Blumor and Miss May Youman. In Yesterday's Ball Game at Eastern Park. The Championi Flayed a Splendid Same, but Anen' Mn Wre Too Active. Remits of Contests in Other Places. The toam of colts under Anson's able management and captaincy havo not played a finer game of ball this season than thoy did yesterday on tho occasion of thoir first appearanco at Eastorn park.

In every respoct was it an exceptional contest, and it probably will not bo oqualed this series. Tho visitors placed their strongest team in the field, and thoir battery work and the Hold support given it could not well bo oicollod. Tho championB did masterly work in the field, their outfiolding boing a splendid exhibition in tho cutting off of base hits by fine catches, while in no game this season have they dono more scientific hitting than in this gamo, nearly evory hit being to tho grauud, not a ungo hit marring thoir batting record. But try as thoy might they could not place their sharp hit grounders out of reach of tlie remarkablyactive in. Holders they faced on this occasion.

Out of twenty one chancoa offered to Pfcffer and Cooney all but two wero accepted, this record boing a remark ablo ono in infield play. On tho other hand tho champions did fine work in their positions, and but for the failure of Terry's arm it is questionable if tho visitors would have scorod more than a single run. As it was thoy found it very difficult to get iu three in tho entire gajnc, and bases on balls helped two of these. It was not a pitchers' gamo so much, as only six men wera retired on strikes in tho ontiro gamo, and ono of these was tho veteran Anson himself, whom Caruthers Btruck out. Tho champions gave but throe chances for outfield catches the entire gamo, a fact show ing marked improvement in their batting.

Piukney again bore off the palm at tho bat, two beautifully placed balls from Hutchinson's swift aud accurato pitching marking his batting score. In tho third inning it looked as if the homo toam would get the lead. Pinkney led off with a beauty to center and after Kinslow had fouled out Terry was given a lifo. He had hit a beauty to the right along the ground, which had got by Ausou, aud, aa Pfeffer ran in to field the ball almont at first baso, bo tossed it over Anson's head and Torry had the base. Pinkney getting to second on tho error.

Collins was thou splondidly caught out on afoul byKittrodge, and Just at this juncture Ward made a modol tap of the ball safely to left field and two mon wore ou earned bases. I'inknoy thought he could run homo on Ward's hit, but Ryan wits too quick for him and on tho thrown iu George was caught at the base aud a blank was drawn. The champions mado base hits in their last throo innings, Burns' hit being a sharp grounder, whilo that of Daly struck rough turf in front of Cooney aud darted out of his reach. The gamo waa virtually lost iu tho first three innings, when tno visitors got in three hits off Terry, which yielded two runs, a base on balls giving one. In tho third inning he gave throo bases on balls, after Cooney had boon splendidly caught out by Griffin, but a beautiful running catch by Burns and another by Collins left three men on bases and a blank was drawn.

Terry then complained of his arm and Caruthers took his piece iu tno box. Iu the fourth inning, after Caruthers had Btruck Hutchinson out, Kittrodgo lifted a ball out of O'Brien's reach aud wont to third base, and then Ryan's safe bounder Bent him home. A baso on balls followed and on Dahlen'B sacrifice two bases wore occupied and another run in looked promising. Kinslow then threw down'to Becond to cut off Cooney trying to uteal there, and Ward, paying no attention to Cooney, caught Ryan betweou home and third, and ho was thrown out at third in trying to got back. It was a finely played point by Ward and it took Ryan in neatly.

Tho most romarkablo play of tho gamo, however, was that made by Kinslow andFoutz In the seventh inning, which cutoff two runs iu tho best style of tho art. Cooney started tho inning with a base on balls, Then Dahlen sent him to second with a sale tap to short center. With runners ou second and third basos and Anson at tho bat, an addition to the visitors' score looked certain; but Caruthers was equal to the occasion and by masterly box work ho struck the veteran out. Two men were still on basos, with but ono man out, and another cliauco to scoro remained. Carroll then hit to Pinkney sharply and for once George lost sight of the proper play, as instead of cutting the runner off at third ho throw low to Collins to cut off Dahlen running to second, Cooney getting to third safely on tho misplay and Dahlen to second.

