12 YESTERDAY'S OX CHASE & Quick, Short Run Over an Easy Country. THE FIELD KEEP UP WELL. Damp, Chilly Weather No Detri- ment to the Sport. Yesterday’s run of tho Queens county hounds might be described as short, sharp and decisive. It com- menced in Sprague’s Wood at Plain Edge soon alter one o’clock in the afternoon, and, continuing with scarcely a check fora little ess than forty minutes, ended witn the death of the fox in a qabbage flolda mile oF so to the southward of Hicksville, The feild ef horsemen was not very large, the day being such as amateur fox hunters would probably call extremely @isagreeable. I: was excelent hunting weather, never- theless, The pace was quite brisk, too, but asthe fences were rather scarce after the first mile or two until just before the finigh the greater part of the fleld was well up at the death, The hounds started with a drag which led up to the point where & bag tox was shaken, The dogs ran rapidiy and packed well ag the hunt progressed, the condition of the ground and si of the weather betug quite favor- able tothe chase, Itwas notea bad day for riding, although chilling and cheerless tn the forenoon and moist enough later on to send the fox hunters home with wet jackets, It rained only vory little, if at all, while the run continued, though a cool breeze was blowing over the plains and the lowering clouds over- head threatened a storm, The only indications of the approaching meet at Garden City in the forenoon were the presence of somo top-booted gentlemen all ready to mount, the arrival of a few horses trom neighboring stabies and anxious movements of grooms aud stable attendants waiting for or carrying out the urders of their om- ployers, There were not many gathered for the pur- pose of following on the roads, as bas been the cus- tom since these bunts first commenced. The threat- ening state of the weather no doubt prevented muny from setting out for the scene of the meet in carria, to yet a glimpse ot the first dash and have a laugh at the stragglers as they turned tail upon their fences, The novelty of the sport on Long Island bas frequently veen tne occasion of rather curious proces- sions on the way to the different places of rendezvous, Poople have gathered in all sorts of conveyances and ~ In every style of garb to see the hounds, to hear tho tounding horn and to gaze"upon the pink coats of the fox hunters, These gutherings aro most notably when ibe meet isator near one of the towns, Yesterday ihere was a very slim foot and carriage attendance, ibe fixture being at a point some miles away from any village. About noon the hunters drew out from Garden City and turned eastward io the direction of the kennel Arrived there they found Mr. Griswold, master of the bounds, and Fitzpatrick, the whipper-in, ready to move. The hounds were baying in their eagerness to Tattersall baving recently sold this remarkably good ! looking horse to go to that country. “Last night old Sadler's Wells Theatre was filled to the door by othusiastic crowd," says the Sports- man of Saturday, October 27, **to witness the glove fight between J.

There were throe matches shot yesterday ut Creed- moor, these being the sixtn competition for the prize fowiing piece, the Irish-American Ulub match and the murksmau’s budge contgs. At noon it com- menced to rain and continued during the alteruoon. Notwithstanding the severity of the weather the hardy riflemet continued to peg in bull’s eyes as thoogh they did not feel the water which was going in at the neck and out at the heels, The mateh dor the prize lowling picce was open to all members of the National Rifle Association; wea- pon, any rifle within the rules; position, any; dis- tance, 1,000 yards; thirty rounds, with the privilege of two sighting shots; entrance fee, $1; the prize to become the property of the competitor winning it three times—not necessarily consucutively. There were ten entries, The match was called for eleven o’clock, and the shooting was ended by balf-past one. Mr ©. EB. Biydenburgh, of the American team of 1877, won the prize lor the third time, thus making it his own property. His score, 137 out, of 150 points, shows excelleut holding and steadiness, in spite of the wretched weather, Mr, W. M. Farrow also made a very fine record, scoring 136 points. Messrs. Jewell be released from captivity in the kennel yard, whi they stooa awaiting their master’s command, IN THE SADDLE. The number of those in the saddle as we started from the kennel was about a dozen altogether. Others Joined the chase later until a