OPENING OF THE CLUB HOUSE YESTERDAY-— TPE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES—BRILLIANT ASSEMBLAGE, OF GUESTS—LADIES APPROVING ATHLETIC SPORTS. The vew Racket Court Club house, corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, was formally opened to the use of members yesterday. The oceasion was celobrated by a reception to which were invited the members, their friends and ladies, In addition there were displays of racket playing and boxing on the part of members of the club and professionals who had been engaged especially to give exhibitions of their skill and proficiency in their pecuhar styles. The afar was from commencement to finish a complete success, and will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to be present, To say that all of New York’s vest society was present to assist in the inanguration of the club is but to convey a slight idea of the bril- Mant assemblage which congregated in the building which has been @ wonder for so long to the public, and which was yesterday described in the Hexatn, Sofflee it to say that tho mumber of ladies who graced the club hous- by their presence conclusively sbows that tho elevate Ing pursuit of athletic sports on the part of Gotbam's favorite sons fully meets with their approbation. Some 1,600 invitations were sent out, and nearly all of this aumber responded by their presence and were received by the officers of the cinb and by them ushered to the courts where the inaugural games wero to take the place—viz., day and night racket courte, on the upper toot of the bnilding. On the second floor the band discoursed pleasing | mame in one of the anteroums, while the reception rooms were thrown open for promenading and the re- galement of visitors in the shape of a handsome colle tion, with all the usual concomitants furnished by Nel- monica, YAR AXERCINER, whieh were annonnced ty commence o'clock P.M, were carried out with a pane all clubs wonld do well to emulate, tor, as the eluck struck, “Tune was called for each event The frst was a four-handed game at rackets im the day court, between Messrs A. J. Lowery ang W. P. Dougias against H.W. Mller and Frederick May. The gamo was intensely watched by the spectators, and as each side made good play were out of three games Lt was apparent irom the firstthat Messrs, Miller aod May were the most proficient, al- their though opponents showed great agility and skill. For all this the victory tell to the Miller side in the first game, by a score of 15 w 9 aces TI second game was some- what more even, fine play being exhibited on both sides, resulting finally, however, in the furmer victors securing the laurels by a score of 15 to 13, making them the winners of the match. The result, when an- WoUDEeI, wus received with a periect ovation of ap. piause, to which the contestants modestly bowed their acknowledgments, THE SRCOND KVKNT was match game at racket between Messra Souter and Thorp, best two in three. ‘This contest wus ex- pected to prove exceedingly ciose, but Mr. Thorp, the Qrst opening of the ¢, ‘showed that slightly overmatebed.

The third aud last round resulted tn a simnt- lar way, making O'Neill the victor. Both contestants were loudly applauded at the close of the bout, as they well deserved to be, for seldom has 3 prettier and more scientific set-to been witpessed in this city. ‘An interval of half an hour theu ensued, which was utilized by an examination of the building and an inspection of the var.ous paraphernalia provided for the use of members for the development of their physique, which wero duly explaived by the amateur athletics who were deputed to do the honors of the occasion, After a tour of the different rooms bad been made, a return to the galleries above the racket court was effected in order to witness the four-handed game at rackets betwen professivpals, in woich Messrs. W. Day and J. Moore contested inst J. Keatlug and P, Fuzpatrick, THE GAME proved exceedingly exciting, and magnificent play was exhibited by both sides, so much so that frequent bursts of applause were given to the players, The match was the best tnree out of five gaines. In the first, after both sides had scored 14, the game was set by consent to three more points, r ing finally in favor of Fitzpatrick and Keating, The second game was also won by them by a score of 15 to aces In the third game, which was an exceedingly close one, Day and Moore won by a score of 15 to 14 The next, however, was decided in favor of Fitzpat- rick’s side by three points, the score standing 15 to 12, and thereby giving them the victory aod the match. 