10 REAL ESTATE MATTERS. ‘The First Sale of the Season and Its Lesson. Whe Philosophy of Renaming Our Uptown Streets—A Compromise Effected Between West- shlers and Eastsiders—The Designations Adopted for the Avenues and Thorough- fares—Work on the Riverside Park Begun in Earnest—The Lower Part of Westchester and the Beneficial Results of Annex- ation—The Park Commis- sioners Want to Stop Further Improve- ments Up Town— Sales Past and to Come. ‘The close of the week has not demonstrated | om. the n. e, corner of 9th av. @nything more active tn real estate transactions ‘than we gave to our readers on the 7th instant, in | Tear on gelation to the sale of the Lehmaier lots by Messrs. Muller, Wilkins & Co., held at the Exchange, on the 6th of the month, The extensive advertising @one by the auctioneers and the high reputation ofthe owner of the property tended to gather a large and appreciative audience, as the dramatic ‘eritics say. The first few lots offered were sold at Medium prices, while all that were disposed of Beahzea very low rates. The consequence was ‘hata large number of the plots were bought in, otherwise they would have been gacfificed. In all ‘this there is a moral. First—The proprietor of the eighty-seven tots. ‘@ffered for sale is known as a shrewd operator in Feal estate, and, having determined to reside per- manently in Europe, it was thought that any pri¢e eifered would be accepted; but when it was tound’ ‘that lots on 125th street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues, only nrongkt $4,000 each, and others in Mesirable localities like low prices, the further suics Made Were only nominal. Second—The money market was any way but Yavorable to speculators in real estate, borowing Fates ruling beyond reaching rates. Third—The uncertainty of the repeal of the usury Jaws and these exempting mortgages from taxa- tion; all dhese causes had a depressing influsnce on the real estate market, which even the tempi img offers of the auctioneers failed to dispel. Bome people say that this sale, being the first Reavy offer of the season, on private terms, was held early, and if it had been held a few weeks Jater the entire property would have been disposed ‘of at remunerative rates. NAMING UPTOWN STREETS. ‘This subject, which the Executive Committee of ‘the West Side Association has altogether assumed eharge of, irrespective of rights east side owners ‘May possess and which the west siders are sup- Posed jo respect, having been commented upon by the HERALD asit deserves, assumed a more popu- Jar form and is now ina more just and equitabld manner o! being properly carried out. The greats est excitement prevailed among property owners of both sections of the city, and it was finally ar- Fanged to hold a meeting of those interested down town to discuss the matter. Subject to @otices issued through the press and the mail a number of extensive property @wners met on Saturday afternoon at the Rew eftice of Mr. Jolin McClave, No. 1 Pine street, te take into consideration the propriety of recom- mending totne Common Council the new names for our uptown avenues and streets. Some ot the Members of the West Side Association insisted upon the names proposed by them, while others @) d the same. Finally a compromise was e by allowing concessions, and the names mentioned below were determined upon te be sub- mitted, and if the owners oi lots on the streets thereby affected have no objection, the same will go into operation as soon as confirmed by the city government :— The following are the designations:— Namer. New Namen. Ota Eighth avenue, from Fifty- Westbourne avenue. Binth street to Livi stwee. Ninth avenue, north of Bloomingdale avenue boulevard, Tenth avenue, north @f Fort George avenue. ooulevard avenue, north @ West End avenue, Eleventh eniy-second’ strect. ‘Seve Seventh avenue, north of Moth strect. Sixth avenue, north of 110th street Grand boulevard, north of Fitty-ninih street. Beventy-second street, from Eighth avenue to Uudson River. Avenue St. Nicholas is to retain its present name. All having Objections to the above names are re- quested to send the same to the office, where the aneeting was held, Next Saturday the same gen- tiemen will again assemble at Mr. McClave’s estab- dishment to take final action in the matter. Comumissioner Van Nert deserves the thanks of ‘the real estate interest for the energy displayed by him in pushing forward the work on Riverside Park. ‘pwards of one hundied laborers are actively employed on this job, und as soom as the Trost is out of the ground this number will be in- creased as large as can be conveniently handled, In the meantime the authorities should not negiect to have a circle similar to the one at the entrance of the Fifth avenue, established @t the entrance of the Riverside Park, and at the outlet of the Central Park at Seventy-second etreetand Eighth avenue. Such an improvement would Sreatly add to the beauty of this gateway, and also enhance the value of the surrounding property. Sooner or later this work will be under- taken, and why should it not be done now, while she lota required for that purpose can still be had for a reasonable figure, before improvements in the meighborhood wiil make it as valuable as Fifth ave- a Ee ee A few remarks in relation to values