The Money Still in the Seales=Mrs. Burke Confident of Having Her Rights Estab. lished—Further Adjournment. Great interest Is felt in the decision of Surrogate Hutchings in this mysterious case. The detatls of the strange affair have already fully appeared, so far at least as relates to the death of the aged Captain Alexander. But how his fortune went is yet undetermined. Mrs. Burke, his rather prepossessing daughter, contends that he died worth $60,000; that she was his helress, but that she was deprived of her lawful property by some foul play as yet undis- covered. Tne Gardners, with whom the old gentleman = itved, it wil be remembered, were arrested on a charge of having caused his death by poison. The body was exhumed but no traces of poison having been discovered and the accused were released irom custody. It is alleged that at the time of his death he was worth a considerable amount of bonds, the exact amount of which, however, has net appeared. Mrs. Burke, as his administratrix, claims before the Surrogate that she ts legally entitied to the property, and the testi- mony now being taken is citefly directed to show the amount. From all the present aspects of tne case, the investigation will doubtless be a length- ened, a3 several parties ave strenuously contesting the rights which Mrs, Burke confidently presents. The adjourned hearing was to have been continued yesterday, but owing to the absence of counsel It was farther postponed until Saturday next. The Gardners have instituted proceedings, ciaim- ing damages for defamauon of character against Mrs. Burke, in consequence of their being arrested at her Instance. EUROPEAN MARKETS.

In anticipation of a splendid concert the assem- blage momentartiy increased, not only in numbers, but in all the elements ihat zo to compose the throng of fashion, elegance and refinement, Prettier belles never tripped along more gracefully; the beaux were faultiess, and old couples siniied beulgnandy on the scene.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS IN NEWARK. There are two subjects which are a source of much anxiety just now to the City Fathers and the people of Newark, N. J. These are the hospital appropria- tion question and the paving of the streets. Some time ago, in regard to the former, at a meeting ot the Common Council a Father offered a resolution ask- ing that the sum of $10,000 be appropriated for ihe t t of St. Michael's Hospital, an institution in of the Catuol rgy and the Sisters of narity, and one that has proved the greates: possibie boon to the sick, the maimed and the suf. tering of the community. A new aud spacious building i# in course of erection, and towards com- pleting this the appropriation was asked. Newark has no hospita! of iis own, und It was urged that th giving of aid to the hospital in course of erection would virtually be conferring a beneft on the entire community, a8 the institution is catholic im the widest sense of the word, The resolution met with determined opposition, and was lost. Since then the matter has beua agitated, dnd again atthe meeting of the Council on Friday night it formed the chief topic of discussion, and was again de- feated by & vote of one. It certainiy seems strange tnat the Council wili not provide an insttiu- tion Liself nor lend # helping hana to tnose already inthe field, It is fearea that a considerabie deal of religious a aed as well as niggardly parsimonious. ness, is at the bottom of the opposition. Reiative to the pavement question the ci\izens are at last fairl aroused to the belief that the cobble stones which disgrace Broad street and murder our horsefiesh are really disgraceful, and ought no longer to be toler- ated, Now the question is what kind of pavement shall be substituted? Some are in favor of the Belgian, others the Telford-Macadam, and the ma- jority prefer one or other of the wooden pavements, The vity oMciais seem to have a strong bias in favor of the Nicolson.

