Tragedy pushed Terpst- chore aside and Shakspeare reigned where Farnte once shone. The boards on which a Bonfantl and a Thompson pirouettea were pressed by the sandalled Jeet of Roman Senators, and Cesar, brutus and Antony deciaimed where Herzog, Sinbad ana Has- warac once spoke their impassioned lines. The stage what witnessed the nightly descent of the Black Crook wa pega. hotter than New York last summer, the myriad sprites in borrowed hair and tingel in the transformation scene to the ‘les, the wonderful dénouement of the Farnese drama and the injunc- -tlon-famed “After Dark” rairoad was supplanted in Roman columas and 8, P. % R. insignia.

This gentleman had no opportunity belore, during his engage- ment at Nibvlo’s, of displaying the abill- fies which made him California’s chief favorite, bus in the impetuous, obstinate and chival- rous Cassius he found a rede worthy of him. He bore out the description which O:esar gave of him as one of those Who are “never at heart's case while they behold @ greater than themselves.” He was actuated, in his hostility to Oicsar, move by envy of the man than by the pure, patriotic motives that in- spired Brutus, The quarrel scene in vie fourth act between Brutus ond Cassius was the beau ideat of art.

Mr. Walter Mout> gomery made his first eppearance on tho American stage as Mark Autony, and an uaconquerable hoarseness and nervousness marred the energy which he brought to the part. There was a tendency to overact shown in mavy of the best passayea, which requires considcrable toning down. His appearance is commanding and ho las mani- festly a large experience which, on a sec. ond appearance, will go far towards remov- ing the blemishes in his impersonation, Mr, Mark Smith looked and acted we part of biunt, honest Cisca to the ife, and Mr. Theodore Hamilion Was evoiytiing that we could desire in the title réfe.

Lizzie Keller the Wianer of the 2:35 Purse— The Prize for 2:50 Horses Not De- cided Because of Darkness. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6, 1870. Yesterday was tho first day of the annual trotting meeting at Point Breeze Park, and it proved an auspicious beginning, which ugers well for the three hilarious days to come, The men and women of this town think kindly of the goctety who foster the sports of the turf among them, and tt can be assumed that your Gothamites care not more for Jerome, nor Fleetwood nor Monmouth than do Philadelphians for the breozy trotting course at their arm’s length, All classes attend Point Breeze and have represcn- tatives overNowing its club house and quarter. stretch whenever the chance of enjoyment offers, Located in the shade of gigantic trees that every- where surround the track enclosure were canvas vooths, wagons and stands, wherein and where- from were dispensed cakes, pies, jam, oysters, cooked crabs and lager. All seemed to be driving a good trade. Inside all was ife and animation at quite an early hour. Now until the time announced for the commencement of the amusement there were con- stantly arriving carriages, buggies, carryalla, barouches, piquant sulkies and farm wagons of all shapes and all ages, freighted with persons of either sex, all apparently bent on witnessing the initial events of opening day. Uncles, aunts, nephews, cousins and the rest were there, some, of course, in the plebelan way, “shanks’ mare,” but many with their footmen and coachmen, 1n and out of livery, blue coata and gray, black breeches and blue. The latter were admitted to the course through the private en- trance, which Is in the embrace of two beautiful maple trees, full of gracefulness and delicacy. OMcers were stationed at this as near the public gateway to direct and protect the timid and the pockets ofthe association, It were scarcely possible to detail the tricks and gubter- fuges of the countrymen to ran the gauntlet of the custodians of the entrances without paying. These devices were numerous and despicabie. Fortu- nately few succeeded and those who were caught iu the attempts to swindle were treated to vast amounts of cowhide, without money and without price; nothing else will sensibly affect mon of that stamp, Ithad the right result, the making them feel just ag mean as does a dunghill chicken by the crowing of @ far-off game cock on his airy walk on a pleasant hill farm. Point Prowae Park—very appropriately namei—ts indeed beiutifuily simated, Five miles from the City of Brother!y Love, at the fork made by the sil- very Delaware and plactd Schuylkill, os their watera commingle and run to the ocean, it 13 located, sur- rounded by acharming country which yesteray was radiant in its emerald attire. From the grand stand and the elub house balconies, the panorama of glid- ing veasels on the Delaware, the rugged outline ot League island, and its pictnresque monitors that did such signal service in the late “onpieasantness;”? orchards and gardens, bright alike with fruits and flowers; hedges of pine, woods ana [arm houses, ie, indeed, lovely to that degree that the eye lingers upon tt most approvingly. In the inner fleld, luxurtant in its waving grass, here and there are trees knotted with age, their bark thick as cork and hard as iron; thelr hoary arms overshadowing witha pleasant glimmer all about them and their leaves as-beautiful as ihoze of some Little plant that come late and go early, yet never so umnbrageous as vo exciude the blue sky. The club house, a pretty ond commodions building, With rooms and parlors enough to satisfy the most exacting, could not be more charmingly placed. it commands @ magnificent view of the bends in the Delaware, of pronghed fleida, sloping uplands, farm houses, and 1n the distance hill tops quite clear and entting the sky, wreathed in mists or for a ume hid- den in the clouds.

