There were over one hundred of them, ander command of the courtly Colonel Lefferts, the * Gets’? of the Seventh regiment, or, more properly voow & position on the stage and played a march when the Brooklyn 80lGrers marched into the audi- torium, their brigh niforms and pleasant faces beimg a special ‘t Tor opera glasses in the gal- lerien.

In the centre of the dress circle hang two American flags gracefully entwined, and to the right and leit ol the stage were siacks of muskets, surmounted by Twenty-tirst regiment guidons, When the repast was concluded Colonel Austin, of hs Decgpecvensa, calied his command to order, = Ri ler Rovert L.

Colonel Austin-replied in a humorous vein, and closed by saying that their reception exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. He paid @ high compliment to the Twenty-first, and invited the meinbers of that organization to return the visit. Mayor H, G. Eastman was next introduced, (He should have been the first oae presented to the Brookiyn people, but some one had blundered.) In benalt of the citizens of Poughkeepsie and in accord- @uce with a resolution of the Common Council he tendered the regiment the ireedom of the city. “The First division, National Guard, State of New York,” was responded to by Lieutenant Colonel Gil- dersleve, of the Twelfth New York, He alluded to ‘the late riot in New York, clarging that everywhere the soldiers performed their duty mi My. Major Gildersleve was followed by Captain H. R. Woouin, formerly of the One Hundred and Fistieth New York volunteers. The Captain 1s @ well known wag, and his speech was chock full of merriment, fully sustaining that reputation. ‘The festivities were then closed by Miss Julia Alex- ander, Poughkeepsie’s favorite, singing “The Star Spangled Banner,” the soldiers joizing in the cho- Tus, making the scene one of the liveliest interest. ‘This morning several hours were speut by the members of the Forty-seventh in visiting, under es- cort, the various points of interest, AN ACCIDENT, One carriage load came near meeting with a fatal accident, The horses were coming down @ at the State Hospital grounds, when suddenly becom- bed frghtened the driver lost all control of them an speaking, “Veterans of the National Guarda.” | time were Judge Voorhees, of the Sastern district of Brooklyn; Sergeant Major Lethbridge, of aoe ttle cohort marched aown to the | thec,ey Roventhy’ Gapeal H ae ae oe boat, headed by Graiulia’s Seventh Regt | seventh, and Joseph Commose, one of the guests. ment Band, .and wearing the badge and | Judge Voorhies received severe but not serious ibbon of the association; and, in the opinion of en- Airely disinterested parties, they were “a very tine body of men.” They were bound on their annual Injuries about the head and shoulders and is in great .

