4 ‘ THE ALDERMANIC CIRCUS. alee A Lively Day About the City Hall—The Aldermen Want to Scoop the Police Magistrate Nomi- nations and Manipulate Them—A Patri- otic Body—The Unemployed Park La- borers— Williamson Appointed Park Commissioner—Dr, Hall Nominated for the One Year Term—The City Record Contract. ° ‘The Aldermen Trying to Coerce | the Mayor. —_ Sharp Personal Recriminations in the Board Yesterday. The City Hall was seething like a cauldron yes- terday in the “bubble, bubble, toil and troubie” of local politics, There were three big topics afloat, First to whether the Mayor intended sending in any more nominations for police magistrates ; next, as to the chances of confirmation or rejection of the names of Messers. Ackert and Streeter, the two candidates already nominated, and, lasuy, the discharged and unemployed Central Park laborers had given notice of un intention to be present to ask the Aldermen what they meant by not either confirming or rejecting the nomination for Park Commissioner already in their hands for three or jour weeks. The Mayor did not reach the Cliy Hail until alter eleven o'clock, and there was already quite a lively “lobby” in the corridors. he well iniormed element, which, by the way, is A MIGHTY SMALL ONE, ose does the Muy p his coun: it was | pretty clearly undc ood that ther would be no nominati Magistrates sent in, for the Mayor that “two at a time” is enough, and if the <Alder- men only choose to keep them decks clear they can have two at a time dally until all the nominations are made. Among the Aldermen it was well understood that inasmuch as this was t chance for a ration of “pap,” something rh must be done, something that wonld the Mayor, or else “raise him and make ‘sow his hand a the only way it could vchieved was compelling him to in all the names at once, so that could make the proper ‘deal’? among patronage, On this subject hua be send they themseives for the there was, of course, an ocean of discussion, and there was no small degree of interest evinced at the analysis of the Police Magistrates’ bill, pre- sented in yesterday’s HekaLp, which showed un- mistakably now the Aldermen, if they got ali the names in their possession at one time, would be MASTERS OF THE SITUATION, and could settle the terms of office of the various magistrates without reference to the original in- tent of the law or of the Mayor as to the order of Lis nominations, It would make them absolute. |[ THE FIRST BUSINESS | of public interest on the tapis was the awarding of | the contract for publishing the City Record, which | was to be done by the Mayor, the Comptrolier, the Corporation Counsel and the Commissioner of | Public Works. Messrs. Stephen Angell and Wil- | liam land Bourne, who were appointed as a | committee of typographical experts to determine the relative merits of the bids and terms of fulfilling the contract and to report on the aggregate amount of each bid, were present and made their report. The Board then directed that | the five lowest bidders be notified to appear to- day with their sureties, when the tinal award will be made, The contract will be ior one year, and the bond ts $10,000. The contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder who furnishes satisiactery bonds for the contract. In pursuance of section 1: of the charter, two morning daily papers, one evening daily paper, two Sunday papers and one | German paper were designated to print the brief | omicial municipal advertisements, | ‘There was very little of pubtic interest officially | transacted until THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN ASSEMBLED, at half-past three o'clock. All the members were present except Alderman Van Schaick, President Vance occupying the chair. The representatives of the unemployed Park laborers were present in force and filled the lobby to repletion. Commis- stoner Laiinbeer occupied a seat at the ex afficio members’ table, and every available standing place | was occupied, mside and ontside of the raliing. en the routine business was disposed of, Alderman Monheimer opened TRE PATRONAGE GRAB GAME by offering the following resolution, wkich was seconded quick as lightning by Alderman Bil- dings -— Whereas section 2% of “an act to secure better adminis tration in the police courts of the city of New York,” passed May 47, 1573, provides that the justices to be ap- pointed under such act shall not enter upon their «nties unt 1 Tuesday next following atter the day on nent of the ten Police Justices shall be | reiore ‘That no ac the 2 nt mitted tis Honor th th e of Police | Justice Latil the names of ten persons appointed be sent w this Dourd for ion. On the motion bein for the “yeas” and 3 Allerman OTrENpORFER rose and made some re- Marks in opposition to the resolution, and said he could not see the necessity of any suc action as this resolution contemplated, Alderman Monuermen biandly explained that as none of the gentlemen could enter upon their duties until all were confirmed, the object was to incilitate the early organization of the Board of Justices without the delay which follows the con- driaten of two Alderman MCCaFFERTY expressed the opinion that it was neccssary to enable the Board to ex- amine the Police Justices’ so that