickle “olus maintained a provoking cence as to the share he intended to take in the proceedings, During the early | tamed their prows towards the Narrows. | in good style and making | disappeared 0) | mul @ light easterly wind prevuiied, but (owards ten o'clock ap occasional mild pul? came from the northeast, completely puzzling the knowing ones, who were from time to time called upon to say whether there was any chance of a favorable breeze springing up during the day. Arrived off Staten Island the scene was of surpassing beauty. In the foreground the giancing hails of tue yachts danced merrily upon the glittering wavelets, while their snowy sails waved gently to aud fro, us though quietly protesting agaimsi the feebleness of the wind, small boats were hurry bg from point to point, and gaily decked steamers of all sorts and sizes were ploughing the waves in every direction, The shore line was fringed with spectators, the bright green of the bere pon lawns was pleasantiy relieved by gaily dressed groups of ladies and gentiemen, and scarcely @ handsome mansion or picturesque cottage but we @ piece of bright bunting.

The Rambler had the weather- mpst position of schooners, the Sappho, Dauntless aud Idier being next in line. Owing to the fact that the private signals were not discernible it was im possibie to make out the order of the remaining \es- #els distincuy, The sloops took up position as fol- lows:—Clytie, outside; Gussie, second; White Wing, tard, and Addie V., in shove. THE START. About ten minutes past eleven the wind freshened Slightiy, and at eleven fifteen sharp the signal to start Was given by holsting the jack on the Commit- tee boat. In the twinkling of an eye the anchors were slipped and jibs hoisted, and the vessels Great was the excitement when it was observed that half the vessels were rounding to the eastof the flag- vat, as it had been laid down in sailing orders that the yachts were to round to the westward. The fol- jowing: is went to the east, and would provabiy have be uled out had the race of yesterday been decisive :— Sioops—Addie V., White Wing. Sehooners—Magic, Pauline, Rambler, Sappho. ‘The schooners which took the proper course rounded the flagboat in the following order:— Syivie, idier, Dauntiess, Fleur de Lis, all getting off close race for the Nar rows, accompauied by a large feet of excursion steamers. ROUNDING THE SOUTHWEST SPIT, Outside the Narrows the yachts had a fresh east- southeast wind, and in spite of the ebb tide made excellent headway.

THE BOSTON YACHT CLUB. |From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.) Boston, June 1s, 1868, The new rooms of the South Boston Yacht Club, completed about a week Bit were inaugurated on last evening by a social gathering, supper, songs and speeches, There was a company of about two hun- dred present, and the occasion was one of much pleasure and interest. thew THE NATIONAL GAME. Base Ball Notes. We learn by a telegraphic despatch of last evening, that agame of base ball between the Atlantics, of Brooklyn, and the Detroit Club was played yesterday at Detroit and resulted in a@ victory for the former the score standing 40 to 7. A Cleveland paper goes into ecstacies over the ad- vent of the Atlantica at that place, and some person, who is evidently well posted and a thorough admirer of the Atlantics, gives a glowing and detailed ac- count of the peculiarities and excellencies of the Atlantic nine. One of the Buffalo papers admires Pratt's elegant poses and another thinks he is not as good a pitcher as Zettlein, but “more showy and not as effective.” The reporter for the latter Journa! knows all avout Pratt. Perhaps. A game piayed at Chicago yesterday betweon the Athletics, of Philadelphia, and the Forest City Club, of Rockford, Il., was won by the former, the score standing 94 to 13, ‘The Monitors, of Waterbury, Conn., have expelicd amember from their club who played in the game between the Lowells and Waterburys as a memb of the Jatter club. ‘The Monitors publish the resol: tions of expulsion in the Waterbury paper, and give the Waterburys ‘a rap on the knuckies” for having been guilty of a violation of the rules and of conduct unbecoming an organization claiming respectability, and further declining to have anything to do wi the Waterbury club as iong as the objectionable in- dividual is retained as a member of the nige of the latter club, Prompt and proper action that.

