% PROSPECT PARK FAIR GROUNDS, Fine Weather and Good : Trotting. TWO EXCELLENT CONTESTS. Winthrop Morrill, Jz., the Winner of the 2:31 Purse and Young Bruno the Pre- mium for Horses That Had Never Beaten 2:27. A cloudy morning kept many lovers of the trot- ting horse from attending Prospect Park Fair Grounds yesterday afternoon, yet the exchequer was satisfactory when the books were balanced in the evening. Two fine trote came off and the Javorites were beaten in both. The “talent” were abroad again, suffering considerably, while the “yokels”’ carried away “the swag.” The first trot was for horses that had never beaten 2:31, for a purse of $1,250, $600 of which was to be given to the first horse, $300 to the second, $200 to the third and $150 to the fourth. For this race there were eight entries, comprising Hiram W. Howe’s brown gelding Sir Knight, M. Roden’s bay gelding Penobscot, A.J, Feek’s bay gelding Clothespin, J. W. Prendergast’s chestnut mare Lady Emma, J. T. Doty’s black stallion Rowe’s Tommy, C. S. Green’s gray mare Fieety Goldcust, M, Carroll’s black stallion Winthrop Morrill, Jr., and G. W. Jarvis’ brown mare Rose Standish. Sir Knight had the call in the betting until just before the scoring com- menced, when Winthrop Morrill, Jr., fetched the heaviest amounts in the pools.’ This fne young horse won the race in three straight heats, carry- ing thirty-seven pounds overweight. He was mab- aged in a masterly manner, however, by his heavy- weight driver, M. Carroll, and added much more honor and greater wealth to the Khan te who owns him, re are lew better of Win- throp Morrill’s age in America. The second trot was for a purse of $1,750, for horses that had never beaten 2:27; $850 to the first, to the second, to the third and $200 to the fourth horse; mile heats, best three in five. which was the same distance ag the previous race. For this there were eight entries. These were H. Casey's black mare tear Byron, Joh Murphy’s chestnut mare Grace Bertram, C. S. Green’s brown geiding Young Bruno, Dan Mace’s gray gelding Tammany, James Dugrey’s brown geting Foner, 4, H, Phillips’ bay elaing Ed. White, John A. McKee’s bay mare lie Brandon and Jobn 8. Baker’s bay gelding Tom Keeler, Joker was the favorite belore the start, but after the frst heat, which was won by Young Bruno, the “talent” to aman plunged on Joker, believing that the first heat was a lay up, and that in the second heat—he was intended to “go for the neat Brano beat him nicely, in extra- ordinary time, and the discomfort manifest among those who know everything on racing days was simply ridiculous. The following are the summa- Ties of the trots :— ProsPEct PaRK FAIR GROUNDS ASSOCIATION— SECOND Day OF THE AUTUMN TROTTING MEETING, September 25.—Purse $1,200 for horses that have never beaten 2:31; mile heats, best three in five, in harness; $600 to the first, $300 to the second, $200 to the third and $160 to the fourth horse.

The case of Radford, English and another, who are charged with having had in their possession a quantity of counterfeit five cent nickel pieces and moulds for the manufacture of the same, on board the canal boat Joe Travis, at pier 44 North River, was up yesterday before Commissioner :Osborn. The evidence introduced on the part of the prose- eution failed to prove that the prisoners had Placed the counterfeit money and materials for counterfeiting in the canal boat. The Commis- sioner ruled against a motion to dismiss, saying that he would put the prisoners upon their defence to show that it was possible the counterfeit stuit might have been placed in the boat by other persons, Adjourned till Saturday. In the matter of the last will and testament of Mr, Maliord Martin proceedings were initiated yesterday before Surrogate Robert C.

