PP SES OES Sey Emon or rae Heratp:— arth of comets, of which astronomers havo been complaining for the last two years, is at an end, During the years 1875 and 1876 not one new comet was discovered, Within the present year three bave already deen discovered, all of which are now visible in the’same quarter of the heavens, The computed elements of comet 1, discovered by Borelii on February 8, very closely agreed with my estimate published in the Henatp, This comet is now more than twice as lar from usas the sun, and js barely visible in the telescope a few degrees from the brilliant star Capella, In the constollation Auriga, and it will soon disappear, Although nearly a thousand times as large ag this earth, and’although it passed near us within a few days from its first discovery, within perhaps twenty million Milos, it could even then scarcely bo seen without the telescope, and could not bo distinguished without a previous knowledgo of its position. This comet is represented !n the Orst Oyuro in the following diagram, ‘a-mero round brightish spot, so dim as to be dis- Hnguished with diticulty evon in a large telescope: “COMER 3 COMET 1 COMED 2, {The above diagram represents the appearance of the three comets now visible, as seen tn the telescope. } The other two comets | have not yet had ao oppor- tunity to see; and the only definite observations L havo ‘scen havo reached mo within a very few ays, Comet 2 ‘was discovered by Winuecke on Apri! 6, An observa- tion kindly furnished me by Professor Maria Mitebell, of Vassar College, and later observations, agree so well with the orbit published in tbe last number of Nature, that it is safe to make an approximate prediction of the position and future course of this comet. Thus far \t nas only been visible in the morning; but it will begin to be visible in tho evening, below the pole, on ‘Sunday evening, before the moon rises, and on success- ive evenings it will riso higher above the horizon and yecome somewhat brighter. Its position ts shown in the following map, noarand a little totho right ot and below tho five bright stars in Cassiopeia, which form a W. The position in the map is near the righthand lower corner. In tho heavens, it will bo hardly distinguishable from o small star, without optical ald, but to good eyes it will be seen asa short, vertioul stroak of light, instead of asa round point, During the week it will gradually riso to the position shown near the righthand upper torner of the diagram, wnich tt will occupy on Sunday, May 6. Continuing inthe same course, in about tea , days more it will have approached within about tap dogrees of the North Pole, its nearest point; and It will then gradually move southward, approaching the ponstollation Ursa Major and passing near the Pointers, by which time it will propabiy cease to be visible to the naked eye. The discrepancios botween the observa. Uons sent me, while they do not materially affect the orbit tor a week to come, make it impossible now to predict with accuracy its course until its disappearance. (fhe ubove map represents the principal stars in the constellation of Cassiopeia, forming a W, and neigh- bering stars, ns visible at about eight o'clock P.

As seen in the telescope of Vaseat College it is described ag “having a distinct and bright nucleus, with a bazo I around, which spreads out into a fan-shape on one side.” Ihave seen no measures of the actual size of this comet, but when we consider that it isa iittle further from us than the sun, with tnis brightness, whereas most of the largo histuric comets have passed quite near us, we may infer it is reaily a comet of vast magnitude und unusoally dense; such & comet as, passing neur the sun and also noar tho curth, would become ono of tho most eplendid comets on record. It 18 now receding slowly from the sui aving scarcoly passed within the earth’s orbit; and although still approaching the earth, and, therefore, likely to become somewhit lighter with= in the coming’ fortnight, it will not come noarer than $6,000,000 miles from us, and will slowly fade away in | the distance. It is possible that there may be, as Professor Peters suggests, a considerable development of the tail; but it is usually comets that pass much nearer to the gun which have such a development aficr passing their perihelion points, so that, nowithstand- ing the magnitude of the comet, [ do not anticipate any such result, Midway betwoen these two comets, in the heavens, | i comet 3, discovered by Proiessor Swift on April 11, represented in the third figure of the diagram | above. Ifyou do not seo it in the figure it will be good evidence tuat the engraver has followed my directions | to make it so faint that not more than one person out | of ten can see it, Ovherwise it would not be a fur rep- | sentation of the comet itself, searches for it, at the time of {ts discovery, at the National Observatory fe) rate, and if the clouds aloue bad prevented a search European discovery, 1 made some attempts to form ab opinion as to the orbit of comes 3, but the inconsistency of the ob- servations whieh have reached me, difiering in several more than a dex bas made it im ible fo come to any sstistuctory conclusion. lts ap- proximate position on the evening. of the 29th tay be found from the above map in this way :—Draw @ line parallel to the extreme stars of the W, from the position of comet 2, at the bottom of the map, toa potwt as far beyond the upper star of the W as that position 1s below the lower star. 1 think it probable that the comet 1s further from the earth than the sun, but that it is somewhat nearer to the sun than wo ar and that it ts approaching both the sun and the earth, If this is Correct 1 must be very much smaller than y event it will be several betore much brighter, and the observatio! which will be made during this coming week will wu doubtedly determine the orbit.