The mystery which bas so long clouded the murder of Cornelius Holmes, tn Kingston, Mass., some weeks since, has finally been cleared up. Deacon Andrews, the accused, has made a full and detailed confession of the crime, and it has been submitted to the Grand Jury now in session in Plymouth, It 1s substantially the same as made by bimaday or two after his arrest, but wae at that time suppressed. Opinions are various as to how much credit should be given Mt, but bis friends seem to feel somewhat relieved and appear to gather a little hope, a» some circum- stances tend to corroborate the statement in some particulars, It was made in presence of his pastor, counsel and the Register of Deeds of the county, who wrote out the confession:— I, Samuel M. Andrews, of Kingston, in the county. of Plymouth, now confined in the jai! at Plymouti on suspicion of being the murderer of Cornelius Holmes, of Kingston, do hereby make a true and correct statement of my connection with and knowl- edge of the death of Cornelius Holmes On the 23d day of May, 1868, 0n my arrival at my home, at about half-past five o'clock P. M., found at my house Cornelius Holmes, who showed me a bunch of tulips, which he said he had brought me, and request me not to take them to the Orthodox church. I made him no answer, but laughed, He stayed at the house about one-half hour. We asked him to remain and take tea with us, but he declined the invitation and started to go. 1 followed him into the back room and he informed me he was going to Boston soon, and wanted to know what he should boy me for a present. I told him anything he chose; I did not know of anything in particular I wanted. He then asked me to come to his house on ge or Tuesday night, and | told him I would, hen Mon ay night came I had some work to do an could not go. ‘Tuesday afternoon | felt I could not spare the time, as I had some flour and potatoes to get at the store. Just before L left the factory of Thomas Newcomb, where I was ereplored as an overseer, I wrote a note to Cornelius Holmes stating I.could not come down that night, as I wished to do some work in my gar- den and should be there until half-past eight o'clock, and should then go to the store, and if he wished to see me for anything in particular he could come to my nue, 8 18 about what I wrote. On my way home from the factory | saw Charles Newcomb and gave him the note to take to Cornelius Holmes, and gave him two cents for doing the errand. | then went home, took my supper in a plate and sat down on the sofa and ate my supper in the presence of my family. At about seven o'clock I went out of doors and George Clark came along to buy my hens, I think he left about haif-past seven o'clock. I then went to work in the garden, I was dig- ging hills for potatoes in that part of my gar- jen lying to the left of the path that leads from my house to the back end of the lot, with my face towards the house and my back to the woods, when Cornelius Holmes appeared, having come from the back part of my lot. I at once got a box for him tositon, and placed it near an apple tree by Mr. Bradford's line. He then told me he had been up to Frank Holmes’ house that day, which he had not done before for two years, and to Walter H. Faunce’s house, to see him about doing some work. He then spoke of going to Boston. After sitting there a short time Mr. David Delano came round the east side of my hou and knowing he had come to pay me a pew tax I met him, took the money and went back to Mr. Holmes. He suid it was rather late and he would not sit there tong; he was afraid he should get cold, We also spoke of some stumps I had been etting out of his tand, which joins mine, aud | told im when I had covered my hills I would go to the place. After finishing the hills we went to the stumps, and after stopping there a few minutes he asked me if I was going to the store. j toid him I was not, as Mary T. Johnson had been down and got what! wanted. He asked nie to walk with him down to the cemetery to see some new lots, We passed out by the back end of piy lot, by Mr. Bradford’s and Mr, McLaugiilin’s lots, and by the path that leads to the stile into the ceme- tery. We looked at Mr, Thomas Prince’s and some other lots, and then returned to the stile and sat down on the steps a few minutes, and he then told me he was going to buy him in Boston two hats—a ten dollar silk and an every day hat—and asked my advice a# to buying an every day coat, and then again asked ne what he should buy me in Boston. (told im to suit himself, He then asked me to waik a littie ways with him, I told him 1 was tired, and thought we had better go home. We then started. He took me by the arm and drew me down the road on which his body was found. He stepped up on to the bank on the left hand side of the road, where his hat was found among the trees, and asked me to come in there. I told him I should pot. He again asked me to come in there. I toid him, “I shall not,’ He then came out from among the trees, looking like & madman; caught hold of me and threw me down, puiled my pants open, got on top of me and treated mie very roughly. | caught up a stone that was near my right hand and struck him with it on the side of the head. He caught me by the beard and then by the hair. 1 think we feil once or twice. 