What course these two nations may take would pro- bably render the action of the Sultan very easy, unless Russia should come in as a third party in the controversy, in which event the whole phase of things would be changed, and the Eastern question would attain a new shape—perhaps that of a general European war. Such a result is not improbable; but as faras we can see now the Turkish ques- tion wears a very cloudy and embarrassing aspect. Opera in the United States—Muste for the People. Some of the London and Paris journals which pay particular attention to the opera nd musical art generally have been dis- oussing the question of establishing opera for the people. has been entertaloed in Paris. The price of adunission, it is said, should range from half a franc upwards, or, in other words, the price should be so low that the cost to the mass of the people should not be higher than at the ordinary theatres. But considering the ex- pense of operatic entertainments, including the high salarles to first class artists, it is sug- gested that such an undertaking would not pay unless the buildings be large enough to ‘coommodate many thousands of spectators. Hence it is proposed to have much larger opera houses. A London journal argues that in a properly constructed theatre operas night de performed with good effect before audiences as large as those which were brought together at the Orystal Palace by the Handel festival performances. It says that excellent opportu- nities were afforded in tho Crystal Palace of the range and effect of the singing voice over the voice of orators; for, while the speakers at. the meeting in favor of the Irish Church ould scarcely make themselves heard at thirty yards distance, the voices of the great singers at the Handel festival, especially the sopranos and tenors, were heard throughout the length and breadth of the vast enclosure, These projects, suggestions and argomenta in favor of establishing opera for the people in the great capitals of Europe are worthy of consideration by the people and enterprising capitalists of Now York and our other large cities. Why cannot something be done to give the people here cheap music, and, above all; cheap opera, which combines with ® high and an attractive style of music ‘the most agreeable theatrical representations ? In orchestral or instrumental mnsic Mr. Theo- Gore Thomas has solved the problem. At his Central Park Garden concerts the price of ad- mission is only thirty-five cents, and there are large audiences nightly of three or four thou- wand people—of people, too, from the higher classes of society as well as from the poorer class. They are truly, in the broadest sense, ‘the people's concerts. Many predicted that he would fail when he first commenced this social revolution, for such it may be ealled ; but he has succeeded and is making money. Cannot the same be done with opera? We believe it could, if large opera houses were erected, with @ proper regard to acoustics, that would hold many thousands of people, The price of ad- mission could then be made low and the masses of the pedple could afford to enjoy the music, while at the same time the best artists could be well paid. And what artist is there who would not rather sing to thousands, with all the fire and impulse that would be in- spired by their plaudits, than to slim houses of cold dilettanti and affected aristocracy? It has been shown that the kid-gloved class alone Oannot support opera in this country. It is only successful when some extraordinary star brings out the people and causes them to squeeze out a portion of their limited incomes for the occasion. Of all countries in the world this is best suited for just such a people’s opera as is spoken of in Paris and London, and where it has the best chance of success, We have an example on a small scale in the suc- cons of the operas given by Brignoli and his artists at Long Branch. There is no theatre at that place, and the performance was in the large dining room of the Continental Hotel; but the place was crowded, simply because there was no form or exclusiveness and be- cause everybody could attend without much cost. That is as it should be in New York and everywhere else in this country. But what are we todo for opera this winter ? The opéra bouffeis dead, and did not diea day too soon, Apart from a few sparkling ‘and popular airs it was the merest trash, and demoralizing. We are to have the English opera, with Parepa; but that is always heavy and unattractive. The fine voice of Parepa can hardly save it from the fate of all preced- ing experiments. Nature never intended that opera should be in English. We have some elements here for Italian opera, and others could be had by proper management, Why does not the “‘silver voiced” Brignoli make up a respectable company for New York the com- ing season? He is a host in himself, and has several good artists with him. It is said he is going to California this fall. with a good com- pany. The people of that State, with all their gold and lavish expenditure of money, cannot support such @ company long, He should prepare the way for returning to New York early in the winter, and in addition to the artists he has should get others, either here or from Europe. This seems to be the only chance we have of Italian opera this winter, If he will goto work earnestly and show more regard for the opinion and caprices of the public he can succeed; or if Brignoli, Parepa, Kellogg and some other stars would unite and give a popular as well a8 fashionable turn to opera they would be well rewarded. But for the future, as we said before, the opera, to be a living, permanent institution in this republican country, must be brought within the reach of the people gene- rally. Let us hope some enterprising capi- talists and artists will take this view of the Matter and supply-what the public want, It appears that such a project, condition of the health or the Emperor Napoleon, subject by different parties and individuals while jobbers, are being circulated. 0, the Emperor is really such as to create anxiety on the part of the public.