in THE LOWER PART OF WESTCHESTER ‘may not be inopportune while annexation and Yapid transit are on the fapis. We do not propose to indulge in figures, but rather refer to certain general facts which.control. In the first place, as it is the advance of the great city Westchesterwards that is stimulating Values there, we must naturally look jor the high- eat appreciation in localities topographically su- pense, and situated «so as to be easily accessible THE CITY'S GREAT VOMTTORTES, such as Third avenue, over the iron bridge; Fourth avenue, over the railroad bridge; Seventh and Eighth avenues, ever Central bridge; through the tunnel that is to replace it, and from the soulevard Section proper over the suspension bridge alread: deterinined on; also the old railroad on tne H son River side and the steamboat routes terminat- “— the Harlem, m the foregoing routes only the steam roads are continuous into Westchester. These give property accessible by them the advantage of unbroken and quick communication with the city, and, ex- cept the Hudson River Road, they take up and de- b re td pa amed upon aud along that valua- Seventh avenue boulevard, Sixth avenue boulevard. Broadway boulevard. Linden place. ih ECIABLE STRIP OF MANHATTAN , Island which runs northerly along the easterly boundary of the Central Park und through the Boulevard district of Harlem. Property in West- whester, that is superior topographically, an@ yet unimproved, on this central route, in large parcels, ‘that may be judiciousiy restricted and of easy ac- cess to a station, will reflect more than any other the valuable qualities of the choice section of the city with which the present steam transit directly connects it. The section now traversed by THE “DOLLY VARDEN" TRAINS between the Fourth avenue bridge and the Hud- son River, on the Westchester side, exhibits in a darge degree the advantages herein particularly referred to, the only noticeable exceptions that occur beimg where the creeks empty into the Har- tem River and a magnificent site near Spuyten Duyvil, that has.been prematurely cut up and built upon in a very inferior manner. All large parcels of commanding situation near stations on ‘the trunk line traversea by the Harlem and New Haven Kailroads are of similar desirability, but on this line only few such properties have been re- etree for the present market. South of Williams. ridge THE LORILLARD ESTATE ‘was one of the latest to succumb to the policy of throwing suburban lots on the market before heeded for improvement, that ruled in Westchester county over twenty years ago, That policy is most conspicuously illustrated by the present condition ci the property lying on ¢he railroad between Wil- Mamsbr dg: and Mount Vernon, ail of which, with the exeeption of the — Bri farm, at the junction” of” tne” Harem and New Maven Kailroad, and the Penfield farm, pearer Mount Vernon, tas lain for years cut up tn Jots and mainly ununproved, in. the hands of mMul- Titadinous owners, whose ‘separate and diverse opinions and interests now preclude the unity of action and concentration of capital upon the lots that are essential to their development and ap- preciation. So much tor vaines on the continuous @team roads. AC another time we may refer to values ia other quarters, ” THE PARK COMMISSIONERS AND PROJECTED LMPROVE- MENTS, Quite a stir has been mate among re. owners relative to the action of the Paik Comme, alonera requesting the Counsci to the Corporation to discontinue proceedings in all cases of street and avenue openings north of 165th street. Ine Park Commisrioners claim the right to control these proceedings absolutely; but, as the Park Commissioners had to make the Commissioner of | Public Works a party to the proceedings jor the ap- pointment by the Supreme Court of commissioners of awards and damages, high legal and oficial hold that the Park Opmuissioners bave . no legal right to order a discontinuance of the peer unless the Commissioner of Public orks was aiso made @ party to the same, which has not been done. Tt is understood that he is not in favor of such discontinuance, aa, in one cage at least—that of the proceedings for taking the Western Boulevard— the Commigsioners will be able to report within mmteen days, and the property holders above 165th Street are getting up @ remonstrance against any such general discontinuance of proceedings. It is evident that the Park Commissioners are exceed- ing their powers; and, as the Commissioners of Awards and Assessments are officers of the Su- preme Court, no general action can be had against duty, of ineom- them. If any neglect of aN ae eek It malfeasance itn Fegeat Wd roven against them, individually or eollectively, then it 18 im order to make a mo- tior for vacating their appointment or discontin- uence of proceed! In any other case the ac- tiou of the Park Commissioners is an impertinence, as getting themselves above the eutbesey of the Supreme Court, Such a claim is not likely’ to meet with much favor irom real estate owners or the public generally. following few private sales are reported b Bade £0" No 1 Park place : Now, 25,28 25, Saha Si 180. tne property je equlvaient to about 4 folt lobe ol ‘At 6, Lamon Go. ‘No.4 Pine st—? {ull tots on 110th st., tronting Central Park, 400 1t. w. of 7th av.