1 felt | must kill him to save myself, but I cannot remember all the circumstances, but that I alterwards threw two stones on nis head, then ran over the stile to the cemetery pond and washed the blood from my face and hands. Several times he has attempted some- thing of this sort before. Once while he was living at his father’s house, he came to my house one stormy night and stayed Sate where he under- took the same thing. He hi ven me some clothes, Iwould not wear them after the occurrence, but gave the pants to Andrew Blanchard, of Plymouth. I told of this occurrence about that time to,L. Wilson Barneg, now of Attleboro, He (Cornelius Holmes) has always been so sorry about these transac- tions that 1 had forgiven him. I then wenthome the same way I came, and when inimy garden I recollect of seeing Mr. Wormeil. J think he was going into the side door, I waited around the house until some ladies who were at the house on a committee meeting were leaving, and when they were going out of the east gaiel spoke to them. 1 cannot remember alll said to them, but remember saying | bad been planting potatoes, and one of the ladies, Mra. jones, said she should think I wouid need an umbreila and lantern, After they had gone 1 went into the house, took of my shirt and coat and put on others. ‘This was in the dining room. 1 then wen; into the kitchen and washed myself, then went and took the coat and shirt and burled them down I then went up stairs iato Mr, 1 took up one of lis compositions, but did net read it. He read to me @ poem he had staid «there until Mrs. Peck- hain, who was giving ether to my wife, was ready to go home, and then went down and went home with her. Ithen returned home, took my alarm clock up into my room and prepared to go to bed, | then look @ larger towel, saturated it with ether and inhaled the ether. I had been tn bed about an hour when my wife inquired what was the mat- ter, She thought the ether bottie stopper must be out. I put out my hand, felt of the botue, and told her it was all well, { did not sleep Sy: 1 got up at abont three o'clock, put on the pants I had on the night before, and Went out to the hen house to clean itout.

Amer the mili was started up Mr. Sproul, the baker, came to the factory and inquired of me if I knew where Cornelius wis. 1 think I asked him if he was not at home, | then put on my coat to go home. 1 arrived at the foot of the stairs Mr. Newcomb inet me and asked what was the matter. {toid him Coruelitis was missing, and he asked me whatl could do about it, and then said something like “Let the Holmses turn out and look for themseives.” I turned about and went back, took off my coat and went to work. Shorty afterwards Mr, Newcomb came up etairs and we bad some conversation, but | cannot remember what it Was, but he said he was going to Rocky Nook, and if I wished to go to the house I had better go, or something to thateffect, | went home and found my wife feeling badly, and she wanted | should go and ask Mrs. Pockliatm to come to the house.

Dank possible, THE SAENGERFEST, The First Grand ConcertArrival of the New York and Foreign Delegations, CHICAGO, June 18, 1868, The first grand concert of the Saengerfest took place this evening, that of last night being rather an in- formal opening. The enfants perdus, of the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Railroad, who were detained twenty- two hours in a@ little Ohio village named Van Wert by the washing away of a bridge, arrived to-day in this city in safety, tired and disgusted with railroad travel. There are now about seventy singing societies in this city, or about three thousand singers. The principal officers of the Fest are Claussemis, President, and Balatka, Musical Director. The pro- ceedings during to-day were not of any special inter- est with the exception of the greeting of the New York singers by the Concordia and Germania Maen- nerchor of Chicago. The city seems to have been transformed into a forest of evergreens, and German dev and Ger- man faces peep out beneath overianging arches, on which at night many odd little lamps twinkle. ‘The Americans, too, are much in- terested in the Fest, for many of clr houses are decorated in its honor. Two immense arches span North Clark street and Wabash avenue—one opposite the headquarters of the Saengerbund and the other opposite the Rink. Regarding to-night’s concert we have a word of censure to gay. First, the musical director took ® most unwarrantable liberty with the pro- nme, leaving out whatever he pleased. Mme. uumley, Who