Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, the distinguished veteran of the New England Congregational pulpit, presided, and 1t 1s unnecessary to say that the examination, rigid and exacting as it was, was most successfully and satis. factorily passed, A large number was present, but nothing to THE CROWD LAST EVENING, which filed the church to its utmost possible capa- city, all the aisles being flllea with stools, and even the environs of the pulpit and the room occupied by the choir being infringed upon to an uncomfortable extent, Hundreds were turned away, being unable to obtain admission, Meantime the interior of the church—a model of architectural beauty, simple, neat, elegant aud beautiful—never looked better, with the orilliant gatnering inside, the brilliant lighting of gas, and, last and not least, the splendid floral decorations froating the pulpit and @ifusing their delicious aroma of sweet perfumes, Upon the pulpit platform were many of the most eminent clerzymea of this city and else. where. Among other emiment persons prominently conspicuous were General 0. 0. Howard and Proies- sor Sprague. PREFATORY EXERCISES. The evening exercises, which were conducted by Rey.

THE FASEEST TROTTING THIS YEAR. The fastest trotting time in pubitc this year was made yesterday, on Prospect Park Fair Grounds, by two horses belonging to Mr. Robert Bonner, and what Will sutprise the public is that netther of these horses was Dexter, whose time yet remains un- equalied at the close of the trotting season of 1870, ‘The first of these horses is the six-year-old Joe Elliott, He trotted a mile in 2:18. He was timed by Mr. Pfifer, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Drew. He was ariven by John Murphy and carried five pounds over fll weight. The second is the beautiful mare Pocahontas, of Which Commodore Vanderbilt once said, “It 19 worth @ hundred dollars a day to look at her.” She trotled @ mile in 2:19, carrying over full weight. She was driven by Mr. b, Mace, and was tmed by Joun IL. Bnedixer, Mr. Hogan anu Mr, Clark. Bota of these miles are tho fastest that have been made in public this seagen. It has efven been predicted during the past summer that Dexter's Ume—2:17/4—was about to be beaten by some other horse; but, when put to the test, no other horse in the country has, after all, come 8 near equalling tt as either of (hese two out of Mr. Bonner’s own stable. It 1s but fair to say, therefore, that alter all the efforts at competition—and they have been made with Immense liberality of expendi- ture—the troitiag season for 1870 closes with we star of Bonner clearly in the ascendant, THE JEWEL ROBBERY IN CLEVELAND. Daring Burglary of a Sowolty Store—Watebes and Other Valuables to the Amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars Stolen. {From the Cleveland Herald, Noy. 11.) We record this morning of the heaviest rob- beries by burglars ever perpetrated in this city. Between the hours of seven and ten o’clock Sunday night the jewelry store of N.