The organ- ization which is now known as the Seventh was formed in June, 1806, and comprised four com- panies, In 182i they became @ battalion, under the name of the “National Guard,’ which name was adopted in honor | of the corps commanded by Lafayette in France. On the 1st of October, 1825, they were oMciaily numbered in the state militia as the Twenty-seventh regiment, and were known as such unui the passage of the law of 1847, when they be- came the Seventh, and have since continued under | that number. By @ comparatively recent law the | tale “National Guard,”’ which had been adopted td them, was conferred by the Legisiature on all regi- | ments of the active State militia, Toe oldest member of the command 1s Colonel Thomas M. Adriance, WhO was present yesterday, and Whose record dates from May 18, 1819—iorty-two years. Among other ancient and honorable veterans are Colonel W. R. Vermilyea, Lieutenant Colonel Cyrus H. Loutrel, W. D. Briggs and Sergeant Em- | bory, who have each served about forty years; P. D. | Braisted, Jr., G. L. Arrowsmith and Charles B. Bost- wick, twenty-five years, and Colonel James Price, twenty years. These, however, do not comprise all the names whose services date back for those pe- mods, but they give an idea of why this is such a | “fine body of men.” THE CRUISE yesterday was of the most enjoyable description, the | steamer proceeding up the river to Newburg Bay, and stopping for a brief visit at Iona Island on the return. Despite the faét that the morning looxed | clondy the day proved to be the most propitious that could be desired, and tne glorious Hudson never, ce tt first trickled its way through the Highlands, looked More magniiicent. On the way up the river numerous iriends of the regiment, who reside in the | beautiiul villas that cluster along the slopes of | Mount Washington, Tarrytown and Irvington, had fung oul their punting, and tiny white handker- | obiefs Kuttered pretty salutes irom lawn aud val- | cony. The river’s bosom was white with the sails of pleasure and commercial craft, and the shores | were buried in @ wealth of richest verdare. ON BOARD THE ARMENIA everything was friendsnip, and it was a strange | sight to see men enjoy themselves in the hearty man- | mer that these veterans did, It was essentally a | “stag party.” for there was not a lady on board, and Ubis was the chief! reason why the sight was | strange. The “refining imfuence of female so- ciety”? was not there—nothing but ‘a lot of horrid men,” as Susan B. Anthony would or might say. But they were men with big hearts and genial matures, each toward the other, aud the “refining influence” was their own—and plenty of it. THEY DIDN'T SING HYXNS, not even for the delectation of the Sabbath school children irom Pougukeepsie, whom they met at lona, but they sang sweetly and harmoniously, both on the boat and on the isiand, such pathetic Gitues as “Old Grimes 1s Dead,’ “Hash,” ‘What ts the Use of Repining! “Mary bad a Little Lamb,” “The Crows,’ “Tbe Star-Bangled Spanner,” and “sich like;’’ and Colonel Fowler and others of the “Morning Glory Coterie” told nursery stories when they were not interruptea, Colonel Oakey, too, was | invaluable in conducting the musical exercises, and when the répertoire of the crowa@ was exhausted | he actually composed a song or two extem- | poraneously, besides delivering an address to the Sabbath school children at the island, One of the | femaie teachers, as tue “vets” were marching down to the boat, remarked to an elderly femaie scholar, “Ain't they a splendid party?" Jf anybody had seen the way Delmonico’s waiters hau to fy around | on the boat, both going and returning, and the splendid “spread” on a groaning table amidships, they Would at once have known why this was such | a “tine body of wen.” Among the distinguished members present were Colonel Lefferts, Coilonei Emmons Clark, command- ing the Seventh; Colonel John Fowler, Jr., Colonel Jobn Oakey, Colonel Vermilyea, Coionel L. C, stum- way, Colonel W. H. Rivlet, Major Joseph B. Young, Major ©. H. Meday, Lieutenant Colonel Loutrel, D. M. Holdridge, Robert C. Rathbone and the youth; ful P. D.

Upon entering the southern gate of the | Highlands, however, the clouds jifted and | the rain ceased failing. On the main deck aft all was mirth and joliity, O'Brien's Forty- seventh regiment band discoursing excellent music, And saluted West Point with “The Star Spangled Bapner” as the steamer headed towards Stony Point. At Newburg a vast throng had assembled upon the piers and Will tops, aud greeted the excur- sionists with immense cheering, while from Wash- Angton’s Headquarters a squad from the Nineteenth Orange county regiment fired saivos of artillery.

At two o'clock this afternoon the Twenty-first and Forty-seventh met at the armory of the tormer, the Twenty-first being reinforced by Company H, of Fishkill Landing, which arrived on an early train. ‘Whea line was formed the procession proceeded through tne principal streets of the city. The march up Main street was a fine one aud as the companies filed by the crowds on the walks cheered and clappea their nands vociferously, while fags and handker- chiefs without number were waved from windows and housetops. ‘fhe line of march ended at East. man Park. Fully 8,000 people had assembied and the grand stand was filled with elegantiv dressed ladies, while throngs of men, women and children fileu along the romantic path.

