10 AMUSEMENTS, GERMANIA THEATRE. Mr. Neuendorf’s fourth symphony concert took place last night at his handsome little theatre, The concert commenced with Weber's melodious and popu- lar overture to “Preciosa,” which was followed by in, teresting selections from ‘*Die Walkiire,”” by Wagner. The orchestra rendered the trying music of the Tri- logy with effect, the skill of the conductor contributing much toward the success of the performance. After Waguer was presented, a “symphonie concerto,” for psano and orchestra, by Dr. Gustave Saticr. The emi- bent composer appeared and gave a magaificent ren” dering of the work, which contains a wealth of bril- lant ideas, capital effects in instrumentation aud gitttering bravura passages tor the piano, without, however, any symphonie or con- certo form. The sages seem to be strung Logether without reference to harmony of coustruction. The orchestra next played the Polonaise from Meyerbeer's “Struensee” and the giorious Fourth Symphony of Beethoven. The last concerts of the piesent series will take place on January 7 and 1d. Mr. Neuendori! proposes to give the concerts of the sccond series on a very large scale. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. The attendance at the second Sunday concert given by Downing’s Ninth Regiment Band, at the Opera House last night, was rather slim, The programme was well selected and excellently carried out The overture, “li Conte Je Essex,” was finely rendered by the band: Then followed a cornet solo, ‘Brilhante,” by Mr. John Hammond. Mr. Fred W. Jameson sung a composition by J. R. Thomas, ‘Ah. ver Deem,’’ and Mme. Murie Sulvotti received wart applause tor the manner in which she gave *‘Miu Viccireila.”’ Mr. Frank Gilder performed the “Transcription” trom “Il Trov- store’ as apiano solo, and the ballad, “If You Love Me, Teli Me So,” was sung by Master Thomas £, Mont- gomery. The closing piece by the band was ‘God Save the Queen.” MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, The French people serenade the baritone Faure After each concert. Mme, Albani has married M. Zieger, captain of the Municipal Guard of Paria. “Sardanapalus” has been a great succes: Theatre Royal, Leeds, England. Mme. Viardot’s son, M. Pani Viardot, has madea successful début in Paris as a violinist. The daughter of Mme. de Grandval, the celebrated Fremch composer, has been united in marriage to the Baron Marochet Mme. Adelina Patti will singin Vienna during the @onths of March and April, and in London from May to the end of July, A prima donna in London said that Mr. Cowen’s ppera, “Pauline,” was like ts composer, “nice look- ing and pretty, bat small and thin.’* ‘The ‘Ring of the Nibelungen” will be repeated at Bayreuth in 1877, July 29, 30, 31, and August 1; August 5, 6, Tand 8, and August 12, 13, 14 and 15, The sunken orchestra, on the Wagnerian model, at the Grand-Ducal Theatre, Weimar, gives gene: satisfaction. The musicians are especially v 1p denouncing It, The Staten Island Philharmonic Society give the second concert of the season on January 5. The solo- ists will be Miss Thursby, Mme. Carreno Sauret and M. Sauret, and Schumann, Mozart, Liszt and Porch will supply the programma Mme. Pauline Lucca, by a breach of contract, ren- dered herself liable to a penalty of $25,000 to Mr. Gyo, of Covent Garden. The manager of the Royal Italian Opera is willing to forego the claim af the wilful little prima donna will return to hii A parody of ‘‘Dan’l Druce,” with the weak title of ‘Dao’l Tra-Duced,” bas been brought out at the Strand, London. The ‘imes says that it is tedious, that the subject is net suited to parody, and that tho suther “might occupy himself on something better than the attempt to turn good plays into ridicule.” This evening at Gilmore’s Garden a game of polo will be played between the Boston and California cluba, In addition to this display of one of the finest of athletic exercises Captain Mowry will display his daring and skill! in borsemanship with Carillo, the Mexican rider. There will be other performances, which will close with a trotting match. Mr. Maurice Strakosch has secured the valuable ser- vices of the distinguished builder, Mr. John H. Shor- wood, for his International Opera House, Work will be commenced in a very short time, and it wiil