Blondes with living locks of auburn bratded over living brows of snow, and with light-biue laughing eyes, commbigied with those of tresses Diack in thelr glossy richness as the raven’s ida Their aftires were neat and appropriate for the occasion and the drive from the city. Polite and gracious cavalicrs were in attendance, to enlighten them as best they knew how in tite mysteries of the turf, the potats pro and con of the contending steeds, and upon all other items of interest which their fertile bratas suggested as the racers passed to and fro for their pleasure and the drivers’ ideas of the preliminary Walk necessary to ‘warm them” suiiiciently for the work to be done, ‘The public stand contained a miscellaneous gath- ering. From every part of ‘‘Fhilamaciink,” the surburban towns. corn fieids and farm houses, they came. Few ‘old familiar faces,” alwaye met upon the tracks surrounding New York, were there, while the major portion were native to Penn- sylvania soll, with that something in all their features, and the tones of all their voices aud all their inanners betokening origin from one root. Now and then numbers were seen who walked about with such an air, as if they had but one idea in the world, ana that idea was alone “horse,” aud that animal on the turf, had been their study for life. The track of Point Breeze is quite narrow—too narrow for a jJarge fleld of horses, and yesterday, in the first race this fact wus proven. There were eleven contestauts—bay, browa, black, dua, sorrel and gray, of all shades and» hues, and hardly oue distinguished from the other by his or her peculiar character of shape and form. It was a race pariicularly where the ruling apothegm of the deay—‘Every man for himself’ had application The excitement during the first heat was quite in tense, and the blending of the colors worn by the drivers so harmonious that a painter wou'd only have to group and color them asthe dazzling ligit or deepening shadows streamed on tiem from that sunny bky, to itmmortalize himself.

At the time mentioped above the Convention was formally opened. President McBirney made a statement of the labors of the associations. His report regretted the lnck of Bible studies in the associations, which, he was pleased to say, seemed in part to be superseded by Sunday school and city mission work. He urged more of the former, and called on the associations to plan new and vigorous movements whereby irreli- gions young men could be induced to attend meetings ‘ of associations. The report was a long one, but was closely listened to throughout. singing followed the reading of 1t and then came business, On motion the ruics governing the last convention were adopted to govern this, aud next the following | Committee on Permanent Organization was adopted :—John R, Eadie, North Shore; Verranus Morse, Brooklyn; Johu J.

The weather was bright and sunny and clear witiout belng hot; the attendance was at least three times 48 DuMerous as in any previous year; the racing, a8 will be seen from the report below, was ant. mated and exciting; and lastly, the entire day passed Off without a single mishap. The good attendance Was no doubt due, in great part, to the announces ment made that the regatta would have the nove) feature of a ladies’ race, Nearly all the local boat clubs, including the Nautilus, Gramercy, Free College, Astarte and Steplen Roberts turned out, many of them in uniform, while there was in addition a miscellaneous feet of small craft of every conceivable description, from the huge Noah’s ark, dirty, clumay ana ugly beyond the power of verbal expression, used for ferrying over the convicts and paupers to the island, down to the delicately fashloned ilttie out rigger, just samicient to hold a single rower, and kept straight in the water ouly by the skill of its owner and the balance of the oars. ‘the steamers and cars continually brought fresn additions to the crowd of spectators until late in the afternoon, The arrangements as a whole were ad- mirable, taking Into account the sinall force of pol boats at the disposal of the committee of | nrinagement, ‘The course was from the foot of Ath street to Ninety-eighth street, TAR RACING began with a four mile stretch in seventeen fect working boats, boys under eighteen years of age alone being allowed to enter. There were six starters, and at five minutes past three the report of @ gun set them of, A Staten Islander named Dan Ford led from the very outset, closely totiowed by Riley, though the re- maining four were nowhere.