At ball- ast three P, M. the regiments marched jn with rams beating and colors Oying and formed in ine in the centre of the lower park, Opposite tae grand stand. Sud.enly there was a rumor that PRESIDENT GRANT and his party were to put in an appearance. report ran like wildfire througn the crowd had a good founaation, The President actually did come and it happened in this way:—It was known that he was on a visit to Staatsburg and that he was to pass here on the Hudson River Ratiroad this afternoon, A special train was to bring him here | from Staatsburg and then he was to take the Jast train for New York, due here fifteen minutes later. When the special train arrived Mayor Eust- man was notified that the President was at the depot waiting for the fast train. ‘The Mayor, together with Postmaster Smith and Alderman Parker started with two carriages for tne depot, where the distinguished party was met, A hasty introduction followed, when the Mayor broached the object of bis call, At first Mr. Hoey, one of the Presidential party, objected, fearing there was not time enough and that the train wouid be missed, Postmaster Smith assured all that they could be conveyed to Eastman Park and back In | ample time, when consent was given, and the visitors were hurried to the park. They were at | once driven to the reviewing stand, ou the south | side, and then there was AN OVERWHELMING RUSH. to get a glimpse of the Commander-in-Cnief of the armies of the United States. The President 81000 the gaze of the thousands with composure for & moment, when the word was given and the Forty- seventh passed him in review. ‘The regiment ne marched better,and created a fine impression. ‘The | review occupied but five minutes’ time, when the Presidenual party resumea their seats in their car- eB. At this juncture Mayor Eastman, taking off his hat, proposed three cheers for the President of the United States, The response came immediately from thousands of throats, making the weikin ring, and three more were given immediately after, an: then the carriages, with their occupants, were driven in great haste to the railroad depot, where the fast train was waiting. The President and party en and were soon whirled away to New ork. After the excitement died away the regiments formed in line again and marched to Market street, | where the Forty-seventh broke ranks, the members repairing to their respectuve quarters for supper, Alter supper they proceeded to the depot and em- barked for New York on a special train, amid sa- lutes and cheers, WHERE THE MONEY WENT TO. Some time ago President Grant passed here on When he left the railway restaurant he accidentally leit bis wailet on the counter, con- taining fitteen dollars. He telegraphed back to put the money in the Soidicrs’ Monument fand, and such a disposiuion was made of It. To-day the carriage containing the President and Mayor Eastman was driven past the Soidters’ Memorial Fountain, Mayor Fastman takiog occasion to draw the president’s attenuon to it. The President replied. “Well, 1 am giad | have seen it, for now I know where my money went to."

This remarkable phenomenon, which arrived in ‘this city a few days since and was shortly to have been exhibited to the public, died last evening at No. 6 Bowdoin street, The child, a giri, had two heads, four arms and two legs, all upon’ a «ingle body, and the two portions of the body were 4o inti mately connected that the death of one rendered that of the other inevitable. The child had enjoyed excellent health from her birth, nine months ago, until within two weeks, at which time one half ex- hibited signs of tjness, This, however, was but temporary. It recovered and was bright and play- ful. Stace reaching Koscon, a few days since, the other half was taken sick, and died at five ociock yesterday afteruoon, the other sur. viving oe ye “ap ned in the evening. ~~ spectacle was equally novel, strange and unparal- leed. Upon one end of the body re the head of the dead infant; u the other of the live one with itseyes suill bright and curious and ite lungs in fall breathing order. All that medical aid could accomplish was done, but it was found un- availing. The child died in the presence of its pa- rents, The corpse presents the appearance of two infants asleep. Apparently they escaped the ordl- nary suffering incident to death, for the coun- tenances had the expression of repose. The dispo- sition of the body 1s not determined upon.

He 1s on his way to St. Albans, Vt., to meet Mra. Sherman. In @ conversation with your correspondent this evening the General expressed the opiniou that General Grant would be renominated and re-elected, and he thought it would be the best thing for the country. So far aa he has been able to judge irom his travels in the South and elsewhere everything in the conntry 1s prosperous under Sranes administration and there is no occasion for a change. The General expresses the opinion that in a short time nothing more will be heard of the Ku Kiux. AS It 1s. the baaciry about them have been greatly exaggerated, This fact is proved, the General says, by the yield of the cotton crop this year at the South. Were the stories told about the Ku Klux true the General thinks tne cotton crop would have been much less. As it is the yield is greater than in former years, General Sherman leaves In the morning.

Daring the second inning a general row occurred about some decision the um- ire had made, and for a few moments the prospect: lor a free fight was cheering 1m the extreme, Finally, however, the affair was settled, when the game again went on, and was finally won by the ‘Trentons, with a score of 19 to 8 COULTER’S CONSTITUE A Disappointed Voter—He Commits an As- sanlt on Judge Coulter—Complninant and Jud Some time ago Police Justice James E. Coulter, of the Yorkville Police Court, as is alleged, promised to procure work in the Central Park for Larry McNair, one of his Twenty-second ward supporters. The Justice forgot all about his promise, as politicians are proverbial for doing, and Larry was “left out in the cold.” This victim of political ingratitude yes- terday afternoon met the Justice opposite the York- ville Police Court. Larry, in language more peril- nent than polite, coolly called the judicial gentleman “a iar” and “a son of a sea cook,” and cast ao pntation of canine descent on the jolly Judge, his. was too touch, aud the Justice “went for aim’ re gardless of the rules of the London P.

