At the or | beginning of the pool selling Gerald was the | savorite over the fleld at odds, but as the horses were being saddted Cariboo sold as favorite at nearly 2to Lover the field, and, aiter losing the first heat, he was the favorite at 4 tol. Belore the start for the second beat, the judges suspect- ing that something was wrong, changed the rider oi Gerald, and then the “little game’? was upset, as Gerald won the race very easily, The second race had but two starters, George Ayres’ chestnut colt Erastus Corning, by Light- ning, dam Nora Creina, 3 years old, carrying 90 lbs., and John Boughrau’s chestnut horse Cam- den, by Bulletin, dam by Leviathan, 6 years old, carrying 118 ibs, Erastus Corning was @ great favorite before the start, but, being beaten tho firs: heat py Camden, the latter had toe call ip the betting at 10 to 4 belore the start or second, Cam- | den won the race very easily.

During 1873 there were ‘116,694 books delivered to readers in the hall, over £,000 more than in 1872, During 1873 there were 28,438 readers in the halis of the Library, and each: read or consulted four volumes; 1,163 persons entered the alcoves 6,518 times. It will be seen Srom these figures that the Astor Library is a won- derfui atd to our students and generai readers, and that it w steady growing in popularity and use uiness. THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY has been kept open through the summer ‘or the benefit of people Who remutued in tue city, but its Jssue of books has been comparatively littie, The | Yeading room in connection With it has been closed, however, and rearranged.

The Mbrary is being continually added to, and for this reason the suggestion in the last report that the sesociation should erect @ ouilding, is likely soon VW be acted upon. The growth of the city and the sequent distance that many subscribers now have to pass to reach the library has urged the association to again begin the practice o! deliver- ing books at the homes of those subscribers. This system will begin within a lew weeks. i THE APPRENTICES’ LIBRARY, | sitnated on Broadway, near Broome strect, has | been, and is, one of the most valuable institutions im this city, itis tne creation of the General So- wiety of Mechanics and Tradesmen, and was | founded vetore this century began, In connection with it is @ vainable collection of works ot refer- | ence, known as the De Milt Library, named after | ite founder, @ decesed member of the Society of | Tradesmen, &c, in the Apprentices’ Library gicper there are abont 48,000 volumes, in the De | Ut Library about 6,000.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 9, 1874. { The character of the present art exhibition 18 largely French, while in ali previous ones it was almost exclusively German. There are more | paintings of the Dusseldorf school in Cincinnati | than there are tu any city of the Old or New World. | Lessing, Audreas and Oswald Achenbacus, Hans | Gude and Schirmer are stronzly represented in | the few private collections of this city. These | Paintiogs have all been exutbited in previous ex- | | positions, and the Art Committee this year, owing | tothe pressure upon it of a very ardent acmirer of French art, has made very heavy requisitions upon dealers and owners of French paintings. Bierstadv’s “Autumn in the Sivrra Nevada,” loaned by the artist, is one of the works which | attract @ great deal of attention from the public, | This, and Church’s well known “Niagara Falls,” fre both striking examples of the bold and auda- | cious character of American landscape painting. — | Whue the great German artists impress upon | their landscapes thetr own thoughtful and melan- | choly moods, and carefully curve the lines of | mountain and fleid into the classic torms which immortal; and the | French artist wins your admiration by the rugged | reatity of his moor and gien and the so-called dash- | | | ing “bits of color,” our American artists—or, at | least, those mentioned above—seek to overwhelm the spectator with the sense of awe and sublimity | which the presence of such Titans as the Niagara Falla, the Rocky Mountains and ‘be stupendous | canyons of California excites im the beholder. | | And in spite of the huge canvas, the local coloring | aud the general topographical accuracy of drawing | | the very effect sought after is wanting, for the | | very cogent reason that to condense the sublime | and confine it within the bounds of an easel picture 18 @ feat not fatrly within the boundaries of art Mr. Vaine, now of New York, has three or four ) Paintings upon exhibition, One, “The Page of the Duchess,” is an excellent example of the painter's talent. The young page, a charming boy, in blue velyet and white silk stockings, holds the | riding hat with its gorgeous plume of his mistress, and a sword, incased in a velvet scabbard as bigh | | as himself, of nis master; or both hat aud sword | | may belong to the duke, and in that case the | | painting might have been called the page of the duke. Tne picture 18 sensuous in color, bold in conception and painted with wonderiul accuracy and freedom. | There is another picture here by the same artist, | which is vained at ten times the price of the other, | but is certainly not ten times better. It repre- sents @ scene from Florentine history—the | naughty Duchess of St. Guiliano gazing upon the head of her rival, which lies like a pincushion upon the table before her, and which has evidently been ordered, so that the Duchess may move the conscience of her guilty husband, ieaving her own jor the present | out of the question, The Duchess ts not hand- | some, but there is 9 world of meaning in her eyes | and mduth. The head of her rival, with its childish jeatures and fine silky blond hair and | deadly patior, 33 not an interesting object now, ! whatever she may have been tn hie, In spite of the vigor of the painting, the thought evinced in | its conéeption and its admirable color, we are in- | clined to think such paintings more appropriate to | the Chamber of ltorrors shown by Mme. ‘Tussaud | than 1a any private or public gallery. The Thebans—at least so says a distinguished | eritic—bad alaw which punisbed an artist who | produced an ugly statue or painting. If this law was in lorce among modern nations some distin- guished names would be associated with this | penalty. | Take Decamp’s “Suicide,” loaned by Mr. Blodg- | ett, as another striking instance of a sensational | picture. Upon a mattress, in the corner of a dark | room, lies the figure of the suicide, with just sum- | cient ligat in the room to show the pistol upon the | floor, the outstretched figure, with its ominous patch of blood upon tue side of the head, and the ieless hand banging Irom the bed to the floor. The palette of a painter hangs upon the wall, and | tue wretchea garret teils a tale of poverty aud gaunt despair. ‘The color is a very successful imi- tation of the transparent brown so powertully | used by Rembranat, and the dramatic story is } given with graphic power.

