ACADEMY OF MUSIC—‘‘LUCTA.” largest operatic matinée that has been given son filled the Academy of Music yesterday until it was almost impossible to obtain foothold even in the doorways. Mime. Gerster has become so farnous in her several ré/es, and has so well illustrated the reputation she brought from Europe, that it is not a matter of surprise that she is attracting the largest audiences ever assembled in New York, Her pure voice, exquisite fecknique and the sympathy that attaches to genuine warmth of expression, combined with the true dramatic art with which she bas illustrated every character, are well calculated to make an impression aud win for her in the New, as well as the Old World, thi pane ctale who njoy the opera. Her Lueia has already been de- scribed, and it is therefore unnecessary to add to the words of praise that attached to her former appear- ance. It is one of her tavorite characters, and en- ables her to introduce many splendid vocal effects, ‘These were thoroughly enjoyed yesterday, for she sang with a tasteful fervor that will long be re- membered by lovers of music, and in going from New York to Boston she leaves behind her many artistic reminiscenses. Cammpanini, Galassi ‘oli were likewise in admirable condition, and never sang more excellently, “Lucia” abounds in arias and choruses that are familiar in every culti- ted home circie, and it is not a wonder that the vast audience was held entranced from the beginning to the end of tl srformance. “Les Papillons” closed the season ler Majesty's Opera,” STEINWAY HALL---‘‘THE MESSIAH.” The largest audience that has been gathered at Steinway Hall this season was present at the per- formance of “The Messiah” Jast night by the Oratorio Society. The good effects of the public rehearsal of yesterday were evident in every feature of the performance, especially im the chorus, which was fuller in numbers than at the rehearsal, and sang throughout with unslagging zeal, as if inspired. Its efforts were complimented by frequent applause, and the unusual honor of an en- core attended the rendering of “For Unto Us a Child Is Born.” ‘The soloists, reinforced by Mr. M. W. Whitney, left little to be desired. Miss Hauk per- ceptibly improved her admirable performance of yes- terday, singing “Rejoice Greatly” with a true appre ciation of its spirit, and giving “Come Unto and Kn Him" ow That ly Redeemer Liveth” with winning tenderness and exquisite delicacy. Mies Drandil, as before, aroused the audience deeply in “He Shall Feed His Flock,” and Mr. Simpson sang with fine feeling, if ‘not with power. Mr. Whitney, in tne bass part, was a tower of strength that yave balanes and solidity to the performance as a whole, The fatigue and expo- sure incident to his journey through the snow left but few traces upon his voice, which was y its Dest: _extate. In “Why Do and “The Trumpet | 1 Shall Sound” he electrifi.d the audience with his tow C, which no, other basso can ive as he can in oratorio, and his recitat'ves were as effectively ren- The orchestra played better than at the re- hearsal, and the strings were exceptionally good in the pianissimo passag+s. The brass instruments ‘were not 2s happy, and the trumpet accompaniinent in “The et. «Shall Sound” was not t it should have been. Mr. 8S. P. Warren we some admirable accompaniments ‘and Dr. Pamrowh led with his usual good taste and skill: He made several cuts, all of which were judicious ex- ‘geese ‘the omission of the fine tenor air, “Thou Shalt Break Them.” If this can be omitted why not dis- with the chorus, “Surely He Hath Borne Our the music of ‘which 1s not significant of the sense of the words, and which, ‘if technically ad- anirable,” is, as placed in the score, tiresome? “And why not, too, cut out some of the da capo passages sin the tremendous closing chorus, “Worthy is the «Lamb,"’ where the iteration of one phrase 1s #0 ex- Qgusive as to suggest that the composer designed a choral tournament of four parts? Ite execution last tt whs complimentary to the endurance of the ‘singers, but it would be a pleasure to have Dr. Dam- srosch’s revisions as ruthlessly applied to this ax to ‘other portions of the work. The great length of the ,performance, satistactory as it was, indicated that ‘the work is yet too long to be altogether agreeable. