Maurice B. Pike and Melissa, his wife vs, Wiliam H, Lingard.—In this case, which was reported at length in the HERALD a few days ago, Judge Smith delivered the following opinion on Thufsday;— The importance of this cyse, go far as it may act as @ precedent between theatrical managers and actors, in order to bring them to a proper understanding of their respective duties, has canged me to delay ren- dering judgment unul | should have had ample time for consideration, The action 1s brought by the iain: tills against the defendant to recover the sum of $150, alleged to be due by defendant under a certain writ- ten contract, as follows:— eat RAE Ew Yori .

W. H. LINGARD. By the terms of this contract the plaintiffs were enguged for “‘atility and better business if required.” ‘Yue defendant having cast Mrs. Pike to lead in the exclamations and chorus of the operatta of “Fan- chette,” which Mrs. Pike refused to do and at the same time declined to attend the rebe io ing a8 @ reason that the character -she Was cast for was below the grade or line of business sue was engaged to do at the timo of the making of the contract, 1t must be assumed that the piaintifts had a knowledge ot the line of business, consisting of comedies, operas and operettas, then being per- formed at the Theatre Comique, and the testimony seems to justify me in coming to the conclusion that there was nothing degrading or derogatory to either personal dignity or profeasional honor in doing what the manager requested Mrs. Pike to do in the Operetia in question. ‘The testimony further shows that in small theatres such business as groups, choruses, &c., is always done by the actors without Feference to the grade of characters they are engaged to perform in. “Utility” of itself does not mean ‘responsible or res; ble utility,” (the terms being synonimous) and the words “better business, if required,’ imply that tt is discretionary with the manager to ive better business if so disposed. In this case, in my judgment, utility means and juires that the actor or actress shall do and perform in all characters re- Ba! by the manager, and which are not menial or ling. With reference to what Mrs. Pike was required to do in the operecta of ‘‘Fanchetie,” Iam of opinion that she bad no ground of complaint on the score of either personal or professional humilia- tion. The testimony shows that other actors equally ae = the prssenicn a5 08 ts, ae engaged as utility and responsible u! bees] we frequent); done and volunteered to do asa dut) ‘and out ofa spirit of kindness for the promotion of the interests of the theatres where they were engaged, what Mrs. Pike refused to do, The rules of the Theatre Comique were submitted in evidence by the defendant, but I have disregarded them, as the evidence shows they were not seen by the piatatiffs at the time or previous to the signing of the contract or nla rye 3 In hoon ee dep ee that has Pike, in refus- Ing to go on the stage an orm the part assigned her by the manager vittated the agreement, and that it remained opuonal with the defendant to termi- Date tae en; ment, which he chose to do, Judg- ment is, therefore, rendered in favor of the defend- ‘ant, with ten doliars costs.

THE FALLEN CHURCH STEEPLE AT MORRISANIA.— At a special meeting of the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal church at Morrisania, whose steeple fell, as reported, a couple of weeks ago, the propriety of repairing the building was considered and a very strong adverse sentiment developed. The entire edifice was bullt of manufactured block, and the game causes which produced the fall ot one part of it will in tame produce the fali of all parts of it. During an examination of the building three promi- nent butiders of this city round that its piers had all more or less settled, and they recommended that that part of it which is still standing be taken down, ‘Tue Cost of repairs, if they should be decided upon finally, will amount to $15,000, The cost of anew building on the foundation of the present structure ‘will be, in addition to what can be saved of the wood- work, only $25,000, The trustees have represented their condition to the public, in the hope that that charitable worthy may suppiy them with sufficient funds to run up & new church.

The Promise of the Coming Season—Grand International Contest Promised—France, England and AwevicamThe Welcome to be Extended to the Dauntless and the “ta Cowss, Feb. 16, 1869. Events of very great interest in the yachting world are in preparation just now, and the souls of yacht- men are filled with enthusiastic anticipation of the coming season. It is intended to make the occasion of the coming of the boats from the New York Ciub & memorable one in yachting annals, and to extend @ hearty welcome in ail ways, especially im the way of an opportunity for the enjoyment of rare sport. Speculation has been active for some time as to the New York Ciub, and as to the possibilities of its being represented in the Solent this year. This, in- deed, has been the topic of interest 1n all the English clubs, 80 that the adventurous spimt of your yacht- men is not without its influence upon English thought. At length this question has been decided by the letters from the owners of the Dauntless and the Sappho, and we know that these boats at least will visit England, and come prepared to test their qualities against the English clippers. What, then, shall we do to make their visit as agreeable as possible and as much @ grand occasion asthe proprieties require? This seems to be the question with our yachtmen. It seemed desirable to have the general opinion of the yachtmen in auswer to this and to combins the action of the several clubs, and with this view the Vice Commodore of the Royal Albert Club, Southsea, recently addre-sed a letter to the commodores of the Royal Yacht Clubs, mviting them to attend a meeting in London at an early day. It should be noted that the club in which this action originates ts the club of which his Royal Highness the Duke of Edioburg ts commodore, and it is perhaps not improper to sup- pose that this proposal to make the coming of the Dauntless and the Sappho something of an inter- national event was inspired by that royal sportsman. The prescnt idea is to make a general subscrip- tion in all the clubs, and even among thuse fond of aquatic sports outside of the clubs, for prizes of an unusual value, open to yachts of all nations. Such & programme, with an announcement of the prizes, will probably be put forth by a committee repre- senting all the clubs that take part in the London meeting. Another fact that lends some additional brilliancy to the possibilities of the season is that some French boata will in all likelihood take part in the sport. It is known that one or two large boats are now in course of construction in France, to be entered for the races here, and the chance that the naval archi- tecture of the three great maritime nations may thus be put to the trial in British waters will give to the season an international interest that none over has ever had. In the same spirit of hospitality in which the clubs, acting together, will proffer unusual prizes for the prowess of the visitors, it is probable that the clubs individually will throw their matches open to the strangers, and this act will be all the more hospita- ble, inasmuch as they do it in the con‘idence that many of their prizes wili stand as trophies on your side the water. THE YACHT HENRIETTA. Her Winter Cruise to the West India Islande— Incidents of the VoyageHow She and Her Company were Received at the Various Ports Visitea—Stormy Times at Sea. ‘The Henrietta, as already reported in the HERALD, arrived in this port Wednesday night. Her voyage in midwinter on a pleasure trip among the West India Islands inaugurated a new era in yachting, and created quite a furor among the veteran advo- cates of this amusement. The yacht left her dock during the afternocn of the 29th of December, with the wind dead ahead and indications of a violent storm. Anchor was cast om Jersey City for the night, when on the following day at 9:30 A. M., the weather being fine, adieus were said to friends and home by the crew. Ateleven o’clock Sandy Hook was passed with the wind fresh from the northeast and thick, heavy clouds prevailing. The first night at sea was passed pleasantly, the ship’s company arranging matters with a view to a lengthened voyage. ‘The morning of the 31st, the last day of the year, broke very pleasantly and with favoring breezes from the south-southeast, the yacht bowling merrily along, and the Highlands, hull down at nightfall, were looked upon without the least regret, Pleasant scenes and bright days beckoned the voyageurs along.
