7 n ’ THE JUBILEE. Gala Day at the Coliseum After the Fete to Terpsichore. BRILLIANT ARRAY OF FEMALE FASHIONS, Strange Freak of the Manag- ing Directors. Madame Leutner Left Out of the Programme. ~ NEW ATTRACTIONS PROMISED. 4 . { Horace Greeley and Other Artists Expected. Boston, June 27, 1872, ‘The attendance at the Coliseum to-day was very large when compared to the numbers we were in the habit of seeing before the arrival of President Grant. This event drew quite a large number of visitors to the town, many of whom have not yet departed. The ball last night, also, was not without its infuence on the attendance to-day. The ladies, for the most part, were too tired after the night's dancing to return to their homes to-day; thev, therefore, availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing the European bands again before leaving. Owing to the unusual influx of ladies the hall of the Coliseum to-day presented a rather lively appearance; but there ts reason to be- Neve that to-morrow will behold it gloomy and deserted, looking all the sadder for ita transient Drilliancy. If the majority even of those present this afternoon were paying members the finances will be considerably improved; but this is a point ‘Bpon which it is next to impossible to obtain relia- ble information. However, from what can be gathered from the scraps of conversation one con- tinually hears, it is certain that Boston pays very little towards the big show about which the inhab- itants blow so much; for the most part of the Hub- ites como under the expressed denomination of “dead heads,” while the real backbone of the affair are the strangers who have the temerity to venture into this huge toddling village. It is melandholy to contemplate the backwardness of tnis people in all that relates to the practical business of life. In their ambitious jumping they nave overleaped them- selves and laid the foundation of misery and sorrow for unknown generations of New Englanders; but, as they are renfarkably selfish, they probably don’t mind this so long as their vanity is satisfied. Anxions to shine, they instruct their young women in singing oratorios before they have acquired the Much more useful acquirement of washing linen. THE PROGRAMME TO-DAY gave further proof of the execrable taste of the directing body, whoever they may be, as well as of their want of common sense. Most people expected What actually came to pass, that the audience to- day would have been larger than usual and more Fepresentative. It was, therefore, of the first import- ‘ance to make a pleasing impression on their minds in order that they might go home and excite the wonder and the envy of their neighbors. On such an occasion people of ordinary ousiness ability ‘Would have presented the most attractive features of the entertainment, and made a selection of music likely to appe:il to the popular testes, Your Boston committee men were too dull to perceive these things, or to draw conclusions from them. Madame Leutner, who is one of the chief attrac- tions for every one, was left out of the bill alto- gether, and Madame Rudersdorif introduced the Solo part of Handel's “Let tne Bright Seraphim,” with a trumpet obligato. which was of course in- tended a3 a set off to Madame Leutner's flute oblt- ge? on Tuesday; Dut the execution, though not only displayed Madime Rudersdorit’s want of sound judgment in courting comparison. VOICES RESEMBLE INCIPLES ony in getting cracked now and then, but they are by no means eternal, and prima donnas wouid do ‘well to remember this fact. Madame Rudersdortt's trumpeter for the oroazion. was a Bostonian ce- peoeity, oné Of the Hubite liliputians; he under- k the diMcult task of eccompanying the lady and joc dahin ar own horn at the same tiie, succeedin; admirably in his own estimation, and if one oul only wrap himself up in his philosophy there woul be endiegs amusement in watching the antics of this Jubilee microcosm, but a fund of patience would be needed. - BROOKLYN'S FIDDLING PRODIGY. The only real novelty was the production of “Little Lambert,” Brooklyn’s five-year-old prodigy, to play on the violin before the immense gudience, which he did with much coolness and pecarees » This atom of musical humanity must. ave been born with a fiddie, or at least aJew's harp, in piace of the traditionary silver spoon. I don’t believe much