BEACON PARK. Second Day of the Spring Trot- ting Meeting. Idol Girl Winner of the Four-year-old Race, and Susie of the 2:35 Premium. Boston, June 21, 1871. ‘The track of the Beacon Park to-day was in very fair condition for trotting, notwithstanding the deluging rata of last night, and although fears were expressed that there would be @ postponement in the morning at the hour of starting, when the first race was called every driver appeared satisfied that the track was fit to trot over. The attendance was not as large as it was yesterday, still there wasa@ fine gathering of respectable people, and they all appeared delighted with the trotting. Two contests came off, the first peing for four- year-olds ana the second for horses that had never © beat 2:35. The four-year-old race had six entries and the 2:35 purse had ten. Four started in the tirst contest and six in the second. Idol Girl was the favorite among the four-year- olds, and Fanny Fern brought the largest amount of money in the other class. The starters in the colt trot were B. F. Cumming’s bay filly Idol Girl, by [dol, dam unknown; Jonn EB, Stewart’s bay filly Juno, by Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, dam Lady Morrison; Samuel M. Emerson’s colt Joe Bowers, by Green’s Hambietoutan, dam by Jupiter Abdallan, and W. H. Woodrum’s chestnut filly Prudence, by Daniel Lambert, dam May Queen. Idol Gitl won the race in three straight heats very easily. The starters in the second trot were E. Tobey’s chestnut mare Susie, J. J. Bowen’s brown mare Jennie, John Murphy’s bay mare Lady Sears, E. OC, White's chest. nut mare Fanny Fern, G. W. Smalley's black geld- ing Othello, and E. K. Conklin’s bay stallion Anda- usia, Susie won tho race. Fanny Fern was the favorite unul after the third heat, which was won by Jennie, Susie having won the first and second, It looked very muchas if Suste dropped the third heat, for she then became the favorite for the first time, when it was discovered that Fanny Fern could not win. The backers ol the latter fell heavily. THE FIRST TROT. First Heat.—Juno wok the lead, Idol Girl second, Joe Bowers third, and Prudence fourth. The Jatier broke up ou the turn and fell far benind. When the quarter pole was reached Juno was eight lengths in front, Ido, Girl was second, four lengths ahead of Joe Bowers, the latter being six lengths in advance The time was forty-three seconds to the quarter. Idol Girl then began closing, and when Juno reached the half-mile pole Idol Girl was four lengths behin:. Time, 1:26, Soon after leaving | this point Idol Girl shut up the dayugnt and was at | dJuno’s wheel at the three-quarter pole, Coming into the homestretch Juno was carried ta break, and Idol Girl came home an easy winner by six lenatis, Juno second, & dozen lengths in advance of Jue Sowers, Prudence distanced. Time of the heat, 2: S coud Heai.—1doi Girl took the lead at the start and was never heaued in the heat. Joe Bowers was second, Juuo close up. Going around the turn Idol thence down the river to a stakevoat opposite Fity-second street and back to the stakeboat off Pifty-seventh street, the course to be sailed over twice, the distance being twenty-two and a half miles, The prizes were a silver taukard valued at $125 for each of the first crafts in the re- spective classes, aset of colors for the vessels com- Ing in second in each class, and @ pennant for the first boat to pass the stakeboat on the homestretch. The time allowance was wo minutes to the foot. The judges were Messrs. Stephen Simons, Stephen Rob erts, Judge Michael Connolly aud John Master- sou, who, with oflicers of tne club, the regatta com- mittee, w large nuuber o1 invited guests and a band, embarked at the foot of Fifty-second street ou tie steamer Fort Lee, At precisely twenty-six minutes and etght and a quarter seconds past eleven A.M. the siart was made, the wind blowing freshly from the north- west. AS the vesseis beut to the breeze, and thir snowy sails caught it, and with their prows to the spray the “things of life” stood up the Tiver grandly amid the cheers of tnose on the Lee, tue hundreds of spectators who lined the piers and the occupants oi the barges and boats that were iazily bexting down the river. Scarce a mite had been made when the Coquette and the Sherman, which were leading, were marked for su- perority of sailing qualives; but wate