they mi understand under what law they are acti would like to know if the Clerk had a copy oi the | @ put Alderman Mormus cailed ‘The Chair replied that the Clerk hada copy of @ certified copy of the bill, Alderman SicCArrERTY sald that, inasmuch as he had not known in reference to FORMER NOMINATIONS ondér what law he was acting, he would like to be able to inform himself this time. Alderinan CoorER thought the resolution shonid pass; it was avery Wise one, as it would afford Alderman McCaiferty the opportunity he desires to obtain Information of the nature and provisions ofthe law under which they were acting. He aiso thought the Board could act more intel- jigently (¥) by having all the names at one time. Alderman McCarverty said he held that every one of the confirmations and appointments thas jar made under the charter Was illegal. The Board had acted hastily on them without so much as read.ng the charter. He had THE AUTHORITY OF GOOP 1.AWYERS, one of whom Was known and respected all over the State, tat every one of those appointments Was illegal. Alderman MoxrkiMER—That is what we want to avoid this time (1). Alderman McCarrerty then made quite a lengthy address, in whicn he maintained that the Jaw had not been complied with by Une publication betore final action was taken of the Mayor’s com- munications to the Board in the City Record, and that all such acti only accumulating endless litigations upon th lerman Monbeimer’s resolution was adopted by the following vote, which clearly “points a moral” if IT DOES NOT “ADORN’’ THIS TALE. Yeas—The President, Aldermen Billings, Cooper, Flanagan, Foch, Rebs, Lysaght, McCafierty, Mon: heimer, Reilly—i0. 4 Nays—Aldermen Clausen, dorter—4, A petition from the unemployed Park laborers, embodymg the resolutions adopted on Wednesday | evening in their meeting at Demilt Hall, and asx. | | | Falconer, Morris, Otten: ing the Board to confirm or reject the nomina- tions for Park Gommissioners so that the Cominis- sion might orgative and push forward the works in the Park, was received and piaced on fie. Alderman Monnis moved that the nomination of D. B. Wiillamson for Park Commissioner sor three | years be taken from the table. Adopted. Alderman Morgis moved that the board contrin | the nomination. Alderman Cooren rose and said he hoped the | nomination would not be confirmed. He had no | ronal objection to the nominee, but he believed jhe members of this Hoard calied themselves re- | formers, and that the peuple desired reformers tor these various positions. Last Fai! he was ata re form meeting at the Filth Avenue Yotel, and Mr. ison, WhO Was present as he DELEGATE, “BOLTED” THAT CONVENT! rather than sustain the nomination of Wi. Havemeyer for Mayor. Alderman Moxis thougnt the Mayor only dis- played @ most commendable tmnartiality, iu accord | Backus, r 4 witn tne spirit of true reform, by nominating & | Gospel truth and because or the good such aia r man who had chus opposed him. Alderman COOPER didn't propose bo pay Off po- litiext opponents in that way, and would not vove for it. Alderman Monngmee moved fo lay the nomina- tion over. Alderman Rrmiy thought thia nomination, which bad been before the Hoard abveral weeks, had been “laid over’? enough. He thought the Board shonld take action at once and either con- firm or reject the name, so that the Board might organize, and that workingmen might have # chance of employment on the parks. Alderman Kocn said this made no difference, a8 the Park commission had exhausted its appropria- ton and could bot pay the workmen if 1b put them to work. We ought to sclect competent men tor this commission. Mr. Williamson was not @ tax- payer; at least no public record of the tact could be found, Besides, he was a lawyer, and deals with pen, ink and paper, and knew nothing of the matters wich quatified a man for this position. If had a tree to pliant he would in all probability put the branches in the ground and the roots on top. He would vote against him. Alderman MONHEIMER said Mit. WILLIAMSON 13 A TAXPAYER, but he pays them in the State of Maryland, Alderman BILLINGS was in favor of laying the inatler over, If there was any particular desire to have this Commission organived the Mayor mht uve sent in the nomination for the other Com- missioner in piace of the one already withdrawn, Alderman McCarrErry—Why this late repent- ance’ ‘These gentlemen all forced upon us these nominations @ week or two ago. Why this late repentance ¢ Alderman BiLLINGs—I acted according to my convictions then and I am acting according to my convictions now. Aldertogn CLAUSEN thought it was nota suim- cient objection to Mr. Williamson that he had “bolted’’ Mayor emeyer's nomination Fifth Avenue Hotel meeting. He (the Alderman) ‘was also a delegate to that Convention and with- drew from it because he was not satisiied with the nomination of Mc. Havemeyer, He should vote for Mr. Williamson. Alderman Cooper again spoke at some length against the nominee, and said he would state other objections to ht niirination, but could not do so now. He had no doubt but that his Tammany friends would vote for this nomination, They, acting in party spirit, would vote tor all the r jorm nomimations, particularly if they were dis- u . Alderman FLAN.

