Yesterday’s play be- tween the Mutuals and Stars was presided over by an impartial but hasty umpire, whose decisions in. some casee were given too quickly Lo be correct, and, therefore, not satisfactory. But that to this can be altributed the result of ue game no sane person seeing it would afirin, it being very well known that the Mutual and Star clubs were to play yesterday a very large gath- ering of the lovers of fine play was on hand, not, it may be sald, to behold the defeat of the Mutuals, bat to see how strong the Stars would make the battle. ‘But what astonishment, disappointmen, and yet ad- miration succeeded, Without commenting further than to praise the pitching of Cummings and to de- clare the Mutuals at once unfortunate, a detailed report of the game will be given:— First Inning.—Rogers fouled out; Jewell was put out by Nelson's throw to first; Dollard escaped by an overthrow of Nelson’s to first, and was brought home by Cline, whom Cummings leit; one run, Mutual— Hatfleld sent a liner down the centre field, making third base thereon, aud came inon the hit of E.

The Department of Parks in Special Session— The Work to be Pushed in the Park and om the Boulevards—Communications and Resolutions to and by the Board, In compliance with a call issued by President Sweeny, the Commissioners of the Department of Parks assembied yesterday afternoon at tho office corner of Nassau and Cedar streets, There were Present at the time of meeting Commissioners Peter B, Sweeny (President), Henry Hilton, Andrew H. Green and Thomas ©, Fields. The ordinary business routine having been disposed of, the Board took up @ batch of communications which had been received since the previous meeting, Among these was one wD relation to AMERICAN ABORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL ART, which was intended to impress on the Board the beauty and uniqueness of the specimens of such art, and the propriety of introducing certain types thereof inthe Park, The communication was laid on the table for future consideration, A communication Was received relative to the condition of THE BOULEVARD WORK AT 103D STREET, and requesting that said street be put in good trav- eling condition from Bloomingdale road to ppreae led by the Boat ply w.th the request contained in the communica- Hon so far as it 18 practicable. A further communi. cation relative to erecting a MONUMENT TO DANIEL O0’CONNBLL m the Park was received and reterred to the ‘Treasurer, It was understood that the money for the purchase of the monument nad been subscribed and there can be no doubt thet the monument of the great Irish commoner will haye a place reserved for it in the great metropolitan veau'y spot. A com- munication, desiring to dispose of a COLLECTION OF CORAL ‘was received, and laid on the table for future con- sideration, Of conrse the collection is valuable, or the owner or owners thereof would not be auxious to aispose of it forthe benefit of actence gnd the amus-inent of visitors to the Park, Commissioner HiLTon, of the Executive Com- mittee, in conformity with a resolution adopied at the meeting on Tuesday last, reported u detatied in- ventory of the PROPERTY UNDER THR CONTROL OF THE DEPART- ENT, and in possession of its employés on the Park, tie Boulevard and Sixth avenuc, The report was lengthy ond exhaustive and was favorably received by the Board. A resolution was adopted authorizing the Treas- urer to pay, from time to tlie, the SALARIES OF PERSONS EMPLOYED by the department; amounts estumated for work aone and materials furnished when due according to any contracts which may hereafter be made by the department or heretofore made by the late Board of Comsnissioners of the Park; bills for ireigit oa merchandise or animals sent tothe department, and such bills and charges as may be from time to time oe paid by tho deparument, In relation to ne PARK IMPROVEMENT FU) the following resolution was adopted Resolved, That the Board of the Department of Public Parks deem the creation and tasue of the furtuer amount of $3466,685 68 of the public fund or stock denominated “The Centra! Park Improvement Fund," authorized by an act en- titied “An act for the improvement, majntenn: and government of the Central Park in t York and to provide adiitional means therefor, ruary 3, 10 bald act, and'that the Na and they are hereby r amount in accordance with the provi OLHER RESOLUTIONS were adopted as follows:—D.recting thatthe work on the Boulevard, west of the Park, be promoted with such additional efficiency as to furnish @ con- venient roadway from Fitiy-uinth street to 108th street, In connection with the Bloomingdale road from Eighty-seventh street to 106th street, and re- Questing the engineer in charge of the work to re- port what measures were necessary to carry the resolution into elfect.

