FLEETWOOD PAR Last Day of the Spring Trot- ling Meeting. Ten Thousand People Present—The “Flyers” in Horseficsh Compete for Mu- nificent Purses. Goldsmith Maid and Young Bruno the Winners. “This knocks them all.’? “It's the biggest crowd I have ever seen since George M. Patchen, Jr., trotted against Dexter on the Fashion Cou.se, There must be 10,000 people hers.” Thus spoke an octogenarian turfite yesterday at Fleetwood i ark. It was the occasion of the last day i their spring trotting meeting, a me of velvet coats and Jerome Park tufuences, and the aged eighty gentleman was right. It would scem wnat trotting was fast growing into favor, even as pate de sote gras and lobsicr saad have supeiseded pork and beans on racing dys, and the sport 13 no longer a tabooed science, Larly in the day the crowd began to gather, and it seemed that every carriage that found its way to the Park continued along the pleasant aveuues, and under the beaming glories of asummer day found repose at the course, A thous #and and one carriages traversed the :oads, and not even the taithful enuimerators ut the gates of the city | can te!l how many conveyances thus passed under , their eyes, Most everybody rede—ihat is, “ they were * not fortunate enough to hire or own a teain they took the Harlem Rail- Toad or the passeuger cars; or else, ke the portical but maigent Irishman, footed it all tae we wry way. It was such a summer day as one might Know .n the south of France, the heat almost too oppressive and | the blossows und buds along the route emitung their fragrance. Tie atr was filed with shouts, Wiid young men, happy 1 the possession of a holiday and vecasionally a fiask, felt cheered by the prospect of the inn .merable vehicles that shot out like an end- Jess procession on the quiet road.