fleld of about sixteen horsemen had assembled. Among these were Mr. ¥. Gray Griswold on a chestnut, Mr. Robert Center on the smaliest of the two hunters he keeps at Garden City, Mr, E. Zborowski on bis big mare, Mr. August Belmont, Jr, out for the frst time aud mounted on His Lordship, a smallish but very stanch looking horse; Mr. Lloya S. Bryce on Resolute, Mr. F. Gebnard on his little chestnut horse, Mr. Frost on big dark brown horse and Mr. Town- send Percy on a gray. A jockey rodeo Mr. Frank Durand’s Staumpmaster. Mr. Clarence Levy on his mare Nanine, and followed by Stormaway, on which his groom was mounted, contrived to get in Yat the heel of the hunt,’’ having missed tho meet by the loss ofa train. A jog ofa mile or so in a southeasterly direction trom the kennel brought the field to Sprague’s farm, where a halt ensued until the hounds were turned loose, Then with the pack just a litte in Advance, though controlied by bis admonitions, Mr, Griswold passed through a barnyard, jumping out. Into the field beyond, followed by the horsemen in single fite, HITTING OFF THE SCENT. By the time the last horseman had “negotiated” this little jump the hounds bad taken up the scent a few hundred yards off and were just breaking away. ‘The first three or four fences, though not very bigh, | had rathor awkward approaches tor green horses, and the result was that somo three or four nags at first relused, The pack was already commencing to run pretty fast and the field, with few exceptions, kept well upto them, The chase at first led along the outskirts ofa wood, which at this points tree rom undergrowths and contains some fine, tall oldtrees, On the spreading limbs of these several country boys perched them- «| selves So as to command a view of the hunt, and as the pack and horsemen dashed on beneath their gazo they shouted and hajlooed vociferously. ‘When a dozen or more jumps bad been taken the pack headed across the oper plain in @ orth: Girection for a considerable distance, This in quiet sport until the hounds turned from the plain into the fenced fields, aguin giving the jumpers a second opportunity to assert themselves, On went the hounds, flinging themselves over fences or dashing with headlong impetuosity between the open Tails as if they would burl themselves to destruction im their wild energy of pursuit. Over grasa fleida, throng lanes a little way, in soit stubble lands and fields whore the piough had softened the soil they had led up to this time, and vow the melody of tho pack wns very faint; they bad little spare breath to waste in music. The horses, too, were very warm but much more easily kept in baad than when at the start they (risked and pranced 60 play- fully. Presently the pack he@led westward. Leav- {ng the drag they had bit off the fox scent and were now speeding after ther rightfil game. They gained on him rapidly, spurred on by a burning scent, and when they broke from scent to view his race was short, the hounds rolling him over in full view of nearly the whole field, in a cabbage patch, avout a mile south of Hicksville, THe PINisit There were four or five horsemen right with the pack at the death besides Mr. Griswold and the whip- per in, Mr. Center and Mr. Zborowski were almost side by side. Mr. Center got the brush, bowever, and Mr. Zvorowski carried offthe mask. A pad wus given the jockey on Stumpmaster, who was not only frst in, according to his notion of position, but who pressed too closely on the hounds more than once during the chase. He not only got this token, however, but he | also got pretty roundly abused for crowding the | hunteman and endangering the limbs and lives of bis pets. Stumpmaster is, however, a rather hard horse to hold, and way be said to bo the chief cause of the seouble. Tho second pad was given to a country outh who was in third at the finish, Not more than a few Jengths behind were Mr. Frost, Mr. Bryce, Mr. Gebbard Mr. Belmont and some others, and at the Hime the foremost hound rolled the tox over almost | the entire feld were ju positiou where they could seo the finish. Al! dismounted at the nish and walked their foaming horses to and fro to keep them trom catching cold alter the run it was a quick ran, with fewer jumps than have been crossed at auy provious it, There were no falls of any consequence, and horse, rider and hound returaed benefited by the phase, though also tired by it, brief as it was. On the way the rain catne down sufliciently to make the hunt- ers burry homeward. The next bunt is ixed for Wednestay next at ono o'clock P. M.