There will probably not be mach dispute as to the merit of the 130 pictures hanging at present upon the walls of the Somerville Art Gallery, 82 Fiith avenue. The collection is owned by Messrs. Williams and Everett, of Boston, and has been transferred to this city in consequence of the temporary indifference which the recent fire in Boston has created with reference to works of art. Among the paintings wilk be found a large proportion of fresh works gathered for this season’s trade. Of the foreign works the majority were chosen in Europe last Summer, and a large number were either painted specially to order or purchased directly from the artists. Among favorite foreign names octur Bougercau, Barth, Zwenugaur, Beranger, Zamacois, Borillowen, Worms, Bakalowicz, Ver- schuur,Corot, Verboeckhoven, Courbet, Tschaggeny, De Comerick, De Vrint, Toulmouch, Tissot, De Buel, De Noter, Tourney, Troyon, Schreyer, Dieffenbach, Jules Dupré, Daubigney, Roelofs, Rousseau, Le- jeune, Reinhart, Escosura, Perignon, T, Frere, F. Meyer, J. Hubner, Mali, Kuwasscg, Meisel, Meyer von Bremen, Lambinet and Lambert. American painters, however, have not been forgotten, and the visitor wilk find apt representation given to Weber, Hetzel, 8. Coleman, Caas, Tait, Hinckley, Bricher, Sonntag, Gay, Bir- stadt, Richards, Guy, Brown, Lambden, Dunning, Bellows, Bacon, Key and Coleman. The exhibition, which is free, will remain open day and evening until to-morrow week, the evenings of February 17 and 18 being set @part for the sale. Meantime the display is a very interesting one, and in some re- spects a valuable appanage to other expositions of the kind to which we have recently asked atten- tion, The Rossiter collection, the sale of which concluded last night, presented almost equal claiins to the antiquary and the connoisseur in art. Mr, Brevoort’s group of pictures at tne Leavitt Art Gallery compels interest, because it is the compre- hensive expression of some of that artist's best powers, Tne display at the Academy of Design presents strong claims, whether the water colors, Unatare strictly American, come ander considera- tion, or whether criticism be extended to those that are English. In the same way the assemblage paintings now at the Somerville Gallery {and there are a few water-colors among them) makes exactions which it would he H impression of depth, distance and remoteness is poweriul aud most pieusint, similar in ite eifect is W. Koelot’s “Meadows Near Brus- sels”? “Entermg the Stable,” by W. Verschuur, te a theme which amateurs who have never studied any of Rosa Bonheur’s ¢laborationa would be pre- pared toadmire, The act.on of the horses is very spirited and free. The student of color may sake thiret to some extent with Adiien Morean’s “Gathe: ing Flowers.” ‘There is a smack of priestly scandal and medimval debauchery in E. metsel’s “The Monk aud the Baron.” Finally, character and vitality are discernable in Gabricl’s “View in Holland,” Stadtmanno’sa “Winter Scene” and Mi chetti’s “Hop Fieid.”" Tne number we have thus far specified is calculated to show that Messrs. Williams and Everett’s collection ia no mean one, but wil! bear comparison witi the exhivition pron under the same management, enjoyed such itveral endorsement here a year ago. Foreign Art Notes. ‘The exhibition of pictures at the New British In- stitution, No. 39 Old Bond street, London, is a mix- ture of foreign anda English paintings, generally small in size. The number, exhibited is 258, and among the contributors are W. Cave Thomas, H. Selous, Baron Gudin, B. W. Leader, U. 1, Liddor- dale, De Haas, De Breanski, H. Schlesinger, F. Goodall, R. A.; J. Peel, A. Corbould, J, H. Walker, Marshal Claxton, C, M. Webb, W. Gale, J. H. L. De Haas, T. Earl, R. Ansdell, R. A.; C. Marshall and F, Lamornitre, The water-color drawings number sixty-six, In a lecture delivered December 3, by Mr. C. Meymott Tidy, at the London, Hospital the lecturer sald :—“‘Supposing Turner had been astigmatic, it Was @ matter of no importance. Turner drew and painted ashe saw. Let me put @ most extreme case. Supposing he was painting a man, and, owing to some peculiarity of his ¢ye, he saw him upside down. Of course, when he painted him, he Would paint him in the position in which he saw him, But, masmuch as to my eye the subject would be in the right position, as & manter of ne- cessity the picture that Turner drew would be in the right position to my eye, though