Was to sing a grand aria from the “Prophet,” “Ye Priests of Baal" and ‘Non Piuw Mesta’’ m “Cinderella,” was prevented from sing- ing on account of the refusai of the director to ac- company her with the orchestra, although that was expressly stated oe me Epceeamine Again, the or- andr chestra, one and twenty — instru. ments, was led in a_ silipshod, irresolute manner that made sad havoc with some of the members, especially in the accompani- ment of Hiller’s piano concerto played by Mr. Gum- pert, although that gentieman’s playing scarcely deserved better. But the gems of the entire concert were “On _ the Open Sea,’ chorus, solo, quartet and baritone by Mohring, sung by the New York Liederkranz, and the “Hymn An Die Tonkunst’ and the Battle Hymn, from *Rienzi,"’ sung by the New York Arions. The magnificent baritone voice of Steins, of the former society, and no less effective tenor of Candidus of the latter in their respective solas won the admi- ration of all, The Rink was crowded and, consider- ing that there were no means of ventilation in it and the thermometer was in the nineties, the effect Tay be imagined. Another grand concert to-night, THE SCHUETZENFEST. A mass meeting of the members of the Schuetzen- bund residing in this city and of delegates of all other local societies who resolved to participate in the festival was held last night at the Germania As- sembly Rooms—the President, Mr. P. F. Steffen, in the chair, and Mr. Max Morgenthau being in his place as Secretary. It was announced that a delega- tion of sharpshooters from Switzerland wil! arrive in this city on the next steamer from Hamburg, and the following gentlemen were appointed a Committee of Reception to make suitable arrangements for their entertainment :—Messrs. Ottendorfer, Gerdes, Kristle, Kuester, Katzenmeyer, Kappenberg, Simon, Sauer, Geib, Schulze, Hemmer, Klehn, Burger, ‘Vogler, Deicker, Geisreler, Schmidt, Kneesy and Senges, The silver cup from Charleston, contributed as an honorary prize by the Gerinan sharpshooters of that city, had been received and was exhibited and ac- knowledged to be a beautiful specimen of workman- ship. The New Jersey Schuetzen corps sent a dona- tion of $300 for a prize, the Milwaukee Schuetzen Society of $160 and the Salamander Schuetzen of this city @ gold watch vained at $150. Colonel Maldhoff presented a prize which on account of its associations will be more Jugnly esteemed than its money value. Itisa needie gun, given to the Colonel by the inventor, Mr. Dreyse, and declared By the latter to be the best he had ever manufactured, rom Boston a silver flower vase of the value of $160 was donated, the Newark brewers gave $200, the Williamsburg Schuetzencorps $100, the Germania Fire Insurance Company $250, Mr. Ottendorfer $200, a poor laborer of Williafsburg a double barrelled gun of the value of $40 and others prizes ot more oF fea money value, euch aa tron safes. accordeons, re- volvers, music boxes, &c. The report of the com- mittee which had been sent to Washington, and which report was printed tn full in the HERALD of last Sunday, was received with applanse and the thanks of the meeting voted to Senator Morgan and to Representatives Chanler, Brooks, Robinson and Schenck for the efficient manner !n which they alded the committee. After occupying some time with routine business the meeting adjourned. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. ‘The death of a charming actress who has succes- sively played at the Palais Royal, Vari¢tés and Gym- nase has caused deep regret. Mile. Judith Ferrezra was her name, She had heroically suffered from a tumor in her left leg for two years, and at length died after the amputation of the member, which operation was performed, however, with the greatest skill by the most eminent surgeons. This pretty and intelligent actress was beloved by ali her compan- jons. This ia perhaps the best encomium that can be paid to her memory. Another actress, but one full of life, is equally re- @retted at Vienna. That is, her departure from that capital, where she has been the object of most exag- geratea enthusiasm. On leave taking Miss Helene Magnus was not only showered with bouquets, but the audience tmplored she would crash a rose with her foot, the leaves'of which flower were afterwards fought and struggied for, and had to be distributed among the spectators. One baroness dropped down on her knees and kissed the ‘ess’ hand on her way from the stage to her dressing room, while other female devotees, finding nothing more demonstrative to (lo, took to fainting. The first stone was solemnly laid of the National theatre, at Prague, on the 16th of last month. The concourse Was immense, but peaceful, and several patriotic speeches were spoken. Mile. Schneider has been engaged by Mr. Raphaei Felix, of the St. James theatre, London, to perform in the “Belle Heléne,” “Grande Duchesse” and “Blue Beard.” Mile. Nilsson