~~ PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS, Ten Thousand Persons Witness the Great Trot. Goldsmith Maid the Winner of the Free for All Purse of $5,000—She Soores the Best Time Ever Made on Long Island. Asky with here and there a cloud to pleasantly dim its azure depth; clear, hazy, electrical air, with @spice of the south wind to rufle it; an endless, turbulent stream of equipages; all the belles of two great cities; a plain, embracing a race course, and crowded with the wealth and fashion of the metro- polis; trees outside the course, peopled with hard- every part of the field dotted 4 excited groups of sport devo- tees; now and then the clang of a bell, the cry of ofMficers and the rush of contesting horses—such ‘was the scene yesterday at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds. Seldom if ever did a reunion act more favorably in all its features, The clerk of the weather for once forgot his spite, and a lovelier day could not be wished for. The races of Goldsmith Maid and Lucy have taken such a hold on the public that they have been looked forward to with anxiety; but with a field embracing other horses the occasion was recog- nized as the great fashionable and enjoyable event of the year. So the throng went to the track, and all drives leading to the Coney Island road were crowded. Prospect Park looked its prettiest, as if it was on inspection and _ resolved to do its best. The maple trees nodded a Welcome as the swift and gilded equipages passed by the “Shelter Mouse,” and the red and white Toses were like a young maid in her teens. The lawn shone brighter tian ever in the noonday sun, and hundreds walked quietly about while the pool seller’s voice was heard in the land. “What ! Goldsmith Maid, Lucy, Henry and Amerti- ean’Girl ! Did you ever see such a field? That suits me exactly!” ‘Do you think I mean to go back on Lucy? Itell youl don’t.” Such and a hundred other like expressions were heard on the stand be- fore the bell rang up the trotters. At this time the field was an inextricable tangle of vehicles. In fact, the world und his wife and all the other Members of the family were on _ hand, The Club House was a houquet. A gentle southerly breeze made music among the ribbons of the ladies that by the hundreds walked on ‘the balconies. On the Grand Stand, from a score the great crowd augmented to six or seven thou- sand, and the sight was a glorious one in the broad- est sense of the word. The centre of this revolving circle of fashion, beauty and biilliancy was the Club House, A walk around it by Dame Fashion would have made her en- vious, and for once in their lives the beauty of Long Island, in its enthusiasm, staked glov.s, perfumery and even hats while they chat- ted about the horses. When it was known that American Girl, the pride of brooklyn—for there she won her greatest honors—was disabled, a cry of eneral discontentinent wet up from the assembled rong, and this was only etd sg when she was walked up and down the track with her owner, Mr. Lovell, and everybody saw that she was lame. Ifa horse was ever well talked of, if a trotter was ever pleasantly referred to, it was the Girl yesterday. ‘Ain't it @ pity she’s lame?” “I'd give my break- fast to see her right,” and a thousand other expres- sions greeted the great trotter while she walked and the judges were excusing her, The Beyrarance of Henry was the occasion of much enthusiasm, and trotting during the heats caused great interest to surround the con- test. Never mind if Goldsmith Mald and iy did beat him, it was* no disgrace, as he trotted well and magnificently to the a. There have been many great scenes on Long land in the matter of fast horses. Thousands Rave been on the Union Course and on the Fashion track and there witnessed great events; but no crowd ever gathered within its boundary that were more enthusiastic than that of yesterday at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds, “The fastest time on old Long Island,” “That takes the fag. down,” and & hundred like remarks were noted when in the tirst heat the Maid scored 2:17:41 Dexter's old ves, A shout tiat shivered the June foliage ‘and made the ladies hold their breath went up from the populace at the time, which excitement con- tinued throughout the ruce. The second heat was excellent, but the third, in 2:17%, made both men ‘and women cheer the beautiful srothing machine, ‘as the Maid is, and thank fortune that they were there. All New York and Brooklyn's notables were on the ground. They visited the Club House, from ex-mayors down to the lowest politician, bu' all was harmony, and when the amusement of the @ay was over all left the scene of the Maid’s trot- ting triumph contented and in good spirits. The judges of the day were Messrs, Turnbull, Harker and Kerne, The Trotting. The track was all that could be desired for speed and the weather fair and balmy. The clouds of noon had disappeared and the sun shone out bright and hot when the horses were called for the con- test. But three of the four entries were ready to start, American Girl being brou, hy gn w round with a swelled knee, a ayower be wi ptt ages. Goldann st Mata remedial I Tu her scoring exhibited more speed than we ever witnessed before in any of her rapid flights, Lucy also looked well, and showed @ great deal of foot while warming up, but nothing to compare with the Maid. Henry also seemed in fine trotting condition, but the contrast in speed between the two was palpably great, the preponderance being in favor of the little mare. In scoring for the start Goldsmith Maid appeared to understand her business better than in past years, and was not 80 rank as formerly, but ready to dash off at the top of her speed as.soon as her driver called on her. When the word was ven for the first heat sne was two lengths behind lenry, and in less than fifty yards from the score she was in front of him, and then she set- tled to a regular rate of speed, which she reserved throughout the heat. She is a wonder- hi creature, and can seemingly trot as fast as her driver requires. In the betting Goldsmith Maid was ignored, and Lucy and Henry weresold, they pang the favorites, at $200 to $40. Some pools were sold on time, over and under 2:19. Over brought $110and under $100, Mpny pools were sold at this rate on time. ie record made yesterday by Goldsmith Maid is ‘the best we have eve! had on Long Island, where the tracks are all a full mile, beyond doubt.