the enthu- slastic iricnds oi eituer were speculating upon the ©.ances of thelr respective favurites, the Coquette ddenly showed her stern to her compeutors und ot ahead, followed by the Sherman, the Frolic, Wheu tue Fort Lee stake- a owe and other vessels, bout was reached the yachts rounded it in the follow- lng order:— e. 00% Geraldine. At this pertod of the contest the Blessing capsized and was withdrawn, and it was very doubtful Which vessels In the respective classes would wio, but on the run down the merits of those winch ran were apparent. Tne context was close between the Coquette, sterman and Frolic, but gradually the Sherman gained upon the — oquette, which was lead- iug, and in the next mile gave her her spray finely and shot ahead, ‘The lower staxeboat was passed first by the Sher- man, followed closeiy by the others in avout the same order. When Fort Lee was again reached the Sherman had been gained upon slightly by the Coquelte, which was 2m. 46s. behind, aid che Frolic’s crew meaning to couquer it possivie. The run down the river was @ spirited contest between the Kowe, Sherman, Coquette and Frolic, but the serman won the pennaat by .m. 1948, ‘The vessels passed the home stakeboat in the foliowang order and at the rived. ; Bours named:— Time Ar} H.

Commencement and Other Exercises at Vassar College, Seton Hall and Other Institutions. VASSAR COLLEGE, Commencement Exercises Yesterday—Credit- able Display by the Young Ladies. During the past forty years “institutions” for the education of ‘females’ have sprung up here and there throughout the United States, and tn the sald “institutions” the said ‘females’ have been educated—at least so we are told. Everybody has heard of the boy who wrote the word ‘horse’? under the picture of an anatomical wonder. In the same way “educated” has been written upon American girls as, yeor after year, they were graduated from seminaries and boarding schools. They were said to be educated, and their Iriends and the world in general were bound to be- Meve in the tickes of the manufactory where they were polished and perfected; but, notwithstanding professions, these schools have | been in most instances mere moulds, and if @ girl | came out with any individuality, any freshness and originality, it was in spite of the training. ‘The old idea of “woman’s sphere’’ was at the bottom of all these superstructures. However masked it might be, the REAL alM OF THE SCHOOLS was to make women more charming. When the times demanded that, in order to marry well, & girl should be taught something mora than embroidery and music, she studied mathematics and the sciences. She puzzled her pretty head with geometric figures and algebraic symbols, actually learned the names of most of the constella ions, and went through her Physiology and chemistry and rhetoric like a good child, Sut she did all this with ONE EYE UPON THE BOYS, The neighboring college had consoled herself with unlimited candy, whilo secretly longing for the time to come when she could flirt to her heart’s content, and end tne final flirtation by an “advantageous settlement.” Such has been the character of young Jadies’’ boarding schools that mothers who wished their daughters to become really noble women have avoided them, making up the dei- clency as best they could. Just 1n proportion a8 women have been consid. ered woith educating for their own sakes, witiout any reference to filling matrimonial orders, have the schools improved. Ideas are the hats of every- Uhing, and according as the idea is nobie or ignobie so is the thing sought for. The estimate of woman aud her capabilities and her right to individuality 4s constantly growing better, and our schools are ' constantly rising to the higher level. A few years | 90 @ rich man became possessed of a noble ambl- ton. He had thoughts of betier th ngs for American women than bad been realized in the past, and his ; thought chrystaized into a beautitu) and beneficent deed. He conceived that there should be universt- ties for women, amply endowed and richly fur- nished with ¢ery possible aid to literary and scientific pursuits, He proposed that such women as desired it should have precisely such an educa- Uon as men have. He did not suppose that COLLEGE BRED WOMEN would lose, during the process of education, their womanly instincts any more tian college-bred men