PIOUS PILGRIMS AND THE POPE. More than Three Thousand Already in Rome. CLUB, LITERARY AND OPERATIC TALK, pasa pict of Bruss Sighted. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD} LONDON, May 19, 1877. ‘The sixth of the Wagner concerts was given this afternoon. Two others were given this week on Monday and Wednesday evenings. On Monday, @elections from Lohengrin and Siegfried were ren- dered. On Wednesday were given parts of Die Meis” tersinger, Gotterddmmerung and the closing scene of Act III of Siegfried. This alternoon a large part of the second act and the music of the closing scenes: of Tristan und Isolde, and the third act of the Got- terddmmerung were played and sung. ‘The audien- ves have been very large during the past week. The | coldness manifested during the previous wee! tertainments has been brokeu. The hostiltty of the London press has proved utterly futile, and the public has shown its contempt for their critics. The Daily News was the only journal that noticed eacbconcert. The Zimes printed a single notice. The Daily Telegraph and Standard were ridicu- lously hostile, their critics having committed themselves last. summer at Baireuth, und you must know the London eritics can neither learn anything nor be convinced that they have made a mistake. The Prince of Wales has been present at sevCral concerts, aud the royal family has been Strongly represented. The original programme was widely departed from, not in the operas se- lected fur each day, but in the portions of each work given. Herr Wagner conceded to the mani- fest wish of the public in so tar as to give the gems of the operas instead of long selections. Since Monday tie concerts have been simply ovations to Wagner and to the singers. Herren Unger and Wil were hoarse, the Rhine Daugh- ters nad bad. colds, but Mme. Materna, the Baireuth brunnhiida, was, however, true to tie last and won splendid triumphs, es- pecially as Brunniilta. On Thursday Herr Wag- her was presented to the Qneen at Windsor. Tuesday nextis his sixty-loarth birth: and fp commenioration of the event a grand banquet will be given by the LiederkranzSociety. Huns Richter Was this afternoon presented with a silver-mounte: baton, and Herr Wagner with a jauret wreath and an address by the orchestra. Financially, the con- certs have not been w great success, but two additional ones, at popular prices, uounced for Monday and Tuesday afternoons. These may enaole the management to realize some- thing. ure an- POLO PLAYING, Two very interesting games of polo were played at Hurlingham Grounds on May 12 and 19, be- tween the International Polo and Gun Club and the Hurlingham Club. There was much fine horseman. ship seen, although both days were rainy and the ground was slippery, but in good condition. In the first match the following gentiemen contended:— HURLINGHAM TRAM. INTERNATIONAL TEAM. Sir Bache Cunard, Cap- Arthur R. Peat, Captain. tain, Kenyon Stone.” Sir Charles Wolesely. 1. Howard. A. de Murictta. L. hi. Peat. Edward Baldrock, A. Peat. Lord Kilmarnock. The result of this match that the Hurhing- ham Club won two goals to the International's one. To-day’s natch was played by teams of tour piayers from each club, selected as follows:— HURLINGHAM TEAM, INTERNATIONAL TEAM, Captain Herbert. Arthur ft. Peat, Sir Charles Wolesely. Kenyon Stone. Captain Yeldam, L, B. Peat. E. Napier Niles. A. Peat. ‘The game was well contested. The Hurlingham Club was, however, only represented by two of its best men. Game was called at half past four end lasted for one hour and twenty minutes After thirty-five minutes’ of hard playing the first goal was made by L. FE. Peat. The second goal was made by Arthur R. Peat, by a magnificent play, in which he carried the ball the entire length of the fleid, never missing his stroke, although his pony was on the @ead run, and the rain was failing in torrents, A pause of fifteen minutes was made untii the rain ceased falling. After resuming the piay Captain Herbert scored a goal for the Hurlingham team. The result is, therefore, two goals for the Inter. nationals and ove for Hurlingham. Tho deciding match will be played on Saturday next. 1 the two clubs play for a champion cup.

Filing down the drive by the Serpentine tne coaches went from Hyde Park Corner to Prince’s Gate and thence out to the Orleans Club at Twickenham, where lunch Was served. The coaches returned in the evening. GENEKAL GRANT ABKOAD, Unusual social interest 1s felt in England regard- ing the arrival of General Grant. The question whether he shall be received as an ex-sovereign or as aprivate citizen is attracting great attention amoug the authorities, The only precedents are the cases of Van Buren and Fillmore, When Van Buren was here Lord Palmerston cited that as he was only regarded @ private citizen in America, the government should pay afl respect to his personal character out that it could not treat him otherwise than as @ distinguished citizen of the Republic, It 1s under stood that the government at Washington will numate to the English Ministry that ex-President Grant will be expected to receive the honors paid to Lonis Napoleon and Louis Philippe. This, how- ever, simply concerns oMcial etiquette, In private circles General Grant will receive unbounded hos- pitality. THE PILGRIMS TO ROME. The HERALD’s Rome correspondent telegrapls that the German pugrims and many residents of the Eternal City to the number of nearly one thou- sand had an audience with the Pope on Thurs- His Holiness answered their address by comparing the persecution of the Roman Church in Germany by the Emperor Wiiliem to that by Atilia On yesterduy His Holiness was much fatigued and only received two local ecclesiastical deputations. The New York deputation arrived at Rome yesterday. The Revs. Fathers McGlyne, Kearney and Edwards, Bishop Burgess, of Detroit; Odenbush, of Minnesota; Kraat- bauer, of Green Bay, Wis. and about twenty ecclesiastics were among the party, ‘The Cana- dians are expected early in the week. The audience for the American deputation is appointed for Thursday, and the number of pilgrims will probably number three hundred. The Church in America has presented $100,000 to the Vatican. The exhibition of valuable gifts to the Pope opens to-morrow. The total number of pil- grims hitherto arrived aggregates 3,458, WAS GARRICK AN OLD BEAU? In consequence of the exciusion of actors from the Garrick a new club has been established, called “The Green Room.” There is something so de- cidedly ludicrous in the idea of a club bearing the name of Garrick refusing to elect honored members of the dramatic profession that the natural feeling of all disinterested persons is that the actors should have turned the tables on the respectable old swells long ago. The truth is that the Garrick Ciub has reached the sere and yell fossils of a past age. over a whist table at a sovereign a game, or in dis- cussing the latest West End scandal. ‘They affect bad port wine and Longacre cigars, and then won- der how they get the gout, The actors found many of them beyond the hope of other clubs and took them into their foid with the result avove stated, The history of the capture of the Garrick Club by the rmen-who now manage it would make It isaclear case of cold- shouldering and sharp elbowing.

Mr, Sprague moved to add a section appropri- ating $100,000 toward building the Buffalo State Asylum for Insane. Mr. Loomis suggested that this motion be withdrawn and incorporated ina separate biil. He thought it very desirable that an appropriution for the new Capitol be made, and the other appropriation may be for an equally meritorious object, but it might imperil the Capito! appropriation, Mr. Sprague said it was understood that the Executive would favor an amount for the Buffalo Asyium smaller than the one contained in the Supply bil, and he thought that in- sftead of this being a bindrance it would beip the Capitol appropriation, Mr. Carpenter moved an amendment appropriating $50,000 for the centre building of the Hudson River Hospital tor the Insane.