The examination into the charges made by a poor Jewish tailor, Joseph Jacobs, of No. 27 Ridge street, against City Marshal A. M. Ehrlich, of the Sixth District Court, of attempting to extort Mega fees {rom him in a civil suit was held yester- day, before the Mayor's Private Secretary, who has at last fonnd it advisable to listen to the complaints of poor people who apply for advice, instead of send- ing them to the HERALD, as he did in this case. Mr. Samuel Hirsch appeared as counsel for the Marshal, and A. H, H. Dawson, of Broadway, see- ing the account of the in the HERALD 0: yes- y, appeared and tendered his services grauit- a6 counsel for Mr. Jacobs. Mr. Jacobs’ old counsel in the civil proceedings, A. Feuchtwanger, of Filth street, appeared to- conduct the case for him, but Mr. Jacobs would have nothing to do with him, and selected Mr. Dawson. By consent of counsel the examination was confined to the part the Marshal had had in the case. Mr. Jacobs swore ie ively that the Marshal had told him he could the coats if he would pay him $10 as his ; Pay David Levy, the defendant's counsel, nis fees and t an order for the garments; that Ehrlich subsequently consented to take $10 and Levy's fees, Jacobs’ testimony was fully confirmed by his rife, who testified that she had been present, and that Ehrlich had told her husband that ne wanted deal of money: that it would proba- bly be for the Court fees, &c.; that he sunse- Pees 4 offered to take $15, and finally $10 as his footing or fees, The Marshal was put upon the stand and swore that he had never mentioned im, and flatly contradicted the two previous witnesses; denied that he had demanded any fees or ‘ad received any. His brother corroborated his teseimony as to the conversation between the Mai and Jacobs on one occasion, The evidence was quit. contradictory all through ; but, as Colonel Dawson juctly remarked in summing up, ‘the charge that be demanded extortionate fees on the evening whien the trial occurred betore Judge Koch is sustained by two witn and when defendant is sworn he denies that he 80 on the 23d, but does nt deny that he did demand $16 on the day of t) ¢ trial; and you, Mr. Private Secretary, cannot ove look this in Making your report to the Mayor.”’ ‘The Seeretary yesterday gave @ patient hearing to beth si and did not, for once, appear as coun- sel for the Marshal, as well as trie” of the case, which is to his credit, certainly, "be evidence ‘Will be submitted to the Mayor, Who Will probably render his decision in a Jew dayee of the following committe Standing 4 William E.

Bishop began by reterring to what had occurred since the last vention, and con- agaim to assemble, and, he hoped, aiter @ faithful eriormance of their duties. The Church is known ry ite WOFKS, as the tree is known by its iruit; and could the details be known no doubt @ vast aggre- gate of work would be shown. He next spoke of the opening of Keble Hall during the year as a pleasing and satiéfactory work, and described the character of the —instruc- tion imparted there. He also referred to other large schools, and would make no invidious comparison, he said, between Keble Halland them; they are all worthy of the highest commendation. He was thankful for these schools because of their inexpensive character; it might prevent the youth of our Church being, for the sake of economy, sent to schools to which they might not wish to be sent. Here there was thorough Christian teaching calculated to exalt the youth. The Bishop next referred to another tratiying work, the laying of the corner stone of the Mission Chapel of St. Thomas’ chureh. During the iast year he had omiciated in not less than twenty mission chapels, and he rejoiced that they were iast increasing, because they were intended for the benefit of the poor. We required, however, an increase oi the working force of the parishes, which could not fail to result in great good. The Bishop then adverted to his presence at the opening of the Home for Old Men, next to St. Luke’s church, and also of a Home for Indigent Christian Females, also in the parish o1 St. Luke’s. He had also laid the corner stone of two other churches and prunes atthe opening of St. Bartholomew's and also at the Home for Consumptives, which had been organized a few years smce. The Bishop turther proceeded to ae- tail other work that he had performed, and referred especially to his presiding at the society for assist- ing young Christian men who wish to enter tne ministry, of which he spoke in the highest terms. He urged, however, the greatest caution and cir- cumspection as to the applications of this elass of Barnabas House of the Good Shepherd in Mulberry street, There had heen 1,657 persons cared for there during the year; 505 had been provided with work, 546 with home as and 412 had been returned to their iriends. Over 18,000 had been lodged there, and meals had been provided for $1,642, The sisters of Mary of the Holy Commun- ion and the Sheltering Arms and other institutions were reterred to by the Bishop, and eactt warmly The venerable prelate alluded to the last reunion of the alumniof the General Theo- beautiful tribute tothe memory of the late Dr. ent on that occasion. The deaths of Drs, Vinton and Seabury, which had also occurred during the year, were referred to, and also the sudden death of the Bisnop of Winchester. in Eng- land, of whose character and splendid career Bishop Potter spoke at great length. He suggested some movement here to do honor to his memory. The Bishop then spoke of the many good works of the past year. very cheering one Was the removal of many encumbrances trom churches which had been accomplished. He then Congregation remaining standing while the he considered was liable to abuse.