Mr. Greeley was at the Lincoln Club during the day yesterday, where despatches and letters of in- terest received at headquarters were forwarded to him. The news from Miinois delighted him beyond measure. His daughter Gabrielle and the Misses Cleveland, at his request, yesterday inspected a new photograph of him, which has just been fin- ished. It represents the Philosopher in the shades of Chappaqua, with the homestead in the distance, At the National Headquarters the following dia- tinguished visitors registered their names:—David A. Burr, W. B. Shaw and W. B. Schumacker, of Washington, D. 0.; Louis M, Coates, of New York; Wm. M. Brady, of Houston, Texas; John Mullaly, Colonel H. G. Olcott, John S, Berry, A. M. Palmer and John B. Haskin, of New York; State Sena- tor Horrobin, of Vermont, who was the only demo- crat in the State Senate last year; Jerome B. Par- menter, of the Troy Press; Samuel Daskam, of Nor- walk, and Colonel Wickersham, of Mobile, Ala. Mayor Dudley P. Ely, of South Norwalk, Conn., who has hitherto been an earnest supporter of General Grant, writes that he feels compelled to support Mr. Greeley and the anti-Grant movement hereafter. Mr. Daskam says the republicans of Connecticut are coming round to Greelcy, and that in the little town of Danbury a Greeley club of re- | eld has been organized numbering 300 mem- ers, Among the ‘neat things” of the campaign, circu- lating among the members and visitors of the National Committee, is a number of little etchings entitled “The Humors of the Grant Downfall.” They are gotten up by the opted wil liad Com- any from drawings by Miss Cara D, Hall, a daugh- r of Mayor Hall, who also is authoress.of the verses accompanying them, LETTER FROM HORAOE GREELEY. His Position in Regard to the Democrats. {From the Hartford Times (democratic), June 26.) The following ts an extract from a private letter to agentleman in this State. Though it was never intended for publication, the gentleman to whom it was addressed has deemed it of sufeient interest and importance to justify its publication :— New York, June 11, 1872, * * * Thave no possible claim to democratic support, and never made any. The democrats will, of course, be governed by a consideration of their own interest. It is nowise proper or probable that they should be intinenced in making their decision by any consideration personal to myself, and if they could be I do not desire it, Hence I have said nothing to any democrat .unless he first addressed me, and, even then, I have gone no further than to say that, if I should be elected, I woutd treat all those who supported me alike, not asking whether they had been in the past republicans or democrats, * * * Yours, HORACE GREELEY, LETTER FROM AN OLD RETIRED EDITOR, What He Thinks About Greeley—Advice to the Baltimore Convention—Too Late to Bring Forward a New Candidate— “Uncle Horate” Must Be President for the Next Four Years. To ¢HE EpiTor oF THE HERALD:— Some democrats appear to be opposed to Horace Greeley because he was a rank abolitionist while slavery existed at the South, and said many bitter things against the democratic party; but his politi- cal status has changed within the last few years, and to-day, excepting on the tariff question, he stands substantially on democratic ground. He isa true friend of the South—not of the negroes alone, as the Grant republicans are, but of the whole South. He desires to see that section of our Union rid of the thieving carpet-baggers that now infest it; and he will use his influence to re- store the whites to all the political power that is attainable, without infringiag on the rights of the colored people. No democrat asks for more than that. Note what @ great sacrifice he made when he went bail for Jeif Davis! What was his motive for doing that remarkable act? It was to show the South that he, as the representative of those who for thirty years had waged a relentless war on slavery, was then ready to take the South by the hand and aid in restoring her to an honorable post- tion in the Unton, forgetting the past and living the future as brethren of agrepublic