Bradley tho Winner of the Former—Irrogu- lar Proceedings in the Com- modore-O’Brien Race. ‘The spring trotting meeting of the Fashion Course stretched itself to the end of the week by the post- ponement of the purse for 2:26 horses from Frida} Much dissatisfaction was exprossed because of this Act; but the excuse that @ track in fime condition Was required to give the respective horses @ fair nd even chance and the outalde betting fraternity, Who had invested a large amount of mouey on favorites, an equal opportunity one withthe other, tended to have a soothing effect, and if the disap- Pointed of the previous day had not forgotten the vnjustidable irregularity they had forgiven it whenit was known that three match races would be added to tho day's sport, The attendance was falr, the baie delightful, and the track in splendid condi- in, In the 2:26 purse of $1,000—$900 to the first horse, $300 to the second aud $100 to the third; mile heats, best three in five, in harness, the entries were:—W. H. Borst’s bay gelding J.J. Bradley; Budd Dobie’s gray gelding Surprise, Dan Mace’s chestnut mare Idol and W. H, Saunders & Son's bay gelding West- era New York, All started. The excitement inci- dent to the betting, which was very heavy, added a zest to the occasion not apparent during the pre- vious days of the meeting. The bay gelding J. J. Bradley was the favorite before the race, the gray ‘elding Surprise second in choice, and with Idol and. Western New York selling in the field. In one pool of $335 the prices were:—Bradiey $160, Surprise $110, fleld $65. Five heats were trotted and Bradley won the race in style; his partisans, although he lost first and second heats, never gave up Ueir couti- dence in his ultimate victory. Surprise took second and Idoi third money, The second race was of but little account, being a match betweea John Hasiet’s black mare und D. Morgan’s black gelding Dandy, for $500, mile heats, * bes: three in five, in harness. The latter won m Uuiee straight heats and distanced the mare. The third race was a scrub performance, a match for $100, mile heats, best three in tive, to wagon, be- tween John Marphy’s black gelding Black Pat and Barney the “Wild Frenchman’s” chestnut gelding Billare. The biack gelding won easily and dls- tanced Barney’s horse in the third heat. “The fourth race, and really the one productive of the most ex- citement and peculiar jockeying, was @ match between en Daniels bay gelding Young Commodore and “Gus” Noble’s bay gelding James O'Brien, A thunder shower came up during this contest, and the fourth and 1lfto heats were trotted in a drenching rain. There was a lurge amount of money staked on the result, and the victory of the gelding O’Brien caused the adherents of Young Commodore and his supposed ablitty to win to be losers to an amount that will in the future cause them to be a little careful of the “jobs they put up.’ In the fourth heat, whea Youug Commodore had won but one heat, there was a collision of the sulkies on the first tura, and Ben Daniei’s was somewhat injured. Although O’Brien won the heat easily the ‘interesied” made the damagea vehicle a basis of protest, and charged Roden, the driver of tbe latter, with an intention of running down his opponent. How that could have beea, or that it Was his fault, when at the time his horse was from half a length to a length on the tead, honest men were not able Wo See, but the rabble “knew that he meant tt,”” and, finally, after much discussion, the heat was given to Commodore, and this making two aud two a fifth was ordered to be trotted, which ended ina victory for O’Brien, It is to be hoped that in the future the Fashion Course patrous will witness bul few trots of this nature. FIRST RACE. First Heat.—The bay gelding J. J. Bradiey was the favorite, Western New York drew the pole. The third attempt they got away, Surprise first, Westera New York second, Ido! third and Bradley fuurto, Leaving the sand Idol went up, and Brad- ley smitated her exampie on the turn.

A Sign of Reconstruction—Cavaliers of the North and South in Friendly Rivalry—The Tour- nament at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds—An Enjoyable Day and & Pleasant Entertainment. The fee:ings that stirred the soul of Macbeth whem, Birnam Wood came to Dunsinane could not have been much aiferent from those which moved the Wondering citizens of Brooklyn yesterday. Medim- valism jerked back from out the darkness of the Past into the nineteenth century and a repablican country; the bigh-sounding nonsense of old “effete Europe” resounding from the ips of ridiculously clad democrats, in the hearing of smiling sceptics; the pride, pomp and circumstance of middle-age foolery transplanted from the mock herole South to within a few miles of practical New York—this is what the innocent people saw and wondered at. Their higheat idea of horsemanship having been obtained from witnessing swift horses driven vy gentlemen who did nothing in particular to challenge admiration, and incurred no danger whatever tn their trotting matches, their expecta- fons were raised to the highest pitch by