Justice Coulter smoothed his ruMed clothes and temper, walked across to the Court, and ascended the bench When he had disposed of the cases waiting his adjudicauon he ordered Larry to ve brought up. The taiter, m his torn shirt sleeves, was arraigned before the bench, and the complain- ant discharged him after administering a severe reprimand.

He demanded that I should return to him, but | positively refused, and he Spied for a divorce upon the ground of desertion, and none other. He employed an attorney by the name of D, W. Hen- nen, then of New Orleans, but now of New York city, and William Hunt, of New Orleans, acted for me. in February, 1855, @ decree was granted divorcing him from bed and board—the law of that Stace requiring one year to elapse before a aivurce could be entered from the bonds of imatrimouy, or What was called a final divorce.

Prior to this I had ad- vised with Governor Foote in relation to the same matters, In 1859 Colonel Fair, as my attorney, ad- vised me that the flual divorce had been granted; and, after being assured it was so, I married Colonel Fair, We were marriet in the town of Shasta, and soon after left for Yreka, where Colonel Fair was then settlea in business. It was here that MY ONLY COILD was born, in the month of August, 1860, Judge Baggs is now living in this city and knows of our marriage, and Knows also that Colonel Pair was poor then, and always was poor. [did not marry Volonel Fair for money, and there is no trath in the base charge made against me that { was extrava- gantand impoverished him. I append to the end Ol this statement the altidavit of Judge Bagg: sustatning me fully on these points. I di all my own work when we kept house in Yreka and kept no servants. Every person who lived in Yreka at the tune we lived there will bear me witness of the truth of what I say. Colonel Fair lived only three months after we left Yreka. In Octover of the year 1361 Colonel Fair made his ar- rangements (0 move to San Francisco, and sent me and my child in advance, while hie remained to close | up his business, expecting soon to follow, and on tne Ist of December of the same yeur he came down and seitied here. J Was stoppiag with my motner in @ house she had rented irom wr. tHitclicock, on Bush street, where the Brooklyn Hotel now stands, Colonel Fair came immediately to the house and we lived there together IN PEACE AND QUIETNESS till he died. fe sent his books and other things to Dr. Murphy's office and took aa ofice there with him uuth he could get one. It has beea cruelly re- ported that Colonel Fair was jeaious of me aud that we bad separated before bis death, This is ALL SLANDER, and has in it no truth. On the morning of hisdeatn he leit the house a8 usual aud Went to mis ollee, Soon after Dr. Hitchcock calied to see him, and wae told by me that he was at his office. He went to his oftice aud m atiemptiog to open the door found somerhing heavy agulust it, and pushing it open found that the obstruction was the dead body of Colonel Fair, He had been shot through the head With a pistol ball, and the world said he had com- mitted suicide. Dr. Hitencock came immediately to our house and intormed me of his death, Colonel Phelps left Colonel Fair buta few minures belore his death In Dr. Murphy’s office, near the corner of Montgomery and Washington streets, Dr, Murphy told my mother and myself, the same morning 0: his death, that Colonel Fair had left a lever with bim, 1m whieb he stated that his wile and family nad no- thing whatever to do in causing his death. Dr. Murphy was requested afterward to produce the Jetter, as the papers were accusing me of the cause of his death, This request was made at diferent times, and 1 have begged of him to produce it, but he will-noj. THERE 18 NO SCANDAL that the ingenulty of man can devise but what has been against me and circulated with the rapidity of ligutuing since this unfortunate affair of mine with Mr. Crittenden. It has been said tuat Colonel Fair was Sherif of Siskiyou couaty and that he absconded with a large sum of money be- longing to the county, and that 1, his wile, ranaway with a man by the name of Gordon. Now, there was a man by the name of Fair Sheriff of tnat county, and he is reported to have absconded, but whether he had a wile or not I am unable to say, or whether @ man by the name of Gordon ran away with her, His name was Samuel Fair, but in no way was he connected with my husband; and as for Gordon, I never saw him, It bas been stated that i SHOT My PaRrTNed in the Tahoe House, in Virginia City, for attempting to raise the American flag over my house, and that Mr. Crittenden defendea me. Also that! walked the streets of tnat city with a Confederate flag in one hand and a pistol in the other, All this is false, and one of the meanest things ever utiored, There was falsehood enough uttere just me on my trial, under the solemnity of an oath, to crush a dozen moriais like me, without resorting to whole- saie mendacity like this, This 18 all & malicious Manufacture, In the first place, I never had a er im business nor in the Tahoe House. I never ad a Confederate fag, ana never saw one. | never walked the streetsof Virginia City with a pistol in my hand or a flag of any kind, or the streets of any city with ether. I kept the Tahoe House in Virginia City, and kept it alone, About Christmas of 1863 & Mana engaged In the toy business kept a store under my nouse. He placed a large Christmas tree, covered with dolls, arums, fags, fifes and other articles velonging to a toy store, upon my baicony; my boarders com- plained of the opstruction; | then requested the toy merchant to take it away and put it upon his own premises; he refused and said be had a right wo pus it there, when I called my brother, 0. D. Hunt, who was then acting as my clerk, and had been for some time, to come and cut it down, which he did. Some of my friends came and told me that the crowd out- side misunderstood my motive in removing the tree and supposed it was on account of tne fags which were upon it. 1 at once stepped to the front of the baicony and explained the case to them; adaing, to remove all doubt about it, any gendeman among them who so desired had my full permis. sion to place a flag upon my house, and I think some one did do so. The toy merchant also sent nis clerk to raise a flag over my house, to which | objected, as he had not treated me like a gentleman; but he persisted, whereupon [ asked the loan of a pocket knife from a Mr. Walters, and attempted to cut the rope, for which act the wy man brought @ suit against ine which resulted in a verdict against him, and being tried for the act of aggression was fined $75, nd now & Jew words I wish to submit to the pub- lic about THR MONRY it Is alleged was given me by Mr. Crittenden, I kept the Tahoe House thirteen months, and after paying all my debts and $15,000 on a house on A street, which I furnished with my own money except two rooms furnisned by Mr, Crittenden, | had Jeit_ over six thousand dollars. ‘the Tahoe House contained thirty-seven rooms, thirty-one of which were rented, bringing in each night over fifty dollars.