I object to his speakti The motion to lay over was lost, Ald Clausen, couer, Flanagan, Kehr, Lys: Catterty ris, Ottendorfer an ily young in 10 ve; the rest in the aflirmative. Alderman CooPER moved to adjourn. Lost, to 4. D. B, Williamson was then confirmed as Park x oner by the following vote :— er, Flanagan, Lysagh t ilIv—4. illy—¥. Cooper, Kehr, Koch, ‘The lobby applauded, with hands and feet, on the 1 of the resuit. t resolution for the Board of As- rizing an appropriation of 600 for the proper celebration of the Fourth of was concurred in, and Messrs, Ottendorter, MecCaferty, Koch, Clausen and Flanagan were appointed fo act with a similar committee trom the Assistant Aldermen, to conter with the Mayor as to the form of celebrating the day. A communication was received from the Mayor nominating DR. SAMUET. HALL asa Commissioner of Public varks—vice Church, withdrawn—to serve for one year. Alderman Coorer moved to confirm the nomina- | tion, Alderman BrLLines_ moved that the communica- tion be laid over and printed. Carriea—9 to 5. Alderman MONAEIMER moved that when this Board adjourn it adjourn to August 1, 80 as io allow time to establish the City . Not sec- onded. A communication from the Corperation Counsel was read in reply to a resolution of the Board asking his opinion, It set forth that he had reached the conclusion that the best way for the Board to act in reference to the nomination of Joseph B. Varnum, if they approved the nomina- tion, wouid be to confirm it. The question could then be properly tested in the courts, as his “opinion” on the constitutionauty of the law would be of no force, Alderman MOCAFFERTY moved that the communi- ran be reterred back to the Corporation Counsel or HIS OPINION, NOT HIS ADVICE, A very tedious and positively ignorant discussion followed on this question, only three of the mem- bers showing the least knowledge of the proper menner of testing the constitutionality of the clause of the charter under which this nomination is ordered to be made, A motion to lay Alderman MeCatierty’s resointion on the table was lost and another long discussion ensued, Then ensued a confused sort o1 wrangle trom the midst of which Alderman R&iL.y could be heard to say excitedly, addressing Alderman Billings, “The gentleman has | stated in the presence of the members 01 this room that he would CUT OFF HIS RIGHT ARM ea he would vote to confirm Commissioner yheeler.” Alderman BiLLInGs—I deny the statement that 1 ever made such a remark, Alderman etLty—You did, in this very room, and you can’t deny it. Another communication from the Corporation Counsel was read, in whicn be replied to a resolu- tion of inquiry concerning the validity of the | nominations of County Court House Commissioners, they being presumably county officers, while the charter, which authorized their appointment, was A BILL RELATING TO THE CITY. The qnestion is the same as that involved in the Comiissionership ot Jurors.. The counsel stated, in response, that a separate bil! providing, in a proper way, for the appointment of this commis- sion was now in the hands of the Governor await- ing bis signature, and recommended that the Board postpone action until a copy of the bill could be received, Ordered on file. Alderman BILLINGs moved to reconsider the vote laying over the nomuation of Dr. 5. Hall tor Park Commissioner, Lost—s to 6. It was at this stage of the meeting that the Chair appointed the Fourth of July Committee named abov:,and nearly every member of the Board, ©) those already on the Committee, asked co | EXCUSED FROM SERVING, on one pretext or another. Four of tuem expected to be out of the city on “the Fourth."* Alderman Morris hoped he would be where he could catch some trout on that patriotic occasion, Alderman FLANAGAN thought if there was some “work’’ to be done on that committee, instead of merely conterring with the Mayor, there would not be 80 many to decline. (ie probably alluded to polcdebgiy for fireworks and decorations as the “work.”) The Board shortly aiterward adjourned, to meet on Tuursday next. THE NOMINEE for Park Commissioner, Dr. Samuel Hall, is a gen- tleman of excellent culture and development, physically and mentaily, and ts a uative of Ireland, though le bas resided im this country since Is boynood. He is about fifty-five years of age and is a physician by profession, but retired from prac- tice about five years since. He isa cousin of the distinguished Rev, Dr. John Hall, of the Fitth ave- nue Presbyterian church, and 18 @ resident of the Ninth ward, He has never held any public office and is @ reformer and nothing else in