THE MATE MUTILATED, Story of the Voyage from Cardiff—Watoh and Watch—The Onsicught—Lizzie Bell's Hard Luck—Her Services ic the Captain— Arrest of the Mutines: The bark Manitoba, of Yarmouth, Nova Scofia, 698 tons register, owned by W. C. Moody & Sons, cleared irom Cardiff on the 8th April, witn @ cargo of reilroad tron, There were fourteen souls on oard, all teld—the captain, Alcred R. Durkee; mate, Hirara McKinnan, secona mate, steward, stewardess, carpenter and eight men be- fore the mast. All went well for the first three weeks of the yoyage, good weather prevailing and things being generally snug. Towards the end of Aprit the cuptain noticed a disposition among the men not to obey orders. On the Ist of May, at twenty-five minutes under the followiig circumstances:—The ship, It may be premised, was tnen in latitude 45 44.N. and longitude 40 60 W,; at the above “our, the mate, MecKiunan, went forward to turn the 8 arboard watch to work, The mate then ordered the port watch to remain on deck and do some work. There were some murmurs, when the whole crew went aft and called for the captatu, Captain Durkee went on deck and asked them what they wanted. Many threats were hurted at the captain's head by the crew, who were now ripe for mutiny. The captain, who 1s a tall, straight, slim built, open faced Nova Scotian of about thirty years of age, and of genilemanly appearance, thea asked quiclly what was the dificuity. Several of them then cried out they wanted an understanding ABOUT WATCH AND WATCH. This may be explained to mean that when one watol or division of the boat's crew is off duty it is supposed to go below—that ts, give the sea- men four hours to amuse themselves, When there is any extra duty necessary it 18 the custom to have the off watch work during the afternoon spell. The crew had only been called on to 5, Coie two afternouns up to this date, The captain Bald “Have you not had watch and watch ?” The response was “Yes.” but understood that they were to be kept up in the afternoons the rest of the voyage. Captain Durkee replied that it was no such thing. He anly wanted to work a few days while it was fine weather, as there was work very necessary to be done, and that the ship would be endangered Without it, In conclusion he said “a0 TO WoRK LIKE M=S,”” and I sha!) see that you are treated like men and not overworked. Without making anv reply to this the men went forward, and mutterings were heard on every side that they were geing below. Mc- Kiernan, the mate, now stepped after them and or- derey them to work. The grew, with an evident su'len purpose, paid no attention to the mate’s or- der, The captain, secing that a storm was brewing, and that stern resoluvion would be necessary to quell it, went beiow and armed himself with @ revolver, the only firearm he had on board. ‘This he put in his pocket, and, taking some band- cuffs, went forward with the mate. Each man in turn Was asked by the captain if he would tu.n to, but all positively and do gedly refuzed. The cap- pact tien told them the consequences of refusing to 0 DUTY ON THE HIGH SEAS. The men greeted this with derision. He said that he would ask again, and the first man re fusi ng he would pot in irons. There was a mo- ment's pause, Wien one of whe men came forward and said, ‘Very weil.” Another man held out bis arms and said, “CAPTAIN, HERE YOU ARE.” The captain took a pa'r of irons and was just in the act of manacling him when the rest of thom made a rush at the captain and mate, armed with KNIVES, BELAYING PINS AND MARLIN SPIKES, The captain was thrown on the deck, a number of the blvod-thirsty rufiians being on top of him. Tne Mate was seized by some o1 the othera, c-ptaun Durkee en‘leavored to use his revoiver, but did m for the moment have any chance. He could not tell how many meu were over him. Blows from be. laylug pins and maritnspikes rained thick and Reavy upon him. Atlengti he managed to fire two shots from his revolver, but without any telling etlect. He telt that he must soon fail, aud, making @ last desperate effort for life, he got clear of his rudianly assaLants. Almost senseless and covered with blood, he regained the quarter deck. He lost bis pistol in tre miée, The mate, McKunran, who isan aole-podied young man of about five and twenty, with an open face, @ dark mustache and black, sparse beard on the cain, had meanwhile a terrible tussle with his attackers. He was seized, like the captain. = the mutineers before he had time to defend himself, and was thrown upon the deck. ‘iwo of the crew, armed with Knives, felt upon and began slashing at him right and left. One of these msée a blow at his throat, and in warding it of he received a stab on the right hand, near the wrist. Attempting to recover bis equilibrium he was seized by the steward Monti- yell, whom Whe captain had called to is assistance, a nd THROWN VIOLENTLY BACKWARDS. While in this position he was stabbed in the a 79 thign, the knie leaving a clear cut in the pauts. He also rece.ved while on his back a stab from @ knife in the left snouider which cut clean through the vest and mbedded itself in the flesn about one Ich from the ren He wiithed in agony, and turned over, receiving @ final stab in the right buttock. He made a terrible effort to tree bimself, using his tists and feet freely, d dragged himself back ‘o the quarter-deck about a minute be- fore, Captain Durkee. The captain had received tive severe scalp wounds, one three Incnes in in iength and going vo the skuil. He fainted seve- ral ures on going below. ‘ihe mate's fouc wounds | incapacitated tim, particularly the last stad in the fleshy part of the thign, which bad severed some of the rendous. Knowing that the men were now desperate, the captain got his wounds dressed as speedily as possible, and with #& courage worth pratsing went forward and told the starboard watch to go below and the port watci to go about some work. The men were evideatly AFRAID OF WHAT THEY MAD BEEN DOING, and set about work as they were ordered, with alacrity. 1ovard the mate the crew use:l the most diabolical language, that if they had the chance they would OUT THK MATE TO PIECES. ‘There ta very littie doubt but it would have been a secund case of the “Fiowery Laad’’ if they had not been furiunate enough to wet away. Atter this significant episode tie men did just as they pleased, ‘The mate was unable to move from the efects of nis wounds, and, as the second mate 18 an old nan, Captain Durkee had no man on board he could trust ror an hors command bat himself, He oxten went to bed without knowing whetber he ‘Would be aroused by a Koife at his throat. Conse- quently the task of commenaing the bark fell aloue on Capiain Darkee. Up to tus pertod the captain aud mate were in doubt wheiber the steward acted frieadly to them or otnerwise. It was noticed sub- seyue.tiothe matiny that he was frequently back- | ward andjorward among the crew, and torough course of observation and tact it was discov: red that py carrying stories he was the real :omenter of the mutiny. To understand this course of juquiry it will be necessary to go back to the sailing of ine Vessel from Cardi, Betore the day of clear. ance the steward, Montivell, came to the captalp_and asked 1 be might not be allowed to take his wire on board. The captain consented, and as the bark,was about to leave duc A GOUU-LOOKING YOUNG GIRL came on boara, She was entered on the nooks as Elizabeth Montive.!, She acted as cook's assistant; but 1: was noticed that (he brute Montivell used her shamefully. Atter the mutimy the mate was at din- ner ove day when he’ heard some sobs as from a woman. hen next he saw the stewarvess he asked Ler What caused her to cry, and thea came ut M A PAINFUL STORY OF Lping Cha Her name is Kizabeth well. he ts nineteen years of age, of pleasing, gentle, unsoplaticated face and | gentie manners.

