WEST POINT. The Hotbed of Heroes on the High- lands of the Hudson. The Reception of the Board of Visitors—How It ‘Was Done and How It Was Enjoyed—A Grand Review and the Examina- tim Begun—The Hop at Cozzens’. West Point, June 2, 1870, The reception of the Board of Visitors took place yesterday with all due regard to the regulations of years ago, which prescribed what ought always to be done by the West Point high mightinesses to show their extraordinary regard for the gentlemen Who are appointed by the President every year to get their board and washing free for three weeks or 80, 4p return for which they are charitably supposed to find fault with nothing they see or hear within a ra- ius of ten halt miles of West Point. 4 TAR OFFICIAL VISITORS, ‘The Board this year are not a whit better in any re- spect than their predecessors have been for the past Bve years—which ¢ not complimentary to anyvody— nd I dare say theg aie aa weil aware of the {act ag everybody else who has made their acquaintance. They are, as were their predecessors of last year, @ quiet cet of individuals, who know very lit- ue about military mattere, if they know anything at ‘ail, and who are quite willing, I have no doubt, as long as they are well treated, to pronounce every- thing, from the Superintendent down to the merest private soldier on the list, perfection itself, They express but very few opinions upon what they do, hear and see, and when they do venture to tell each other or one of the officers what they think about anything that strikes them in their oficial rambies they always take care to go over well beaten ground and only talk decidedly about what the oficers them- Belves tell them are facts, Under the circumstances it was not eurprising that from the moment they were officially received yesterday they began to Smile benigniy upon evreybody who took them by the hand or who didn't take them by the hand, but contented himself by standing at a respectful dis- tance, @ mere spectator; and let It he understood that I do not inctuie in the category the orderly ‘Whom one of the Board mistook for a genera! and ‘wanted to be remembered? to his family. THE OFFICIAL RECEPTION. Indeed, the reception seemed to please them ex. ceedingly. It was a very solemn affair in the eyes of every West Pointer, although, somehow or an- other, the cadets did not shed tears on the occasion, It happened in this wonderful way: Ali the officers Put on their best frock coats and epaulets and forage caps, girded on thelr peaceful swords, all glistening from fresh contact with soap- stone, and wended their way to the Superitendent’s house, Then, falling into procesion form, they Marched two by two to the military hotel on the ‘Dost where the officers and friends of the cadeis stay and walked up the steps amid the admiring gaze of all the yor girts who could get themselves Into bewitching positions on the stoop. They actu- lly took off their hats as they entered the parlors. and then there came a pause. The Board of Visit- ors had evidently not got sted as fo the fearfully grand honor that waa to be conferred upon them, and had not made preparations a-cordingly, Where were they—at ieast where were the majority’ ‘That was the questton, The bell hoys were ready to Swear that those of them who had arrtvel had got up bright and early, and could not be snoosing, ‘but more than that they Knew not. Acljutani Boy n- ton was the MASTER OF CEREMONIES and did his hest to find a fil Board, but his failure Was paintul to withe:s. Admivable Ad:oiral Porter had not yet put in an appearance, and the im- portant Ithamar something or other, from Wiscon- sim, Was not yet on the hotel register. However, ail horrors have an ending some time or another, andso had that of the reeeption, for good-natured Dr. Newman suddenly came out in all the bloom of his youthfulness, and then came three other members of the Board, ‘the — oMmeers were in eestusies at once. They all shook hands with the Board and welcomed tiiem to the in- siltation, and the professors, in their blue swallow tails and brags buttons, did the same and looked un- utterable things, Then came a scene of extravagance that would have astonished any one bul a New York alderman. ‘The adjutant ran down the steps, hat in hand, and callen for— can it be believed ?—carriages, and, as they drove up one by one, the visitors and the pro- Jessors got into them and were conveyed away to Inspect the “curtosity shops" of the Academy. ‘rhe officers got mto a stage, t! procession closed and the master of ceremonies drew a long breath, When ‘the Board arrived at the “shops” they were toted about and made much of, and then were driven to the superintendent’s house, Now, be it known that taking the Board of Visitors to the superts- tendent’s house ds always considered AN INDISPENSABLE NECESSITY, for reasons which are obvious as well as conrteous, And the Boards always apprectite the fact, at least the official callers did to Uils particular instance. And they couldn’r very well have done otherwise, for there was a very tempting display of wines ani ‘lasses on a side tabie tm the parlor, which a of thing most visitors do not easily r Nor were they resisted on this occas.on by any person outside the cadet cops The first class mop, who were present by special ri quest, did overcome the temptation to drink and be merry if they could, after the fasmon of the fox who swore he wouldn’t eat the grapes he conldn't get. They had no cause to complain, however, for cadets are supposed to be honorary members of every tem. perance society in the land, and so they had a side table with a pitcher of water on it, where tev could have enjoy lenty of cold comfort if they had so Sas but they dida’t. Thus much for te recep jon. A REVIEW, After enjoying the brief hospitality of the superin- tendent the Board made its wae safely to the miil- tary hotel, where it regaled itself with a good dinner and then broke into individual pieces and took a stroll until five o'clock, when a review of the cadet corps took place, at Which they “assisted,” as our French friends Would say. The review, it need scarcely be -atd, ‘Was avery fine one, and the gray cout went through ail the réquired movements in a way that wonld have made tears come to the eyes of Colonel James Fisk, Jr. There was a little rain while the corps Were out, and put for this fact there would have been @ large gathering of spectators, THE EXAMINATION Bus The examination virtually began morning, and the subject which the professors tried thetr best to puzzie the first two sections of the giaduating class with was that of “engineering,” which stands a@t the head of the ratio studiorum of tie furth ear’s erm. The members of the two leadlig sec- ions Were entirely examined, with the exception of Cadet Hoiden, who was yesterday badiy hurt dur- & cavalry charge and could not attend on account of his injuiries. The examination as a whole showed that the canes had not been aita gether idle during the pasf year, but it uld not come up fo the standard of the first sections of the class which graduated a year ago, The following are the names of those examined, with the suljeots upon ‘which they were catechised. The first mentioned are the demonstrations on the black board, and the second these upon which they were qnestioped. It may be added that the subject of engincertng in- Oludes civil.as well as militar, cuginesring: and the acience of war, as illustrated in ihe construction of Meld forttfeations, outlines of permanent fortitica- tions, stereotomy, advanced guard and outposts and mechanics of engineering.