be a boon to hundreds of the unemployed of the metropolis. Mr. Strakesch positively assures us that the opera house will be opened on October 1, 1877; that it will have a conservatory of music attached to it, and that Mr. Max Maretzek will have charge of the musical depart- ment. Mr. Sherwood’s plan of a perfectly freproof opera house will be adopted. ‘The uniform price of admission toall the theatres which will give benefits on Thurday afternoon for the Brook- lyn sufferers will be $1, and tickets can be had of the police as well as at the box offices, Wallack’s, Booth’s, the Union Square, the Park, the Grand Opera House, the Olympic, Kelly & Leon’s minstrels and Gilmore's Garden and others announce benefits on Thursday, and ® masical performance will take place on Friday even- ing atthe Acadomy of Music, under the direction of Mr. Max Strakosch. One of the features at Gilmore's will be a game of polo played by gentiemen riders. The Munich Sextet Club, an oxcellent body of in. Mrumentalists from Bavaria, gave a concert in the wmalier hall of Messre. Stemmway last night, This sub came to America undor engagement to a Savannah (Ga.) manager, but on their arrival shey found that the engagement was a myth. Strangers in a foreign country and desirous of getting home to Germany as soon as possible, they arranged the concert of iast evening asa benefit. The programme comprised selections from the works of Haydn, Mendelssohn, Strauss, Wagner, Proch, di, Rossini, Suppe and Gr The performance quite attractive, and the club is evidently com- posea of thorough musicians, at the: OBITUARY.

SPORTING EVENTS ABROAD. ENGLISH WINNING JOCKEYS oF 1876. [From the Sportsman, Nov. 27.] Saturday’s sport at Warwick and Manchester brought the flat racing season of 1576 to a elose, and once more we place before our readers the usual statistics of jockey’s mounts. The present year will long ve re- membered for the wondertul score made by the elder Archer, His victories this year make bis total num- Der of mounts 663, and this is the third season be has been at the top of the list. He was only two wins be- hind Constable in 1873, since which time the latter jockey has occupied second place. Archer commenced this year by riding on the first day of the Lincoln meeting, and every week {rom that timo he has added to his total, until Saturday brought his mounts to the enormous number of 662, of which 206 were wins, His principal victories were the City and Suburban on Thunder, the Ebor Handi on Lilian and the Cesarewitch on Rosebery, while for Matthew Dawson’s stable he has secured upward of fiity races, He actually first past the judge 208 times, but he has suflered’ disqualitication twice—in the first instance at Warwick September Mee! ing, Where, with Esmeralda, he went the wrong side ota Post, ‘and more recently at Sbrowsbery, where he was uvable to draw the weight alter riding King Death, He was engaged in no fewer than eight deud heats, and, 4s an instauce of bis extraordinary prowess, we may mention thut he was within an ace of securing all the races at the Wolverhampton Spring Meeting, little ‘Thompson beating bin by a head for the principal han- dicap, while at Chester be took tive races in succes- wion, Hi eived quite an Ovation on Wodnesday lust ut Warwick, when be scored his 200th win on Le Promeocur, and curiously enough he won the two tol- lowing events on Lady of the Lea and Instantly. By very severe work he managed to scale 7 st. 5 lbs. tor Rosebery in the Cesarewitch, and us he is not likely to exceed that by many pounds we fully expect to sce him well in front uext season. Constable, although second, 1s a long way bebind, with seventy-three wins, two more than last year, his principal successes hav- ing been on Controversy, in the Linculn handicap und all bis matehes, while with Kosobery he pulled off the Cambridgeshire. At the Brighton autumn meeting Constable rode The Rabbi, who was backed for a lot of money, but was disqualiiied for carrying overweight without declaring it, and he hus increased so much 9f Jate thut he could not got below 8 st. 2 Ibs last week Brucksbaw has secured third piace with tilty-sgyen wins, aud Morgan, who won seven races lust wo8k, comes next with 55, a score that has been equi Weed- on, while Newhouso {s close up tothem.