Robert le Diuble at rho Acidomy Last Night. Meverbeer, king of operatic composers, took the Place of noisy Verdi last might, aad is best work, and perhaps the vest of all operas, was tue Medium through which the entire strength of Alpites’ 6em- pany Was brought out together, and its chief mem- bers—Miss Kellogg, Mme. States and Signor Villani— bad a chance of distingushing themselves in the highest roles of the lyric drama. ‘There ig no work so adinirably adapted for popularity by i's stirring meiodies, its grand Miltonic subject, the etruggic between the powers of good anil evil, tts strongly marked coniis3 and {ts unapproachable dramatic effects, A tuutvel of science and art, yet its grandeur is simplicity itself, and the sight, fancy aud heart are led captive to it as well as the ear, No work (displays so admirably the exquisite balance and blending of the three schools—the deep science of the German, the sentimentality and sweetness of the Italian and the rich embroidery and dramatic effects of the French—in ail of which Meyerbecr was a master. In the startling contrasts he sometimes resorts to, and which are always with him effective, many of his successors have been led into imitations, which, however, invariably result in failure. The cast last night was strong in some respects, Miss Kellogg appeared for the first time as Alice, Mme. States as Isabella, Signor Villani as Robert, Signor Carosellt as Rambaldo and Carl Formes as Bertram. The réle of Alice is the most ambitious one that nas ever been attempted by the favorite American prima donna, and much interest was evinced in the result. The part makes heavy de- mands on the ability of the actress and the power of the singer, Alice is the spirit of good that through. out the opera carries on single-handed (for the assistance of Isabeila is very limited) the strurgic w.th the infernal powers, and more passionate act- ing and more passtonate singing can scarcely be conceived. Miss Kellogg, in late years, has devei- oped irom a coquettish Zerlina into a lyric tragé- dienne, with cousidcrable command of fire aud pas- sion. Her voice, irom being solely a soprano gjogato, has acquired much of the strong dramatic quality which can give eflect to grand roles 1u opera, ‘This is principally owing to the penetrating quality of the tone, added to an indeanavie sympathetic quality and to her sincere and persevering studies in her art. Her Alice may be down as one of her miost satisfactory and finished eforis on tne stage. In her frst aria, «Vanne, Disse Al Figlo,” tn which she telis Robert the lust a.vice of his dying mother, she phrased and declaimed the passionate words In an actistic Manner that gave them due effect. ‘The song of her native Normandy, a simple, pastoral air, which she sings at the demons’ cavern, was given with a grace and aitiess- ness that left all its charms unalloyed. She intro- duces cadeuzas of her own in some of those airs, ana therr adaptability to tne subject and futsned execution add much to the appreciation of her by the audience as an arusté, Tne iamous trio, with- out accompaniment, in the same scene, between Alice, Kobert and Bertram, for a wonder was sung in periect time—an extraordinary and unexpecied cir- cumsatance, considering (he proneness of the fiend’s ‘Youce to fali below the pitch. In the trying scenes with Robert in the last part of the opera Miss Kole (ss, displayed adunirable qualitios as an actress, made a very favorable impression, and Ve effect tothe “Rupert, foi que )’Alme,” an air brought out the best qualities of her flae voice. Villani seemed to torget his usual apathy, and electrified the house with the harcarorte in the first act and im the subsequent scenes with Allce @nd Bertrain. Li he would ai ways endeavor to Infuse Into hus odes a little Warmth and passion, and not appear as a misanthrope or retired student, he Would gain moro success. Mere accurate singing is not sufficiest for an operatic ten ‘aroxelli did better than ov auy previcas occas: na the con- ductor considerately gave chance of being heard. That he possesses talent there is no question, and the neceasiry experience ‘will probably develop him invo a first class fe,ore dt graza. The Bertram of Carl Formes was years ago & performance such as could not be witnessed or heard except when he was on the stage. His voice Was an organ of thrilling power, whicu tatriy revelied im the weird numbers of the tlend; but Sears and waut of care of this voice has robbed 1t of its power and left it aimos. helpless in its inaoility to grasp and hold a note. Last night he acted with much of his old power, and carefully hue- banded the materials which remain to him of his unequatied voice. In the duet with Kambaldo in the second act, a Papers dialogue, his voice seldom struck the right note. In tne trio, as we have ‘lrealy mentioned, ic kept pretty fairly within bounds, ‘The chorus was not desery- ing of praise last night, but the opposite. The subterranean voices in the St. Irene scene wore inandible, and the voices of Robert’s wichts were perpetually quarreiling as to the tua and tune Ne.