with om T mvp gstiny for all. No other mq OF his pouti posltion ar the North- would heve had the moral courage to do such an act! Mr. Greeley said, “1 shall lose 60,000 subscribers to the Trivune eo to the Dyfoodent st but I will go and do it,’ en came such a howl from Northern fanatics, by thousands of letters, and through the press, as was never before showered upon the head of any man; but Mr. Greeley stood as firm asa rock. Now, can- not such a man be trusted by usin the White House ? Will he be led by the nose, as a man without a mind of his own, by unprincipled politicians? Not he. He will do what he considers right, “though the heavens fall.” Ispeak asa democrat, without a particle of re- publican blood \ioihg pyitdeaee republicanism) run- ning in my veins. I have seen the time when I would have heard with delight that Horace Greeley was dead; but times have changed, and I see but one way to defeat Grant, and that is by democrats coming forward and throwing aside old prejudices and voting next fall for Gree- ley, as a sacrifice, if you please so to callit, upon the altar of our country. Party domination should not influence us in, a struggle where the salvation of the great principles of a pure ADU ar overnment are at stake. See the strides that rant and his minions have made towards a mili- tary despotism! Russia, in all herbarbaric cruelty, never oppressed gee Poland at the point of the bayonet as Grant has the South. See the attempts made to place our elections under military supervi- sion! Mark the centralization of the pene Ae f. ts as pl ny ernment, denying to the States rig! written in the constitution as the sun appears at noonday, And we shall all see that party in this reat contest 1s as nothing In comparison with the uty that devolvés upon us to save our country in he ey, of her peril. “S~ytruyMyeres* “But, ays One, ‘if we vote for Greeley tho arty will be disorganized and dis- That will not affect the organiza- t democ: Tupted,’’ Bosh! tion of our party in the least, and in 1878 we can proceed with regular nominations the same as if we had voted for a straight-out democrat, Again, “how can we, who are free traders, sup- port our life-long opponent” Mr. Greeley will not make, but only execute the law, and he has pledged himself to sign any tariff bill that Congress may pass. What more could the rankest free trader do ? There are some men in the democratic party who learn nothing and forget nothing—not even the miserable, foolish seat at the Democratic National Convention in 1860, when it was in their wer to nominate Douglas, who would certainly have been elected on @ united front, has taught these impracticable fel- lows anything; and they are now doing all ed can to elect Grant, in the same way that Lincoli was elected by a minority vote in 1860, The nomi- nation of Groesbeck and Olmsted by eighteen of these discontented Bourbons at New York recently shows what folly men are capable of committing. Perhaps enough men of this stripe will be sent as delegates to the Baltimore Convention to defeat the nomination of Greeley; but if they do deieat him the democratic party will not follow them. It is too late, gentlemen, to bring out any new candi- date for the Presidency. Every sensible politician sees’ that plainly; so you have it one course to pursue—to take “Uncle Horace’’ for better or worse, and try him four years as President, It is evident that a majority of the people of the United States desire to have him elected. See how the people everywhere -~ him! Editorial slurs and abuse do not injure him in the least, See how the rank and file of the demo- cratic party re udiate the teachings of the World and other feading democratic papers! The people now think for themselves, and editors cannot turn ; the tide that is flowing with irresistible velocity | towards him. Be wise, then, ye detegates to the Democratic National Convention; carry out the wishes of your constituents, and Grant will be sent ' back to his tannery, and the nation will rejoice in the re-establishment of our political which were bequeathed to us by our sires of 17 ‘Linpgy, N.