It 1s a good plan to put oakum under the patent leather, oF c&ricd Lair, to give spring to the tool I have used cotton wool, but that holds water and packs hara. I preter oakum, as the tar init benelits the foot; you ean leave the shoe on till it needs Lr tng 9 Idon’t think we have improved much in shoeing horses tor snow work since the old times. My plan ior shoeing a horse that cuts his arma when driven to a sleigh is to put on side corks runing lengubwise of the shoe, having the inside corks nearer the too than the out- side omes, and welded on the shoe, Some preier the heel turned up, and the cork 1n the old fashion If going to work a horso on the where tho rises uneven and slippery, 1 would have on the cork, if only on one side, which would prevent slidin; sideways. A horse should always be bitched well away irom a sleigh, or far enough to prevent him from being in the least dauger of striking, as a great many of the accideuts which occur in sleighing times are from neglecting this precaution; the breeching should be a littic tighter than toa wagon. It is a good plan, also, to have the whiffletrees shorter ona sleigh pole, us they do pot take up so much room, and it 1s an ad- vantage when trotting on a crowded road—they should be two inches sborter—then you can get through a 1 like a longer neck yoko for a tcam bh, a8 itis an advantage when turn- jumper,’ or ice sleigh, is the casiest running one ever owned. A great many Tun on the ‘nose,’ and aro mot easy to draw, 1 sometimes think it impossible for a maker to build a sleigh on any plan, and know it wil! run eusily before trying it. There area great many light sleighs which run as hard as others twice ther weight.

There can be no doubt of the fact that among the celebrated trotters that have reflected credit upon the American turf the little Texas pony Crockett may be set down asacoming animal, His best efforts are ing round, My Loger, Middie Park and Dewhurst Plates. Tom Can- non is well to the fore with 52 “firsts,” many of his races buving been secured by his determined riding, and the same muy be said of H. Jelfery.

While we have a large surplus of small, worthless | orses, and although some of thom promive to be fast, tuere 19 no market for them, There are too many of the oue kind, and every farmer has one or more to sell, but ho cannot get enough for them to pay the cost of raising them. Then it don’t pay vo raiso the smail horses, but since the introduc tion of the Norman and Clydesdale horses they bavo added a great improvement by crossing with our Western horses. The success of these horses has spread all over the West, and almost every enterpri ing farmer is breeding them, becauye they will pay # rofit for their raising and always find ly market, The your large numbers of these horses have been im- ported, and they are now well introduced throughout all the Western States. A correspondent of the Spirit of the Times say: “There is owned in this county (Richland, lilies), gray gelding. seven years old, that stands seventocn bands three inches in height, without bis shoes, This horse has always been a natural pacer, At five years ‘old he made a record of three heats, pacing, in barnes: on a half-mile truck, at his case, in 2 2:244. Since that time he ‘apd Was handled this season ing heats up in 2:20, in harness. Avout tweuty-tive days belore he was turned out, this tall, he took a notion to trot of bis own accord, and has not paced since he struck the trot, His owners, Messrs, H. U. & BE.