THE COMING EXHIBITION OF DOGS AT GII- MORE’S GARDEN--ITS SUCCESS ASSURED— ARRANGEMENTS FOR JUDGING THE ANIMALS, The entrios of American exhibitors at the great New York Bench Show of Dogs, to be held at Gilmore’s Garden on May 8, 9 and 10, are now all In, and the managers only await the arrival of those from abroad to close their books and place the catalogues In the bunds of the printers, [n round numbers the domes- tic entries will foot up 1,000, of which at least ono. third are dogs owned In New York aud adjacent cities, Tho entry hist comprises dogs of every vartety and shade, unless it Is sho luckless Spitz, and there is some reason to believe that a suspected individual has smuggled one of this breed into the miscellaneous. class under the name of Esquimaux, Among tne curiosities entered may ve mentioned a wwo-legged dog, a veritablo biped, and withal ' possossing alsnost buman intelligence, His owner vaiues bim ata very long figure. Then there will be General Cuater’s celebrated pack of bounds, including those presented to him by the Grand Duke Alexis on the occasion of his first visit to this country, when he spent some timo with the unfortunate soldier hunting elk and antelope on the Plains, JUDGING THE poGs. Any one familiar with the interior of Gilmore's Gar- den can imagine bow admirably the place is adapted lor a show of this description, The boxes or stalls for she display of the dogs will be arranged in a double row botween the large pillars which support the roof, one row looking outward and facing the track and the other facing inward toward the oval, The immense amphi- theatre will ve left clear lor promenading, ox cept where it Is bruken by tho three judg. tpg rings, into which tho dogs will be led for inspection, The arrangements in this respect will be very complete, and calcuiated to give satistaction to the exhibitors, Indeed, every precaution has been and will be taken to prevent even the remotost sus. picion of unfairness. If Mr. Lord comes over he will Provably require all the dogs 1n one cluss to be brought before him at the same time. Rings will be provided jn the judging circie to which the dogs will be chained, All collars bearing owners’ names will be removed and the club coliar substituted, or, when a collar is locked, wide leathers are provided with which to cover them, the object being to prevent the judge from having even an Inkling ag to whom the dog belongs, not that there is any idea that a judge would act untairly or allow himself to be biassev, but this course puts all on an equal footing. A BIT OF nIBKON. ‘An experiencod judge will, with his eye alone, almosh immediately eliminate the dogs that are without a pos- sible chance. Such bemg removed from tho ring those remaining are examined more critically and again culled, antl but fow are lett, when, after due de- liberation, the anxiously awaited award is made, im. mediately upon the decision being announced ribbons are affixed to the stalls of the winning dogs, blue being the color which signifies the first prize, red the second prize, and white, duly stamped, the lower grades of ‘very highly commended,” “highly commended”? and simply ‘commended,’ THE CUPS.

Now Swilt made u disco ery; did be announce it? In patent law the speciiica tion must be such ag will enadle a person skilled In the | art to use tho invention, and {f it is not suilicient tor that purpose itis a fap defect. Swift undertook to announce or y his dixcovery, but tho observers, illest in tho art, at the National Observatory could bot flud the comet, and there is Ho evidence whit + any announcement wus made which enabled any | person skilled in the art to find tho comet, | until ter Borelli's discovery. If this view is Lo be taken and insisted upon it is to be hoped that somo pablic spirited individuals will see to it thatour | ational repattation shail wor gain sult who gives time’ and skili and (ong experience has not felt this duty to contribute aise the necessary means to enable him to Mx the (rue positions of the oojects | that bo observes, in the aiscovery of now planets our | country has not been behind; but in the discovery of | comets the cable always brings the ows westward. 1 will remark, in ps if, that Europe ought to di more comets than we do, for tho reason that they have x hours startin the raca Many of the new comets pear so suddenly that, betoy invisibie one day, they © vasily found the next; and such comets we have ginall chanco of first discovering. Aga mattor of justice, however, it is to be hoped | thata more liberal view will be taken, For when ihe discoverer of a comet, without delay, makes the best announcement he can, he ought nov to be held respon- vible for the failures of others, There were turee reuyons why the comet was not found, bosides tho trror of position. ‘Ihe difference ot latitude broughe it neurer to the horizon, where It was ob: haze; the time required to ascertain the pr send it to Washingion, and the difference of io: combined to bring the comet still nearer the horizon Aud the tatervention of clouds prevented tho renewal of tho search unti after Boreili’s discoy indeed, tho strict application ot the rule, in the form in which T first stated [t, would have been Yqually fatal to our claim of priority, if the observation bad been acyu- A SWINDLER DETECTED.