It Will be @ radiation of the university; another page in that book of many stories in whtch Oxford appears as the flower of the nation, and the nation has the stock bearing that conspmmate flower. Nor will Harvard have less reason to commemorate the gallantry of ber sons. Harvard too is an epitome of national history. The English traveller must be strangely compounded, especially if he acknow- ledges any obligation to a univeraity in his own land, who ts not interested in this Cambridge of the New World. Tt 18 nearly 250 years since the settlers in New Eng- land founded the uaiversity on the banks of tne Oharies river in grateful imitation of that other on the banks of the Cam, where their spiritual leaders Teovived thetr early training. It is 290 yeans.eince the pious Harvard, himself'an old Osmbetige man, Gave it the endowment which nas hie name. Ever since Harvard bas the alma mater of New England; ite brick pile oftiving rooms, {te substantial granite Itbrary, ite old halts, adorned ‘With the portraits of successive Presidents and other distinguished members, its chapel oppressive with Severe divinity, all encompassed about with um- brageous elms and spreading limes, are veritable Tefreshments to the European visitor, for they speak Of a past wedded to the present tm a country where all else seems to have been newly created by tire men of to-day. They exercise, too, @ corresponding influence over New Englanders themselves, Harvard has educated Boston, just as Boston has educated the United States. The best culture of the nation is there. Nor was it other than 6 natural impulse of the training of this achool that it should challenge our own Oxford to an issue, Which, though of merely physical training, had the crowning merit of admitting an exact comparison between the competitors. The Harvard men are of the best families of Massachusetts, although one of them nominally hetis from the Sandwich Islands. It ts understood that this is due to an accidental migra- tion of his father but three or four years since, and, like bis comrades, his birth, his education and his descent, connect him with Plymouth Rock. Our men appeared in the ordinary Jerseys, with short sleeves reaching about a third of the way from the shoulder to the gibow, and wore the straw hats famillar to us all. The Harvard men fad white scarfs around their foreheads, with no covering for the crown of their heads, and their Jerseys were cut away above the shoulder so as to allow the freest action of their arms. After a little delay a start is made, the Harvard crew have jumped away and are putting forth wonders of power. The superficial view is entirely in thetr favor. The Americans inthe two steamers are wildly excited and give a peculiar cheer, ah! ah! ah! The Oxford boat looks torpid by comparison, but it compels admiration by the: perfect evenness of its stroke, the tron and steel like and the almost superhuman regularity of its movement. The energy of the Harvard men was magnificent, but there was a sort of flutter even at the outset. Never- theless tney got ahead and they were doing five or six strokes more to the minute when they cleared their antagonisis. If what is were a sure presage of what will be, their victory was certain, but time was the essence of the struggle. Take & young fellow of twenty-five, such as many of us have known and may know, his pulse knows no change, his thews are as of brass, he looks out upon the world with eyes that have no shadows, he might live to be a hundred, but it 18 @ million to one that he does not. Time will beat him. It was so with Harvard at the moment of their greatest hopes, The experts shook their heads. It ‘was still 10 to 1, Not a third of the course had been rowed when Oxford began to overhaul their antago- nists, and going under Hammersmith bridge the Oxford bow was in a line with Harvard No. 3, ‘The Harvard stroke oar evidently knew as well a8 everyboay else the conditions of the game, and seeing that everything depended upon keeping his crew in their position of advantage he made a Gesperate spurt, but the effort, though gallantly seconded, made the essential unsteadiness of his crew only more apparent. Once more, however, “ghiah! ah?’ burst from American, lips, but the dreaded enemy crept on, got fairly abreast, and forged