LAST PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. The sixth and last Philharmonic concert was given jist night atthe Academy of Music, The attendance was small, notwithstanding the many features of the Dill, the cause undoubtedly being the superior attrac- 28 of the symphony concert given at the same at Steinway Hall, The concert commenced with tom the Symphony, No. 4, im B flat’ major, *pro- nounced by many to be, in point of formy the most finished of the immortal nine of Beethoven. Mr. George Matzka conducted, and cer- tainly the performance Was a yast improvement on the playing of the orchestra on previous occasions, during the last two seasons, Decision, firmness, unanimity and intelligent reading were evinced. The | Jovely adagio that ushers 1m the symphony was | breathed forth, so to speak, and naught of its ethereal beauty marred, The alegro vivace, into which the in- troduction seemed to glide imperceptibly, was also rendered with a thorough appreciation of the com- poser’s ideas, The allegro vivace of the third move- ment, so graceful and sparkling, and the inimitable finale, with its impetuous phrases that follow each other in rapid succession, flashing like tone meteors, lost none of their charms at the hands of the orchestra, Mr SB, Mills then played Chopin’s concerto for piano, in E miner, opus 11, with orchestral accompant- ment, Mr, Mills bas earned long since, by his untiring industry in this most auificult’ field of piano music, the reputation of being an accomplished interpreter of Chopin’s works. On this occasion he tairly surpassed all pre_ vious successes in concert. He brought to the work the highest qualities of neat, finished execution, by which every phrase was, as it were, photograpned with the utinost distinctness, each note receiving its due value, as it on it individually depended the suc- cess of the interpretation, The touch of the pianist was of the emotional Kind that seems to draw from the keys every pi artistic feoling, 18 calculated to convey ‘the poetic thoughts of Chopin in all their © loveliness, The concerto 1s exceedingly long, especially the frst movement, allegro maestoso, which is therefore rarely given m the concert hall, The extreme length | | of this movement detracts much from its merit, repeti- tions being frequent and to some extent unnecessary, The romance, laryhetto, that succeeds is a charm- ing specimen of tone painting, and demands an inter- pretation delicate to the utmost degree. The delicacy of the movement cannot be adequately described un- less we use tho words of a Berlioz devotee when speak- ing of Queen Mab in the ‘Romeo and Jaliet” sy phon: ‘The coatessions of ros violets, are noisy in comparison.” The same may be said of the rondo that concludes the erto, as the greater number of its phrases are of limy texture, The passages in the rondo which ompany the quartet of united strings were mar layed. ‘The effect was somewhat similar to fe stop on the organ. Such an effect has seldom if ever been produced from a grand piano b fore.

There are beautiful thoughts in it, choice themes, but the general construction of the work is not in accordance with the canons of true taste, Men- deissohn’s grand overture closed the concert, “A Calm Sea the introduce THEODORE THOMAS’ LAST SYMPHONY CONCERT. Steinway Hall presented a brilliant sight lust even- ing. It was crowded to its utmost capacity, and it would seem as if very fashionable event was in progress. The occasion was one of unusual musical in- conductor who has fuirly earned the esteem and gratitude of the American public by his earnest endeayors in the cause of the hnghost standard of music. Thomas we are indebted for the production of the grandest works in musical literature, His career has been one of unilagging industry, noble ambition and triumphs in his protession that rarely fall to the lot of a musical director. The ninth season of symphony con- certs which closed last evening has shown progress, not- withstanding the brilliant record of its predecessors, Notwithstanding the utter paralyzation of the business | world during the past season the flnauctal result of Mr, ‘Thomas’ cot before. When other entertainments lauguished for wantof patronage his orchestra always found before them crowded houses, Last evening was quite a triumph for this incomparable band of virtuogi. ‘The programme was composed of the following works: Overture, Leonore, No. 