Thore is a history connected with him which, consid, ered with the hopes his adtairers have of his future, it 18 believed will be read with pleasure by those who havo scen him move, and, better still, hold his own alongside of some of the fastest trotters 10 the West, ‘Some two years ago Crockett was brought to Galves- ton by Messrs. Burnett & Kilpatrick, who kaew noth- ing of his qualities, and who were in ignorauce of the fact that he was destined at this time to stand as the champion of the Texas turf. Mr. Drennan traded tor him, giving for bim @ saadie horse for which he paid $40. Prior to this chango in bis owners Crockett had Deen ‘used as udray horse, and was worked every day toa cart hauling sand tor this city. He had no gaits except apace, which was his natural gait, aud to forget which and adopt the new step, which promises to lead him to national distinction, he was subjected to an ordeal that tried no less the patience of his trainer than the metile of bis own bottom. Mr. Drennan placed him in the hands of Mr. Robert Fleming, an experienced horseman, with instructions to “fix him up’ and sell him. During tue process Mr, Fieming discovered that he was no ordinary auiimal, and bad bim sold in January last for $ Regretung bis bargaim ulmost tui succeeded in cancelling the sal tho work of developing his qualities. To bi of pacing Mr. Ficming curried him every day to the beach and drove him in water two feet deep until he had acquired the trotting gait, From this difficult beginning he continued his efforts until he had him jairly acquainted with his duties on the course. He ‘was first exhibited before the public at the Dailas fair, where he showed up to such an advabtage as to attract an offer of $12,000 from a gentleman who ranks among tho first turfmen in the West. He was noxt exbibited at the Austin tair, where he won ali the purses ior which be was envered, making tor himself a record of 2.31. His next performance was on the Oleander Park course, Saturday, December 2, when he guve his heels to Lady Star aud Pilot Temple, and in three straight heats announced himseit the victor over these well known trotters. Crockett has the build of a thoroughvted, is clean limbed, fine coated, and bears the ear marks of good blood. § Of his pedigree nothing certain 1s known, although indirectly he has been traced back to a race mare which was brought to this State during the war from Charleston, South Carolina, “He ts fifteen bands one inch bigh, weighs 900 pounds, is a light Chestnut sorrel, seve years old, and it is thought may yes place bis record inside of 220, aBEIVAL OF BUDD DOBLE AND GOLDSMITH MAID. (From tho 8an Francisco Chronicle, Dec. 4) Buad Doble was on the track on Saturday. Ho has just returned from the East, and was warmly greeted by his many friends. There is no one more thoroughly ‘dentified with trotting in all its most brilliant phases than Dudd Doble, and in the quiet, genial gentlemen of about thirty-five years of age, dressed with exquisite taste and neatness, one would scarcely expect to recog- nize one of the best whips our country can boast of, He expressed himself as glad to be once more at hum \d expected to pass a quiet winter here. He arr: sutely in hig own car, specially Otted tor th. in 81x days from Chicago, allowing one day's rest tor his valuable stock, among which are Goldsmith Maid, Sam Purdy and Abe Edington. In the middle of thi weck he expects another car loaa, comprising Bodine, Rarus, Ulementine, a pair of handsome carriuge horses aud twoor three roadsters. With these arrivals, and that which she can already voast of, San Francisco wilt possess betéer trotting stock than all the other States put together. Mr. Doble said that there was no difficulty in the transportation of horses over such long distances, save that of the ex- pense. By the freight trains it woud take at least twenty days to traverse tbe continent, and the cost would be about $800 for a car that would contain from five to six horses. Theanimals wore, of course, some- what stiff on their arrival, as they have tu stand the whole way. WINTERING TROTTERS IN CALIVORSIA, In answer to an inquiry whether, taking all thingy into consideration, he considered the wintering of trotters and runners in Culiformia judicious, notwith- atanding the tedious journey to and tro, be expressed ely io the affirmative, ‘I am come , “to lay off.