The gommittce adjourned subject to the call of the airman. MISCELLANEOUS POLITICAL NOTES. The Boston Advertiser (Grant) says it is “an open trade between the democrats, who surrender the name and form of their national organization in re- turn for such assistance as Mr. Greeley and hia friends may be able to give them in the States and districts where they have a chance to win.” The Providence Journal (Grant) avers that “the men who think that they can balance the services of General Grant in the fleld and in the Cabinet by insulting his daughter and slandering his brother- in-law will find that they have miscalculated the character and temper of the American people. Such infamous conduct will neither harm nor help Gen- eral Grant, but it will excite towards the perpetra- tors the indignation and disgust of all right-minded men.” The Baltimore American (Grant) states that it 1s generally understood that Mr. Groesbeck will not accept any Presidential nomination in opposition to the decision of the Baltimore Convention. “We may now look out for his endorsement of Greeley.” adds the American, coupled with a vigorous per- sonal denunciation of the candidate, after the usual manner of democrats eating crow and pre- tending to relish it. The Cincinnati Commercial (Greeley republican) thinks it is “the part of the Baltimore Convention to recommend, not to nominate.” The Democratic and Liberal Republican State Conventions in Illinois are described in the line of the poet— They first endured, then pitied, then embraced. The Baltimore American remarks that “the en, thusiasm for Greeley is all outside show and that the people do not partake of it.” The Concord (N. H.) Patrtot (Greeley democrat) observes that the radicals “profess to be shocked by the terrible inconsistency of democrats voting for Mr. Greeley, a life-long opponent of democracy. But they were troubled with no such scruples when they voted for General Grant, who had been a life- long democrat, Nor in 1864, when they voted for Johnson, another of the same sort.” The Austin (Texas) Gazette states that there is a majority in the democratic delegation to Baltimore in favor of making a democratic nomination. The Providence Journal (Grant) says a serious difference has arisen between Schurz and Gratz Brown, but whether it will culminate in a bolt re- mains to be seen. Remarks the Cincinnati Gazette (Grant) :—“Day by day the lines of the parties grow clearer and more distinct. Republicans close up solid for Grant— only democrats support Greeley,”” Says the St. Louls Republican (original Grecley) :— “There isno democrat opposed to Greeley who can be made by the party lash to vote for that candi- date as a democratic nominee. He (Greeley) isnot @ democrat, and all the endorsements that the Bal- timore Convention could pile upon him would not change the fact that he 1s running the race as a Ybéral rep iv f aaeraasr ashy leclares that there Mas been nothing in the political history of this country to compare with the frenzy of Mr. Greeley’s managers to get a unanimous endorsement tor him at the Baltimore Convention. The promises made by the Enemy of Mankind bear no comparison to those made by the commercial travellers in his ser- vice and in the service of his committee.” The editor of the Paris (Ky.) Citizen has inter- viewed Congressman Beck, who returned from Washington a day or two since, upon the'political situation, and says:—“He regards any other course than the support of the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention as out of the question and the height of political folly.” The papers have even got to discussing what Greeley knows about breakfast. Says the Lockport (W. Y.) Union:—“If the fact that Mr. Greeley break- fasted with Tammany is evidence that he has been corrupted, then why, on the same principle, has not Grant been corrupted by Tom Murphy and the other Tweeds that have surrounded him for the last twelvemonth{”” The Cincinnati Enquirer (Greeley democrat) re- gards the call of the Chicago Times (straight demo- crat) for the organization of a new party as “‘super- lative foolishness.” THE FOURTH OF JULY.

BOBBED IN A CONCERT SALOON, On Wednesday night James Metcalf, a paper- hanger, residing at 49 Amity street, indulged in too much “soda water,” or something élse, and wan- dered into the Matinée Garden Concert Saloon, at the southwest corner of Amity street and Broad- way. While seated at one of the tables one of the pretty waiter girls employed in the place, named Ida Williams, made a chair out of his lap and seated herself on it. While enjoying the embraces of Ida, Metoalf claims she. put her hand in his vest pocket and stole his gold watch. An officer of the Fiiteenth precinct yesterday after- noon arrested Ida, and upon being confronted before Captain Burns stated that the proprietor of the sa- loon, Charies Muneret, had the watch. The latter ‘was arrested, and upon being escorted to the house produced the missing watch and claimed Metcaltl had ieft it as security for drinks he had tained. They were both locked up to answer 3 eee OUR COLLEGES. Commencement Exercises of the College of the Gity of New York, St. Joseph’s Academy, Flushing, and Mount Washington Institute. ‘MUSIC, ORATIONS AND HONORS. THE OOLLEGE OF THE OITY OF NEW YORK. Twenticth Annual Commencement—The Academy of Music Filled