As a two-year- old he ran but twice, first inthe Lodmoor and Ilford stakes at Weymouth, in both of which he was uh- placed; while last year the colt ran two losing races at Cheltenham and Liverpool, since which time he has not been seen in public until to-day. The second in the race and the favorite before the start, Wooulands, was purchased by his present owner from Mr. J. Terry for £1,500 after winning the Findon Stakes at Goodwood in 1874. Ho was then, as new, trained by William Goater, at Miche! Grove. He beat Galba by a head only in that race, but had behind him such speedy youngsters as Stray Shot and Prince Ar- thur. The next appearance of Woodlands wasalsoa win- ning one, at Brighton, in the Corporation Stakes, Galba again finishing second.

Merry Duchess, the third in the race, made her firss appearance last year at Chester, where she was beaten ashort head by Bellafor the Mostyn St: kes, Levant being third, and five othersin the rear. A$ the same meeting the filly ran in the Badminton Stakes, but was unplaced to Bella, ana her first victory was at the sec- ond spring meeting, at ‘headquarters,’ where she won the Newmarket Two-Year-Old Piite by half a. length from King of the Vale and eight others.

Yesterday Mr. Aucust Belmont opened his celo- brated private gallery in aid of the Centennial Loan Exhibition, and the public had the opportunity of Studying one of the finest collections of paintings in America, The rooms were crowded by the lovers of art all day, from nine o'clock until the dusk, and the jnterestin Mr, Belmont’s superb pictures was de- cidedly sincere and enthusiastic. Few gentiomen would consent to throw their personal collections open to the public, for reasons which are plain; yet Mr. Belmont was complimented with a brilliant as- sembly of artists and conaoisscurs, who appreciated his superb gathering of pictures ona fully understood the liberal purpose of the exhibition, There was no Treason for the collection of canes, by the colored gen- tlemen at the entrance, for the class ot people who were present, did not desire to attract attention toa fine point, by poking @ hole in a high light, or to de- scribe the famous exact circio of Giotto on the face of a fine painting with the end of an umbrella, Haydon, the English parmter, said that when Tom and Mary went to see a_ celebrated statug they wrote their names upon the marble, so that if Jim and Betsy came afterward they would know that Tom and Mary had beon there before thom, This was | English appreciation, in that day, but Mr. Belmont’s | gentle- | acted | and and ladies motives, gallery was attonded by mon who respected his as if they wero his personal visitors. had invited bis friends to a private view of his gallery, they could not have shown moro delicacy than tho public did, and we rejoice to note this fact a8 a proof of the artistic appreciation of New York. The Belmont Gallery is nota large one, The cata- logue, which no visitor should neglect to use, contains ninety-three numbers, but nincty-three first class pic- tures are rarely hung side by side ina gallery. Thero 18 not a single picture in the Belmont collection that is not a prize. If the English collection st the Centennial Exhibition 1s excepted, all the pictures at Memorial Hall do not contain as much’ sterling merit, as great power, as remarkable contrasts, as this private gallery, Mr. Belmont has seemed to have chosen his paintings on the Darwinian theory, “the survival of tho fittest,’ and he has excluded good -pictures for the ben- oft of the better ones. There are “infinite riches in a@ little room,’? and instead of wan- dering through an emptiness of uninteresting canvass, the spectator walks like Aladdin in the subterranean garden, where every pear was a pearl, every dewdrop a diamond, and every fruita gem. N, P, Willis mado the observation that a picture was like a window in the wall, through which the eye beheld new beauties, and there is not one of the ninoty paintings in Mr. Belmont’s collection which docs not give a revelation of tho sea, the sky, the landscape, or some one of the phases of humanity, The gallery does not contain a single picture which would not repay special study, and its constellated splendor constitutes an exceptiona) attraction to all lovers of art. For these reasons it is hard to discriminate in speak- ing of the pictures, But in the landscapes we should pecity as particularly flac the “Rendezvous de Chasse,’” by Rosa Bonheur, an early morning acono, desolate, misty, with horses, men, dogs, all eager for the event. It is cold and gray in tone, yot tull of subtle color, while the figure painting is immensely powerful, There are three landscapes by M. Troyon, of Paris, which will reward astudy—‘‘Cattle Grazing,” ‘Cattle Drinking” and ‘The Water Cart."’ A. Calame is repre- sented ably by a “Swiss Lake,” in which the dis- tant mountains seem to vanish in the misty horizon, a strong contrast with tho rocks in the foreground, both in form and color. Of Achenbach thero are two fine specimens, ‘The Coast of Sicily’ ond “Twilight,” in the first of which a stormy sea rolls npon a rocky coast, and in tho other the full moon rises out of pallid clouds, with a foreground all in shadow, and the moonbeams, the darkness, and a dim lighthouse, weaving that mysterious transparenco which is not night nor day. Another superb marine painting is called “The Shipwreck,” by De Haas, which is worthy to be compared with another work, “Tho Shipwrecked,” by Meyer, In tho one the storm is almost over, and the sbip is hurled against the cliffs; in the other the vessel 1s almost engulfed in tho ocean, while {rom thunderous s the lightning bolt de- scends upon it. We may turn from these subjects to scenes more charming. There is Mebert'’s ‘Savoy. ard,” the iirst picture which will be noticed on enter- ing tho room; ‘'Tho Chess Players,’ a masterpiece by Meissouler, in which broad effect ts united with almost microscopic detail; “Baron Munchausen,’’ an admirablo hymorous painting, in which the traveller re‘ates his wonderiul stories to a group of ladies and gentlomea in an antique supper room, some of whom believe, evidently, while others doubt; ‘The Miser,’’ ‘@ little study which tells its own story; ‘Going to the Dapce,” a iar, painting by Louis Knaus, which represents m gay procession of villagers eager for agd- almost § dancing as they go, flock of geese wack them on their festive way; “Marguerite Leaving Chureh,” by picture not only powerlul as a sceno from but remarkable for its details of architecture and costume. dies especially will be delighted with “The Twins,’ a beautiiul speci- men of Bouguereau, which presents two naked babies sleoping in each other's arms, charming in expression and delightful in color. Theae age only a tow of the works in the Belmont Gallery to which we call the attention of the artistic public. To namo all that deserve meution would be to recapitulate tho cate- logue.

He said that he lost $2,200 by the swindle. He was followed by Mr. Julius Schiatter, who said that he had been defrauded by the institution, and added, in emphatic terms, that the whole aflait was a robbery on the poor depositors of Hovoken.

This new feature of metropolitan amusements, fog which a building has beon erected at the corner of Broadway and Thirty-filth stroet, on the site of the ancient Colosseum, was exhibited for the frst time Jast night to a select party of invited guests, whe filled that part of the house where patrons of the es tablisnment will congregate after the public opening. The formal exercises were not numerous. They com sisted of addresses by tho Hon, R, B. Roosevelt and Professor W, 3. Ward, laudatory and explanatory of icthyology and its stady in this particular aquarium. Mr. Coup, the manager, called attention to the pisca- torial menu on the tables, which was international in character and variety, and which wos designed by piscicuitural artists, Harvey Dodworth had an orchestra in ono of the balconies, which discoursed the sweet strains of the “Little Goldfish Mazurkh the “Leap Year olka,” dedicated to flying fish; Anber's overture “I,” Ambassa- drice” (striped = bass); *Parigi O Cara,’? a 4 Verdi (porgies); march from ‘Stradella’”” (¢ dierocks), aud ‘other appropriate selections.