not to his. Inasmuch as the object to wy eve was not dis- torted, no more would the object that he had painted on his canvas be distorted. In the same pid ifthe saw a tree that looked to him askew, and painted it askew, I look at the tree, J see it 1s not askew any more than his drawing. It seems to me that Mr. Liebreich has fogotten that we de not see with Turner's eyes, and that the eye witn which Turner saw was the same Gee with which Turner painted. And [think pre- cisely the same thing may be said respecting Mr. Liebreich's criticism of Mulready’s later pictures, accounting for the peculiar coloring by the change of color that the lens undergoes in some cases with age. If Mulready saw a suoset asadeep biue he mixes his colors a deep blue; but imasmuch as to my eye the sunset is not a deep blue, but a dee red, ag a matter of necessity the color which Mul- ready mixed would be to my eye adeep red teo, The mee fact is that Mulready saw and Mul- ready painted with the same eye, He saw, ve haps, with a different eye to mine; but if he has closely imitated the object he is painting you may depend upon it the color will ve the same to me. I do not think, therefore, for one moment that Mr. Liebreich has thrown any light whatever on tne ear of style of these two great English Inters. r The painters Laneveu, Cabal and Meissonier are named as candidates for the directorship of the French Academy in Rome. Since the Ecole des Beaux Arts was first thrown open in January, 1864, it has been frequented by 28,000 visitors. ‘The librarian, M. Vinet, has recently brought to light 130 valuable masterly sketches, During the past year Messrs, Bomnat, Collin and Glaize were despatched from Paris to the Hague and Amsterdam to make copies from some of the works of the great masters. It is said that Mr. aoe sold two of his statues of Semiramis for $8,000 In gold apiece. Miss Hoamer has produced a statue of the ex- Queen of Naples, who is represented, like Wilkie’s “Maid of Saragossa,” about to apply a match toa cannon, The Winter exhibition of the London Society of Painters in Water Coiors is stated to be excep- tionally brilliant, The collection of sketches and studies in the London Institute of Painters in Water Colors is likewise represented as excelling all that have preceded it, Deficiency in ambition is mentioned as the pecu- lar failing of the Extubition of the London Photo- graphic Society, Conduit street. The Liverpoo) Art Club gave its first exhibition on the 12th of last December. It was founded on the 27th of the preceding November. By the recent death of Miss Isahella Mather, of Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, in her eightieth year, an interesting collection of miniatures will be added to the Town Museum. About twenty-five years ago, when Louis Napoleon was in pecuniary dimMcuities, Mr. John Mather purchased from him a number of miniatures of the different members of his family, including the parents of Napoleon I. and portraits of his most celebrated marshals. After Napoleon III, was declared Emperor he at- tempted to buy back the miniatures; but Mr. Mather declined to part with them, and by his win peanenthed them to the town. on his sister’s jemise. ill-taste to dispute. First class artists of neither Europe nor America are aurepresented, and the raage of subjects interpreted is very wide and cath- olic. In “Taking Toll” Henry Bacon piquantly illustrates an episode which certainly no yonthtul observer will appreciate the less for having pos- sibly been the principal actor in a similar expe- mience. A. F, Bellows is almost as even in excellence as he is rolific in execution, and to give him all the credit he deserves we should be obliged to more than merely mention his “Fording the Stream,” “Summer Time” and “Barly Autumn.” There is much sweetness of feeling in Antoine Dieftenbach’s “Good Friends,” suggesting the mutual understanding existing bi tween a pet goat, which evidently tikes to be (o1 died, ‘aud a sweet-faced little peasantess, with a basket filled with grasses at her back, The “‘Land- scape Sunset,” of Jules Dupré, rivets attention by reason of its mournful sentiment ip he reproduc- tion of that sudden desolation which fal upon tree and river ‘om which the latest sunrays have just departed. Some well- painted ‘Lilies’ by George C. Lambden, of Phila- delphia, are companionable to “A Vase of Roses’? by the same artisi, and beside them may be men: tioned ‘Azaiias,” still by tne same hand. One of the largest pictures on view is Adolph Schreyer’s “Arabs in| Ambush—Karly Morn,’ which will oF be found surrounded by an animated cote- rie. Three Arabs on horseback, “with eye and ear attentive bent,” are lying in wait ina large cleft among the rocks, The three steeds are powerfull painted, and quite as strong and as contrastive indi Vidualities are indicated in them as in their riders, Experience teaches us that it would be unreason- able to expect any collectéon of tiis kind to ve con- sidered complete without something irom George Inness.