With the Friends of the Institution. The Twentieth Annual Commencement of the College of the city of New York was held last even- ing in the Academy of Music before an assemblage of ladies and gentlemen that filled the house in every part. In this season of commencements, when every collegiate institution endeavors at its best to present to the public in a passing scene the result of a whole year’s labor, gracing the aisplay with time-honored formulas, it is gratifying to the pride of the city to see its own highest and most cherished school acquit itself ‘with such signal success as attended the exercises last evening. Itis worthy of note, too, that the large audience was not composed of mere sight- seers, but was forthe most part made up of the alumni, their friends and the friends of the institu- tion. Asis the pleasant custom on occasions like this, the fairer sex was well and most favorably rep- resented, the ladies coming 1n full force to see the honors awarded to the youthful, handsome and hopeful candidates, with the recollection, no doubt, that, after all well-fought battles, certain other awards are ever songht for by the victors and duly prized. If more brilliant gatherings have been seen within the Academy walla, certainly there have not been seen audiences more interest- ing to the thoughtful spectator, to whom the entire scene could not have appeared otherwise than as a local reunion of the friends and children of this noble school, The hour announced for the opening of the exercises was seven o'clock, but it was half an honr later when General Webb, the President of the college, the Faculty and several members of the Board of Education appeared on the platform. The orchestra then played the overture to “Masaniello” and the march from “Le Prophete,” which were followed by a prayer from the Rev. Dr. Thompson, After a few remarks from General Webb, in which he stated that? owing to good Management of the Board of Trustees, the educ: tional standard of the college had improv. and that the system of awarding fellowships introduced by the Board had worked admirably, the following programme was then carried out:—Salu- tatory address and second honorary oration, “The True Genius,”’ Henry L, Thornell ; music, galop, “Fair Ladies,” Parlow; fourth honorary oration, ‘“Scep- ticism,” Richard Van Santvoord; third honorar oration, “Movable Morals,” James Lawrence Wood- ward; music, waltz, “Thousand and One Nights,” Strauss; fifth honorary oration, “The Phoenician Merchant,” Jed Frye, Jr.; fourth dissertatior “The Hattle of Gettysburg,” Hamilton V, Meeks; music, galop, “Glocken Spiel,” Labitzky; first dis- sertation, “Gul Bono?” A. H, Stolbers third dis- sertation, “Marlowe,” John C. Gulick; music, selec- tions, “Indigo,” Strauss; second dissertation, “The Tools to the Fittest,” Samuel J. Beach; filth dissert- ation, “Laissez Faire!” Seligman J, Strauss; music, overture, ‘Merry Wives of Windsor,” Nicolat; vale- dictory address and first honorary oration, ‘‘Noblesse Oblige,” Arthur Beach; music, “Auld Lang Syne.” The addresses, orations and dissertations—the latter being delivered by those who had stood high- est in elocution and English composition—were well written and well delivered. It would, of course, be impossible that every one should agree with the sentiments expressed in some of them; but taken altogether they would compare most favorably with similar efforts at similar institutions this season. In every instance the student retired from the stage the proud possessor of a little load of flowers, the gift of some fair friend in the audi- ence, This part of the programme over, medals and prizes were distributed as follows:— MEDALS, Pell Medal, gold—Yenry L.

THE MOUNT WASHINGTON COLLEGIATE IN- STITUTE. Commencement Exercises and Presenta- tion of Diplomas—Beauty, Fashion, Music, Flowers and Eloquence—The Orations. Yesterday afternoon Association Hall was crowded with a fashionably dressed audience, assembled for the purpose of witnessing the twenty-ninth annual commencement exercises of Mount Washington Collegiate Institute. On Monday last, June 24, the annual reports were read at the institution, and on the same day honors were awarded to the junior and middle departments. On Tuesday honors were awarded in the senior departments, at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon; but yesterday was set aside for the distribution of diplomas among the class of 1872 and also for the delivery of the gradu- ating orations. On entering the hall, which was, as before stated, well filled, the sight that met the eye reminded one more of a decoration day than that of a commence- ment, The air of the hall, which was kept stirring by the vigorous shaking of fans innumerable, was loaded with the fragrance of a thousand bouquets, which, together with the soothing influence of the music, framed the mind into a favorable phase for the reception of the impression intended to be made by the unctuous farewell of the valedictorian. On the stage sat the Rev. Dr. Deems, Edward Hall, D, D. ; Judge Davis, Professors Alison and Lyman, the latter gentleman acting as conductor or ‘master of ceremonies.” Scattered among the audience were several distingnished citizens and members of the i , id Semoun ne oe following is THE PROGRAMME, many items of which will be spoken of hereafter.