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. Miss Mary Anderson is playing to large houses in “the West. The price of admission for children at Booth’s has “been reduced to twenty-five cents. The Florencex are en rowle to San Francisco, where ‘they have a three weeks’ engayement. Rice's Combination announce an opening at the Lyceum Theatre on the 6th of January. “The Barbarian” is aunounced at the Olympic as ‘the play tor to-morrow night and during the week. “Only a Farmer's Daughter” at the Globe Theatre ‘Seems to Lave touched the popular taste and is draw- ing tair houses. “Cinderella” at the New York Aquarium, with its accompanying attractions, is one of the holiday fea- ‘tures of the season. “The Babes in the Wood” are making a sensation at the Park. The children of the town seem anxious to ree what they do. Tke Theatre Comique people are jolly over the holidays, apd sre presenting sketches that are charac- teristic of the season. Miss Ado Dyas bas been engaged to support Mr. Dion Boucicault in the “Shaughrann’ at the Grand ‘Opera House to-morrow evening. “The Banker's Daughter” continues to hold court et the Union Square Theatre. Such a superbly amounted play deserves nothing but favorable com- ‘ ment. ‘The programme at the Lyceum Theatre is one that fommands attention, inasmuch as the play, “Double Marriage,’ is good and nearly all of the artists are Bflective. : The San Francisco Minstrels are turning away people. They have invented new jokes, new fan, and Juanage ou of the most attractive entertainments in New York. Four cham er concerts are announced at Chickering “Hall by the New York Philharmonic Club, commenc- ing on Januury 7. The programme comprises several excellent artists. “New York and London” at Niblo’s is to be followed to-morrow by “Peep o’ Day,” with Mr. Frank Evans vas Harry Kavanaugh. A bit of variety entertainment will also be introduced, “Almost a Life’’ is about to be withdrawn from the Doards of the Standard Theatre and transferred to the road. It has many elements of popularity and has amply rewarded the management. . Jeflextun’s engagement at the Fifth Avenue ‘Tueatre will probably be followed by the production jot anew five-act comedy entitled “Doctor Clyde,” ‘translated and adapted from the German. Tony Pastcr's variety performances are drawing full houses. His artists are select, and it is to his -credit that he never allows a word to be uttered in ‘bis theatre that will offend a woman's ear, Mr. Macaw at the Broadway Theatre, in the character of “Cucle Dan'l, the Messenger froin Jarvis Section,” has made a New York reputation that need not be complimented by any word of praise in this column. Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher, ithe son of tho cele- rated Irish orator, is said to be making quite a sue- cess asam actor, He isnow playing in “Christmas Moys and Sorrows,” at Harrigan & Hart's Theatre | Comique. At Miss Minnie Cummings’ theatre, on Twenty- fourth street, a new programme has been arranged for the coming week. “Monsieur Jacqnes” and the “Irish Emigrant” are the two plays named for Presentation. Mr. Dion Boucicault begins an engagement at the Grand Opera House to-thorrow evening in lis famous eharacter of Coun, the Shanghraun, The castisa strong one and characteristic of the well known en- terprise of the management, “Rip Van Winkle’ at the Fifth Avenue Theatro, with Mr. Joseph Jefferson as the chief character, ought to be one of the best drawing plays of the season. ‘There are no better plays now on the New York stage aud there are few better actors. Mr. derry Thomas on Tuesday evening will open his old place on Broadway, between Thirtieth and [Thirty-first streets, «san opera house. He intends to make it @ favorite resort for ladies and children and to produce the best of minstrel performances. ‘The third public rehearsal of the Symphony Society vot New York, under the direction of Dr. Damroseh, will take place on the afternoon of January 2, at two and the third symphony concert on Saturday evening, January 4. The soloists are August Wil- helm and Miss Anna Drasdil, At Wallack’s to-morrow night a new play will be presented under the name of “At Last.” Mr. Lest ‘Wallack will appear in the cast, The plot of the play is strong, and those who bave seen the rehearsals de- seribe it as one of the best ever presented on the ‘Dbuarls of this favorite theatre, Many of the theatrical combinations travelling in the West have been snowbound during the past week. Among them is the company of Miss Gene- Ward, who tried to move from Rochester to | and afterward NEW YORK HERALD, Oswego and Buffalo. The snow scene in “Jane | Shore” must come in quite patly. At the Graud Opera House this evening another © grand concert will be given by Gilmore’s Band. The leading artists of the oceasion are Mile de Murska, J. Levy, the cornetist; Signor Susini and Mr. C. A. Pratt, The programme ts one of the most attrac- tive of the season, De Murska will sing ‘The Sweet Bye and Bye" and the ‘‘Last Rose of Summer.” On the 6th of January Mr, Max Strakosch proposes to begin a three weeks’ season of Italian opera at Booth’s Theatre, when he will have the services of Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, Miss Maria Litta, Miss Aunie Louise Cary, Giulia Mario, Signor Rosnati, Lazzarini, Charles Adams, Pantalolini and a well se- lected chorus and orchestra, under the direction of Messrs. 