DEPARTURE OF THE NEW YORK DELEGATION TO ROME—ADDRESS FROM THE CLERGY TO THE POPE. The Inman steamship City of Berlin sailed yesterday afternoon for Liverpool, taking ov board, among her other passengers, a number of pilgrims on their way to Rome. Owing to the inclemency of the weather it wus expected that the crowd of friends and relatives of the pilgrims accompanying them tu the steamer to bid them adieu would not be very large, but quite a. largo throng assembled on pier No, 45, North River, loug before the hour of sailing, and the drizzling rain scemed to have uo effect in cooling their ardor. Men, women and children were there in great numbers, all anxious to have a last look at tho depart- ing pilgrims and to wish thom a hearty God speed on their way to the Eternal City. The élite of the Catholic population of the city was well repre- sented, but the crowd was not confined to any particu- lar class of the community, Working men, merchants, priests, fashionable ladies and humble women wero all mingled in one enthusiastic throng and seemed to vie with each otber in the heartiness of their expres- sions of good will and of regret at their own III luck in not being ablo to accompany them to their journey. In any case the wish to be able to accomplish the pil- grimage was unmistakable, but the crowd, as a mat- ter of course, was made up exclusively of devout cburch-goers. Tho City of Berlin swung out of the dock about hall-past three o’clock,,and tho scene of leave taking on board was very animated. The pilgrims looked well and im good Spirits, and were accompanied some distance down the bay by a fow of their frionds, lt was intended that quite a large party should accompany the steamer, but the heavy rain rendered the trip too uncomfortable, and none but near friends.of tho pilgrims went further than the pier. Two addresses in Latin, ono from the clergy of the diocese of New York, the other from the laity, have been prepared for presentation to tho Holy Father by tho pilgrims, The address from the clergy is signed by Cardinal McCloskey and nearly all the Catholic clergy of the diocese, and is borne by Father Kearney, of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, The following isu transla- ton :— THE CLERGY OF NEW YORK TO THE PorE.

THE CHILDREN’S CAUNIVAL. The Academy of Music yesterday alternoon was re- dolent with the fragrance of flowers and ablaze with the boauty of bright lights and gorgeous colors. Tho | cold and dreary rain which poured down ail day was unknown and unfeit in the interior of the familar building, for the children’s carnival was for the third time showu to a Jarge @nd admiring audieace. The children, who, dressed im their magnificent costumes, went through their dances and evolutions with so much evident pleasure to themselves and so much gratification to the spectators, wore the pupils of the private dancing classes of Professor Carl Marwig, their dancing oftentimes was worthy of professional stage dancers, The programme on this occasion was divided into two paris, the first part beginning with a grand opens ing tableau by **Mozart” and his orchestr», and ‘adies and cavaliers of tho Court of Lous X1V, This was fole lowed by tho pertormance by the juvenile orchestra vn the stage of Louis XII1s air, *‘Amarylis,” utter which a Rustian mazurka danee and a comic rococo dance followed. ‘Then came Master Reitzel tn the character of Mozart, who played a grand piano piece posed by Liszt. This young man is for hu remarkable pianist, and, even more than this, he is considerably weil educated as a musician, A minuct and gavotte Jollowed, andthe part ended with a grand tableau presenting Princo Carnival, a charming little boy, who had some difleully in keeping his eaj on his head, and the different nations of the worl During the intermission, the orcbestra, led by Lander, pertormed a selection trom Lecooq’s “Giroflé-Girofla, ‘Tho second part opencd with a wondfous grand march and. procession, in which were included Mozart and bis Juvenile band, court ladies aud gentlemen, Wagner's Juveniic brass band, heralds, Pein Carnival ani representatives of dillerent nations, Russian Cossacks mounted on marvellous horses; Esmeralda on hee golden coach, drawn by tour goats, followed by her court; the Goddess of Liberty in a golden ship, escorted by young Atuerican. sailors; Chinese, Tyra: Jeane, und to Flower Queey on her sholl of pearl, with her suite, After the procession, the first movement of Mozart’ssymhony in C, No. 4 waa played by the juven- ile orchestra, Then followed a Tyrolean dance, very pester and a Chinese umbrella dance, very groteaque. Next came a sailor dance, which brought out a number Of bouquets irom the audience; then a tarentetla by Esmeralda and her court, and more bouquets; then 3 Russian Cossack dance, with still more and handsomer vonqueis. This last pleased so that it had to be re. pouted, The *Fiower Waltz,” by the May Queen and suite, and Maypole festival, concluding with a grand tableau, was very boautiful and drew forth much ap- plause.’ A grand march, similar tv that which opened this part, then took place, and the curtain fell on an “Imposing and effective tableau, The ladies and gentiomen who wont to the expense and trouble of gotting up this carnival should teel amply repaid with the succesa of their efforts, and although the rain interfered somewhat with the size of the audience yesterday the Academy contained a large and brilliaut assea,blage. CREEDMOOR. On account of the unfavorable state of tho weather yesterday the, Marksman’s Badge match, which bad beon announced to come off, was postponed. Some thirty or forty riflemea who expected to participate in the contest made their way out to tho ranges and were much disappointed when it was anvounced that the eecretary of the National Rifle Association had put the maton off A number of tent flies were on tho ground and could have been used to keop off the rain while the men were firing; also soveral large-sized hospital tents on the grounds could have been employed to tur- nish snolter while the match continued, The matter of competitors snovting under assumed natnes has been discussed at longth among Creedmoor riflemen, While some favor this innovation a largo ma- Jority have set their faces agunst it. It appears tha the proper oflicer of the National Riflo Association has taken the necessary steps to identity in nis records the bames of such gentiemen as may shoot under a nom de guerre, so that they shall be properly given in the asso- eciation’s abnual report, Such a coarse would put the daily and weekly press 11 the position of publishing from week to week sets of scores that would not tally with the official reporte.