Among other ban 4 in the above which deserve ial mention is “Wait re Some’ to Turn by William E, Gwyer. This young gentleman in 8 iengthy and elo nt address delivered several telling al joa) which the audience did not fail to sppreciate. . W, W. Owens? “In- tellectual Indigestion” was algo 4 live oration. He Inet ‘“yellow- hich would have rienced than he. “Our American arate {]00,"’ gave Mr. J. F. Crowell ample opportunit, FF eehas knowledge of American tory. What he considered as the American Waterloo was Gettysburg, where the grand ques- tion of the century was settled, and ere again the of battles ored the brave and just, In those three days, when the Union men fought so bravely, the great blot on our na- tional history was wiped out, and one of our grand- est institutions was vindicated. Mr. Edward M. Buven’s “Dress”? was the most apropos oration of the day, inasmuch as he had his subject before him. His raillery at the follies of the day was most amusing and effective, and although the audience did not intend to observe the rules he set down for dressing, they did not fail to appreciate the witty and sarcastic hits he was indirectly giving them. He sald that a deplorable fact, too well known to the community, was that broadcloth too often covered vice and villany, and that corduroy, in the place of silk, was often found to be the covering of honesty and manliness, Mr. Beebe, in a lengthy speech, strove to prove that art had its influence on almost every instatution—religious, moral and political. ‘The necessary evil,” war, found quite a charitable friend in Henry Dart, who not only deplored its evils, but extolled its good, in which latter effect he did not tind it wanting. It would do well for Tennie Claflin to make arrange- ments for a public debate with Mr. W. Bliven on woman, her domestic functions and political rights. ‘This young gentieman drew a soft and touching picture of the “freside,” where the mother, sister or wife is attending to the duties aevolving upon her as such, and by contrast with an opposite icture heightened the effect. He and all the gen- lemen before-mentioned were heartily applauded, and as they bowed themselves off the stage were showered with bouquets. Mr. William George Eagan’s “New King’’—the press—was the most matter-of-fact oration of the alternoon, and still he managed to sprinkle a little romance into the career of its exponents. He considered them the best judges of the human heart and nature; they Bee all classes of people; to-day a newspaper man dines with the President and to-night he is in the Melia station, on duty, searching for information for the world on the morrow. As examples of what kind of stuff newspaper men are made o! he pointed to Diekens, who has tickled the midrifts and raised the hopes of tne millions for the last twenty-five years; to Greeley, the Cincinnatus of our day, and to Gratz Brown, the greatest journalist o1 the West. Mr. Edwin B. fice, the valedictorian, manag work & few novel pointsinto the traditional “bricks and mortar of the institution.” The | bomangctee of honors to members of the Senior Department was next in order. For Deport- ment—First honor to J. K. Blauvelt, second honor to William F. Adams and third honor to G, 0. Schneider. For Attendance—First honor to Louis Gregory, second honor to Arthur W.

Henriques and second honor to John M. Hoe, Middle Department; third honor to Grany. ©. Young, Junior Department. Diplomas were presented to the young men men- tioned in the programme of the exercises by the rincipal, Mr, George W. Clark. Mr. Henry E. Davis addressed the f Het and wound up his aha by this “oft-quoted” line from Long- fellow :— The lives of great men oft remind us, 8T, JOSEPH’S ACADEMY, Commencement Exercises at the Convent of St. Joseph, at Flushing, L. I. This ancient and historic city, one of the earliest settlements on Long Island, full of Revolutionary incident, mostly of sad import, was moved to pleasant feelings yesterday by the Com- mencement exercises of St. Joseph’s Academy, under the charge of the Sisters of St. Joseph, which came off in the Town Hail. The usnal prac- tice in the case of institutions of this kind ts to have such “exhibition,” as it is frequently called, occur in the convent; but the want of space in this case compelled _ the Sisters, in order to accommodate the relatives and friends of the pupils, as well as the townspeople, to make use of the larger hall in spite of many drawbacks, which increased their labor in making proper preparations for the to them important event, These drawbacks are to be considered by a critic upon yesterday's exercises, although not noticeable to an ordinary observer, THE PROGRAMME of exercises was varied and iiitéresting, opening with a grand ‘march Of Kowalski, after which was @ vocal chorus, admirably rendered, “The Huntresses,” Bordese, when the Junior Class was introduced in a “Concert In- fantin,” thirty-six hands in the programme, which, however, does not carry the same meaning as in the labor movement, but may be interpreted as eighteen performers. This was an excellent performance, in which Miss Lizzie Luby was notice- able for the delicacy of her touch and briluancy of her execution. Miss Luby appears to promise much musical excellence. RECOGNITION, After this came a French address by Miss Louisa Moreau, of San Domingo, when commenced the award of medals for superiority in the various de- partments, Thus Miss Fannie Smith, of New York, obtained a medal for excellence in oil and water color draw- ing, her work on exhibition being a crayon “Ma- donna.’? Miss Annie Smith obtained a similar recognition, while Miss Gertrude Van Name was equally recog- nized for crayon drawing. Miss Mary Sallin was similarly preferred for supo- riority in penmanship, while Miss Jennie Moore ob- tained the gold medal for music and Miss Marcella Clark for the “prize essay.’’ In painting Miss Fannie Smith obtained special recognition, and Miss Lizzie Luby in tapestry. In the ‘fatter department of industry Miss Belinda Maguire drew a medal for a picture of “Christ Blessing Little Children,’’ and Miss Annie McGlincy for a ‘Napoleon Bonaparte.” THD ROSE OF HONOR was awarded to Miss Tessie Colton for amiability (note it, young men of the period), with Misses Marcella Clark, Mary F. O’Brien, Annie Smith, Jen- nie Moore and Belinda Maguire as maids of honor. Katie Uoyle got a crown of honor. IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS. Miss Maggie O'Dwyer, of Fair Haven, Vt., ob- tained the prize for wax flowers, and Miss Mary Chester, of Little Neck, for Oriental painting. THE CONCLUDING BXERCISES, after the coronation and award of medals, comprised the following:—Selections from “Martha’—(Har- monium and plano), Lickl, Misses Moore and Colton; song from “Traviata,” Verdi, Misses Dono- van and Hill; melodrama—‘“A Contest Among the Flowers,”’ Junior Class; piano solo—“Le Dernier Sourire,” Wollenhaupt, Miss Tessie Ci rhb ver- ; are—'Ggzza Ladra’— (24 hands) , Rossin! 08— 1ases setae F.