4 BOXING BOUT was next in order between Messrs. A. V. de Goicurria and N, F, de Goicurria, who are acknowledged to be two of the best ainateurs in the country, Both ex- hibited great proficien aud afier five rounds it was found impossible to declare either one the victor, The wind up of the bletic exhibition was gy 7 about by an exhibition of — tisticufs by illiam Edwards and bis brother Warwick. This was not down on the programme and most of the guests had retired to the dining room, but a soon as itbecame known that the well known * Billy” Edwards was to give an ex! on all left and proceeded to the racquet court, wh 1@ SOL=10 Was to take place, uniil every available space was occupivd. The set-tofwas exceedingly lively, notwithstanding that Billy Edwards had to abstain trom the uso of his right band, owing to its being still disabled from the effects of his late trial with Steve Taylor. He, however, managed to use it effectually in stopping, and gave his brothor all:he could do to avoid bis lett, Warrie, however, was not slow, and Tetaliated with. many a well directed and well delivered blow, Four rounds were fought with but little differ- ence betwen the two, although, if anything, the victory was a trifle on the side of Billy, This brought the exhr bition to a closo, and a move was made to the refeetory, where due justice was done to the good things provided, atier which dancing became the order of tho day. Every one who visited the club house expressed them- selves as highly pleased with their entertainment, and parted from their hosts with all kind of expressivns of good wishes, THE GUESTS.

The decision of the referve was given before he had Any opportunity of consulting the judge, and bel it Was possible for him to have formed a iair judgment. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the associa: Hon was held Satarday evening, wien it wus decided tht the race righuy betonged to Columbia; but, as the decision of the referee is, in all cases, final according to the rules of the association, 11 was impossible lor the committee to reverse bis decision or to give the Challenge Cup to the Columbia crew, although it was Fightly ‘theirs, This much I am compelied to say by & wish to see justice done to both jes, and | trust oo same b rametiad igi ged a the — as always mani may ¢ room for my le your columns. FAIR PLAY, NEREID BOAT CLUB. A BURLESQUE BEGATTA ON THE KILL YON KULL—THE CORSAIR-LIKE CHAPS WHO PLEASED THE LADIES AND AMUSED THE REAL BOATING MEN. The Nereid Boat Club of Brooklyn held its annual regatta on the Kill Von Kull yesterday. At four o'clock the steamboat Northfield, chartered for the occasion, left the foot of Montague street, Brooklyn, having 3 large party of ladies on board and a number of voating men, Arriving at the course there were several hitches im the management and a great deal of uL- mecessary delay was caused by the ignorance of the committee om piecing’ stakeboats, There were three ruces rowed, a four-oared race, distance two miles, straight away from the can buoy, between Constable’s Point and the New Brighton dock, to # point a little eastward of tho highthoure in the Kill opposite Elm Park; a pair-oared and a single scull race over a course of one and a half miles’ The members of the committee seemed so atterly at sea sod bad so much flirtation on their minds that they permitted the regatta itself, as an Englishman on bourd expressed it, “TO GO TO THE DOOSED Bow wows.” The following entries wore made tor the regatta:— RST—VOUR-OARED GIGS. ha: '— Red. “Eudora” —Blue, Bow—Jamos A.