An Extraordinary Display ot Incoherency and Irrelevancy on the Rostrum=The “Princess Editha” Raises the Dander of an Old Gentle- man from Long Istand=A Manifest “Sell.? Rditha Gilbert Montez, the reputed daughter of the celebrated Lola Montez, whose eccentric and curious career throughout the world is written on the memo- ries of many of the readers of the HERALD, delivered a lecture tast night at Steinway Hall on the “Equality of Women” and “The Wrongs of Her Distinguished Mother, Lola Montez.’ The audience, in reportorial phraseology, though very sparse, was highly intel- lectual, Among the few were some “spectacled” celebrities, both of the masculine and feminine gender, manifesting strong proclivities and a dete:- mination to prove that ‘whatever 1s is wrong.” ‘the “fair? lecturess, on making her appearance on the stage, created a decided sensation even among the stronger of the strongest minded women present, She is a decided Amazon, with strong animal instincts depicted in the flash of her deep, black and umseltled eye, as well as in her whole ilacial developments and the coutaur of her athletic aud robust frame, She was dressed in the most outlandish fashion, as if she ae- signed to ape an E:stern princess, and carried inan’s Kos-uth hat swinging in hand on t During hor ram fag and incoherent remark: trutted heavily up and dswa tie platform, her feet falling on the boards with clephantine pressure.

A hoary-headed, old, lanky, spiritua'is'ic looking gntieman in the audien’e muttered something between his teeth, to the effect tat he wanted to “hear something’ about Laie Montez,” which iitimation greatly excited the prin- coas, and caused her to exclaim, Willra deep, tragic elect:— “Do you want to fling ~~ Negitimacy in my face, sir? If you are Mr. , of Long Isiand,el pave to say that ny mother was poisoned in your house.’? This created a profound sensation, and erles) arose Of “Put him out! put him out’? and hands were = actually “laid = on the poor old soul for that purposes Peace was restored, however, and “te priucess’? proceeded to admonsh women against fashionable attire and to recommend them to rely more on man. In coue’usion she thanked the — au- dence in the name of Lola Montez for their dollar 2 head and hoped that she might prove more worthy of some things than her mother was. But her mother was dead. Let them now draw the veil; aud tf they did tet them weep o'er her grave ip silence and close it then. The audience thea dispersed, giggling and Jangh- Ing, and evidently with the impression that they had been well “sold.” THE ZON CHURCH MUDDLE, The Exclasive AfricunsThe Ring of Terror Broken—The Rev. W. F. Butler Reine stated. E Considerable excitement prevailed last evening da the vicinity of Bleecker and Tenth streets, owing to a meeting of the trustees of the Zion African Methodist Episcopal church for the purpose of settling the outs'!anding dispute between the said trustees and the congregation. The facts of the dispute have already been published in the columns of the HERALD, and refer merely to the reappointment of the Rev. W. F.

Bishop Talbot presided at the meeting, and in- formed the congregation that a preliminary mmoctine, of the trustees had been held, in which it Was resolved to accept the appointment of the Rev. W, F.

Whea the ehurch in Leonard street was sold it realized $90,000, The present avode of love cost only 40,000, which after paying off all mort; left a surplus of: $23, 000. Brother Howard, who haa been in office as trustee for eighteen years, now asserts that the church owes him $2,000, and thinks, therefore, that he must havea word in the proceedings.

Four thousand ladies and gentlemen congregated at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds yesterday after- noon to witness the trotting of the last day of the Meeting, Which generally is the best, There were two purses to be contended for—the first for $1,500 and the second for $5,000, In the first race there were seven entries, and all of the horses came to the post and contended for the money. These were Mr, J, Odikirk'’s black atallion Patchen Chief, Mr. Rodeu's chestnut geld- ing Prince, John Murphy's gray gelding Carroll (formerly known as Century), B. Daniels’ bay mare Topsy, F. J.

American Girl was entirely out of condiion, while Wilkes’ speed = was of short duration. He was always a bad finisher, but yesterday he seemed to have less endurance than ever before.