After this came VALEDICTORY, THE A by Misa M. Prancis O’Brien, an effort papplly be- yond the usual stereotyped effusion of school-girl eloquence. The fair elocutionist on this occasion evidenced thought and aetna, in the prepara- tion of her theme, as well as taste and eloquence in its presentation, offering some realistic pictures of school life and of truthful, if us sup- presses. or unrecognized feelings at its termination. e essay on the whole, though short, was brilliant and deservedly applauded.

Verdict of Guilty of Murder in the First Degree~ Recorder Hackett Sentences the Murderer To Be Hung on the 2d of August. The trial of David Murphy, indicted for the mur- der of David Barry, by shooting him with a pistol’ at the door of a lquor saloon, corner of Sixtieth’ street and Second avenue, which was commenced in the General Sessions, before Recorder Hackett, on Wednesday afternoon, was concluded yesterday morning. The prisoner was convicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced, without delay, to explate his crime upon the gallows on the 2d of August next, This prompt vindication of the law, is owing to ita stern but just administration; by the Recorder, who, while jealously careful of all the legal rights of the accused, took‘ occasion tocall the attention of the jury to the: alarming increase of the crime of homicide in New, York, and cantioned them against permitting sym- pathy to blind judgment and conscience in the per= formance of the duty they owed to the people to render a true deliverance upon the evidence. Tha moment the word “guilty” fell from the lips of the: foreman His Honor, believing in the righteousness of the verdict, refused to postpone the judgment,, but sentenced thé murderer to be hung on the 2d of. August. It was really refreshing to witness tha) quiet dignity, coupled with a desire to proceed rapidly, which the Recorder manifested in presid- ing at tnis trial, When the counsel during the em~ panelling of the jury had rejected seve- ral intelligent gentlemen who had never heard of the case and knew none of the parties His Honor, tm his char- acteristic, imperturbed manner, but with an, expression of determination which indicated that: the Court “thought she understood herself,” said. that if the prisoner was not ready to be tried he would not waste any more time in trying to get a jury, and allow the case to go over to the next term. The counsel intimated that he desired to pro- ceed, and, taking the hint, lost no more time in need- lessly questioning jurors. All the testimony was taken {n two hours, and the case was closed before the Court adjourned. If Jurors will only co- operate with the presiding jndgés of the General Sessions in the administration of the law the mur- ders and felonious assaults that have been recently mut plying in our midst at so rapid a rate will be checked, and life and property be rendered more secure than they now are, Upon the reassembling of the Court yesterday tha trial of David Murphy, charged with murder in th first degree in shooting David Barry, on the 17th ot April last, was resumed. Mr. Howe presented a Lumber of requests to charge respecting the various grades of homicide and the bearing of the facta upon them, all of which were charged, His Honor proceeded to deliver a brief and Incid charge, in~ forming the jury that in cases of homicide it waa the premeditated design to kill that constituted! murder, and that such intention could be formed at the instant the prisoner fired the fatal shot. His Honor intimated that the evidence in this case, if relied upon by the jury, would warrant them in rendering a verdict ofgullty of murder in the first de-, gree or manslaughter in the third degree. He briefly, recapitulated the testimony, and, in conclusion, said that crime existed to a fearful extent in this city, beyond that which he had ever known) during the period of his jadicial administration, Scarcely an hour passed without some act of violence or of death being perpetrated. In his (the Recorder's) view the dimiculty was not in the administration of the law by the judges, nor was It the fault of the prosecuting officers; but the fault lay with the jurors, who had asentimental aversion to finding a fellow creature guilty where the death penalty wonld assuredly follow. Six days had been spent in the trial of Stokes trying to find a jury. who were stupid enough not to know snything of nt i= The Re- the case'in order to render them compete charge their duty in that particular case. e corder cautioned the jury not to permit sympathy for the prisoner to swerve them from discharging their stern duty, and said that if they had