General Shaler 18 of opinion that as the conditions of the trophy mate cunnot be altered it resis entirely with the victorious team to say where the next com- petition shall be held. Tne conditions lay down the rule that the match sball be shot iu the country of the winning team; thereiore the Americans, who now hoid the trophy, can demand their next competitors to come nere and shoot for i, The couditions of this great match are unalterable, excepting by the common consent of the world’s riflemen, to whom the trophy was presented last year, The teams that have thus fer participated in the contest are those represenung America, Ireiand, Scotland, Australia, Uanada, England.

The British rage for the Italian opera, the enormous sums paid to the sing- ers, the bearish manners of Handel, the mania for gaming, the audacity of highwaymeu and the imposi- uuons upon credulity, did nol escape the pencil of tho satirist, Nor were the abuses of the Church over- looked, Qne piewure, entitled “The Fat Piuralist and His Lean Curates,” published in 1733, representing a corpulent dignitary of the Church in a chariot, drawn by wix meagre and wretched curates, with appropriate text, helped greatiy to reform the abuses of the Church Ring. ‘The caricavorist’s pencil had plenty of subjects dur- ing the French Revolution.

February 22, 1787, The picture represents # babogp dressed as a Frenon cook sitting at a desk, while @esembled be- fore him is every variety of barnyard fowl. Cook— “Dear objects of my cure, Uhave assembled you to as- certun with what sauce you want to be eaten’? Fowts—''But we don’t want to be eaten. at ail.’ Cook—“You are departing from the question.” Tho picture appeared when the deficit tu the revenue had become most alarming, and it was at length proposed to tax the nobility, clergy and magistrates, hitherto exempt from vulgar taxation, But the as- semvly of the notables, which was cimelly composed of the exempt, preferred to pro- long inquiry into the caus ot the deficit, and showed ap unconquerable reluctance to impose a |.tax upon themselves, It was during this delay that the caricature appeared, In the chapter on ‘‘Carica- tures of Women und Matrimony” Mr, Purton speaks his mind about Gavarni, the most noted Freuch carica- turist, and breaks a jance in favor of woman, *‘Ga- varni,’’ bo says, ‘well represents men in this sorry business of reviling women, for in all the oid civiliza- tions men in general have done precisely what Gavarni did recently in Paris—first degraded women, then laughed at them.”’ 1t is foolish as well as unjust to believe that French women were as Gavarai pulnted them, ‘We had in Now York some years ago,” says Mr. Parton, “a dozen or two of young follows, more or leas connected with the press, most of them of for- eign origin, who cherished the delusion that eat- {og a bad supper ina cellar late at night, and uttering or singing sem{-drunken nonsense, was an exceedingly noble, bigh spirited and literary way of consuming a weakly constitution and a small salary. They thought they werg doing something in the mauner otf Dr, Jobnson aod Charles Lamb, Any one who should have judged New York iu the year 1855 by the writ- ings of these young gentlemen would bave supposed that we were wholly given up to silly, vulgar and reckless dissipation, But, in truth, the ‘Bohemians,’ as they were proud to be styled, were both few and ia- signiticant; their moving scribblings expressed nothing but the looseness of their own lives, and that was baif pretence.” Can Mr. Parton refer to the Bohemians who made their headquarters ‘‘at Piail’s? A numberof Ga- Varni’s caricatures are given, Ove represents a man's scorn for woman. She 18 seated with hend bung and hands buriea 1 the pockets of her apron. He is standing vefore her, satirical with rage, saying, ‘You frank! You simple! Haveconiidenceinyou! You! Why you would blow your nose with your left hand for nothing but the pleasure of deceiving your right, if you could.’? Two young ladies tu confidential con- versution:—“When I think that M. Coquardeau is going to be my bisband I feel worry for Alexander.” “And I for M. Coquardeau,”” 01 Charles Pnilipon, the founder of Le Charivari, Mr. Parton says that he was an unknown and inlerior artist around whom gathered ‘+a number of Bobemian draughtsmen and writers, not one of whom appears then to have shared in tho social life of the country or to have had the faintost conception of the consideraioa due to a teilow citizen in a place of such extreme difi- culty os the head of as government.’”’ The King was a good target, and ho riddied him with olack lead, At this time Gavarni was satirizing the children, and bis series of “Enfants Terribies”’ was creating a laugh’ that echoed uround the world. One of these childron, a boy of four, prattles to his mothber"n this strait ‘Nurse is going to get up very early, now that you bave come home, mamma, Good- ness, while you were ip the country ahe always bad her brenktast in bed, and 1t was papa who took in the milk and lighted the fre, But wasn’t the coffee joily sweet, though!’? Anotuer sketch shows a father, mother They pass a man who turns bis eyes another way. The boy sees him and bewls to his mother:—“Mamma! mamma! that M. du Luxembourg! You know him—the one you said was such a friend to papa, He has gone by with- out saluting! I suppose tho reason is he don’t know how to bebave!”! German wit is of-an entirely aifferent order trom Fronch, The jokes of the former are eent and simple, whilo in the latter there is always a double entendre, Spanish jokes are @ great deal like the French; for instance:—Picture a fast-looking woman and the janitor of a lodging hou He says You wish to see the landlord? J think he does not moan to have ladies in his house who are alone.” She re- plies, ‘1 am never alone. » Itallan caricature is mostly on political or religious subjects, Enghan caricature of the present century, beginning with Gillroy wnd drifting to Crakshank (whom Parton calle “the founder of the new school, the virtuous gchvol of comic art”), Leech, Tonniel acd Da Maurier and others, forms one of tho most interesting parts of the book. ‘It 1s Dickens who is justly hailed ag the | transiator’s hands, NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER lL, 1877.--QUINTUPLE SHEET. ists and comic artin Punch, To the American Leech’s caricatures on English fashions and follies are the most entertaining, One gets a better idea of every day England from Leech aud Do Maurier than [rom whole libraries of descriptive books.

Nast is strong in hs ideas but his drawings are coarse, They vever appeal to the intelligence, He did a good work in exposing the Tammany Ring, but he has often offended good taste in dealing with persons who have pot provoked such handling. Mr. Parton closes bis very agreeable book with an account of tho laying of the corner stone of W.E Baker’s pigpen in 1875, which, in our opinion, wag the dreuriest attempt at a joke, and seemed more like the whim of @ lunotic than the fun of a sane man. ALFRED DE MUSSET. Tus BioGRarny oF ALFuED px Musset, Translated irom the French of Paulde Masset, by Harriet W. Preston, Boston: Roberts Brothers, ‘The translator’s preface ls rather a damper to our evjoyment of this book, for in it we are told that it is anything “but a sober and truthful piece of portrait- ure.” In reading the book, there/ore, we feel of every statement, “Ob this tg mot trae; the biographer 18 only whitewasbing bis brotber!”” We would much preter swallowing the pili so well ‘sugar coated with- out being remipded that the sugar was only on the outside. Certainly M, Paul de Musset bas given us a more ugrecable idea of his brother than the one con- veyed by Paul Lindau, of Berlin, Paul de Mus- set treats bis vrother as a hero and pulls the mantie of genius over his weak points. Ho treats him as a spoiled child, a petted darling, who need obey no masier but impu: Allred de Musset was full of faalts, bul we agree with his brotuer that be Was not as responsible us agreat many other men, He not only had the peculiarities of genius, and French gemius at that, but he had the gemus itself, From babyhood he was a wonder, His genius for failing in love, like tbat lor writing, developed before he put on koickerbockers, His childbood did pot difler greatly from tbat of other sensitive children; be was tor- | mented by big boys and hud many a good cry in | secret. As be grew older and bis writings gained him a place im the salons of Paris he be- came a ‘great favorite, particularly with the ladies, His brother doals with his ‘affairs’ hike a true Frenchman, in each instance blaming the lady and sympatuizing with Alfred. Ot te memorable flight to Italy with George Sand the writer says:—"Al{red de Mussot felt that this Italian