politics, though of republican tendencies, RECEPTION TO ENGLISH BAPTISTS. —_——+ - The Central Baptist church in Bridge strect, Brooklyn, was well filled last night, the occasion being # reception to the Rey. Messrs. John Howe wod David McCiellan, who are visiting this country, Soliciting aid in the erection ofa strict or close- communion Baptist college, which ts being built in Manchester, England. These brethren came over @ couple of weeks ago, and attended the memorial gathering in Richmond, Va,, lately. They have visited a few otuer cities since and have been heartily received and welcomed, Dr, Sarles, pastor of the Central church, welcomed them last night, and both delegates made ad- dresses setting forth the feebleness of close com- Tmunionists in England, and the fearful ravages and inroads that open communionism is making m the churches and among the peopie, This was the burden of their theme, and the only counteracting influence to this wasting away of the ancient and apostolic faith w the founding of the institution in whose interests tuey are now travelling. The few strict Baptist churches that remain can’t get ministers of their own way of thinking, and many of the open com- munion cunrches bave lost their church property by union with Congregationalists and other de- nominations. While they considered Charles H. Spurgeon a good man, they believe he is deing a great deal of misemef by his liberal sentiments and teachings; and bis college students go very much jurther in their iberalism than he. Short addresses were also made by the Ri Dr. Hiscox and Dr. Fuiton, Dr, agreed to pay a doiar a head for every unbaptiz member that might be found m the 18,000 Baptist churches in America, Dr. Hiscox. opposed open | communion, because wherever he had secu it either in bngland or America, it had produce only bickering, contention and wrath, broken down the churches and weakened, and con- demhed the authority of th sucred Serip- tures. THe considered the Baptist Charch the only barrier inst ritnalism, Komanism and ra- tionalism, because it is the only Charch that makes test of Membership, Dr. Fulion had never seen open communion and knew nothing about it except by hearsay, He believed that other denominations respected an out-and-out Baptist much more than a héil-and-half one.

Depariare of the Constellation with the Middies of the First, Second and ‘Third Classes on Board for Their Summer Cruise—The Successful Can- didates This Year. ANNAPOLIS, June 10, 1873. The practice ship Consteliation, which this year cruises aiong the coast with the cadet midshipmen on board, left her moorines tu the Severn River, of the Naval School, yesterday, and will probably get under way for the Summer eruise to-day. She has on board about one hundred middiea, of whom thirty-one belong to the first or highest class, and the remainder of the second and third classes, The fourth class is not represented on board, asit has not yet been organized, being composed of the successful candidatea who have presented themselves for examination for admittance into the Academy this Summer. The cruise of the Con- Stellation will be what is known as “the home cruise," Newport being the first stopping place, and then New London, Halifax and return, lasting from June 10 until September 15, This annual de- parture of the Constcllation is the signal for the breaking up of the Naval Academy generally and the fight of its fair inmates to the watering places ‘or their Summer cam- paigns, Save # lew disconsolate midsiip- men, who isiled to pass the examinations, aud among whom is the colored cadet, Convers, stra; ing disconsolately about the “yard," with the fear of parental reproa and perhaps parental spankings before their eyes, the Academy grounds are deserted and bare. Late of an a.ternoon, how- ever, it is animated by water pursionists trom Baltimore, thirty miles distant, and the imfux of the inhabitants of tire town of Annapolis, who e that they lay atural born right to de the verdurous glooms and winding asy Ways of this secluded at; and they do, much to the annoyance of the Academy people. It is a matter of sincere congratulation to the middies ho are on the Consteliation that Conyers, the colored cadet, 8 not with them. K ‘The aminations ‘for admission into the Acadetay lor the ensuing year are now being ener- getically prosecuted and ‘will probably terminate to-day. ‘The following caudidates have up to this time ‘been announced ecessiul aud regularly sworn i before Justice Deanis ¢, Tuompson, as cadet midshipmen : Wilson L. ‘todd, Pennsylvania; Henry B, Lind- ley, Onio; Howard S$.