Lorillard, might be induced to song draits of their horses to winter here AQUATICS. The straight away scuilers’ race, in best and best boats, between Walter Hill, of York, and Henry Thomas Clasper, of Oxtord, took place December 1 on the river Ouse, at York, the di: 0 being one mile (down), starting from a point near King’s Staith. The stake was £49 a side, the peculiarity of the sum pre- venting the men from being barred trom competing in the race at the Thames Natioval Regatta for those who have never sculled for £100, The race was rowed under the revised ruies of poat racing. It tsa long timo since there was so much excitement over a acullers’ race im York, and possibly there never were people congregated on the banks of the Ouse ‘Starths, which at ina nts was simply im- outside Hill's House, the Crown and Anchor, opposite which was the ing pomt, rowing dowo stroam, and here ther fair amount of speculation, though the extray ant odds that were forthcoming lasper caused firs trends to figut shy, and the Clasper party to geton had tolay Zand even 3 to 1. Although there was a lot of raiti in the morning it cleared up at noun, and the alicrnvon proved most favorable, the river be- ing smooth, with @ good current, though even at its vest the ( flows but sluggishly. Punectoal at the appointed time (tiree o'clock) the men paddled to their ions, Clasper, Who over night had won the toss, ing the Nunthorpe side, at ‘the first attempt they got uway, Young Clasper showed the most pace starting, and soon drew the nose of lis bout in fron leading ere u quarter of a mile had been traverse quite by three-quarters of a lengtu, and a hte further on he took Hill's water, giving bim the benefit of bis wash for about $00 yards. Aithougli Hill made one or two desperate spurts to draw ois boutup be was unable to gaiu ground, and a quarter of a mile trom home Clasper led by a length aod three-quarters, and ulti- mately passed the postthe winner by about six lengths, Hill stopping ten lengths trom home. The proprietors of the Newcastle Chronicle have fered a chalienge cup, value £100, with £100 aud 1 compe! ry first competition i@ to t the rountb of Mareb next, and subseq re to be decided on the “home” river of the then Loluer of the cup FOOTBALL. ‘THE PRESENT SEASON AND 178 PROSPECTS— OUR COLLEGE TEAMS—GRATIFYING PROGRESS OF THE GAME IN THIS COUNTRY. Weeks ago frosts and storms swept away the last vestiges of base ball and other summer games, leaving one wlone to combat the sharper and cooler weather of the fast departing autumn and early winter. That game is football, and though the season hercabouts is short, owing to the usual severity of December, tners has been encouraging progress in tho sport in this country. The last three years afford convincing proof that so far az outdoor games are coucerned there are many aslvantages possessed by football over the majority of our summer pastimes. lt yields in popular favor to no other open air amusement, save only when the ice king binds the lakes and rivers 10 chains of tron and gives skaters days or woeks of ex- hilarating enjoyment in the prosecation of the health- fess and most gracetul of exercises. Footbal begets a fulness and freedom of limb, a strength of lung, a quickness of eye and a presence of mind which are not only very serviceable to the individual possessing them, but are likewise valuable to the people that can point to them as quaiiti characteristic of their race. A good football player uses his head as well as his feet, He exercises great judgment, and in addition to the physical exertion which he has to undergo needs no inconsiderable amount of nerve and temper. Practice brings about these admirable qualities, even as it docs a spirit of discipline and feeling of interdependence which every football team must cultivate to be ordinarily success- ful Football is better than medicine tor the dyspep- tic and the sulferer from too close application to bu: ness, and while we note a gratifying growth of the pastime it is to be regretted that our young men generally do not take to it, even as they do to base ball. AMERICAN POUTBALL TEAMS, The first russet leaves of autumn mark the com mencement of the football season in England, and most of the large public schools and the London and provincial clubs open the campaign in the middie of October. Then there are nearly six months which they can devote to the cricket of the winter months, and the thousands of the votaries of the game have no lack of occupation until the warm sunshine of April brings bat and ball from the obscurity of the closet and causes the tall goal posts to give place tosymmetrical wickets, To that extent which our colder weather will per- mit the well-wishers of this pastime in the Mid- die and Eastern States hope the example of our English cousins will be imitated by the schoolboys and college lads and young men generally of those sections. Already the teams of Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton colleges, together with that of the Stevens Institute, are in harness, while notes of morry preparation come piping along trom the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, College of the City of New York, and Cornell and Tufts colleges. Of tnese the Harvard boys hold a good iead. Their playing is far above the American standard, thanks to the Rugby rules which they have adopted and the precepts incul- cated by some old masters of the game, Their recent visit to Montreal and defeat