was lately invited to dine with Lady Rothschild, in London, and after acceptance an in- vitation was handed hier from the Prince of Wales for the same evening. Not wisting to forego her firat acceptance, she begged the prince to excuse her. On taking her seat at Lady it found a magnificent bracelet awaiting her. The London Keview thus speaks of the last new Philharmonic concert:—Herr Rubinsteia’s perform- ance of Beethoven's splendid concerto tn G was so good that tt ought to have been better. That he is a great player there can be no question; his execntion and mechanical powers are unbounded, combining the extremes and force of delicacy. Iie phrasing, too, is full of point and intention, and there are an earnestness and a character in his playing which give it a distinct iadividuaiity. At the same tune there is An occasional redundancy of energy and an exag- geration of emphasis that are somewhat too demon- strative, His introduced cadenzas were open to this objection, bene mere displays of elabo- rate execttion, with the sole intention appatently of exciting wonder at the mechantcal difficulties sur- mounted. The andante of the concerto, however, was played with a subdued expression and an ab- sence of self-assertion that proved Herr Rubinstein’s possession of much higher qualities thin those oe, mere manual dexterity, Mme. Grandvai gained much fame in the musical world some months past by a magnificent Messe, which was performed with great edect at St, Bu- Stache, Paris. She has here tried her ’prentice hand at other styles, and has made a mess of her operetta, “La Penitente,” at the Comique. The gleam of genius | does certainly flare out occasionally from the bushel under which it is bid, #0 that better things may be expected from the lady in the future, but the public cannot shrive her “Peuitente.’” ‘The audiences that have been attracted to the Me- tropolitan, San Francisco, since the engagement of Mrs. Bowers, and more especially since ler assump- tion of the réie of “Elizabeth,” have been the most fashionable and refined assembiages ever seen within the walls of a San Francisco theatre, Such audiences are the most eloquent tributes that could be accorded to the genius of any artist. The past season at the Itallens has been the longest that has occurred for some years. From September 2, 1867, to May 4% 1808, twenty- four operas were produced, three of which “Giovanna dArco” and “La { ii Tempiario,”” ontessina”) were new, The total number of per- formances was en out of which Mile, Past sang, during eight months, ninety times, in severmecn pieces. Such oninterrupted activity has not been paralicied since 1852-63, when Mile. Cruvelli peared seventy ttmes in six months, but she at in eight works, one—"Luisa Miller’—being a ew One.

In ia the maxke mum yield was attained in 1856, and there has bee! @ gradual decline since. The gold yield of fornia reached its culminating point in 1863, the exportation of treasure ey, fell unt 1861, when the silver of Nev and the gold Idaho began to come in, and the amount of the pips ments rapidly rose again. The last estimate of thé enpual gold yield of California was $27,000,000, 1,421,050 ounces, which 1s le’s than the lowest ye) of Victoria since 1851. The falling off in the yield, however, was amply compensated for by the Giscovery of the silver mines of Nevada in 1889, There is of course no comparison between the silver yield of the two countries, there belng no silver rev turns for Victoria but those from mine at Sb, Arnaud, at which work cannot fairly be said to hav commenced as yet. The silver mines of Nev prove more productive every year, and in 1866 they produced sliver to the vatue of 916,500,000, Up te the end of that year the total yield from the first at covery in 1859 Waa $70,725,000, of which $66,000, were from the Comstock lead, one and & million tons of ore having been en one this remarkable mine. The Tengen of the lode Kececnt opened i is a mile and three-quartera, ‘here are thirteen large mills and fourteen smaller ides on it, one os yen Bae been yieldi ,000,000 per annum. ‘The a @ yield per ton 1867 Was about £8 5s. The Cometook Toae at it greatest known depth is fifty-five feet thick, and ore under the stuter level 1s almost identical wi that of St. Arnaud, the treatment required bein; nearly the same. It has been proved beyond doul that the yield tncreases with the depth of sinking, and this fact should act as an incentive to tho prod moters of the St. Arnaud mine. In California the Salling. off in the gold returns hi been more than balanced by the later discoveries silver, and it may be that s{milar good fortune at this colony. The foliowing are gold and returns of California and Victoria, but as to the former country so little care seems to have bee! taken to preserve reliable statistics that the figures can only be said to be approximately correct :— ANNUAL GOLD RETURN OP VICTORIA.