Harkness and James G, Parker, North Carolina, The steamer Fortune will arrive here about rte 1st of July, sailing again on the sth, with the c: t engineers, tor a Summer coast cruise. The Fortune will atterwards be stationed here as a torpedo and experiment boat, The midshipmen who lately graduated at the Academy are now enjoying their thirty days’ leave preparatory to being distributed in the different fieets for thelr one year’s cruise. Many of them hope to be ordered to the Alaska, Captain Carter, which is to replace the Plymouth, ordered home from the Kuropean squadron, These graduates are:—H. H.

LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. a) Mr. Bright’s recent course has illustrated the old saying that radical men in office always become conservative. dunes VERNes’ half romantic, half matter-of-fact book, “A Voyage Round the Worid in Search of the Castaways; a romantic narrative of the loss of Captain Grant, of the brig Britannia, and the adventures of his children and friends in his dis- covery and rescue,” has been brought out by J. B. Lippiucott & Co. in splendid style, with 170 engrav- ings. Lorp Brovenay, in his old age, was much ridi- cyled and lampooned in the columns of Punch; Whereupon he remarked, “those Punch people never get my face, and are obiceged to put up with my plaid trousers.” MME. GEORGE SAND’s “Impressions ct Souvenirs” is out, and is full of eloquent writing upon paint- ing, poetry, the state of France, the forgst of Fon- tainebleau, Father Hyacinthe, &c, Cuina Has BEEN PHoToGRarnep for the first time in a series of 200 photographic illustrations by J. Thomson, an Englishman, who has succeeded in overcoming the shyness and superstition of the natives sufiiciently to bring away a gallery of quaint buildings, gorgeous palaces and strange objects, These are accompanied by a book of travel and description of high interest and value. Mr. CHARLES G. LELAND has in the press “The Egyptian Sketch Book,” the result of a recent visit to the Nile land, In this work the author of “Hans Breitman” proposes to deal with native and Egypto-European life aud also with art matters. AN ANTHOLOGY of the best things in George Eliot’s books will be published by Roberts Bros., under the title of ‘The Wit and Wisdom of George Eliot.” THE GREAT LEADING CRY of the book trade is the consumpiion or dry-rot which has overtaken the business. There are various explanations given: one class of dealers attribute it to “underselling;” another, to the “pushing” of an overweening, quantity of poor books on the part of the pub- lishers; @ third, to the overcrowding of the trade,, both wholesale and retail; @ fourth, to the absorp- tion by the daily and periodical press of all the time of readers and of most of the intellectual ability of authors. There is little doubt that the last 1s the leading tnftuence in the comparative de- cline of the Book trade. There is talk of some great centennial publication oi a historical nature. But that is mot the way great historics are made, THE THIRD .POSTHUMOUS novel left by Bulwer Lytton, and just now discovered, is entitled “Pansanias.”” OBSERVANCE OP CORPUS CHRISTI. ‘The festival of Corpus Christi was observed in all the Roman Catholic, Ritualistic and High Epis- copal churchemof thiscity yesterday, with great pomp and solemnity.