of the United Canadian team, and their victory over the crack players of Mc- Gill University, are events which the college is proud of, and which, for such an early period, show the team to be in good form. The once strong organization at Yale bids fair to loso its prestige this season, owing to the restraints im- posed by the faculty of thecollege. They bave decreed that the club must not accept challenges to play out of New Haven, and as but few of the leading teams will care to fight out games in the City of Elms, and not havo a chance of moeting their opponents on bome grounds, chances,of important struggles with the Yale boys are not promising. This order seems particularly annoying to the club when they reflect that during the past summer the base ball nine ,of the college were permitted to absent them- solves from Now Haven overy Saturday they had games to play elsewhere. A hope ts expressed by the foot- ball club that the order may be modified, asit will in- fuse spirit and earnestness into a promising team. All lovers of the game heartily concur in the wish, as it were more than a pity did the season pass without the usual home and home matches between Harvard and Yalc, Princeton has recently fallen into line so far as the Rugby Union rules are concerned, and its team gives evidence of becoming no mean opponents. Plenty of energy has already been shown by them, and they will try hard to make it warm for thoge that come against them, besides being Unely apportioned, they have among their number those who can show their heels to most players. The Princeton team contemplates visit- ing Columbia, Yale and Harvard, and the prediction is ventured it they carry out the proposed programme tho} will pot return empty handed. Tufis College annually turns out a strong and magnificent team. Many of the students being older than collegians generally, ag they aro pur- |g advanced studies, they possess the strength and solidity trom which good players ute made, In past seasons Harvard had more to tear ‘vw the team that hailed from Tats thuv from all theer other op- ponents, and when soey met prolonged rours uf cheer- ing attested the briliianoy of their eflorte, The ba:ance of the college organizations arc in aimost daily prac- tice, and severa: minor matches have been decided. RUGS VB. COLLEGE RULES. While Harvard, Yale aud Princetun piay the Rugby Union, or amended Rugby ruies, the majority of the teams are governed in tboir contests by the “College Association rulee.”” Tbe reguintions thas proscribed ‘© peculiar, avd there isn’t one player ia ten that hag a correct conception of what they are, There is th opinion seemingly among the teams that recognize the association rules that auybody can do anysuing they mod with the ball except run with it, Batting or nocking with the hand 1s allowed, and a player is never “off side’? Tho last provision is essentially wrong. All English rules provide that play cannot be made when a player ts ‘ol! side,” or not behind the ball when kicked by bim, and this point is more tena- ciously adhered to than any other. It is a wise and fair provision, and should bo universally adopted Many otber fat Xist in the “association rules,” aod to make the more popular all the teams should the regulations which govern tho playing ot Harvard, Yale and Princeton, rules in almost ualversal recognition in England. DKPKCTS IX PLAYING, + ‘With the general adoption of the Rugby rules the gamo would become more popular than ever in Amei ica, More matebes would be brought about, and science would take some part in their decision. Ali the teams being governed by rules alike there would bo mure. brilliant players and practice to attain proticiency would be more geverally resorted to. The absence of first class drop-kicks or sure Place-Kicks im many veams ts al the want of practice. Even two hours a week setapart for “puat about’ would have a won- dertul eflect in making good kicks, and in also teach- ing men to pick up the bali quickly when it comes to them. The next, avd perhaps one of the greatest, ao- fects in much vi the play of lust seasou was the want of tollowing up, apd irom this root springs a.lthe other deficiencies—not passing on, not playing together and pot baving the ball down whew it is bes It the ‘tor. wards’ would follow up properly there would be no necessity for any one who has made his run to hang on to the ball when it 1s collared (ueld), waiting for his own men to come up tu him. 11 the following up was as it cught tu be men Would pass on the ball trom one to another, and £0 work it down to their adversurics’ goal line, in fact, tuillo jog up ie the most important ‘duty a lorward, and if members of clubs wvald pract i. more there would not be haif so much done at the end of a match as at presont—atter au hour ur 80 of with “very man for Lunself and the bali for all’ It 18 important that ali teams shoula look to their forward play.

Another great trouble with our football teams been that they were fine weather players, and it stormed they have improperly elected to stay away altogether. In many casws, tov, they tailed to give notice of their intentions ; and this being the case, their conduct lacked that courtesy due frum one elub to another and to the spectators, Seldom 1s such un- businoss-like and unmanoerly behavior noticed in England, for there they never put off a game for bad if it ts of the most disagreeable charac. mo in this respect would wonderfully aid 1m this country.