Summer Opening mance of the Central Park Band. The appearance presented by Central Park yester- day afternoon was extremely striking and pic- turesque. Large numbers of people of all shades and conditions came out to enjoy the pleasant, cool evening alr amid the shatows or the trees, or in the pleasant nooks that a»ound tn our garien Park. Others, more adventurous, strutted up and down the Mall, chatting and og!ing aad carrying on extensive flirtations 2 Vat, ‘This latter kind of pastime seemed most in favor, and it 1s highly provable tne plea- santest chor+(s of music that fell on many an ear was the softly whispered vow je UVaime, recorded in a dozen different languages.

The ang pate “Ye Midnight Stars’’ was in direct contrast to tae preceding, @ slow and diguifled serenade be J. R, Thomas, of the ballad style, but very melodious.

Part second vegan with @ grand selection from the «Mantechi @ Capuletti,” or, as it 1s better known, the “Romeo and Jultev’ of Bellin’, This opera, which ts highly considered ia Europe, has never been pro- du in America. The music is grand aud swelling, well worthy of the beautiful theme. This piecey was followed by one of Handel's hallelujah choruses, and a fine song piece, “Ocean, Thou Monster,’ concluded the sevond part.

A deliberate study of it has confirmed our first Impression thac it is simply shocking.

BALLING'S “KING HAROLD HAARFAGER," which we bave more than once had occasion to praise as a bold and skilful composition, is as much adinired at the Natfonal Academy as it wae at the Brovklya Academy. JEROME THOMPSON, who is described in the London Anglo-American Times as ‘‘ihe ploueer ot all our artists who nave drawn on the rich scenery of the great West for in- spiration,’’ has sold three or four pictures to English purchasers. The scene of one of them—“Hiawatha Jeading Minnehaha home”—is laid in Minnesota, on the headwaters of the Mississippi, just below the Falls of St. Anthony. Auother—“Seeking Homes”"— gives @ comprehensive view of the headwaters of St, Peter's river, the dividing line between Min- hesota and Dakota, with high bluds on one side ana the great prairle on the other. A number of ox Wagons aud the hardy pioneers driving along their live stock are seen slowly wending thelr tollsome way towards the setting sun. A third picture— “The Beacon Fire’—exhibits Lake Pepin, with a party of Indians on a rocky promontory in the foreground signalling their friends on the opposite shore by means of a column of smoke rising to the shy. A fourth—Musing by the Lake’’—represents two Indians, who have hauled their canoe on shore and are standing among the tall grapes and wild flowers curiously examining the strange characters on @ piece of paper lett there by some straggling pale face, probably the artist himself. Ali these pictures possess the same characteristics which have made Mr. Thompson’s “Home, Sweet Home,’ “The Old Oaken Bucket,” “The Captive Child’? and “Prairie Flowers” so universally popular when reproduced as chromos, GILBERT MUNGER is again about to set his face towards the setting sun. His pictures have already indicated how rich & harvest is yet to be reaped by the artist who will venture farther away than te Hudson and Lake George, and study the incomparable scenery which De Forest, In that truly American novel, “Overland,” im the Galazy, with its “grand, gloomy and peculiar” views of the great canyon of the Colorado, and Clarence King, in his “Mountameering in the sierra Nevada,” in the Atlani:c Monthy, so vividly de- scribes.