AMUSEMENTS. The Graad Perfor moe at the Academy of Music. The performance under tne direction of Mr. Augustin Daly, which was given at the Academy of Music, yesterday, in aid of the Foundling Asylum, was a very great success. All the available stand- ing room even was occupied, the audience reach- ing probably five thousand persons, The receipts, which have not yet been definitely ascertained, will scarcely be lesé than $9,000. The programme was perhaps the strongest bill ever presented in this city, and though the performance lasted nearly six hours the audience remained intact till the curtain felt for the last time. The music was supplied by the orchestras of Wallack’s, the Olympic, the Fifth Avenue and the Union Square theatres, the or- chestra of the Grand Upera House and the Ninth Kegiment Band—these orgauizations being under their respective leaders, Messrs, Baker, Strebinger, Dodworth, ‘Tissington, Predigam and Downing. Miss Kthel opened the dramatic entertainment with the fourth act of ‘Agnes,’ where she 80 powerfully portrays the efforta of a true woman to reclaim an erring husband. She was supperted by Mr. Harkins and the oiber members of the Union Square company. This was followed by the second act of “Hamlet,” Mr. Fechter playing the chief part, supported by Mr. Griffiths as Polonius, Mr. Levick aa the King, Mrs. K. L, Davenport ag the Queen, Mr. Charles Wheaticigh as the First Player, and Messrs. Ringgold and Devere as Guildenstern and Rosen- eran ‘This was the great feature of the great bill, and Mr, Fechter was heartily called before the curtain, — Miss Neilson came next as Rosa- tind in the fourth act of “As You Like It,” supported by Mr. Harkins as Orlando and Miss Mary Cary as Celia, Miss Neilson was also re- called at the end of the act. The next piece was the farce “A Regular Fix,’’ with Mr, Sothern as Hugh de Grasse, supported by Mr, Davidge, Miss Nellie Mortimer and other artists, This noisy piece was noisily applauded throughout, and at its close, inreply to 4 ioud demand, Messrs, Sothern and Davidge, Messrs. Sothern, Davidge and Daly and wessra, Daly and Sothern repeatedly ap- peared before the curtain, So great was the enthusiasm created by the Nigh character of the en- tertainment that the audience would not be satisfied till Mr. Daly again appeared to receive | evidences of recognition and gratitude, Mr. Daly | in response said that if the audicace was pleased with the entertainment he was pleased h the audience. ‘then came the fourth act of “Made- len Morel,” which includes the cast of the piece and shows the even strengih of the compapy. Miss Clara Morris was called before “the curtain. ‘Humpty Dumpty” fol- lowed with a few of his tricks, his mobile face lighting every countenance that looked upon it. Mr. Fox was supported by Messrs, 0. K, Fox and . Ravei and Miss Fanny Beane. The Jee brothers in their act, “The Musical Rocks,” and the Wilsons in their “Triple Parterre” also appeared. Bryant’s Minstrels closed the day’s performances, and it was not unti! Dan Bryant had lifted his baton for the last time that the audience rose to depart. There were many distinguished persons in the boxes and among the audience, and the entertain- ment was in all respects one of the most brilliant events which ever took place in the Academy. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Tt is now almost certain that a new theatre will be built for Mr. Daly on the Apollo Hall site, Twen- ty-cighth street and Broadway, this Summer. An excellent open air dramatic and musical fes- tival, in ald of the Homeeopathic Hospital, will be given atthe East River Park, feot of Eighty-fourth street, this afternoon, Mr. Sothern plays ‘A Regular Fix’ as an after- piece at Booth’s Theatre on Saturday evening, out of compliment to Miss Neilson, who takes the fare- well of her engagement on that occasion. STOKES? NEXT TRIAL. ee ad hee Probabilities Regarding It—No Change of Venue—The Case to Come Up in the Next Term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer. It seems that the indefiniteness concerning the next trial of Edward §, Stokes for the murder of James Fisk, Jr., has to a certain extent ceased, and that some arrangement is in prog- ress which will settle all diMculties between the District Attorney and the prisoner's counsel. It isat least certain that no motion wil be made at present to admit the prisoner to bail. A prominent olficial in one of the criminal courts yesterday toid a reporter from the HERALD that no judge in New York would admit Stokes to bail in the present stage of the case. There is no doubt that he will pass at least this Summer in the Tombs Prison, The trial, the reporter learned from one of the District Attorney’s assistants, will not take place this term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer. The present term of the Court will last until October 1 On that day the new term of the Court opens, and the case will be moved on one of the first on the calendar of the Court, and will probably come up for trial during the month before Justice Brady, of the Supreme Court. In the matter of the change of venue for the case this could only be done by a mutual agreement between the District Attorney and the prisoner's counsel, and in no event will the District Attorney consent to such @ course, It is only in case of its being found impossible to get a jury after a reason- able lapse of time that the prisonet’s counsel could move for achange of venne, and then itis a question whether it would be granted by the presiding judge, The District Attorney can see noreason for achanwe of venue, and hoids that under the new Jury law— which does away with triers and makes the Judge the trier, and allows men to goon the jury wuo swear that, though having an impression, they can decide impartially on the facts of the case—when | the counsel for the defence have exhausted | thirty peremptory challenges, they are then | obliged to take whoever comes, if the Judge so decide, Under this law the prosecuting officers believe that a jury will ve 1ound very readily in New York, and therefore that-there will be no need to have it elsewhere. It seems also to be the opinion of these gentlemen that in case the next jury should disa~ gree there will be no great dificuity in | Stokes getting bail, The District Attorney be- lieves msett capable, however, of counteracting | the effect of any new evidence which may be brought up by the counsel! for the defence.