Ferari, which satirize the luxuries and vices: of the epoch of Louis the Fourteent&. All the pru- rient complexities of intrigue are deftly insinu- ated by this picture, and the keynote to the whole may be detected in the altogether unscrupu- fous leer of the furthermost geutieman in the group occupying the centre, it very pretentious is “At the Well,” by P, Leray; but it is an honestly wrought out production, and the comfort of mo- mentary rest is pleasantly‘indicated in the general expression of the tired woman, who, witii her hands on her hips, stands between her two buckets beneath the shadows oi a deeply-arching trec and beside an old stone wall. Agrasou's “Friend of the Children,” representing a priest surrounded by the little ones he bas cared for, is to be praised from the Kindliness of its sentiment and the adequacy wherewith the artist has uttered himseif, and Theodore Frére’s “Village on the Banks of the Nile, Beyb is fall ofairy splendor and brildancy.

Death of Wm. Rysam Gracie, Who Believed Himself To Be the Legitimate Descend- ant of “Bouny Prince Charlie.” HIS PEARS OF ASSASSINATION. The Pretender Claims the Throne of England and Styles Him- self William the Fifth. THE FUNERAL AT GRACE CHURCH. Among the list of deaths published in the HERALD oflast Tuesday morning appeared the following brief notice :— Graciz.—In New York city, on. Sanday, Feb 1873, of Tuetimonie, Witutan Ravan Gracie, in the Tat is age. Py ag ea ie gd February 4,at ten o'clock Av Mao “1? OR Tuesdays Perhaps of the hundreds of thousands who read this brief advertisement not a dozen outside of the relatives and intimate friends ef the deceased were aware of the romance, or, rather, life-long halluci- nations attendant on the existence of the subject of the advertisement. For fifty years of his life William Rysam Gracie believed himself to be the last lineal descendant ot the great and unfortunate, as well ag royal houses of Stuart and Sobieski, and there were many. well informed and respectable, but credulous, people in this city and in Europe who hed an abiding faith in his claims to the throne of Great Britain and Ire- Jand. Under the great dome of St. Peter's, at Rome, there is raised a white marble shaft, the work of the great Canova, bearing the names of James the Third (the old Pretender), Charies the Third (frincé Charles Edward Stuart) anu Henry the Ninth (the Cardinal Duke of York). It was the belief of old Mr. Gracie that he was the son and last male issue of the Pretentler, Prince Charles Edward, who died at Rome. on the 30th of January, 1788, without legit- imate issue. Mr. Gracie claimed the title of William the Fifth, King of England. Many of our citizens were familiar with the ‘ace and figure of the soi-disant King of England. He was @ man of powerful frame, florid face, with @ venerable appearance, fine blue eyes, and had a plentifal head of white hair. Since 1820 Mr. Gracie had been pos- sessed of the hailucination that he was unjustly deprived of his birthright as ruler of Great Britain. On Sanday morning, February 2, at half-past three o'clock, the pretender to the English crown died in a small room on tie third floor of the Washing. ton Hotel, corner of Twenty-seventh street and Fourth avenue, in this city. For four years William Rysam Gracie had been an inmate of tie Washing- ton House, and was well known to the boarders and proprietors of the establishment. Many peo- ple atthe first glance took Mr. Gracie for Horace Greeley ; but 1t must be said that his features and carriage were of the true Stuart type. He had the oval face, peculiar chin, frank and merry eye and allthe appearance of careless bonhommte which were characteristic of that ill-jated race. The father of Mr, Gracie was born in Scotland, and was in some way conuected with tne house of Stuart; but what branch of that royal line he