in ja es, but this youngster is remarkable if only for his cheek. Aiter Brook- lyn’s prodigious fiddler had done the Garde Re- publicaine played selections from “Lucia,” the audience displaying an unwearled enthnstastic ap- reclation. Strauss, too, received his daily ovation. e English band gave a grand selection fiom Auber, with solos for the cornet by Mr. Ellis; euphonium, Mr. Sanford; clarionet, Mr. Spencer. They were seenenty and warinly applauded, the audience making emphatic recalls. The programme was brought to @ close by the famous German Band ying the overture from “Der Freischutz,” and ppearing amid a storm of applausé. THE NINTH REGIMENT BAND. To-morrow the band of the Ninth Regiment will appear as an organization, but its chances of achieving fame are somewhat limited, in view of the hold the foreign bands have obtained in the pular affection. Levy, too, had better remain at ome, unless he wishes to see his questionable lan- Tels fade away be‘ore the magnificent exe- cution of the yish-looking Frenchmen whose silver notes charm the Jubilee audience. I¢ is rather doubtful whether the appearance of 's Own” will be likely to awaken any very con- siderable enthusiasm, but if they were only des- tined to replace some of the eternal chorus singin; they will be ac d with gratitude, if not With marked enthusiasm. And then there is 5 THE IRISH BAND, now en route to the shores of “free America,” which will be at least a profitable attraction, as well as one of the chief features of the Jubiice. ‘The band will arrive at about the time when all the ether arawing elements of the mboree are exhausted, and of course it wi serve to bring up the audiences and _ enable the managers to liquidate their bills, and, perhaps, have @ small balance left for profit afterwards. The Constabulary Band, the one ae By, engaged to eel ent the Green Isle, was for- bidden to come by the impérial government, but the one finally secured is said to 66 aa fine @ body of musicians as there is in Ireland, and the Boston Irishmey will give them a gordlal reception. oo HORACE cena r. ba baw Another attraction Will be Horace Greeley, whosé appearance as 4, for the first time the manage- ment announ jr to-morrow.

THIS EVENING’S O01 ‘was not largely attended, but (ed mme was n excellent one, the chief feature embraced being ‘@ performance by the German band. Evening con- certs will be continued until the end of the Jubilee A ORITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GRAND SHOW. In your very able editorial on the Boston “bubble” yesterday morning you expose, in a very clear and logical way, the evil con- sequences of this conceited, vainglorious‘ frog- inflating business, undertaken by men who have mot the understanding and knowledge to decide whether such s gigantic enterpriso can be a success at all, and, ifit can, what are the means to obtain such success, Whether with regard to the building or the choral masses or the orchestra or the instruments specially manufactured for the parpose, nowhere is it possible to discover that 4 NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET., ‘and financial failure. the Bostonians may pretend that every ong now will say, “Of course it could not be otherwise;"” but though the French saying, that “motbing suocéeds like suecess,” 1s perfectly true, and the ‘xe vtotts” falls fearfully heavy on the Bostonians, let us see Whether they are so severely criticised only because they failed, or whether we can trace some real defects which had necessarily originated and led to that double faut ‘The Bostonians announced this Jubilee as something qujte extraordinary, because, as they promised, 8 Musical feast of never-before heard of proportions in ensemble and solos would be given. In calling together a chorus of 20,000, an orchestra of 1,100, building an organ and piano for a hall 550 feet long, the committee had the idea in view— ‘this is @ permissile supposition—that the instru- ments should be heard and seen. Now, whenever volumes of light or sound beyond what the eye and the ear in common proportions can bear are pro- duced, care must be taken to ald the common capacity in taking in the uncommon quantity. No one would dream of inflicting an immense electric flame on an eye without the necessary precautions, and no oneshould have undertaken to load the ear with so much more sound than