Proper revere jhould be shown on such occasions. During the addresses of the adminis- tration of baptism and the rite of confirmation the people should stand, and not sit, thus showing ap- parent respect for the services. THE PROPOSED CATHEDRAL. Speaking of holy places (continued the Bisnop), I must now refer to the movement to erect an Episcopal cathedral in this city. The committee appointed to prepare for that great work have pro- cured a charter from the Legislature and periormed various duties incidental to their great charge. ‘They are aesirous not to interfere with the chari- table enterprises of thegdioceses, but to proceed slowly and pow Many munificent subscriptions | have been received, but as the charter was ob- tained late in the spring it is not to be supposed that the committee should be avie to make great progress. Such @ vast work cannot be accom- lished in a few weeks, or im @ month, or in @ year. tis necessarily slow. The committee are empow- ered to select real estate @s @ site for the proposed cathedral, As to the large general consecration of duty that is required tor the work, | believe it 1s not absent. 1 believe, too, that this great opera- tion will awaken a spirit of devotion—a conscious- ness of new strength—and infuse more vigorous lie and prosperity into the Church. Nesources will always be opened for such a grand undertak- ing. The Bishop then passed on to consider the important subject of the scepticism of the age, a subject to wnich, he said, he referred in his address four years ago. He had nothing new to offer on the question, but proper devotion to the interests of the Church demanded that he should again pre- sent his views. <A great deal of discussion had taken place on the matter, but the discussion as conducted only tended to injure the Cause it was designed to serve. ‘There were times when a pas- tor, by purity of reason and Christian truth, should meet and combat scepticism; but the duty should be done witn due care and reverence. Sometimes men opposed to the truth inculcated views which were deceptive, an@ hostile not only to the best instincts of their nature, but to the | revelation of God, Such peopie, not content with making war on the natural, actually aimed to overthrow the supernatural. It was the duty of the pastor to meet all such error, Having passed part of his early life in learning some ot the sciences he was not wanting in respect for scien- tifle men. Some of them were among the uoblest men of their race, and he had the happiness of calling a few members of the class his friends, But there was a great difference between science prop. erly studied and science impropeily studied. The Book of Nature and the Book oj Kevelation were in harmony, despite all the false deductions of jalse philosophy and false science. The Bishop then relerred to the various Jaise systems of hilosophy, which insured popular belie! for a Fime and then passed away alter @ Lopeiess confict with revealed religion into the maze of ancient error which had lived its little day, Not even the names of one iu a thousand who had assailed Christianity were known in this generation. Like the alchemists, they may make very usetul obser- vations, but they cannot discover the philosopher's sione. They are not able to show how reason and conscience may be evolved out of mere physical elements, The Bishop then reterred to the recent false nottons on the subject of prayer and its em- cacy—notions which, he said, could only be con- ceived by minds which are too far removed trom the truth to admit of the bare possibility of their comprehending immortal things. Alter recess, on motion, the Trustees for the lection reported, and the fol- Deputies to the Haight, Cook, ‘The Inspectors of Convention :—Rey.