TIE OAKS. latent ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR MR. MERRY. aoe Victory of Marie Stuart—Mr. Merry’s Gains— He Grambles—His Retirement from the Turf—He Refuses £8,000 for Doncaster—His Prospects. Lonpon, May 31, 1873, ‘The Summer meeting at Epsom was brought toa conclusion yesterday, when Mr. Merry crowned his triumph in the Derby by carrying off the sister race—the Oaks—with his mare Marie Stuart. The Oaks bears the same relation to the Derby as the One Thousand does to the Two Thousead Guineas— it is the race for three-year-old fillies as the other is open to three-year-olds, both colts and fillies. AS a rule, it affords one of the pleasuntest racing days of the whole year if the weather is propitious, Sometimes tt is quite the reverse, and no one who experienced the horrors of that aiternoon, five years ‘ugo, when Formosa won the great race, and when it thundered and lightened and rained in torrents, will readily forget them. When, how- ever, the elements are favorable, as they were yes- terday, nothiag can well be pleasanter than the gathering on Epsom Downs on the Oaks day. To those especially who have got over the dreadful excitement and dissipation ofthe Derby there is a charm in revisiting the Scene under such altered conditions, One 1s borne up during a Derby afternoon by @ hilarity that is not always very natural, but at all events prevents the majority of people from falling inte “the biues.’? These come on next day wien one berins to ask himself, with relation to tne “Cockney Carnival," Cut bono? The headaches that are born of FIBRY CHAMPAGNE and lobster salad and dirt and heat and the struggling with an immense crowa are not easily got rid of. One is apt to inquire of himself whether, caring nothing about horse racing—and not one in ten of the countless thousands who go down to Epsom on the Derby day will remember the name of the winner at this time next year—the play is worth the candle? These feelings, however, are generally got rid of before the Friday on which the Oaks is run for and then it is pleasant to go down, if merely to taste the comparative calm and quiet which reigns over the scene, and to enjoy the contrast. ‘he Oaks is popularly known as the “LADIES! RACE,” not only because the competitors are all of the softer sex, but because itis greatly affected by the ladies of London, who do not as a rule care for the Derby, but who can hardly forbear airing their most delicious toilets at the Oaks, and the picture on that day has consequently a richness of color- ing which was greatly wanted on Wednesday, ‘Then there was nothing refreshing in the appear- ance of the grand stand, which, rising gallery over gallery, high in the air, like a modern Babel, showed little but the sober grays or blacks in which men array themselves, The carriages, too, that stood in a confused mass, stretching many hundred yards aloug the rails and on ‘the hill,’ were not remarkable for the taste of their occu- pants, who, as arule, hailed from the quarters of ST. JOHN'S WOOD AND BROMPTON, and who are more notable for loudness than for elegance in the matter of dress, It cannot be said that these ladies ignore the Oaks, and indeed there is one part of the line of carriages—the best, too, right opposite the grand stanu—where it is as hazardous to take one’s wife or daughter on the one day as on the other. Asa rule, however, both the equipages and their occupants were of a much higher class, and, as a consequence, much more elegantly dressed, and tue*picture they presented, with their wonderiul play of color, taken in con- Junction with the magnificent surrounding of wood- land and meadow, was one on which the eye loved to dwell, There were this year ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT entries for the Oaks, seventy-three less than for the Derby, and yet it was well known that the “ladies’ race” would be contested by a much larger field. There were only a dozen starters for the Derby, but eighteen fillies went to the post for the Oaks, ‘These animais suffer to such an extent at this sea- son irom sexual excitement that the very best of them may be unable to show their true form, and mares of Very mean prevensions may consequently have a good chance of winning uv they ouly keep calm and quiet. It might be supposed that unning in the One Thousand Guineas would afford some guide to the relative merits of the animals in running for the Oaks. It 1s, howeve usualiy found totally fallacious, and op this oc sion particularly so.