it is supposed to be able to absorb, without knowing whether it was possible, and, if s0,,how tt was possible to do it. Now I maintain that had the chorus and orchestra been disposed as it ought to have been the offect would have been ten-fold greater. I am not pre- pared to say for all that that it would have been a desirable effect; for the getting together of such numbers is, for meny reasons, always likely to be a failure, But the disposition wasin every way de- fective. Mr, Gilmore is an extremely popular and courteous man, and he beats the time, to which, out of courtesy, the orchestra and cho- rus sometimes respond; but a man with @ baton who beats the time is no more @ leader than a man with a rife is a soldier. Speak- ing from experience, and having seen the greatest living leaders—Berlioz, Costa, Meyerbeer, Lind- ety oo their orchestra, and having hun- ‘eds of times been present while th reat men rehearsed, I am prepared to say that if Mr. Gilmore had been up to their mark he woula have seen the impractibility of his undertiking and would not have pusted it em. The organ con- structed for the purpose, oi as the piano, are the most noisy, unmusical iistruments that ever have come to the knowledge of any musician. The arrangement for noise with anyils, chimes, guns, &c., was such, that, however strange it may appear, the guns were the least objectionable noise ; but that the committee hoped every effect from the noise alone is proven by the fact that ee the anvil chorus in every day’s pI me, and I.can say from personal know) Mey iat & chairman of two cominittees during the freinén’s exerciss, and in that moment alone, looked with unspeakable pride at his neighbor, as much as to say :—'‘Now, you see what Boston can do; you go and find an- other city with one “hundred firemen in the orchestra.” If only the numberless boys outside at that very moment had had the excellent idea of smashing all the stained windows in the building the artistic pride of the double chairman would certainly have gone beyond bounds, The overlooking of the first elements in arraying compact musical masses shows that an artistic idea, a pipet pontine leader—in fact, the man who understood what he was about—was en- tively missing, and the good people of the town first thought—Let us give a show. As long as there are numbers and enough we are sure to draw the people's moneypheythe ‘show ;” and there is the word—a show anwsvthing else—no know- ledge, no real art, no leader, 20 music—a show and a hope of cash forthe show. A leader and an orchestra require such rarely accumulated qualities that it is very dificult to meet with either reaching that degree of perfection which the Bostonians claim to possess, not because they have it, but be- cause they have not. In the Jubilee orchestra a number of excellent artists are sitting together, just as in the chorus a number of good singers are assembled. But in an undertaking of this kind it fe not sufficient that a number of instruments should b heaped together anyhow, or that the singers should anywhere. The violoncellos and double basses, which in any well-reguiated orchestra sit together, are in Bos- ton posted up one behind the other, and just as disadvantageously for the hearer as can be, not only because the first fifty must prevent the other fifty behind from being heard, but because every violoncello has by its side a double bass, which must cover it emtirely with the whole part of the audience on that side. When Costa first Tenearsed his great chorus of 5,000 voices he sent the gentlemen behind and kept the ladies in front, because in the ordinary position of the voice the ladies must be drowned by the gentlemen. Berlioz, when he rehearsed the great len festivi and the big brass instruments *2rcatkaed to drow: the rest of the band, just ‘as they often did in Bos- ton, he cried out to them to blow down, not up, 80 as not to smother with noise what ought to be has mony. The organ, too, in Boston enjoys, under.the fingers Serer hin who is so much opposed to monarchical dictation that he seldom cares to know the leader's time, such grand liberty that whenever there is an opportunity it drowns every- thing around. In the notorious performance of the- “God Save the queen’ the organ was about two- thirds vs bar ahead, and the perfect chord of the orchy atte a it oe4.of ihe seyenth on