was cou- neoted with is not known. Those who knew the deceased best represent him as being in manner a pertect gentieman, mill of courtesy and chivalrous notions, and courag- eous in character as no Stuart ever tailed to be. Some thirty years avo thts hallucination in the brain of Mr. Gracie became an in- sensate monomania. He was possessed of @ comfortable property of 600 acres, in Homer, Cortlandt county, N. Y. Owing to this unfortunate delusion, principally, it is said, Mr. Gracie became separated from his wife, and during the last thirty years of his life they had not en- countered each other more than two or turee tiqes, lis property was placed for his benefit in the hands of trustees, to be administered by them, and regularly once every three months Mr. Charles’ E. Jones, & wealthy resident of this city, whose town house is at No. 18 Kast Thirty-second street, and who has country residences at Cold Spring and Eaton’s Neck, Long Island, called at the Wasiington House and paid tne bills of the Sa proeet King of England. His room rent amounted to $3 50 a week and he eat his meals at the restaurant on the ground floor. Almost equal- jug his, mania in regard to his claim te the throne ot England was the passion which Mr. Gracie had for pork and beans. It must he added, too, that he anys take a little whiskey when occasien did not call for it, During the entire month of January Mr. Gracie was confined to his bed by a very severe illness, aud during that time he was attended by a very faithful and kind nurse—a lady living in the house, named Mrs, Carver, This lady stated toa HERALD reporter that Mr. Gracie was in continual fear of asgussination, and that the idea haunted att ri ene A We ge ne aus asty 01 e1 ritain were in active Leia Take Artie Under his pillow for NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET, will fall to Dis relatives, in default of the fn or a wil.

HORSE NOTES. The drivers and trainers of trotting horses of this neig»borhood held a meeting on Friday even- ing in Thirty-ninth street, preliminary to the in- auguration of a ‘Drivers’ Protective Union.” This class of men seem to think they have rights as well as the proprietors of trotting parks or mem. bers of the Poard of Appeals, and intend in the future to protect them. They think Vail & Co. have had things their way long enough, and it is now the drivers’ turn to make rules for their own gov- ernment. Frank W. Miller, who lives a mile or more out of Portsmouth, N. H., dreve into town a few days ago with a pair of colts, six months old, to the wonder and amazement of ail who witnessed the exhibl- tion, It was the first time the colts were ever har- nessed together; but they behaved well, They were fearnaugnts, The severe and trying Winter has depressed the spirirs of the owners of fast stock in the West, and many fearing the effects of the epizooty if sharp work were given during the intense cold, but few 1 the flyers have appeared on the Chicago ave- nues, notwithstanding the fine sleighing. The trotter Chicago, formerly Rockey, is, winter- ing on the farm of his owners at Kankakee. Some Unscrupulous men huve sold a horse in New York represented te be nim, by wiich the purchaser, too Tate, found he was duped on the receipt of an answer to his letter of inquiries to Chicago. The penitentiary is the proper quarters for that class of swindlers, There is an indication now that a cluo will be formed which will give $75,000 in purses at Dexter Park either preceding or immediately after the Buffalo meeting. Should the parties now considers ing the project couclude todo so there can be ne question of ultimate success, While trotters are greatly in excess of racehorses north and west of the Ohio River, there are quite a number of the latter found about springfield, Galesburg and Chicago, A two-year-old filly, by a Lexington horse, and out of a fu!l sister to Joe Daniels—Phonix Belle— has been matched against one of the same age, by Malcolm, out of Maggie Mitchell, by imported York- shire, to run, at Dexter Park, half a mile, next June, for a large stake. The match excites # great deal of interest in the West, and promises to be quite a sporting affair. There is a rumor of another match, or rather 9 series of matches, in which a well-known turfman backs @ comparatively green horse, one that has only won one jace, and that in slow time, to beat the fastest record at three distances, he mak- ing the selection