3, Begthoven; variatio: (theme by Haydn), op. 66, Br spinning choru and ballade (second act of Phantom Ship), Wagn Miss Lina Pfeil, Miss K. L. Harrison and female choru symphony in C, No, 9 (andante allegro ma non troppo, | andaute con moto, scherzo allegro vivace, tinale ullegro | Vivace), Schubert, . It represented a quartette of composers that typify the most interesting schools of music, The third and | perhaps best of the four overtures to “Fidelio,” was | played with that wonderful breadth of power, in lensity of expression and effect that could only be e: pected from fhomas’ orchestra, Branm’s variations in the Haydn melody are characterized by all the lux riance of style for which Johannes Brahins is remark- | able, and yet in no wise is the charming | simplicity of the orignal injared, ‘The principal fea- ture, however, as a novelty was the 8 Wagner's opera, which is known as Manger,’ “1/Olandese Dannato” and “Phantom Ship, ”? The spinning chorus is considered Uwe gem of the | opera and the mauner in which it was rendered was an incontestable proof of tho excellent traimng of the twenty ladies who took part in it, Senta’s ballad, im | which she recounts the history of the Flying Dutch. | man has a very singular melody of decidedly Scandi- | navian origin, Miss Pfeil sang it admirably and al- though her voice may not be of a suilicicntly heavy | calivre for such a dramatic scene, yet the purity of its tone, the finish of’ her style | of singing and | her intelligent phrasing and passionate expression, compensated for much of the weakness chat youth and inexperience in | publicsinging must be subject to. The glorious Schubert symphony was rendered with rare skill by the orches- tra. They seemed to be quite en rapport with the work. The absence of Theodore Thomas and bis band from New York during the coming summer will be | sorely felt. The appreciative public of the metropohs | have been so long accustomed to those delighttul sum. | mer concerts of Thomas that there will be found a pal- pable blank im our musical entertamments during the dog days, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES.

THE INAUGUBAL BREEDERS’ CENTENNIAL TROT- TING MEETING—THE LARGEST ENTRIES RVEB KNOWN IN TROTTING HISTORY—SHALL IT BE- COME A LEADING ANNUAL EVENT? The unprecedented number of entries to the four races of this meeting, whieh closed April 15, is an un- | deniable index to the widespread interest which tt has | created among breeders and handlers of trotting colts, ‘The advantages to be attained by the establishment of a breeders’ meeting as an annual. event were so tersely | and forcibly set forth by the managers of the enter- | Prise as tu meet the acquiescence of the entire com- munity of breeders. A weil chosen programme was | then announced for four races, arranged with reference to advancing the younger class Of stock usually re- tained upon the stud farms, to be followed by a sup- | plementary programme to complete a four days’ meet- | ing should the rst fll in a manner to warrant it. ‘The results of the closing of the four races, 80 far a8 then known, were published in the Heraup of last Sunday, but other entries subsequently arrived aug- menting the number to an aggregate of 119 iu the four | races, This shows that the breeders are not only alive to the occasion, but that | the managers, Messrs, Kellogg & Conley, have succeeded in arranging a meeting eminently acceptable tothem, We find among the subseribers to these races men that have not heretofore trotted ther | T horses for public purses, in such numbers as (o clearly has been reached. This result ts mainly due to the ex- tensive personal acquaintance of the managers among breeders and the confidence and esteem that several | j, years of intercourse with them bas engendered. Mr. Peter C, Kellogg, better known by his nom de plume of | ‘Hark Comstock,” is well known throughout the country as au able writer and practieal selecter of brecding stock; while Mr. Joha W. Conley, having been identified with the saie of Blackwood, Lulu, Rosalind, May Queen, and with the turf career of other noted trotiers, is extensively known personally and by repute as a capital business Manager 1m matters pertaining to the trotting. track. carrying the work so auspiciously begun to a brillant and successful issue. Each race is for a purse of $2,500, in four parts:— The Revolution Race, for three-year-olds, mile