the organ made ae de & oe lous effect asifany performer woul 9 non & keyboard and make all the nbtos atid iaTescund together, As to the piano, it certainly is capable of producing the loudest noise, but not the biggest sound. The idea of allowing any instro- ment to be heard by itself in such a vast echoin; hall, when it was so easy to get the best composi- tion performed with orchestral accompaniment is in itself a proof of the perfectly unmusical spirit which presided over the programme. Perhaps a word on the pexooaers might not be out of place. They were three—one of immense and well-de- served reputation, one nearly unknown and one of well-deserved indifferent reputation. Madume Arabella Goddard, a thorough artist, played the plano solo—against her will—but she played it ina manner worthy of a great executant who has noth- ing whatever todo with the extraordinary condi- tions of ashow. Mr. Bendel, by no means an artist of ordinary skill and value, though not possessing a reputation like Madame Goddard, made the ut- most possible effect, and, I frankly confess, more than seemed to be possible under these un- artistic and adverse circumstances. Mr. went who never was considered by great musicians to be an artist, but only a iano-runner, without a soul, taste or artistic feel- Ing, who should have been the very man for the oc- casion, did not eve shoW mechanical strength enough. ‘Hic Rhodus, hic salta” was the motto; and if he could not show off there, he may pack his left hand and send it off, where it does not meet with Bendels, who Hye a brilliant left-nand piece a3 @ mere encore, dame Peschka Leutner, who, as your coffespondent ably stated, has got three voices, possesses Svaryshin necessary for a sensa- tional singer—high notes, 8 ato, extent—conse- quently all that will win a show; but she has no- where proved herself agreat artist—a thorough singer. Her voice, utterly timbreless in the lowest, octave, not even and full in the medium, is brijiiant and piercing in the f to Foctave, because it has been extended beyond the right limit.

Annual Report of Barnas Sears, General Agent—Condition of the South and Prospects of the Work Undertaken. merges ee ogToN, June 27, Ista, ‘The Frastees of the Peabody Hducational Fund ‘assembied at the Revere House to-day, when the general agent, Rev. Barnas Sears, D. D., presented his annual report, in which he saya:—The general aspect of education in tne South has undergone no material change during the last year. Great progress has, indeed, been made in the public mind, but various causes have been in operation in several of the States to hinder a corresponding action. The experiment of free schools in every part of the country has not bad entirely cleared away the doubts and removed the opposition that has existed; but the pencael agents in carrying into effect this great public mea- sure have had a sufficient degree of success in ex- tending, improving and cheapening education, and thus awakening @ general interest and winnin, popular favor to strengthen their confidence an oar them and their enterprise beyond the fear of ure. In regard to ald rendered, Dr. Sears stated that donations are not made to colleges, academies or any private, sectarian or charity schools.

Admiral Polo, the Spanish Minister, to-day tn- formed Acting Secretary Hale, of the State Depart- ment, that he had received this morning a telegram from Madrid to the effect that Dr. Emilio Houard had been released, and that he was now at liverty to leave for the United States. It 1s well under- stood here that Dr. Houard’s liberty was secured mainly through the intervention of Admiral Polo, and that the diplomacy of the State Department had no weight with the Spanish government what- ever. The Treaty with Japan Soon to be Signed—Reforms nd Improvements, Social, Scientt: Sumptuary and Gov- ernmental, in Japan. T. Comatz, second secretary of the Japanese Emi- Dassy, who went to Japan with Vice Ambassadors Ito and Okubo, arrived here on Wednesday, bringing with him important official despatches to the Em- bussy. Among them is authority to sign the treaty between the United States and Japan, negotia- tions for which are nearly completed, while the small points of difference between the Embassy and State Department have Seen harmonized. This authority was unintentionally omitted in drafting their