The Department of Parks and the New Post Office Authorities. It is believed that a compromise will be effected between the Department of Public Parks aud the parties having charge of the butlding of the new Post Office as to the latver making encroachments upon the Park grounds. Since serving the wotifica- f.on on Mr. Hulburd, the superintendcut, Greectin: him to withdraw hts offices and building it: passed Feb- to carry out the object of » Alderme: nd Commonalty be f wad act, niateriat trom the Park domam no farther action has been taken in the case. Mr. Huiburd hopes, upon an explanaton being made of the necessity of these encroachments belng al- lowed, that the requisite permission will be given, While the Park Commissioners deserve ry enco- Miu and encouragement for the vigilance they are showing in putting the parks, including the City Hall Park, in better condition than they are, it is hardly to be believed that in the matter of helping forward to as speedy completion as possible the new Post OMlee, so much needed by the city, they will place any obstacles in the way, but consult the pub- lc wishes and requirements, as far as they can, equaily in both cases, COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRATIO! The new Board of Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday afternoon, pursuant to adjournment, at Castle Garden, with the Presideut, Mr. Richard O'Gorman, in the chair. There were present, besides the President, Commissioners Nicholson, Beil, Hart, Lynen, Barr, Wallach and Mayor Hal, But little time was lost in getting to work after the secretary and general agent, Mr. Casserly, had read the min- utes of the previous mecting. The first business in- troduced was mi relation to the RESIGNATION OF COMMISSIONERS. Chauncey M. Depew and Edward F. Smith, The resignations were then read, and on, motton, the Board proceeded to an election to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Messrs Depew and Smith, The balloting showed eight votes for James W. Heusted in place of Chauncey M, Depew, seven votes for Alexander Frear, and one for C. Godfrey Gunther in the place of Edward F. Smith, Messra, Heusted and Freargvere then deciared duly elected as members of the Board. THR NEW COMMISSIONERS thus elected were members of the last Legislature and were distinguished for their activity and inde- fatigability in any work they unilertook. Mr. Heus- ted is 4 republican, and irom his plysique and his oratorical disp.ays Was duobed the “Bald Eagle’ of the House, while Mr. Frear, on account of having been the introducer of the new Charter, and !rom the tough battles he made, obtained the sowbriquet of “Oharter Oak.” ‘These gentiemen will bring their characteristic activity to work in providing for the care of the emigrants, and will, no doubt, be found eficient adjuncts to the Board. A resolution was adopted to reduce the STANDING COMMITTERS to three members, merging the Purchasing Com- mitiee in the Ward’s Island Committee, the Railway Agency and Labor Exchange Committee in the Castle Garden Commitice, the Auditing Committee in the Finauce Committee; that the Castle Garden Committee be composed of seven members, the Ward’s Isiand Committee of seven members and the Finance Committee of five members, The President shortiy after announced the following as the stand- ing committees:— : Castle Garden Committee—Commissioners Hart, Lynch, Frear, Curtis, Watlach, Barr and Mayor Hall. Wi 3 Island Commitree—Commissioners Bell, Bissinzer, Frear, Lynch, Heusted and Nicholson, Pinauce Commitiee—Commissioners Nicholson, Cartis, Bissinger, Hart and Mayor Kaibfleiscn. Bylaws Committee—Commissioners Hart, Heusted and Frear. A communication was presented from the Board of American ISRARLITES, in relation to the Israelite refugees from Russia, ask- ng that @ separate kitchen be allowed them on Ward's Isiand, in order that they mignt have ther court style of cooking done by themseives, the rd by whom the request was made agree- ing to beara share of the extra expense incurred by such arrangement. Commissioner — Hart stated fi ie had visited Ward's Istana, had seen those fngees who are there at refagee: present and found that many of them were necessa- by very destitute, “rom the communication referred to it appears that some 500 or more are expected to arrive here very shortly. Commissioner Hart, therefore, moved that the Superintendent of Ward’s Island be directed to lave the necessary pro- vision made for the accommodation of the people relerred to. The resolution was seconded by Co missiouer Nicholson, and was adopted by the Board. ‘The newly invented disease, known as THE RELAPSING FEVER, it appears, does not escape emigrants any more than others; and, as the Commissioners of Oharities and Correction have made arrangements for the care of such patients, a resulution was adopted i es | the last mentioned commissioners to receive anc acimit to theit hospital on Hart's Isiand emigrants suffering from the relapsing fever, and to charge the expen-¢ on the Coumisstoners of Binigration. It was decided to ameni the bye-luws o as to direct that the mveings shal be held on Wednesdays at Custic Garden aud Ward's Island alternately, Afer disposing of a quantity of routine business,the Board adjourned, STATISTICS OF EMIGRATION pike for the Board, show that the wholo num- rot emigranis arriving af this port during the month of April was 28,014, while during April, 1869, the of em: (6 DUM beret 27,585, showln an ivcrease in Aprit Cie year of 42% The w tal number erring at this port from wary 1 to April 3) is 60,681, while dui same period in 1869 it was 61,283, show- Inga eae of 602.

The multiplicity of matters on which the Mayor is consulted is really marvellous, and it 1s @ matter of wonderment that Mayor Hall ives through this annoyance, His ability to survive the pressure may be accounted for in @ great measure, however, by the fact that ne i. a thorough newspaper man, and is, therefore, supposed bo be postea on every imaginable subject, In relation to the appomting power assigned the Mayor under the laws creiting THE NEW CITY REGIME, in regard to a squad of police for soins the cor- oration ortinances aud for the four coutihissioners superiniend the compietion of the new Court House, Mayor Wall has as yet done nothing. He will not select the twenty police officers to form the ordl- nance squad unul afier the reorganization of the Common Council, nor will he name the Court House Commissioners untill the Board of Supervisors + hall cease to exist as at present. So the police app ments lie over unul alter the Ist proximo, and Court House commission appointments until after July 1.