Journey must remain but a half-lormed purposo until he bad attamed his | mother’s consent, One morning, at the family break- fast, he appeared preoccupied. I know what was on his mind, and was hardly less occupied thanbe. On rising from the table he sauntered avout with an air of hesitation. At lust he plucked up courage and made a cautious official announcement of his intentions, adding that bis plans were subject to bis mother’s approbation. His request was received likea piece of undeniably bad news, ‘Never,’ suid our mother, ‘will 1 consent 1o a journey which I regard as a dangerous und fatal thing. I know that my oppost- tion will be overrulod and that you will go, but it will be against my wishes and without my sanction.” For a short time be hoped to overcome this resistance by explaining on what condition the trip was to be made; but when he saw that his pertinacity served Dut to excite a flood of toars be immediately altered his determination and sacrificed his project. ‘Re- assure yoursell,’ ne said to bis motuer; ‘I will not go. Ifit {8 absolutely necessary that somebody should weep it shallnot be you.’ And he actually went out tocoun- termana the preparatory orders which ne had given. ‘The same evening about nine o’clock our mother was sitting with her daughter by the fre when word was brought ber that a lacy was waiting outside in @ hack- Mey coach and very anxious to speak to her, Our mother went down, uccompanied by a servant, and we unknown lady gavo ber name. She then entreated the auxious motner to intrusther son to her, promis. ing that she would herself show him a mother’s care and tenderness. Promises not proving sufficient she proceedéd to vows, She employed all her eloquence, and it must have been great, to huve secured her suc- cess in such an enterprise, In a moment of emotion consent was exiorted, and for all Alfred had said our mother was the one to weep.” The trip to Italy was made, Wecks passed, and Alired returned alone and til. He wrote verses, and burned all his books and pictures so that there would be nothing to remiod him of the past, This lesson did notdo him any good, for it was not long betore he was agaio in the fire, and again his wings were burned, This biography relates the circum. stances ander which the most of his poems and prose works were written, and tells of bis tribulations as a playwright; for the most popular playwriter siuce Molidre was hissed irom the stage before he wus re- ceived, Whatever may be M. Paul de Mussot’s faults as a biographer he has certainly made a tascinating volume, which bas lost none of its charms at the A CHECKERED LIFE. CoxckereD Live: In tH OLD WoRLD AND IN THR. New. By Rev. J. L. Ver Menr. Sau Fraucisco: a, L, Bancroft & Go., 1877. A “Checkered Lite” is the autobiography of an Episcopal clergyman of Austrian birth, but now quar- tered on the Pacific coast, who in bis old age sits down to record the many failures and successes of a varied career in the hope that his hardly eurued ex- perieuce may serve a guide to those who are just | beginning to tread the rough and winding goad which | be is leaving. With thie intention he hag sought to put every action of his life in the clearest light, neither concealing his motives nor attempting to shilt the responsibility of bis own deeds upon other shoulders. Where be has erred (and bis errors are | those of judgment, not of principle) he acknowledges | his mistake with all hamility, The record of his lite 1s marked by such extreme simplicity aud tuirne: 3 to give it the appearance of having been written for peivate perusal and edification rather than for tho public eye, This remark appiles as‘well to the man- ner as to the matter of the work, though the style, | however familiar and uaconstraived, never falls into | slovenliness. Many chapters are as interesting, aud jn some cases as thrilling, a8 @ nove! of adventure, Mr, Ver Mohr’s recollections date back to the year 1813, when a boy of tour be stood by the window of bis family mansion and watched the wreck of the Grand Ariny pass along the main street of bis native village on its return to France. The long line of horsemen, wagons und foot soldiers continued almost unbroken for mavy days; then an attack was made upon iis rear, and wounded soldiers were brought into the room with, the gentle objid to die, Again, a few months Javer, a crowd of Prussian hussara took pos- session