instractions; hence the delay. It is expected the Embassy will conclude its labors by the middle of July, and immediately leave for London. The new treaty will put Japan on the same commercial footing with other nations and reciprocates all the advantages offered them, The receipt ot despatches from Japan at the Ja- panese Legation furnishes the following :— . Terashima, recently Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Japan to the Court of Great Britain, Arinori Mori, Chargé d’Affaires at Washington, has been raised in rank trom Jugoi to Shogol, and commissioned as Minister Resi- dent to the United States, with leave of absence to accompany the Japanese Embassy to Europe. The state of the country is now pro- foundly quiet. The government is carrying out the changes lately introduced with success. The in- telligence of the enthustastio reception given the Imperial Embassy at all points in the United States has given great satisfaction to all classes, who have learned the particulars through the native newspapers. Although the Japanese themselves smile at the part taken by the American Minister to Japan, Mr. De Long, who travelled in company with the Embassy as far as Washington, still they like to see the favor with which their country is re- garded and their countrymen are received. Al- though there are already some sixteen news- papers in Japan, on the 2th of April @ new dally paper was started, printed at the capital, in the Japanese language, modelled after the style of the best foreign papers, conducted with the sanction and support of the government, and intended for circulation throughoyt the length and bréath of the empire. Everything of interest in science, art, politics, commerce and society, whether local or foreign, will be found in its col- umns; and by its influence it is hoped that natives and foreigners will acquire more speedily a correct knowledge of each other. * Every day reveals new evidences of the thirst for Knowledge which has taken strong hola of the Japanese people. Many movements are proposed by the better classes, and plans for immediate ac- tion are being freely suggested to the authorities. Three hundred foreign teachers could obtain im- mediate employment. It is proposed to district the cities, raising contributions according to the means of each citizen, for the establishment of public schools, and make it com- pulsory by law that every child shall attend some public or private school. The better classes of Japan, composed of men full of intelligence, are earnestly desirous of seeing their country take the position in the world to which the natural aptitude ofits people entitles it. In the altered ¢ircum- stances of thelr country their statesmen are urged to study carefully the past history of the world, poli. tical economy, the rise and fall of nations and the ethics of mankind at large. It is alsourged that, to sustain their material prosperity, the laboring classes must be educated: in the mechanical arts and made practically acquainted with the improved machinery of Western civilization. Foreign me- chanics are eagerly sought after as instructors, and the custom of wearing foreign clothing is getting quite common among the Japanese. The exhjdjtion at Kioto has been visited by the Mikado. ‘The articiés thero collected are not sim ply to gratify curiosity, but are intended to instruct the Japanese. One room contains a small specimen of the earliest Japanese printing, a little over fit- teen hundred years old. Many bronzes, porcelains and specimens of lacquered ware are inter esting to forelgnera; but specimens of imported manufactures claim the most attention from Japanese. The exhibition will foster the spirit of improvement which is everywhere so manifest. The government of Japan has given such constant proofs of its determination to uphold its national char- acter for integrity and honorable dealing that it is now universally looked up to with parental feeling. Public notice is given that in future no body guard will accompany the Mikado when he drives out, except on state occasions, Eight new government schools have been established. The Finance De- partment announces the establishment of a Gene- ral Post Office for Japan, with the rules and regula- tions for its management. Government has appointed an officer to furnish plans of houses on the forel; principle