tne an- nouncement that at Prospect Park valiant knights of the loftiest character cone tend in mortal striie for the smiles and favor of the Queen of Love and Beauty. The splendid description of the tournament im Scott's “Ivanhoe” was read and re-read by thousands, who expected to see a similar exhibition of flery valor on the gory covered field of Brooklyn. Before people knew who the high and mighty its wero Who-e mission 1¢ was to belabor other kuiguts aud lay them low by doughty blow and thrusts (pn the lista, the whole plan. and scope of the fearful fight was ciearly geen in every unsophisticated eye, There would be Sir Murphy de Bots Flanagan, New York, in a hand-to-hand encounter with Sir Powhatan Pip, Jr. of Oulpepj Court House, Va. while Sir Joshua Be Smi.b, of Connecticut, rode down and ‘stam; ped on the fearful form of Sir Marmaduke Jones, of Chicago, And in the rout, the noise and clash of arms, It was fondiy expected that some desperate.y tnclined knight, horribiy biack and forbidding tn his aspect, would break the — of innumerable caitiis from aspiring Jersey. But, alas! for the expectue tons of the romantic and the chivalrous! The great expectations of the day dwindled down to the smailest ho} when the gathering crowds assem- bled at the fairgrounds in Brookiyn and glanced at the knights in buckram and beueld the picayune preparat ons for ihe tit, he chivalrous oeings having the tournament in charge, though filled with the loitiest notions, and no doubt sincerely anxious to annihilate by one good day’s representation of ancient state and styic, the too utilitarian spirit of the hour, were not above & sharp business trick, The time for the tournament to commence was adverti-ed for twelve o'clock, but 1t was not intended that the sport should commence before two. It was @ good move in @ pecuniary point of view, but somewhat annoying to those who found themselves despoiled of two hours? valuable time. It must be said, however, that beyond this there was Ltve in the man- ment of the aifair to call for censure. The exhibition of horsemanship was very good, and {t 1s to be hoped that the maniy sport of ulting at the ring, which was splendidly exhibited yesterday, may speedily take the place of the unmeaning trot ting matches which our c:tizens flock lo see for want of any better outdoor amusement. As the reader will have already surmised, nothing at all like @ tournament on “the good old plan” was attempted, It was simply the southern sport of tilting at a ring suspen aes irom & cord wittran irom tipped spear from the back of w horse running at full speed. The sportis exhilarating for those engaged in it, and very exciting for those who look on, W such a sport should be calied @ tournament, whic! is generally supposed to be an afiatr in which hel- meted and fron-clad buiers, with loud snorting steeds, split spears and dash horses together reck. lessiy, is a “Locke on the Human Understanding, aud why the misguided youths, who display such Skul and address in the management of their ant- mals, should dress like clowns in @ clrous is a still greater wonder. There were fifteen contestants ior vhe honors of the day, and were prociatined and known on the ground as follows:—Knight of Vir- ginta, Horace Batley; Knight of Westmoreland, A. brockenbrough; night of Prospect Park, W. G, Bailey; Knight of the Old Dominion, Cc. A. Box; Knight of Shannondale, Eddte Gallagher; Knight of Hereford, R. th Hereford; Knigut of Alabama, J. J. Harrison; Knight of Marl- borough, W. A. Jarvoe; Knight of the Biue Ridge, J. N. Gallagher; Knight of Montgomery, William Knox; Knight of Wyoming, J. Ridgeley McBlair; Knight of the Highlands, Theodore Mosier, Jr.; Knight of Mary- Jand, W. Marshall; Koightof New York city, S. P. Maury; Knicht of the Black Plume, James W. Walsn. Previous to the commencement of the “tourna- ment” Mayor Ka!bfetsch poked his jolly nose over the race track and said he had pleasure in introducing Colonel A. H. Dawson, ana retired smiling. Colonel Dawson then made o speech wel- coming the Southern knights and glorying over the prospect of the revival of the hoble sport of tilting, Then the knights, dressed in all the colors of the rainbow, marched past in review, an obese Duichman biew a blast from a trumpet the flery steeds snorted in chorus, the crowd cried “Bully”? and the final arrangements were made for the trial of skill, Shortly ufter two o'clock the tilting commenced aud continued without intermis- sion until half-past five o’clock, With varying sauce cess the knights contended, and finally declarauoa was made that the Knight of Shannondale, Eddie Gallagher, had won the first prize, a horse; the Knight of Westmoreland, A. Brockenbrough, the second prize, a gold Watch, and the Kalght of Ala- bama, the third prize, shirt studs. ‘There could not nave been Jess that 3,000 persons present during the day, including many ladles, and the general verdict was that the Wurnament was a most enjoyable affair anda very welcome substt- tute for dull trotting matches and otuer equally un- interesting outdoor sports, PATTI'S SACRED CONSERT IN WILLIAMSBU2.