ahead. » Something has been said of a mistake on the part of the Harvard coxswain, and had it happened nothing could be more pardonable, seeing that cox- swains are absolute novelties in Harvard expe- rignoe; Dut we are disposed to reject the suggestion ag unfounded. Certain, at all events, it is that there was nothing to compensate any error of this kind, for tile little Oxford coxswain was as fault- less as his men. Meanwhile the Oxford boat got two, three, ap- parently four lengths ahead, The Harvard crew stuok gallantly to their work, although they were “@ abroad” as regards time, when an absolute novelty was seen, to the astonishment of those who were following. The Harvard ooxswain was seen to drop his right hand into the water and splash tt im the faces of his men. This manceuvre was repeated two or three times, and {t ts not too much to say that something like a spasm of horror thrilled the breasts of the ortho- dox at the sight. The predominating thought, it must be said, was not so mach astonisument at the novelty as at the confession it applied that the race was hopeless, The winning post was in sight, Oxford was tliee lengths ahead, and, ‘“parring accidents,’ nothing could save the évent. A man rowing @ lady in a gig Aid, indeed, at the last moment, pull across the Ox- ford boat, and this deprived Oxford of at least two lengths—but the victory remained unaffected in character and circumstances. The match and its issue afford no inapt illustra- tion of the difference between the two nations. The Englishmen were heavier and tho English coxswain was lighter than the Harvard coxswain, but it must remain entirely doubtful on which side the mere balance of strength inclined. As for gal- Jantry, energy and pluck, Harvard showed an ex- ample we may humbly hope to equal, but which we cannot exceed, The victory was a victory of edu- cation, and here the advantage was all on our side, We live, not in rowing only, @ closer life. The competition is sharper; the lessons of the past are more searching and more exact, The margin of our ilves ts so narrow that every possible economy of strength has been utilized during successive generations, Rowing ts with us a selence. It has been developed bit by bit by men who have made it thelr business and {knew that on the contests before - them the smallest wrinkle told. Thus it happened on Friday that the Oxford crew knew precisely tho limits of continuous effort. They knew where to abstain as well as where to abound. The advantage is, however, perhaps not without its drawbacks, for it may be that nations, like men, should have some reserve of natural endowment which should be, as it were, not brought Into tillage a0 as to be better able to meet the days when the progress of others shall have equalized the benefits of training.

HORSE NOTES. Another race track has been heard’ from. The Fashion Course was accurately measured on Satur- day last, and it was found to be a mile‘and twenty- seven inohes three feet from the pole, This proves that all the Long Island tracks are of the full meas- urement, and are the only places for gentlemen owning fast horses to put them to the test, What- ever time they make on Long Island they will be sure to show when trotting anywhere else, Dexter has made another wonderful tret. Om Friday Mr. Bonner took him over to the Fashion Course, where, meeting John Murphy, the latter ex- pressed @ wish to put a saddle on Dexter tu see how he Was moving this summer. Tne track, however, had been ploughed up to prepare it for the running” meeting, and it was not in order for high speed, Mr. Bonner, notwithsranding, told Murphy to pus the saddle on and mount, After a littie warming up Murphy started the horse for a mile trial, and the gallant Dexter trotted a mile m 2:17%, to the sur- prise of all present. Taking the condition of the track tnto consideration, this may be considered Dexter's greatest performance. The great four mile race to take place on Monday next at the Fastion Course ts now the great topic of speculation. There will be five starters, viz.:—Fiora Mclvor (who is the favorite), Aldebaran, Biddy Malone, Privateer and Climax. Each horse carries 100 pounds, and It 1s generally believed that they can. all go the journey with that weight up. A goed race, no doubt, will take place.