National Academy EAST ROOM. 228, Huldy, E. W. Perry, N. 4.--For the sake of the sweetness in expression of this figure one seems almost disposea to pardon the presentation of another picture employing the red fire light, as tricky a8 it is hackneyed, which is saying a great deal. The figure of the country giri, however, 1s excellent, and very far above mediocrity for the care and study evident throughout. It belongs to a class of works which, as a rule, from our own artists, are conspicuous for the luck of either the One or the other, but It gives very fair promise, The face is woo refined for the young woman who, a few minutes later, “gin her cheer a jerk,” amt the man’s face haif yisible through the window is re- markable for e™ pressing nothing at all. It is, though, a very + od picture of a pretty girl paring apples, thougit.r searcely seems equa tu the expre ston of the “Huldy” of Mr, Lowell's exceilenc litt: poem. 281. The Rird’s Nest—Ts a strange combination of poetic sentiment and physical error. It seems like trespassing on the domain of pure imagination, to which such subjects generally belong tll they are re> moved to the region of very practical science. 233, The Jnvalid,—This is a female figure, as Mrs, Gamp would say, “gashly pale,” having thrown on the floor a letter and greenback, and suffering s+ verely, though patiently, from having had a basket of fruit inconsiderately placed on her chest, When one looks at this and a comfortable breakfast on a tray at the foot of the bed it would seem to be no matter of surprise that she is an invalid, and after turther req. rding the table by the window, overioaded with glasses and plials of medicine, and a large bouquet, it ought to be a subject of congratulation to any one interested, that the unfortunate victim of over atten- tion and aliopathy is alive at all. 237, Study Srom Nature, Shelburne, N. H.W. W. Witherspoon, A.—This is @ very excellent study; indeed one of the best in the Academy, The artist seems to have passed the truth of nature, I is only to be regretted that he was somewhat too lavish with @ certain metallic effect in places where 1t was not needed, 239. Manners and Customs at the Seaside.—Theso, it must be hoped, are both somewhat exceptional at our better seaside resorts and somewhat in advance of our me, which does not allow bold, bare-legged women, however cieverly drawn, to stalk about the beach with perfect fiapunity. Is this to be the con- seqnence of the bailet and burlesque recently so popular? U4. The Little Stranger, by 8. J. Quy, N. A.—This graceful and homelike picture, which we have already noticed, loses none of its charm by being repeatedly secu. The Dogana, Venice, by C. P. Cranck, N. A.— The water and distance in this pieture are both excellont, bul there is a great carelessness of detail, which is dificult to imagine in one having stutiel on the spot. One of the gondolas, if inde ig meaut for one ata, would certatniy not bi Oe mizaule such two miles away irom Venice. Tue water and the Dogana willdo mueh, but they can- not transform awkward scows into gondolas, 259. Reftection.—The most obyious remark on this picture is, that the young woman has chosen a most singularly inopportune time aud pose tor anything like reflection, uiless it be on her chances in the event of her losing her balance on the edge of the boat and falling into the water, which would all bui inevitable in her present position. Ti and drapery are excellent, but the affectation of the fatal to the whole work, he Golden Hour, by W. J. Hennessy, N. A. This is another of this artist’s works where the feel- ing and sentiment of the drawing ts only oxcelied by the want of it in the color, 271. Anticipation, by Charles J, Taylor,—This is a wonderfully graceful little figure of a boy fishing vit @ bridge with the patient assurance of ultimate suc- cess. There is a great deal of feeling inthe figure, which is easy, Well drawn and truthful. The color 1g less caretul, but not without merit, 285. Lace Maggiore.—Perhaps one of the first re+ quisites in @ representation of this Kind is fecling, which here sees totally wanting. There is no en- thostasm. The scene has none of the warmtu, the dreamy tenderness of one on the Italian Jakes, which are always so full of both. There ts none of the Inspiration of the piace, The picture might just as Weill, Indeed much better, have been ove on & quiet, prosaic river, with, perhaps, a steatnboat or two ou it, or a railway and train on the shore. SOUTH ROOM, 315. The Narrows from Siaien Island, by J. F. Crossey, N. A.—The utter amazement one teels at seeing & painter who really knows how, and does produce works of merit, Present anything of this ind to the public with his name atiacned, could only be equalled by jeap sed at knowing that any- body would ever be willing to own it, and nang it m a gallery, Merit the picture undoubtedly has, but the utter, hopeless wane of anything like senti- ment in it seems to swallow ap every other consid- eration. Perhaps it was intended to adorn the new station of the Hudson River Railroad, with Mr. Vanderbilt's bronze. That would paillate, if not ex- cuse, 328. The Rear Guard at White Oak Swamp, by Tuiten Scot.—In Many respects this picture is most satisiactory, For the | Rosen part the figures are well drawnand aduurabiy grouped, Many of them are very feeling and (ullof character aud life, Each and all seem Impressed with the spirit of awe of the dreadful occasion. The artist has managed, too, with considerable skill, to awaken the sympathy of the behvider so that he seems to feel with thein, Oue 1s almost tempted to hoid one’s breath tn the aw.ul suspense of that dread moment, The suspense, how- ever, 18 too protracted.