lose their manly instincts by uhe same process; but he did suppose that through their equal education they would be ina position to recognize and win i | husbands who would be their equals, and he supposed that after having won them they would be able to keep them. So Matthew Vassar founded Vassar College. He chose @ desirable locauon and erecced buildings admira- bly adapted to-the purposes in view—buildings full of sunny, Me country scenery from every window. ‘the lege was endowed, the sclentitic depart. ments were furnished, the library was col- Jected and the doors were thrown open to young women. Since that time—seven years ago— four classes have graduated—classes worthy of any college. Any one with a eurlosity in regard to the mental statns of the alumni should have heard the lecture of Miss Glazier, of the Class of 1568, delivered beiore a college society un Tuesday night last. ‘rhe listener, h wever critical, would have been forced to forego the old time sneering conclusion “VERY GOOD FOR A WOMAN,” and pronounce the address wonderfully good for a man, ; ‘rhe graduates having played at Commencement on Tuesday, according to approved college trad:- tions, on Wednesday came the serious close of their coilege lite, Early in the morning “there was hurrying to and fro,” for the happy girls were not only to receive their diplomas, but they were to start for home before the day should close. The cor- ridors were tuil of trunks ready locked and strapped for the journey, and the rooms were full of dishev- elled beauties attimng themselves in nervous haste in clouds (white ones) and rainbows. The fathers and mothers and big brothers were waiting with sympathetic interest for the appearance of the dear and lovely Minervas, and carriages, freighted with guests, rolled over the smooth avenues and emptied tuemselves one by one into the college parlors. At ten o'clock everyboay was in tne chapel—trns- tees, professors, tutors, graduates, alumul, and the public, On one side of the plattorm were the of the college, amou; them, Matthew Vassar, — Jr., jensen . Lossing, Ira Harris, William Kelly, ‘Thomas Cornell, Samuel F. B. Morse, Dr. Nathan Bishop, Dr. Buckingham and Cornelius DuBois. On the otner side were the professors, notable amoung them Dr, Raymond, the President; Maria Mitchel, the astronomer; Mixa Avery, the college physician, aud Ritter, the professor of music. Around these stars clustered the lesser lights, among them Miss Le Row, the young elocutionist, wnse Rees and skillul labors were amply evidenced by CHARMING NATURALNESS OF TIE YOUNG LADIES im the deltvery of their orations and essays. The exercises were opened by a Latin “Saluta- tory.” pronounced by Miss Emma Lucinda Hawks, of Rochester. Then followed “Theory before Pro- gress,” by Marie VU.

Folsom, of Concurd, Mass. and @ grand ‘Duo,’ which was rendered by Misses Hopper and Raymond. The essays and orations were upon live topi:s, and proved that their authors had learned to think instead of learning to use other peopie'’s thoughts, All, even the m, which was beautiful, were full of hints of better things in the fature, when the BREAKING CHAINS SHALL HAVE BEEN ALL BROKEN and the world is spinvaaily free, The beautiful valedictorian, @ provegee of Kalph Waldo Emerson, advised :he Trustees, in the sweetest tones but with the deepest wisdom, “to let light come to the col- lege from every side, to open the door to every form of belief, political or celigions, reuientbes, ing thas what migut be darkness to them might be the Hght needed foranother.”? It is plain from the specimen work of the class of '71 that Vassar Coliege 1s a piace where mind is developed instead of being measured and pruned or stretched to suit some absolute standard, set up by dogmatic men, ignorant as all men are of the whole truth. ‘rhe programme finished, the class received their diplomas from President Raymond. ‘the numes of tue graduates are as follows;--lda Wood Adams, Mary Clinton, Awelia Wiigus Esty, Ellen Minot Fol- son, Emma Howell Garnsey, Marie Utheman Glover, Emma Lucinda Havks, Dora Hileman, Euphemia Topper, Mary Urocker House, Kale Gordon sewett, Louise La bug, Saran Borden Darfee Lewis, Kato Angusta Loveland, Fannie Zerviah Lovell, ‘Sarah Preston Moaks, Mary Shelton Nicoll, Susan Ray- mond, Annie Elizabeth Rowe, Angie Louise Sun- ford, Clarissa Ann Stockwell. .