Another Interesting and Solemn Ser- vice at the Convent of Mercy, in East Houston Street. e At an early hour yesterday morning the unfash- jonable precincts of East Houston street might be seen filled with some of the best of New York's favored daughters, who were hurrying to the lovely chapel of the Convent of Mercy, there to witness the solemn profeasion of Miss Anna Aufenanger, who is known in rehgion as Sister Mary Antonia. As the guests entered the massive portals of St. Catherine’s Convent they presented ‘their cards of invitation to the lady in waiting, and were immediately ushered into the chapel, where they were greeted with a myriad of glowing tights and the perfume of sweet flowers which filled the air with the fragrance of rosy June. Scarce seated long enough for expectation to anticipate what might follow, the guests were greeted by the grand tones of the choir, singing joyously, “0! Gloriosa Virginui,” and simultaneously with the first Strains of the music the processton entered the chapel; first the postulants, then the novices, fol- lowed by the proiessed nuns, the Superioress lead- ing by the hand the candidate for the black veil, These having retired to their respective places in the chapel, the young novice remaining kneeling near the altar, the reverend clergymen then en- tered the sanctuary, and the celebrant, kneeling at the foot of the altar, intoned the “Vent Creator Spiritus.” The choir took up and continued the refrain to its close, all the religious remaining knecling. After the hymo had ceased the cele- brant ascended the steps of the altar and blessed the veil, saying, “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” the religious responding, “Who made heaven and eurth.’’ ‘These, with other vers- icles, responses and prayers, concluded the bioaaing. of the veil, when the celebrant also lessead = the ver ring, beginning with the same formula, “Our help is in the mame of the Lord;” ater which he recited the Gospel of the ceremony—Matthew xvi., 24-23— wherein Christ told His disciples that they who would come after Him should deny themselves, take up their cross and follow Him. ‘Theu, in touching words, followed the sermon, exhorting this young soul to persevere in the path she had chosen, aiter two and a half years of ma- ture deliberation, and urging upon her the neces- Bity Of self-denial and self-renunciation, if she would indeed ve like the meek and lowly Jesus, who went about doing naught but good. With re- peated words of encouragement the sermon closed, and the novice advanced to the foot of the altar, where the celebrant asked, “My child, what is your demand; ‘The novice replied, “Reverend father, 1 most humbly beg to be received to the holy profession.” ‘Tue celebrant then asked her i she considered herself sufficiently in- structed in what regar@s the vows of religion and the obligations contracted by the holy profession; and she replied, “Yes, reverend father, by the grace of God.” The celebrant then prayed God to grant her perseverance in her holy resolution, and then turning to the altar he began the celebration of the mass of the Hely Ghost, praying especially for the novice who was abeut to consummate her vows. Alter the celebrant had communicated, the Superioress said aloud, “Offer to God the sacrifice of praise ;” the religious pees “And pay thy vows to the Most High.” The novice responded, “I will pay my vows tothe Lord in the sight of all His people, in the courts of the house of the Lord.” After the recitation of the ‘Contiteor’ the cele- brant uttered the words, “Lord, I am not worthy that ‘Ihou shouldst enter under my roof,” and ap- proached the novice with the adorable Lat yoy f which he held before her eyes while she pronounce the vow that now binds her indissolubly to the ser- vice or God in ministering to the poor, sick and ignorant; and she then made the sign of the cross after her signature, which she bad previously appended to her written vows, and received the Holy Communion with the words from the celebrant, ‘What God has commenced in thee may He Himself perfect: and, rising from her knees, she retired a step and again knelt, dur- ing the recital of appropriate prayers, She again advanced to the altar and again knelt down, during the continuance of other press, when she arose and said, ‘hou hast held my rigut hand, and by Thy will Thou hast conducted and with. glory Thou hast received me.” The religious re- ) meg “For what have I in Heaven, and besides ‘hee what dol desire upon earth’ Other vers- icles followed, and then the choir sang, ‘Come, spouse of Christ,’ while the novice knelt to receive the black veil, ‘the emblem of modesty and chastity,’’ she saying, “He has placed His seal upon my forehead that I should admit no other lover bat Thee,”.the choir singing, meantime, “Oome, my beloved, come to be espoused.’’ The blessed ring was then piaced ig the third Guger of her jeft hand, with the words, “I espouse thee to Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father most high, who shall preserve thee inviolave. Receive, therefore, this ring, the seal of faith and oi of the Holy Ghost, that thou mayest be called the spouse of Christ, and if thou shalt serve Hum faithfully thou shalt be crowned forever.” The newly professed non then retired from the altar reciting appropriate versicles and prostrated herself, while the choir sang the ‘Te Deum.” The hymn being finished the celebrant again prayed the Lord to look with mercy upon this young virgin, and thenj bade her arise. ‘The nesistant raised her, coudu€ted her to the Superioress, where she knelt for the blessing this dear lady gives so tenderly to uli her daughters in Christ, received the kiss of peace and conveyed it to her companions, the choir singing “Behold how good and how pieas- ant it 18 for brethren to dwell together in unity.” ‘Tne psalm ended, the religious retired in the same order as upon entering. Rev. Fathers McGean, McDowall, Kearney, Kes- seller and Kean were present, Rev. Father Eugene, of the Franciscans, oMiciated, and Rev. Fatuer O’Caliaghan, of Cork, graced the assembiage with his presence.