to ail persons who contemplate rebuilding within the district recently burned over by the great fire lor cities in Jeddo, the Bele department of inter! are being rapidly organized, adopting the rules and regulations established by the Kanagawa police. The custom of falling on the hands and knees when the Emperor Pr, has been abolisned by the government, and in future only a respectful bow of the head will be required. Secretary Fish and the Captured Fishing Schooner Bliss. In reference to the reported insult to the Amert- can flag by the Dominion authorities in the case of the Bliss, recently seized at Anticosti for an alleged violation of the Fishing laws, it is proper to state, on the authority of friends of Mr. Fish, that it is now, and always has been, the custom of our gov- ernment to hoist the American flag over the flag carried by every vessel seized as a prizes without regard to nationality. This statement by the Navy Department, which 4 the warning given by the Hearetary to our fishermen in Canadian waters, see casion for finding fault with the Dominion officials, and no mandgr “of an American naval vessel would ‘have been sustained in in- terferfag with the commander of the Do- Minion cutter if the latter had insisted on carrying our flag under the Dominion fag. I give this'explanation because much comment has been occasioned here by the statements of the HERALD despatch giving the first Account of the affair, and the go-called official denial on the authority of a letter from Mr. Fish. Those who know Mr. Fish best are confident that he 18 too well Siepsintet with the practice of our navy to have jorized any one contradict the statement made in these despatches, for if the denial was true it would only serve to place him in the most Tidiculous m. The denial is only true, per- in 80 8 it affects the statement that Mr. sald we had become too well accustomed to Canadian insolence to trouble about amall insults to the Union flag. A Sad Tragedy in Washington—At- tempted Suicide. Julins Ende, an unemployed printer, and his wife were found to-day in the Third story of the Hotel Lutz lying on a bed, apparently lifeless. On one side of the bed was a coal hod about half full of blood, and on the other a wash basin containing blood. The blood from the man had been flowing into the hod and that from the woman into the basin. Ende and wife had cuts in the left arm, near the elbow, and the former also had a cut in the right ankle. Physicians were summoned, and after several hours’ labor restored the wounded people to consciousness, when they Stated that because of adverse circumstances they were brought to deep poverty, and becoming of life attempted kill themselves. They had taken laudanum before using the knife, but it had not the desired effect.

Talmadge, THE CORRUPT JUDGES. MeCunn’s Case Completed With- out Defending Counsel. SPICY RECEIVERSHIP DEVELOPMENTS. A Decision Promised on Tuesday Next. PRINDLE AND CURTIS. Their Trials To Be Immediately Proceeded With. State Senate. AuBany, N. Y., June 27, 1872. At the meeting of the Senate this morning but seventeen Senators responded at roll call. No coun- sel for Judge McCunn appeared. Senator Lewis suggested the summoning of wit- nesses in the case of Judge Prindle by telegraph, as it was probable the McCunn case would be closed during the day, and it was the evident desire of the Senate to proceed at once with the charges against Judge Prindle, i / Mr, Mygatt, of counsel for Judge Prindle, said that the accused had not expected his case to come on until after the Fourth of July, and the defence were therefore not ready. Senator Bowen remarked that {t was the under- standing that Judge Prindle’s case should be called at the close of Judge McCunn’s case, Senator Madden hoped that the testimony tn the case of Judge Prindle would be taken by a commit- tee. Mr. Mygatt thought the Senate could dispose of the case much faster than a special committee, Senator Lewis’ motion was agreed to. PROCEEDING WITH M’CUNN’S CASE. The case of Judge McCunn was then resumed. James M. Gano failing to respond to his name, the Sergeant-at-Arms was directed to bring him before the Senate. Charles W. Banks, counsel for Mr. Beecher, as- signee in the case, was then sworn, and related the action of Judge McCunn in directing the arrest of the assignee, Mr. Beecher; witness had not heard