heats, in harness, received thirty-eight entries, embracing two or three that showed public form of a superior | order last season, noticeably Odd Fellow, by Vindex, with a two-year-old record of straight heats in f 2494. One of the entries is from California and another from Maine, while almost every intermediate grazing State furnishes others either to this or the remaining races, The sires most prominently represented in the Revolution Race aro Blackwood (of the tine of Alexander’s Norman, sire of Luiu and May Queen); the stallion Chief, of Mr. H. Durkee’s Spring Hill stock farm, Flushing, L. 1; Messenger Duroc, the fashionable monarch of the Stonyford stud, of which Mr. Charles Backman, of Goshen, N. Y., 18 proprietor; Happy Medium, the son of Rysdyk’s Hambletonian and Princess, the whilom competitor of Flora Temple in days of yore, owned by Mr. Robert Steel, of Philadelphia; Almont, owned by General William T. Withers, of Lexington, Ky., got by Alexander’s Abdallah, the sire of Goldsmith Maid, and himself one of the most popular sires of the Blue | Grass region of his State. Rysdyk’s Hambictonian sends two, of which one is an own brother to Bruno, Bru- nette, Young Bruno, Breeze, &c.; and Woodford Mam- brino, owned at Woodbarn, tho grand estate of Mr. A, J. Alexander, of Kentucky, whose annual sales of thoroughbred yearlings develop such round prices, and whose herd of shorthorn cattle embraces mor. of the highly-prized Duchess blood than any other of either this country or Europe, Each of these sires is represented by more than one of his get, the uum- bers ranging from two to seven in the case of ilack- wood, The lines of Ethan Allea, Fearoaught and Mam- brino Chief are also represented; while not less than ten sires that are sons of Ryadyk’s Hambletonian have aspired to send a winner into this tho most prominent and probably the finest of all three-year-old trotting taces ever organized, The Independence Race for five-year-olds will be trotted on the same day with the Revolution Race, September 26. It fills with twenty-one cutrics, being the least in number of the four; but, takenas a whole, they are a famous lot, and the race bids fair to be one of the best drawing features of the meeting. The most dangerous looking entry in the ist is Governor Sprague, by Rhode Island, dam by Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, con: sidering that he showed public trials last year at two of the large circuit meetings better than 2:22—an un- precedented mark for a four-year-ohl, and one which, although he 1s without record, cauged him to be barred from the Continental Race for stallions that have mever beaten 2:40. Blackwood, Jr., 18 also in and report credits him with being iv better form than he showed in public last fall. His record as a four-year-old is 2;32, but he claims to have méde a private mile in which the last two figures were reversed.

Evidences of improve- Ment in the accommodations and beauties of the place are visible at various points on the grounds, and seem to indicate that an interesting and active season for shooters is at band, and its advent is being providea for. In one portion of the park a party of the Seventh regiment was practising at short range yesterday, the prize for successful -marksmanship being a trophy known in the technique of Remington manipulators as “shells”? The great point of interest, however, was the long range section, where at distances of 1,000, 900 and 800 yards veterans of tho rifle, such as Yale and Fulton, contested for tho Geiger trophy. Here tho greatest attention was paid to the scores, and Judge Gil- dersleeve and a number of friends stood by digcussing the merits of the contestants and noting every marked instance of success, Although the day was warm and cheerful, there was, unfortunately, a strong wind blowing, and this tended to tly embarrass the marksmen, as it caused a divergence in the balls from therr direct line of propaision. The match was, how- THE by Joe Hooker; the bay mare Alethea (record 2:31), by Almont, entered by Treacy and Nickol’s, of Lexing- ton, Ky., and the bay mam Neli, by Thomas Jefferson, out of a mare by Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, that was a close second to Piedmont when he made his best record, are the most prominent of the female division, Girhe, by George Wilkes, was ay extraordinary three-year-old, but was out of form las season.