between one mile and twenty. Although not yet publicly endorsed by the prin- cipais, there 18 every reason to believe in the au- thenticlty of the report, as the backer of the horse has frequently offered to make tncse matches. It appears as though the supporters of “time” had “the best of it,” and will be benefited by the whole amount of the stakes— $3,000 aside. It is understood the selected distances will be four, five and ten miles, To beat the records for these distances great speed and en- Gurance will be required, Flora Belle is reported to be wintering well, and Westernites are sanguine she will clip the wings of any of the Eastern flyers of her class she may en- counter the coming season. Mr. George B. Alley has sold to Mr. Frank Work a team of trotters, Price $7,500. The Preakness breeding stud, the property of M. H. Sanford, in Kentucky, 1s composed of the follow- ing stallions and brood mares :—Gienelg, Baywood, Virgil, Blunder, Bon Bon, Cordelia, Cornflower, Dot, Earring, Eden, Edeny, Elizir, Finesse, Gold- stene, Goneril, Gong, Grecian Bena, Item, Jolly One, Joke, Katinka, Lady’ Molesworth, Lag, La Henderson, La Bruna, La Polka, Lark, Lax, Laxy, Laxity, Lute, Madame Dudiey, Mary Martin, Minx, Miss Music, Nannie Butler, Niagara, Notice, Regan, Salina, Stamps, Tatoo, The Nun, Ulrica. Total, three stallions and forty mares. James Robinson, the once famous English jockey, died on Wednesday last at his residence in New- market, after a very long illness. He won the Derby with Azor in 1817, and closed his turf career in 1852, when, being thrown from the.two-year-old colt Feramorz, he broke his left thigh, his collar bone and several ribs. The injury to Robinson’s thigh was of such a nature as to preclude the pos- sibility of his again appearing as a jockey. The reappearance of Kaiser on the Newmarket Heath on the 11th of January, after an absence of about five weeks, was the signal for a reaction, and he is now absolutely favorite again for the Derby, and in almost equal demand with Flageolet for the Two Thousand. He is, however, narrowly watched. ‘The value of horses exported in 1872 from Great years he has had concealed an old, rugty ope-bar- felled pistol and a huge ctasp knife, with which he declared he would defend his life against the entire English army. Im conversation with his intimates it was customary for the deceased to speak of the practicability of landing troops at different ints in order to march in London and seize the Tower with crown jewels and regalia, He had two drawers full of papers and documents relating to his claim, fully settin; forth all the details which his poor rderes fancy harbered asa pretender to royalty. Wheo laboring under the influence of liquor he would be seized with a mania for borrowing money, for which he really had no need, as all his wants were carefuliy provided for by his friends and trustees. The poor old gentleman was well and even highly connected in this and other cities, and had one sister older than himself, who ts the wife of a well known lawyer in this city and for- merly a judge of one of our principal courts, Mr. Gracie was very liberal and even profuse in his expenditure of money and would give charity to any one who asked it from him. His rela- wants during his last fliness, and his sister’s family took charge of all the papers and documents which were left by him. He was in the habit of irequenting newspaper offices and an- noying editors, by offering for their perusal and per long and confused arguments, in which ie endeavored to ventilate his claim to sit in the place now occupied by Queen Victorla, Though re- rved on most other subjects, he was extremely garrulous and confiding as to his right to be called William the Filth of Great Britain. It is said that cae his papers which the reporter was not allowed to see is a long legal document Dvequeathing the succession of the throne of Eng- land to some unknown person, For two days before his death he was entirely unconscious, but @short time previous to passing away he seemed to OS ach possession of his faculties, and he recog- nized Dr. James R, Wood and Mrs. Carver, who were inattendance onhim. During his last hours he dia not alkide in any way to his royal claims, and he died peacefully and without a struggle. For many years hallucination, with its attendau irregular habits, kad alienated him from his tdm- ily, and he seldom or ever asked tosee any of