When Colonel Faig died I had never seen or known Mr. Crittenden. .He sought me and found me and Would notiet me go. 1 married MR. SNYDER to avoid Mr. Crittenden, and, as his own letters prove, he would not then leave me. All the force and power of whe San Francisco bar were aud are to-day my enemies, because a brother Jawyer had been killed by me in a moment of unconsciousness, and, as my God knows, of irresponsibility. Every effort of my aitorueys, made in my behalf on trial, Were treated as idle chattering, or at least 1° ap- peared so to me, and those who sought my biood drank of it to their fill, If there is a just God who rules and directs the judgments of men | shail live to satisty the world that I have been,'to say the least of it, greatly wronged. There ls one other matter to which I wish to refer. IN TRE SPRING OF 1862 I leased and furnished a house on Mission street, in this city. It was besween Second and Third streets, Ipurchased my furniture on credit, 1 kept aboaraing and lodging house. ‘Ihe Legisiature of the State were in session here, having been driven out by the flood at Sacramento. Among my tenants were Messrs. Wilcox, Pemberton, Tompkins and others, members of the Legislature. After the Legislature adjourned I had a vacant house and had not yet paid tor Poy marnltare, 1 was obliged to seck aid, and as usband, Colonel Fair, was a prominent Mason when alive, I made APPLICATION TO THE MASONIC ORDER for assistance. Walter ee bre conveyed the ap- Diication to Mr. Laidley, and he to the proper au- thority. In ONKE tO | application a committee composed xander Abell and two others called on me and were shown through my house and saw my poverty and acknowledged it. My re- lief was embraced in te tollowmng language, ad- aressed to me, by one of that commitiee:—‘‘Weil, Mrs. Falr,@ woman with such a pretty face ought to be able to support herself without applying to the Masons.”” When on my trial I was allowed to go with George Knox, Judge Quint accompanying, to sce Mr. Abell for the purpose of his iaenulying me as the party he had called upon. But he refused to see me. Of the thousand and one things charged vo me and my dishonor, since my conviction. I can only add they are pure inventions and all false. I desire that the newspapers will leave me alone. I ask the charity of their silence. Let me settle my troubles with tie legal tribunals where Lnow am, and where I expect to fina exact justice.