Judge McCunn threaten to drive Mr. Binninger out of the county. Edward Van Ness, plaintiff against Henry Leeds and others, was next called and sworn, and de- tailed the features of the case, his evidence ap- parently showing that Judge McCunn’s order had put the parties to the suit to great unnecessary ex- pense and enabled the receiver and referee and counsel to secure large profits. THE JEROME BUCK RECEIVERSHIP, Joseph Larocque, counse: for defendants in the case of Edward W. Brandon vs. Jerome Buck and others, was then sworn. This witness was called upon for testimony in support of the fourth printed caarge against Judge McCunn. In this charge it Is alleged the respondent made an order appointing Daniel H. Hanrahan receiver of a fund of $12,000 in the hands of bankers on deposit; that the order was not asked for by any of the parties to the suit; that Judge McCunn knew Hanrahan to be a totally unfit person for the position, and that his action was dictated by a desire to secure gain. This wit- hess was examined at great length relative to court orders which were shown him, James F, Morgan (brother-in-law of Judge McOunn) was next sworn. He testified he had re- ceived an order from Hanrahan for $12,000; had resented it at the counter of the banker on whom it was drawn, and was denied Pay Ment thereon; he had not inany way requested the ‘appointment of a receiver, THE CORRY-LONG SUIT. James M. Gano appeared and was sworn. He had been appointed receiver by Judge McCunn in the case of Albert B. Corey against Walter B. Long; that said appointment was vacated, whereupon he was reappointed by Judge Barbour. The charge charges that the accused Judge, Gano and others, conspired to deiraud Long of property by making and entering an ex parte summary order, falsel urporting to be an order of the Superior Court, by which Gano was appointed receiver of all the artnership property, valued at many thousand Toliars, and the plaintiff, defendants and their credits were thus deprived of the property without due process of law. Gano testified that he had once before been appointed receiver in a case by Judge McCunn; the assets im that case were $8,000; that the affairs of the firm occupied two months in set- tling up; that he had employed a lawyer to help take an inventory of stock, and that nearly one- half the proceeds of the sale went to pay the ex- penses of the receivership. In reply to questions from Senator D. P. Wood rjtness said Judge Barbour is Chief Justice of the Riperior Court, and that the reappointment spoken of above was made by him about a week after the order of vatation Wab grahted. Counsel of people offered in evidence the order of Judge Barbour setting aside the appointment of Gano. Said order did not state the reasons for va- cating the order. Mr. Gano replied he did not know the reasons for issuing the order, except that he was a brother- in-law of Judge McCunn. Mr. Harrison, of counsel for people, in reply to questions from Senators, said the papers showed the order of Judge McCunn was set aside for ‘“ir- regularity,” but they did not state the nature of the irregularity. THE ELLIOTT-BUTLER RECEIVERSHIP. William Van Wyck was called and sworn, giving evidence in the case of Anna M. Elliott vs. Mary P. Butler; be was counsel for the plaintiff and made an order before Judge McCunn for appoint- ment of a receiver; James M. Gano was appointed; witness did not know him or ask for his ap- pointment; this charge alleges a (iad hed on the part of the parties—Gano, Judge McCunn and Cia el deprive the defendant of her property jegally. Coane! of people put in evidence an original order of injunction granted in this case. Louis H. G. Ehrhardt was sworn—Mrs. Butler, defendant in the case spoken of above, is mother- in-law of witness; in 1869 witness boarded with her at No. 54 West Twenty-fourth street; Gano came there and said he had been appointed receiver of Mrs. Butler's effects, and would not allow any of the boarders to remove their effects unless they paid him (Gano) their board bills; Gano called ina policeman, who, however, did not remain long; witness got an order from Judge McCunn MOvUnE him to take away his trunks; Gano accepted it an said all right, but in the evening Judge McCunn ap- ared and said unless the boarder.paid him or ano (even ff he had pald others) the trunks could not be remoyod, .