Below it 1s one by Turner, from the Gillott co}- | lection, wud owned by @ Cincinuatian. The taine | of Turner is one of those problems which neither a Frenchman nor a German can understand. “Was It on account of his religion ?”’ we once heard la be thd ask, who coacluded that ‘“‘bigoteric,”? as he cal it, Was the dearest thing in tne Eng- \ lish breast. | Few men that ever lived have had such an ex- travagant dithyramb sung in their laudation as Pasea- lenty of room to | vant, in turee volumes, found | describe every work of the great Urbino, ; and Grimm did the honors of Michael Angelo in two; but five octavo volumes was the | smallest cadre in which Ruskin could compress the gigantic proportions of Turner. To this we _ have butene remaik to aad, that we may doubt | tne permanent fame ol any artist who is renowned | in London for halt a cenvury and utterly and com- | pletely ignored in Berlin, Paris and Rome. Tue Lemaed in question, however, is what ts cailed here a glorious ‘hit of color.” It is early | morning on the English coast, and there 1s fog, | sun, clouds, water and light ali ruuaing into eacit other, so that the picture tarned topsy-turvy would look just a$ well in tuat position as in any other. | Of course its suggestive, sketchy, thick, bold, | warm, and, as Brouks, of Middiemarca, says, “has | fdeas, you know, and all that sort of ihing,” ‘Three men, in black coats, black pantaloons, black hats and boots, are grouped at one side of the arch, while, coming through it from the other side, | 18 another representative of American male civil | zation, in biack go-to-meeting Sunday clothes, | With a stovepipe on his head and a young lady | leaning on his arm. “Now, here,’’ thought we, “is an attempted grand old relic of antiquity; but waat have stove- pipe bats and black surtonts to do with “Constan- tine’s Iriumphal Sonvenir?? the tone low, and the arrangement or composition is very simpie.