Ne. 1. _ Al entertainment, mostly musical, was given yes- terday by the pupils of Grammar School No. 1, on the occasion of the graduation of eleven young ludies. Among the visitors present were Mr. Kiddle, the City Superintendent; Judge Van Vorst, Commis stoner of the Department of Public Instruction, and Mr. Hunter, President of the Normal College. Alter Some excellent vecal and instrumental music, under the direction of Ms, Rexford, and two or three well spoken alalogues, Judge Yan Vorst addressed the school. He spoke in the hignest terms of the Prin- cipal, Miss Mary J, "Leary, saying that he had heard so uch of the efficient Management of No.1 that he had long wished to visit it, He believed that Mr. Hunter nad been try- ing to prevail upon Miss O’Leary to accept the pre- fessorship of Latio in the Normal College, but he ‘was glad that she prelerrea her present position. Mr. Van Vorst was followed by Mr. Kididle, the City Superintendent. He felt a deep interest tn the school as he begun his work asa teacher there thrty-four years ago. In many respects he considered it the most interesting school in the city, or even on the Contunent. Only three-quarters of a century ago it Was @ little school, where a few outcasts were gath- ered by charity, and from it had sprung the great system of public education, Now nearly one hundred thousand boys and giris atvend school in New York city, and there are over two hundred public schvols, No. 1 has had a good report all the way. It is one of the most efficient <chools in the city of New York, Mr. Van VorsT was glad that most of the exercises were musical, He believed that music was one of the most valuable of educational agencies, Mr. HUNTER, of tne Normal Coliege, expressed great pleasure in visiting No. 1. In examining com- Petitors for entrance to the college he had found that this school ranked exceedingly high. After many more pleasant things were said of Miss O'Leary, the Vice Principal, Miss Fitazibbon, the grade teachers and the pupils, the exercises closed with the distribution of prizes anu a vale+ dictory essay. A beautiful basket of flowers was presented to the Principal by the girls of the first class, The names of the graduates are as follows Mary Agnes Dunn, Kate Deaken, Eilie Hurley, Mary Sullivan, Lizzie Crowe, Lena Kinnear, Kate Taggart, Deha O’Connell, Lucy Buckley, Susan Dewitt, Anges lina Simons. Grammar School No. 20. A large number of the triends of Grammar School No, 20 were in attendance yesterday at the distribu. tion of the seml-annua! certificates, The exercises were very interesting and very creditable to both teachers and pupus, CONTESTED CLAIMS. “A Red in Pickle” for the Noard of Ednen-. tion—One of the LKesulta of a Complicated School Syntem. Old debts or unsatisfied claims, as a general rule, are not the ry best foundations in the world to build big or little fortunes upon, but the little crowd of earnest talkers who assembled last evening at Masonic Hall seemed to think quite otherwise, The fact is that debts and claims are mighty good things, when the debta be- long on the side of the house in which the “push- ers’’ of unsatisfied claims have AN ALL ABIDING INTEREST, if not a permanent location. The little crowd at whe Hall Jast evening were claimants for payment for ‘work done for the Board of Education, and they un. derstood this pretty weil, judging from the way they intend to go to work to get their money, All the debts they had any talk about were, in their view of the case, owed by the Board, Hence thelr abiding interest in the Board, ‘rhe whole story of the meeting is just this:—The men claim that the Board owes seventy-five men about $19,000 for work done to schoo! houses in various ways, such as repairing, plumbing, &c. The greater number, it appears, worked for contractors, who were employed by the local Board of Trustees, and many of them were employed directly by the trustees themselves. When their bills were sent in for payment, tuey say, the treasu- rer couldn’t accommodate them, and told them flatly the Board didn’t owe them any money— + NOT A RED. “Way not?” they exclaimed, ‘haven't we done our work well?” “Oh yes, that may be,” was the reply, “but that doesn’t show anything, does it? The work done was done by order of local boards for the most part, and there is DO money appro- priated to pay for it,’ Thus the case stands at present, bat the gentie- men who hela the meeting last evening say they mean business, and are nut going to give up the ghost without kicking pretty lively against the pricks. One of them remarked that one of the Commission- ers had told him ‘hat tae money wouldn't be aid short of a lawsuit, and, said thus claimant, as ie LOOK his seat, “if we can make common eanse in a case well and good, if not, why I’m ‘goin to go it alone any how.” The meeting aay resolved that a claimant from each ward In which there was a clatmant should make it his duty to hunt up ali other claimants in the ward he could find, and that then the Board of Education wouid hear from the party of the first part. A com- mittee was appointed to carry out the programme. ‘Will the Board squirm ? FUNERAL OF TRE LATE ¢. V. ROOSEVELT. The faneral of the late ©, V. 8.