The third prize was gained by Joe Brown, who came tn afull three minutes behind Riley, closely followed by Dave Vieid. This vace, though it did not seem to ronse the spectators into a very wild state of enthusiasm, waa a very pretty one, THE SECOND EVENT was a double scull race in nineteen feet working boats, four mties, witn three turus, open to all com- ers, There were oviginally only three entries, but a fourth couple of stalwart rowers appeai atthe last moment, and by the payment of a double fee secured @ chance In the ri There wag a good start 53, all the ats leaving well together, with a pretty clear course, ‘The last entered boat, rowed by Deely and Gannon, soon took the leau, though, ere 1t reached the stakeboat at Ninety-eighth street, its crew returned and claimed to have been fouled by one of the other boats, The claim was not allowed by the judges, as the fouling did not Lente have been wilful, and would not have materially injured the chances of the claimants, At the turn roundjthe judges’ boat at the end ofthe firat two miles, the leading boat was the Mat T.

But the Julla was but a short distance in the rear and the Roberts’ boat made ag good third.

NEwront, Sept. 6,187, There ts no time in the annals of our yachting bis- tory when such interest was mantlested In the noble sport as that now shown in regard to the coming: races. Never did yacht owners make more carefal and extensive preparations, and it 13 safe to say that the approaching contests will exceed anything of the kind that has ever taken place tn this country, During the past week or so nearly every yacht in the squadron has becn overiauled, and the aulversal de sire of all {8 to have o fair test of the capact ties of the several vessels over a course that nas received several recommendations. “It is @ free and open one, and having frequently been sailed over by the flect it soon will be the scene of some of the most exciting races that have marked the exlatence of the New York Yacht Club. ‘The lateness of the season will warrant the expec tation of a good stiff breeze, and judging from the cold snap of the past few days there is reason to hope that the sanguine anticipations of our enterprising and plucky yacht- men will be realized to the letter. It is well known, moreover, anong the members of the club that the coming races are looked forward to as geauine tests; more so, in fact, than perhaps any trials of speed wo have had this year, When itis considered that no expense has been spared to bring the fleet to ag near perfection as possible, aud that innumerable experiments have becn made for the purpose of dnding out defects which have now been removed, it 1s reasonable to expect that the several regattas will be charac- terized by very close racing. Not a few of the contesiants desire to have single matches with the English craft, for with Pratseworthy conlidencs tie majority of the yacht owners feel sat i that they can cope with er in Auy Weather. Ab the preseat time eomment is unnecessary, as the resuit wil speak for itself. Although the season 1s far advauced and most of the visitors are leaving this. fashionable resort a ijarge number of pergons will remain here purposely to witness the race, In fact the near approach of the races has caused an amount of antinatlon and excitement rarely seen in New- port at this time of the year, itis evident that the citizens are taking an active Interest in the coming events, unmistakably proven by their handsome present, Known as tac Cltt-eas’ Cup, which will bo Suiled fur at the close of the series of reguttas al- ready announced, The first race will come off on the 8th inst. for.the Vice Commodore’s Cup.

Miss Roberts, the third to put in an appearance, was younger and slighter tnan at least three out of her four antagonists. Her dress waa extremely simple, bub im the best of taste. Miss Walton and Mise Annie Williams, both of whom rowed up to the starting point as though they simply and only intended bua!- ness, were both attired in dark dresses, with simple Btraw hats. ‘The boats used by the fair contestants were as light as was consisient with safety, but the course, two miles in length, was a preity severe task for the delicate frames of ‘lovey women.’ some little coniusion took place at the outset, but the ladies having been at last got pretty well In a line the gun gave them their start.

In short, her rowing was perfection. It combined strength with ease and precision with grace. The other ladies showed @ falr familtarity with thetr oars, but failed rather in managing and turning their boats, and rowed in a decidedly feminine style. The whole progress of the race was watched with the most absorbing interest by the spectators, aud 1t wags with exireme dim- oulty that the course Was kept clear.