8, Behrens and De Novelis. ‘‘Aida’’ will be given on the opening night, January 6, ‘Two extravyaganzas in one evening are announced for next week at Booth’s, “Evangeline,” with its best scenes, will be given in two acts, including the popular songs and dances, the Lone Fisherman and the Dancing Heiter. This will be followed by “Babes in the Wood,” condensed into one act, 50 a8 to lose none of its hilarity. The schoolroom scene, with Mr. James S. Matfitt as the dancing master, the Educated Donkey, and Mr. Gus Williams in his spe- cialties, are among the attractions. Reményi is to introduce three new pieces at the concert to-night at Booth’s Theatre, including a ro- manza composed expressly for him by Mr. F. Dulcken, a Hungarian fantasie (original) and a capric- cio for violin alone by Paganini. Two débutantes— Miss Gertrude Franklin, soprano, and Miss Clara Poole, contralto, the latter a favorite Boston artist— will appear for the first time here, with Signor Cam- yobello, Herr Franz Rummel, Mr. Ch, Fritsch and Mr, F. Dulcken. Au addition of considerable importance has been made f the company of the Germania Theatre in the person of ‘‘Friiulein” Héléne Kuhse, the new sou- brette, who arrived here a little over a week ago. ‘Miss Kuhse made her début on Christmas night be- fore a large and enthusiastic audiente in the musical comedy, “Ihre Familie,” and evidently became a favorite. Her appearance is petite and animating. Her physique is somewhat like that of the late Mary Gannon. The play will be repeated every night this week. The season of opera just closed has been one of the most successfn! ever inaugurated in New York. The Academy of Music has rarely been filled with larger or more brilliant audiences. We have enjoyed “Car- men” with Miss Minnie Hank, and with it a new sen- sation. We have seen her in ‘Traviata’ and “Don Giovanni; we havs heard Etelka Gerster in ‘Rigoletto, Sonnambula,” ‘‘Faust,”” “Il Flauto Magico,’ “Trovatore,”* “Lucia” and a seene from ‘“Dinorah;" all the artiste have been good, and Colonel Mapleson has verified his promise that he would give a series of operas to which the music-loving public could take no excep- tion. The chorus has been excellent and the orehes- tra, under the direction of Signor Arditi, superb. The largest house of the season was on the occasion ofthe benefit given by Colonel Mapleson to the stockholders, when, as we are informed, nearly $6,000 was realized. It must not be forgotten that among other artists who have distinguished themselves are Min Sinico, Lablache, Pisani, Parodi; and Signors Campanini, Galassi, Frapolli, Foli and Del Puente. They will carry from New York the plei antest of memories, Special mention must also be made of the ballet, under the direction of Signor Francesco. The graceful Malvina Cavalazzi is by far the best danseuse we have had for years, and her de- parture before the finish of the season was regretted. CINCINNATI MUSIC SIC HALL.

IS HE A MANIAC? A FARMER STOPPING AT THE METROPOLITAN HOTEL SHOOTS AN OFFICER WHO ATTEMPTS TO ARREST HIM FOR DISORDERLY coNDUCT— CALM AND RATIONAL WHEN IN CUSTODY. Yesterday about one o'clock a terribie tragedy was enacted at the Metropolitan Hotel, an officer in the discharge of his duty—Patrolman John H, Furniss, of the Fourteenth precinet—receiving two pistol shot | wounds which, it is feared, must prove fatal. The man who committed this crime is surmised to be a lunatic, but his subsequent conduct renders this supposition by no means certain, In conversation with one of the clerks of the Met- ropolitan this version of the story was elicited :— “About one o'clock a lady guest came down into the office, seemingly in a state of great excitement. She said that a gentleman in the parlor on the second floor was displaying pistols trom his pockets, much to the consternation of the guests, especially the Jadies and children. They felt in danger of their lives, she said, and begged that something be done to remove the man or take away his weapons. We im- mediately despatched Detective Keely, who is regu- larly in attendance’ at the hotel, to the parlor designated, where he found that the excited and obnoxious personage was & guest who had registered with us on Christmas Day under the | name of William L. Palmer, of New York. Mr. Keely could not pacify the man, but finally persuaded him to go to his room. The detective then went to the Fourteenth precinct station house, and, represent- ing the apparent violent intentions of the mun, Cap- tain Brogan detailed three officers—John H. Furniss Thomas Burns and Ww iia Ryau—to proceed to the hotel and arrest him.’ ARMED AND ENTRENCHED. Arriving at the hotel the otticers went to Palmer's room and demanded admission; but as soon as he heard them he scemed to be worked into a perfect freuzy, and cries ont: «Whoever comes in here I will shoot.” In the tace of this threat, aud knowing Palmer to be armed, the officers would not torce the door, but deemed strategy the best plan. So after a hurried consultation, Lot only amyng themselves, but with the hotel proprietors, they were assigued an adjacent room, the instructions being to seize and disarm Palmer as soon as he should appear in the hallway. He did not come out tor some time. Meanwhile the guests of the hotel were in 4 state of consternution, At length the man appeared and the officers advanced toward him. ‘THE FATAL SHOTS, Officer Furniss was the first to reach him, and caught him about the body, but the prisoner, freeing his right hand, fired. The ‘first shot lodged a bullet in the officer's left breast. A second shot, fired al- most simultaneously, put @ ball in the officer's This latter’ wound ix the one most likely tal to the brave patrolman. ESCAPE, PURSUIT AND CAPTURE, Owing to the consternation and the suddenness of the attack Palmer was able to rush by the officers and reach Broadway, down which he dashed with the speed of a descr. Officers Burns and Ryan, recovering, followed with equal speed, “and nearly opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel cap- tured the desperado. It was then found that in the second discharge of the pistol he had broken a finger and wounded himself badly in the hand. He was taken to the Fourteenth precinct station, Mean- while poor Furniss was removed to St. ent’s Hospital, where he received prompt medical care; but up to alate hour neither of the balls had been extracted, and the patient was rapidly sinking. He was attended by his wife and four children, AT THE STATION MOUSE, A reporter of the Hrnanp visited the station house to inquire into Palmer‘s demeanor when taken there by the officers. ‘The sergeant in charge said that the man talked rationally and intelligently. He answered the usual questions as to his age and occupation, saying that he was a farmer, trom Stonington, Conn, When a tew dollars in money and his watch and trinkets were taken from him he very coolly asked to be shown the schedule of his property and de- manded to know how he was to recover his valuables when he got out. He was then taken to Bellevue Hospital, at his own request, in order that the wound in his hand should be dressed. ‘The revolver with which the officer was shot is a Smith & Wesson, nickel plated, of thirty-two inch calibre, Russian model, Only two chambers were empty. It 1s retained in the Fourteenth precinct sta- tion house. VICTIM AND PRISONER. Furniss was a powerful inan, weighing, probably, two hundred and twenty-five pounds. But for the fatal error of granping Palmer about the body, in- ning his arms, he wonld not have re- ceived his wounds. Palmer is a dark complexioned man, about thirty-five years of age, and wears w black mustache. He ix said to. be respectably counected at Stonington, Conn., and has been in business there. He has stopped ut the Astor House frequently, his last registration on the hotel books here tats ‘De- cember 14.

Palmer, who is reported as having shot a New York officer to-day, is a son of Rev. A. G. Palmer, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church in Ston- ington. He has three brothers—A. M., of the Union Square Theatre; Henry, a wholesale salt dealer in New York city, and Walter H., who is in mercantile business in China, One sister, Sarah, is living at her father’s house. Auother sister died’ about a year ago. Dr. Palmer is one of the oldest and most widely known clergymen in Eastern Connecticut, a man of scholarly attainments, and looked npor as an anthority in theological matters by his sect. He is an active worker despite his seventy-seven years, and is generally called upon to preside in Baptist conventions and meetings of « similar nature, His first wife, the mother of William 1., died many years ago, and he is now living with a second wife. He has acquired @ modest competence, and could rest from his manifold labors did he feel inclined, He is a native of North Stonington, but the greater part of his ife has been paxsed in Stoning- ton.

F. Ash, now dead, formerly a shipmaster and prominent citizen of Stonington. She bore him five children, It is reported that his domestic relations are not of the happiest, and several separations have taken place, but the healing oflices of Dr, Paliner brought them together again in_ each instance. Their lust rennion took place abont four months ago. It is ssid that some months prior to that time he suddenly left bis wite, both being in New York at the time, and came to Stonington. She placed, her children in friendly handy in a village adjacent tw New York and followed her hnsbaud to his father’s home. . He, however, learned of her approach and departed for New York before her ar- rival. subsequently made up their differences and lived together, No xymptoms of insanity have been exhibited by William L.