CLOSING DAY OF THE SPORTS. The Rollicking Rifleomen Crowning Their King Fun and Frivolity—Good Sport and Good Shooting—The Award of Prizes.

No doubt this terrible swear influenced the clerk of the migbuly, for though he seemed inclined to frow! and play dirty pranks in the early morning, nis bet~ ter sense, if not better feeling, caused him to relent,, and the bright, warm sun came out full of they pleasantest smiles and looked down benignan' upon the children of the Germao land, a8 plainly they assembled With | ‘yo. st, mn HALE DOUBTING HEARTS a, under tne treés of the pleasant wood.

As the day wore on members of the corps, wi! their families and their friends, began to arrive considerable numbers, and by one o’clock P.

Traly it was a gratifying spectacie for a German] eye, and the solid, impressive lvoking men tl strutted round the grounds in all the glory of forest green, with romantic jooking slouched hats ant feathers, which were in amusing contrast to th somewhat every day-!ooking faces beneath, seeme to chuckle at the contemplation of the beautiful forms of their decidedly better halves, However, the great feature of the assemblage was that eve one seemed to be supremely happy in a dull, matter< of-fact kind of way, which of itself was not withou® itg interest to the outside observers, j One figure deserves especial mention, for 1 moved abont a self-satisNed pillar of ostentatiously quiet enjoyment. ‘fhe captain of the Schuetzens was, @ happy man or he must be THE BEST ACTOR IN NRW YORK. 2 It needed not to recall Delsarte’s lectures on ex: pression to know what was within the captain's! breast. On his face beamed an expression which) satu in the largest capitals—"Sir, J am happy !’?)

Having marched up this hill, in imitation of another mighty monarch, our valiant captain ond his shooting men marched down again, and the ex ercise leaving evident traces upon the rotund forms, o1 the men in green, the captain prudently called halt and dressed his men, not to meet the battle’ shock, but ay to listen to avery short address from himself, after which the jolly shooters nearly! exhausted what breath they had left in giving the captain @ rousing but somewhat BROKEN-WINDED CHEER. ) A grave suspicion liaunts the mind of the HERALD reporter that the speech was in some way con- nected with lager; for he observed that when any approach to enthusiasm was manifested during the, day it was alwaya iu connection with that charming beverage. However, as he was completely out- flanked by the unexpected march down tue hill, tha reporter wou’t vouch for what the gallant captain said. The dismissal of the shooters left every one to pursue the bent of his or her inclination for an hour, or two before the important ceremony of CROWNING THE KING would take place, And 80 each one did just as he listed, In spite of the heat of the day there were quite a number of young people, whose consciences allowed them to go on dancing at a surprising rate, and this form of amusement Was kept up with vigor late into the evening. For less euterprisin people a large puppet snow had been erected, and jor two mortal hours hundreds of people remaimed. out under a broiling sun to be delignted by THE VAGARIES OF A PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW. Nothing could exceed the pleasure which the audience derived from the mishaps and wallopings of the puppets, and the HERALD reporter experi- enced a sense of reiief when the performance came to an end; for he had begun W fear lest some of she plethoric Dutchmen should die from apoplexy, so much were they agita‘ed by this poor amusement. ‘The next event on the programme was the crown- ing of the king, appointed to take place at the foot of the hul, on platform raised spectaily jor the occa- sion, and as s00n as i THE cumekrn nae DROPPED on the puppet stage the people fan to cont te in front of the platform, aOeTCuNy, muwavers was occasioned In collecting the scattered memvers of the Schuetzen corps and marshalling them for the | omg ceremony.

After a few words of explanation from the captain a pretty German girt caine forward and recited at lengta a German poem in praise of the Schuetzen corps in general and tho one on the ground in particular, which the bashful gentlemen accepted in good part. At the conclusion of this ey! jong glorification. of the shooters the young lady fastened THE KINGLY BADOR on the breast of the victor and the people cheered him vigorously.