M. Shroff be- fore the members of the Ijberal Club, at Plimpton Hall, last night. The lecturer is a Parsee native of Bombay, and bis subject was “Education and Social Progress in India,” | Mr. Shroff speaks Eng- | lish with great fluency, ant he writes it elegantly, showing a complete mastery of its most difficult idioms, He gave the gretter part of nis paper | to a history of bir rry ae and their first results in Calcutta. The Kindoo College, the first Teal attempt at educating he people of Indta, he showed was established wiih diticuity. When the primary troubles had been passed, and the insti- tution Was progressing slowly yet favorably, the minds of the young Hindov students became im- regnated with heresies of all kinds. They did not accept Christianity, yet they insulted the religious practices of the orthodox Hindoos, Their doings they had an effect on social progress, Mr. Shroff Sketched the educational syitem which had been provided for women, and eaowed that it has roduced as yet but little fruit, He showed that here has been but little reform among the indi- vidual Hindoos, none in the domestic concerns of the people, and that there are only a few instances of genera) reform. Yet he assured his hear- ers that much social progress has been lime, if the quidnune 1a correct whom we quoied, that Raphael is simply consulted out of curiosity. In five artists’ proois, by the same artist, there are the “Second Group of the Aposties,” “st. | Agatha,” “The Two Deacons” and the “Madonna del Velo” commenced by Longhi and finished, alter lis death, ny Toscnl, Of all modern engravers Guisseppe Longhi was the only one who combined the highest tectinical skill with the knowledge that this power of exe- cution must always be subordinated to the supject he is reproducing, snd in giving, also, the | t poattion to form, not color. | Here 18 his “Reading Magdalen” atter Corregio. | { He gives the eifvct o1 the blue robe which covers the iower part of the figure by a certain manner of cross-hatching, and then notice how wonder- fully the reflex lights the tints o! the flesb, the changing shadows, and the round, full Jorm of | beauty are all produced with the purin, | Upon the catalogue this sheet 1s described as An artist's proof before ad letters. Bue we per- | celve that it has been cut down close to the en- graving and then mounted upon a nice white | carton. This, to say the least, is a very suspicious | circumstance, jor we certainly think that not even a crazy Englishman wouid cut the margin entirely off a proof of this beautiiul print simply jor the more convenient purpose of iraming it. The im- | pression, however, is guite oriilant, There are good specimens also irom Wooliett, Strange, Saoarp, Mueller and @ tost of minor engravers. since the days of Longhi, Edelinck aud Morghen, no eugraver has shown such extraordinary talent jor the burm as Mandel, born in 1810, The wonderful brilliancy ta his sheets, and soitness of some of hines—as in the chair Madonna—bas made him @ rival ot Morghen. If he has @ fault it is that he ts too anxious to reproduce the color of his subjects. The ‘Madonna Colle Stelle” is here seen with the “remarqué,” the three unfinished siars, This, one of the most famous of Carlo Dolce’s Madonnas, is fortunate in possessing so gilted a translator as Mandel. The “Great Elector,” irom the same artist, is a | unique impression, baving been taken from a pri- | vate plate, At the end of the gallery is an artist’s proof of a | steel plate engraving, by Hool, a living English | engraver, it is like a statue of Rogers, beside the beautiful remnants of the Parthenon, 1n compari- son with even an engraving by Durer. Art has someoow got crushed between the wheels of modern Civilized machinery, and what we have 4 left is almost a caricature of what has been, Beiore leaving the building, however, we must | walk through the norch gallery, where the so- | called houseuold art is exhibited. It makes a very incerescing display. There are quantities of people ‘Who dO not care ior either paintings, engravings or sculpture, but who do like to surround them- seives With quaint cabinets, Mosaic inlaid tabies, artistically designed table plate, sumptuous paneis, Sevres porcelain and exquisitely carved étageres; and here are rare and costly samples of the same. Tiffany & Co, have contributed some very valuable and costiy articles, An oxidized silver vase worked in Arabesque, a bronze bust of Cleopatra, a very Deautitul pair of Japanese vases, cut with all the neatuess aud cunning peculiar to the skilful bands of the artusts ol Japan, with other bronze groups of fine artistic workmanship. Sypher & Co. contribute marbie busts, inlaid card tables and old Dutch clocks of venerable memory, while exhibited by the natives are cabinets of the renaissance- Bohemian giass—china cups and saucers in possession O1 the famuly ever since the children of Israel retused to make bricks without straw in the land 0!

In the HERaLp of September 7 was given the nis- tory, 23 jar as then could be learned, of the case of Mary Grover, @ little girl, stolen from her parents, in New York, in August, 1860, and never heard of until last June.

Early yesterday morning Mrs. Mary Annie Hall, Of age, wife of Richard Hall, died at her residence, No, 148 Wooster street, from the effects of mal- practice. On Tuesday last Dr. F. W. Tucker, of No. 61 Mac- dougal street, was called to see Mrs. Hall, who at that time did not divuige to him the correct nature of her troubles and seemed inclined to conceal the facts from the Doctor. On Thursday morning Dr, Tucker was called again, at which time he found Mrs. Hall alarmingly ill, and, naving his suspicions aroused, he closely questioned her, whereupon she became communi- cative and said that, not wisting to have any more children, she had taken oil of tanzy and swallowed large quantities of Brandreth’s pills, | ‘with the view of accomplishing the desired result, At this announcement Dr. Tucker called in con- | sultation Dr. Thomas ©. Finnell, of West Houston | street, to whom Mrs, Hall repeated the statement | asto what she had taken and for the purpose in- | tended. Mrs. Hail continued to | oad worse and | died as stated. Mr. Hall, it is said, knew nothing | whatever of what his wife had done till aiter she | had taken the medicines. Coroner Croker was no- tified, and Deputy Coroner MacWhinnie will make a post-mortem examination on the body of deceased, At the time of her deata Mrs. Hall had two or three children living, The death of Mrs. Hall was due to exhaustion from metro peritonitis, the result of malpractice, Deceased was a native of England.