All these ran nearly abreast until they reached the distance where the favorite rushed ‘to ths front, und, having her opponents completely beaten in hall # dozen strides, cantered home the easiest of winners by three lengths irom Wild Myrtle, The latter was half a length in front of bers sigs who beat Oxford Mixture by a head for third place. Miss Buckland was fifth, Cecilia sixth and the most promiuent of the rest were Wild Aggie, Voyageuse and Poldoody. Time, 235034—three- quarters of a second longer than Derby time. MX. MERRY WON over the race £3,400 in stalggs, but only about £2,500 in bets, making in ali only £6,900, or $29,500. His gains by the Derby were, in stakes, £4,825 aud im bets £5,900; or in all £9,825, or $49,125, He has, thorefore, netted by the two races about $79,000, which most people would consider a good week's work, but which is @ mere “fea-bite’’ for a great owner of race horses to win over events like the Derby and Oaks. Consequently, so tar from heing satisfied with his wonderful succesaes, he has beem CURSING HIS 1LL-LUCK ever since he won the Derby, and asking every- body why it is that, since it fs thirteen years since he took the Derby and since he never won the Ouks, le could not have gained more raoney by his victories, it is thought now very probabic thut he will reconsider his determination to retire from the inri, and will try fortune fora few yeara longer. ‘This view ts rendered somewhat probable by the fact that yesterday he REFUSED £8,000, or $40,000 for Doncaster, a sum which was offered to him by Colonel Goodlake, ‘This was all the more signiticant trom the other 1act that both Doncaster and Marie Siuart are engaged in the St. Leger and that the mare ts tive pounds better than the horse, 80 that Mr. Merry might have pocketed the £8,000 and thea have beaten Doncaster tor the great race of the North, Bota are engaged for the Grand Prize of Paris to-morrow week, wad it ougut to tail to one or other, PROSPECT PARK FAR GROUNDS. Second Day of the Spring Mecting. The attendance at Prospect Park Fair Grounds was very respectable yesterday afternoon, the track in fine condition and the weacher all that could be desired. Two trotting contests were an- nounced to come off, the first being a four-year-old sweepstakes, which, unfortunately, was a walk over, and the other @ race fora purse by six very good horses. The sweepstakes for four-year-olds closed last February with six subscribers, four of whom paid a forfeit of $50, leaving but two in to contest for the stakes. These were Mr. E. S. Sanford’s black colt Edwin, by Peacemaker, and A. Patterson's bay colt Baron Lut, by Happy Medium. Mr. Sanford’s colt fell lame last week, and, being unfit to start, Baron Luff walked over for the stakes, ‘The second event was for a purse of $1,250, $800 to the first, $300 to the second and $150 to the third horse, mile heats, best three in five, in harness. There were six entries, comprising J. Dugrey's bay gelding Joker, Hiram W. Howe’s bay mare Fanny Sprague, M. Carroll’s bay gelding Ben Star, J. C. Suydam’s brown mare Constance, Dr. Heard’s bay gelding Coroner K., and Peter Mance’s bay mare Mary A. Whitney. Joker was a great favorite be- fore the start, selling in one poo) for $200, while Constance sold for $80, Ben Star for $12, and the otuer three as a field for $105. After the first heat, which was won by Joker, the poels were sold with Joker left out, and then Constance was the favorite, sclling for $100, Coroner K. for $60, and the others combined for $18, After the second heat the pools sold again with Joker out. Ben star was then the favorite, selling for $100, while all the others asa | field brought only $45, All the favorites, with the exception of Joker, were losers, The following are the details of the sport:— THE TROT.