any reasonable doubt respecting the prisoner's intention to kill the deceased they should give him the benefit of it and convict of any of the lower degrees of man- slaughter, or if they hada doubt upon the whole case the accused should have the benefit of it, The jury retired at half-past eleven o'clock, and at the expiration of two hours re-entered the court room, elr presence occasioned the most intense excitement, which was greatly increased when, in response to the customary inquiry of the Clerk as to whether they had agreed upon a verdict, the foreman nervously responded, ‘Guilty of murder in the first degree.” The prisoner's counsel requested the jury to be belt Per enbod each juror replied that such was rdict, Ass! stant District Attorney Stewart said:—In this case 1 will ask to have the pronouncing of the {osgniene deterred until to-morrow morning, if it is agreeable to the Court. The Recorder, who has no mandlin sympathy for convicted criminals, said he would like to know the Treason why. Assistant sper The Recorder—I think I will proceed to sentence him. Send for the Sheriff. The Sheriff was immediately sent for, and, while awaiting his arrival, the business of the Court was suspended, and @ painful stillness pervaded the crowded court room, every one feeling that he was in the presence of death, Inwfew moments Sheriff Brennan arrived, and the Clerk proceeded to Mitrpte the convicted murderer, and asked him what he had to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him. Mr. Howe said :—The prisoner has directed me to inform Your Honor that he never had any intention to take the life of the deceased. He states that his brother is a little deaf, and that the fighting had not stopped at the time, but, on the contrary, that he was se'zed, as his testimony disclosed, by two men, and then he discharged the pistol. Of course the jury have believed the reverse, and we cannot quarrel with the verdict; nor can we appeal to ‘our Honor for mercy, because the law leaves you no discretion. The Recorder—If it rested upon the unsupported statement of the prisoner's brother alone ae Honor meant the fact testified to by Murphy's brother that the fighting had ceased for some min- utes before: the firing of the pistol) that would be one thing, but if my memory serves me right all the witnesses on the part of the prosecution agree that there was a cessation of the affray, and that the deceased had gone to the door and was followed by the prisoner. Turning to the prisoner, His Honor said:—The sentence of the Court is that you be re- manded to the City Prison and be kept there until the 2d of August, and be hanged by the neck till lite be extinct. ; As soon as these awful words fell from the lips of the presiding Mn i the mother and sister of Mur- hy, who occupied seats in the enclosure set apart for female witnesses, uttered a heart-rending shriek, exclaiming, “Oh, heavens!” The death warrant was handed to the Sheriff, who took charge of the prisoner and conveyed him to the Tombs. FRIGHTFUL RUNAWAY AOQOIDENT AT NEW. BURG, Newsuna, N. Y., June 27, 1872, Last evening a runaway accident occurred in this city by which several of the members of the family of Homer Ramsdell were injured, one of them se- riously. It seems that in turning a corner one of the horses got his leg over the pole of the carriage, and, the team taking fright, ran away. The accl- dent occurred at the corner of Grand and Second streets, and the horses ran as far north as Broad street, in Grand, a distance of half a mile. There were in the carriage Mrs. Ramsdell, her daughter, Mrs. Major Geueral G. W. Rains, of August Ga.; Miss Leila Ramsdell and Miss Fanny P. Rains.’ The latter, daughter of Mrs, Rains, was on the box with the coachman, John Antoine Frichey. When opposite St. Paul's church the team shied at a pile of brick, overturned the carriage and ran with it on its side for about one thousand feet before they were stoppe' |, the occu- ts being inside all this time. Rains by some means got her ri foot out of the carry and the limb was horribly crushed above the ank! Acomminuted fracture ‘was sustained, the bone being broken into about @ dozen pieces, and protruding from the flesh. The coachman sus- tained some severe scalp wor having been dragged along the ground for some distance by the lnes. All the occupants of the carriage were more or less bruised and cut, but none except Mrs. Rains were seriously injured. Temporary surgical ald was afforded by Dr. Smith Ely, of this city, and Pro- fessor Carnochan and Dr. ds, of New York city, have been sent for to consult in regard to amputa- tion, which it is feared will have to be resorted to.