of the house, broko open the wine cellars and kept the peaceful mansion in acontinual siate of up- roar, Similar scenes of riot and disorder prevailed tor two long months Then for more than a year th was a reign of peace. Finally, in midsummer, 1815, the boy’s ears were greeted with the distant roar of cannon; sometimes in quick succession, somatimes at long intervals, It came from the battle of Watorioo, avd “with ite dying echoes ended the bright vision of wealth aud power as conceived in childhood. For though not directly opposed to, yet not in favor of tho Emperor Napoleon, my tamily bad borne ail the crush- ing tnsolence of the Restoration, and its nearly primovly wealth, exhausted by taxations and contribu. tions, at last received its death viow by the vandalism of wose who came to restore, Ot all the possessions nothing remained but the ancestral boine, still occu. pied by our family.” Even this was soon gone, and one sultry alterooon in summer the cbildron were put into a carriage and driven off to a small but pleasant dwelling on (he banks of the Meuse, where their mother awaited them. The elder Vor Mohr’s wealth and influonce made him an object of suapicion and danger to the govern- ment, which he refused to acknowledge, and, despite the aid of powerfat friends, for a long time he was compolied tu fly from one part of the country to an. other without finding any place where ne would be founder of that benign school of comic art which gives us humor without coarseness and satire without ill nature,” says Mr. Parton, very truly, And now we come to John Leech, prince of refined caricatar. secure from arrest, His son, the author of this work, {| quently were able to escape only with much diff. culty and danger. Finally, nowever, they found ea asylum in the ancient city of Leyden, where tne s0n al an early age entered the University, graduating afow years later with the highest honors, While still pursuing bis studies he, with 250 fellow students, fole Joweos the Prince of Or: the campaign for tne in- vasion of Bolxigm. Shortly after nis graduation bis services were sought by tne Baron de Gevers, then & Miniater of State, a@ the tustructor of his sons; and alter the death of bis father, the young man having abandoned the flattering prospects of wealth and po- sition to be achieved in the East Indies, devoted bim- self to the “Christian imstruction” of youtn, With this ambition in his mind he opened an academy in ‘The Hague, and with the favor of the King, who had once been a triend of bie futher, ana the aid of the Baron de Gevers, succeeded in drawing to hia school many sons of noble famtlies, Tho death of tho King and the coldness of his successor led to the re- moval of West End Institute to Brussels. There it was carried on successfully for somo time, but at last losing ground was abandoved, and Mr. Ver Mohr came with his wife and child to this country, spending some time in New York and giving iustraction in languages at Polbam Priory in Westcnester county. In thiscity he bad a letter of introduction trom Merle d’Aubign¢d to his brother, a merchant. He also met Jobn Jacob Astor, and made the acquaintance of other influential men. From New York he removed to Riverside, on the Delaware, and was ordained to the Episcopal mipisiry by the venerable Bishop Doane, whom he sted both as curate and in the capacity of instructor at St. Mary’s Hall, Thence he went ag @ missionary to California when tho golii fever was at iis beigot. Since that time Mr. Ver Mehr has re- mained in California, organizing the Second Episcopal Church in San Fraucieco aud opening the first school for young la in the newly settled State, A portion of bis time was wasted tn @ disastrous attempt to cule tivate the geape, while he found more benefit and en Joyment in clerical and literary labor, He now lives with hw wife apd eldest son in San Francisco, equally respected and beloved by all who know him. “A Checkered Lite” is an exceedingly interesting work, The account of the wanderings of father and son is thrilling ana romantic, ‘the story of adven- tures in the Belgian campaizo reads like the de- scription of war scenes by Erckmana-Cuatrian, and the mistortunes of a varied career in this country, with the characteristic scenes of early California life, are portrayed by atnoughttul brain ald skilful pen, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.