them, although they visited him whenever he was in trouble or in sickness, His nieces were most unremitting in their attention to him. The room in which he died was very neatl furnished d contained a table, the bed on which he died and three or four chairs. For this room, into which he was removed when his sickness be- came dangerous, he paid $13 a week, Aiter half a century of trouble and distethpered fancies, with | no one near him but Mrs. Career, he died. and the bauble of a sceptre which he had so long desired to touch he never even saw. On Sunday evening the assistants of Sexton Brown, of Grace church, called at the Washington Hotel and removed the body of the poor eld gentle- man to Grace church, Where it remained until the funeral, which took place at ten o'clock on the sub- sequent Tuesday morning. At the hour appointed, about two dozen persons, friends and r tives of the deceased, assembled in Grace church to pay their last respects to the remains of Yilliam Pysam racie. There were half a dozen carriages outside of the chureh, and after a short service inside the sacred edifice the remains of the deceased were placed in the hearse. From thence they were transferred for in- terment to Woodlawn Cemetery, There was no music by the choir during the performance of the funeral services. At the funeral, strange to say, the wife from whom he had been separated tor thirty years—a poor, broken-down old lady—was oe She seemed deeply aifected, and sobbed audibly.

A somewhat sudden event turned up late on Fri- day afternoon, the above pair of Brums ‘‘agreeing to differ” over their respective boxing merits, and | the upshot was an appeal to arms on the following day, several sporting gentlemen “putting their hands together,” or rather their pockets, and making up & respectably-sized purse for conten- tion. An old-frequen spot was agreed on, whither the combatants, with a host of the ordinary followers of the repaired, and at @ quarter to three P.M. the men had stripped sand faced each other; betting even. “Chippy” showed very fine development, and recently scaled over thirteen stone. Penton, on the other hand, though well built, was considerably less, ‘and barely brought down ten stone ten pounds, On putting up their hands, however, the latter showed superior iorm and he was ne dunce at the game— he landed straight on the face, and, after a tew rough exchanges, was bored down. Inthe second bout Penton was again busy about the head, and a fine cross-counter on “Chippy’s’” left ear caused his friends to be jubilant. “Chippy,” however, showed great nonchalance, and closing with his man, threw him heavily, adding nis weight to the fall. The third bout was pretty evenly fought. Pen- ton busy on the head-piece, while “Chippy” landed on the body, and had the best of the throw. From this point to the tenth round matters progressed pretty evenly, Penton, however, almost invariably coming to grief. In the eleventh round the latter got home a fine cross-counter on the left eye, which at once contracted, but was the recipient of some “proppers” on the forchead, and was eventually bored down. For several bouts Penton continued to pay great attention to Chippy’s dam orb, which, irom frequent visitations, was diminishing its capacity of vision, The twen- tieth = an twenty-first rounds were very lively, no sooner up than at it, both boring in, though the atrengt of Chippy was beginning to tell tales, Penton being almost every round in close contact with “Mother Earth ;” still there was not much to choose between them till the thirty- | ninth meeting (Penton, if anything, paring s slight | advantage in the hitting), when Chippy landed a terrific body-blow, straight on the mark, which | partially doubled up Penton, and on time being | called he could not respond, Chive being victor in thirty-nine rounds, occupying fifty-eight Peer and thirty-ome seconds, e winner nad his tef eye closed and a few scratches visible, Penton’s forehead being bumpy, while both their right weapons were swollen ann puffed far beyond pun- ishing power.

Catharine Morgan, alleged to have urdered in her shanty on the rocks on the hortheast corner of Fifty-ii{th street and Broadway, by her husband, Josiah Morgan, but owing to the non-appearance of the witness, Jane Brackett, who did not arrive in time from the Reception Hospital, where she has been detained for medical treat- ment, the matter was adjourned till next Tuesday.