THE MAUD THE FASTEST YACHT. The annual regatta of the Harlem Yacht Clint was sailed yesterday from off their new Club House, on the Sound, and though there was not suMctent wind to enable the yachts to make tha race within the six hours allowed by the regula- _ tions, the guests passed a most enjoyable day. About this time iast year there were only sixty members belonging to this club, and they have now, 170 and a club house on one of the prettiest sites for a yachting headquarters in tire neighborhoo® of New York. Their success is mainly due to the energy and unceasing labor of Commodore Willlam Kipp, who has elevated the standard of the club and used all his influence im increasing its popularity by bringing in new mem- bers whoare men of influence and position. Be- fore another season has passed away the Harlem Yacht Club will possess a very fine fleet of yachts, and will rank among the leading yacht clubs of this city. The steamer Pleasant Valley was chartered by the club to convey the members and their guests round the course. The Pleasant Valley made several calls on her way up the East River, and at cleven A. M. she left HARLEM BRIDOB laden with the most select assemblage of guests that ever witnessed a regatta of the Harlem Yacht Club, On arriving at the Club House, situated on the Sound, at the other end of the Kills, the yachts were found preparing for the race. The Regatta Committee, Messrs. F, M. Pirsson, S. Van Nostrand and Clinton Hunter, were soon busy getting the yachts into line, and in the meanwhile Commodore Kipp was attending to the comfort of the guests of the club on board the Pleasant Valley. The regatta was sailed under the sailing regulations of the Har- lem Yacht Club, as amended, and the yachts were allowed to carry any number of men, and also to anchor during the race in case of a squall, THE COURSE was from their moorings off the Club House to the buoy off Fort Schuyler, passing the same to the eastward; thence to Stepping Stones buoy, frp the same to the westward, to and around Success Rock Beacon, turning the same from leeward to windward; thence back to Stepping Stones buoy, passing same to westward ; thence to Fort Schuyler buoy, passing same to eastward; thence back to stakeboat, passing same to westward. The course was to be satled within six hours or the race would be void. The following yachts started in the regatta:— FIRST OLAS3—OABIN. Name, Marianna. Carrie Porte: Lengths Joe Jefferson. ‘. J. Creamer. Sophia Emina.: Mary ©. Campbell. Fly. FIFTH CL ca Ripple ‘Time allowance was calculated upon area of can- vas in the first and second classes and upon length alone, at the allowance of two minutes to the foot, in the third, fourth and fifth classes. The prepara- tory gun was fired at four minutes to one, and after @ lapse of ten minutes a second gun was fired from on board the Pleasant Valley, and all the yachts started, with the exception of the first and second Classes, Who were started by a third gun, fired at a uarter past one, The judges, Captain Samuel Samuels and Mr. J. M. Sawyer, were on board tho Pleasant Valley. When the signal was given to START the Mary ©. Campbell got away very cleverly, closely followed by the Mary Hmma (late Detiance), look- ing very sprightly in & handsome new suit of can- vas. The Knapp came next, a short distance to windward of the Mary Louise, in whose wake salied the pretty little Maud. The Sophia Emma, Oraiser, Joo Jefferson and T. J. Creamer cawe next, with the Ripple, General Tweed and Quits bringti up the rear. .The Marianna led her class, while the Vivid appeared to have gained slightly on the Edith, As the Heet passed RIKER'S ISLAND there was a very light southeasterly breeze, and they were all scattered about, but the nog! Emma appeared to have taken the lead, closely followed by the Mary J. Campbell, which was sailing well. The little Cruiser aiso showed well to the front with the evident intention of making hersell known to the members of the club she had just joined. ‘The Plessant Valley stopped ut Fort Schuyler in order to awatt the arrival of the yachts, and by the kind permission of Lieutenant J. 8. D. Knight, of the United States Eugineers, a number of the guests were landed and took a ram- ble over the works. ‘The breeze had nearly all died away, but at twenty minutes past three a littie puff came up Irom the southeast that brought some of the yachts past the buoy off Fort ‘They passed as follows :— chuyler, HM. 8. Mary Emma: 8 38 2 Maud 3 43 05 ‘The Pleasant Valley then steamed up to the buoy on Success Rock, olf Sands’ Point, and lay there awaiting the arrival of the yachts, ‘During the in terval the guests amnsed themselves by tudulging in adance, which proved a decided success. ‘The achts rounded the buoy on Success Kock es fob OWS :- 1.

As she came close up with @ Iignt fanning air she crossed. the line close to tic stakeboat, instead of skimmin®t the dock, and thus passed at 7h. 7m., making the race in 6h. im., and therefore rendering it nuil and vold. The Pleasant Valley then started for home, as it was useless waiting for the other yachts, If the Maud had made the race fn tine she would have won the prize in he: class, ond the Mary Emma and Cruiser would have been equally successful in thelr re- spective classes, The race will have to be satled over again, and the date will shortly be decided upon, Yachting Notes.