Far a challenge cup, presented to the ciub by Mr. William H. Gludwin,—Jos. P, Earle, red; Benj. A. Jessup, blue aud white; F, B. Rogers, white, There has been a good deal of boat racing on the Kill von Kuil in days gone by, but nothing has ever been seen Lo compare wiih the regatta of tbe Nereid Boat Ciub yesterday. There was a red capped crew and a biue capped crew in the four-onred race, and to the lookere on the members of the crews seomed to have been. made up to enact a burlesque. None of the men knew how to pull, with the exception of Joe Earle, the stroke of the Reds, and Bussing, the stroke of the Blues. Bussing did his best, but he had a crew that would have struck terror into Sheridan's troopers at the Five Forks “The Reds have a splendid catoh, haven't they?” asked & man whose hat was adorned with a big red ribben, “Yes, they have,” answered an old boating man, “if they keep that catch long they will empty the Kill.” ‘The Reds beat the Blues vy six lengths, the time made being 12m. 288. by the winning crew. In the second or pair-oared race, the shouts of iaughter from the spectators were loud and long continucd as tne two crews rowed across the Killinstead of rowing down, and fouied each other with asort ccstacy, Then the Red crew stood right stili and the others rowed ahead with an awful appearance of energy until they came under the bows of a coal schooner, which they touled in the most beautiful styie, dashing the water around them madly, Time, 4m. 30a The Red pair-oared crew laid on the leeward ride of the schooner for a few more minutes, and were hidden y fiom all inspection. Then they appeared again. In the meantime, the Blues wanted to know if they would row on aud were told to “drown themselves” by the enthu- siustic crowd, who cheered derisively from the Argo- Dauta boat house. Timo was not taken in this race, which was declared not to be a race at ull. The excite- ment was terribie during this race, and at least one gentleman lost half a dollar on the result. In the single scull race Joe Earle wou by abont ten lengths, Rogers coming iu second and Jessup the worst third that ever was seen on any course. CREEDMOOR, FIRST COMPETITION FOR PLACES ON THE TEAM TO SHOOT THE RETURN IRISH MATCH. The first competition for places on tue team to shoot the return match with the trish team commenced at Creedmoor yesterday. The same number of shots were allowed as in tho competitions for positions on tho Internationa Team, viz, fifteen at 800 and 900 and twenty shots at 1,000 yards, ‘Ihe successful competi- tors in the competition for the international match wore permitted to stand on the records of their pre- vious shooting. 1x of the team avalled themselves of this rule, and they will be among the members of both toams unless the present competitors exceed their scores, There werothirteen entries yesterday, all of whom shot at the three ranges mentioned. The rain somewhat interrupted the shooting early in the after- neon and the light when firing was su! juently resamed was of a somewhat perplexing kind. Tho sky was at times clear and again clouded, apd the sunsbiue chased the shadows, coquetting the eyes of the marksmen, The wind was not particularly troublesome, so some tolerable shooting was ‘he result.

TEM POSTULANTS INVESTED WITH IT AT TES GOOD SHEPHERD CONVENT YESTERDAY. ‘The white robes of the Good Shepherd religiewse must possess a potent charm ior many Catholic young ladies: as ten of those who had passed a sucecssful postulate of six months yesterday received the white veil, robe and mantle of the Order. At two o'clock the lichts gleamed on the altars, and flowers, gathered by the deft hands of the Sisters, from their own gardens, filied the air with their sweet perfume; A carpet of scarlet and black covered the floor before the altar Tatling, and, as Miss Sayres struck tne first notes of the “Ave Maris Stella,” and the eboir of nuns in- toned the sweet hymn, the doors of the chapel were thrown open, the procession of religiewse entered the choir; the cross-bearer between two novices with lighted candies, the other nuns following im their long white choir mantics and biack vetls, also bearing lighted candles, slowly filed into their bigh backed stalls, while the Prioress and Novice Mistress con- ducted the ten young brides to tho altar railing, where they all knelt until the hymn was ended. Father Durthaler, vested 1n surplice, stole and cope, offered the introductory prayers. The choir responded, an¢ he then blessed tho candles ot the postulants, saying :— “Receive, my daughter, this exterior light, symbol of the celestial light to which Jesus Christ cails you by withdrawing you from the darkness of the world 1» which you were enveloped Put your conttdence in Him. He will be your light and your strength.” The sermon was then preached, and at its close the hyms “Veni Creator Spiritus” was sung by the choir, while the religiewse and postulants knelt before the altar. At the end of the bymn the priest asked them, “My daughters, what do you demand?” and they reptied, “Reverend Father, 1 solicit the habit of this holy house, and the favor to be tried in the practice of the Christian virtues and in the observances of the hol constitutions. One thing I have asked o/ the Lord and ‘will never cease to ask of him 1s, ¢/ I may dwell the house of tho Lord and of His Holy Mother all the days of my life, The beauty of Thy house I have loved, O Lord, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth. I have preierrod humiliation, poverty ond mor- tiflcation in the house of the Lord rather than to dwell im the tabernacies of sin- ners,” The priest then thanked God for hav- ing inspired them with this resolution and bade them listen tothe words of the Holy Spirit, which says:—‘‘Forget thy people and the house thy father that thou mayest draw down upon thee the favor- able looks of thy heaveuly Spouse.” Upon being asked if they perouvaras in their demand for the babi: of re- ligion they replied, **Yes, reverend Father, I and renew the demand I have made, hoping through the infinite goodness of God to obtain the grace of be- ing faithful to him, and tohonor and accomplish His divine will in this holy house.’ The priest then offered the prayers of TRE CEREMONY OF “ VESTURK,” asking God to ‘‘divest these, his band-maidens ei me fe oe his morals _ byoceran & cee them 6 new man who is created in holiness, tice and truth," ihe The ten postuiants then arose and each, with her lighted candle passed from the chapel to aside the bridal dress of white cashmere and the. illusion veil with its wreath of orange buds and flowers The choir began the psalm, ‘How lonely are Thy tabernacies, 0 Lord of Hosts, my soul longeth and tainteth for the courts of the Lord,’’ while the priest blessed the white serge habits, which were immediately carried to the postulants; the choir continued the psalm, while the Priest blessed the scapular, mantie, veil and rosary. The postulants then re-entered the chapel, clothed in the habit, with the guimp about the head and throat and a liven veil thrown curelossiy over the and each one knelt in turn before the priest, who gave her the scapular, saying:—‘Bear, my daughter, the amiable and light yoke of Jusus Christ, and learn of {bis God your Saviour, that He is meek and humble of heart, and that in Him alone you wiil find rest for your soul,” Each then received the white vol, “The symbol of modeasy and purity, which withdraws you from the eyes of the world, that your life may be hiaden in God with Jesus Christ’? The white rosary was also given to cach one as a ‘mark of her conse- cration to the Blessed Virgin Mary.’ When the white serge choir mantic was placed about the shoulders of each one the priest said:—‘The virgins who follow the Lamb without spot are to be clothed in white. Re- ceive, my daughter, this white garment as a mark of the purity of heart, which you will be careful ever to preserve without spot, that when the marriage feast of the Lamb is celebrated ig may be introduced in the nuptial rove, and have the happiness of following Him through He goetb.* To giving eternity wheresoever the new namo the “He who 1 victorior receive from me a name, You about to receive from Him a new one, that you may thereby be victorious over the devil, the w: sip and Youreelt; you nceforward called Sister Mary” (giving the name). ‘Bethe humble bandmaid and worthy daughter of the august Virgin whose ame you bear.’’ The pricet then Braxed that they might be blessed in their holy aspirations, and gave them the bleysing of the Holy nity. The young novices then retired to their places in the chapel aur- ing the benediction of the biessed sacrament, while Mise Sayres, assisted by the choir of nuns, sang the “Tantum Ergo.’ When this was finished the cession reformed and passed from the chapel The novices were soon joined by their iriends, who had filled the chapel on ail sides, and congratulations ‘of the warmest nature were showered upon them.

Dr. Storrs’ reason for declining was said to be because the Council pro. ordain Mr. Ely without giving him a feild of ‘ing him under the care of any o1 zation of the Church. It is believed by many of the denom. imation that the real reason of the reiusal of the twa gentiomen is that Plymouta church ‘s invited to sit in the Council, and that the Orange Vailey church hat been very friendly to Mr. Beecher. ie Rev.