Then Pfeffer bit to Foutz, who made a iiii9 pick up and throw out Cooney at tho home plate. Kinslow, after touching Cooney, threw low to Foutz to cut off Pfeffer, Davo making another fine stop, and as he fieided the bail at the base Pfeffer stepped on his hand and smashed his liugor. Not thinking of his injured hand, Davo throw home to Kinslow and cut off Dahlen, and by this masterly play of Foutz was another run cut off at tho homo plate aud blank was drawn by as fine an exhibition of fielding as any seen on tho grounds this season, and nil due to Foutz's fine play. It proved coat ly, howover, as Davo had to retiro, Daly taking his place at first base. Though tho champions woro defeated, thoy played a gamo which would havo won against any other team, and they had nothing to fool bad about except that they had not won.

In fact, there was more credit duo to tho champions in this defeat than for several victories they have at times achieved against poor box work or bad fielding. Only threo hits were made oil' Caruthoru' pitching the five inn ings during which he was in. tho box. Hence the regular Eaole score, giving a complete analysis of the play at the bat and in tho box, which no other score gives: Iir.ooKt.vs. n.

A stranger from Quoguo with seaweed in his hair succcoded iu getting a good deal of information this morning from Eiigiueoir Peck of the Montague street cable railroad. Ho said hie name was Jonas Smallback, and that tiring of picking potato bugs and sea grass for Farmer Stoutenborg he had decided to tako a rest and see Brooklyn for tho first time.

Ho had'seen the bridge, the elevated roads, tho new Eaole building, the post office, tho park and tho reservoir, and this morning be Btruck Montaguo Btroot and was at once attracted by tho odd looking Biit between tho tracks, through which tho grip will travel. He followed it down the street wonder ingly for a block or two and watched tho workmen who were engaged in clearing out the little tunnel through which the cable will run. Each of tho workmen had a big acoepliko hoe that fitted pretty snugly in the cable tube and was dragged through it by a thin iron handlo that projected through the slit. The mon hauled the dirt and gravel and stones that had fallen into the tunnel during tho operation of building to the nearest manhole, through which it was ro moved. A Mr.

Smallback watched this operation interestedly ho learned by persistont questioning that the cars were to bo drawn up and down the hill by a cable, that was to be drivon by steam in the Stato street power house. "Is the cable down there now?" he asked. "No, not yet," said Mr. Pock, amazed at the stranger's inquisitivoness. "Well how are ou going to got it in now? Why didn't you lay it in before you closed tho place up; how long is it going to be anyhow and But Mr.

Peck luterrnptod the flow of questions to explain that tho cable was about a milo long, that it was all ready for laying and that the operation would probably bo begun somo day next week. "It will bo as Bimplo as rolling off a log," he said, to got in its place iu tho tunnel. Tho ond of tho cable will bo inserted in the tunnel at the ferry and it will be attached to a grip that will project through the slit. Eighteeu or twenty horses will bo hitched to this aud they will yank it right up to Court street liko nothing. There it will go around the drum prepared lor it aud it will be brought through the drum tunnel in tho same way, oxcopt that at llicks street it will bo wound round tho drum to which the power will be communicated from tho Stato street station." "How mony ears are you goiug to run and how fast aro you going to run them was tho noxt question that suggested itself to Mr.

Smallback. "Fire cars oi the latest pattern will bo used to begin with and as mauy more as necessary will be added. The rate of Bpoed will be nine miles an hour and as the length of the road is about half a milo, tho run from Court street to tho ferry will be made in about three minutes." "Going to run the cars all night?" asked Mr. Smallback. "No." "What are you going to do with them when not running; hayo them standing on tho track?" "Not exactly.

They will bo storod in tho arches under the declivity of tho hill bntwoon Furman street and the ferry house and men are at work to day laying tracks there to facilitate that operation." "When you going to run tho first car?" "Don't know. Perhaps by the 15th of the month. Come around and have a lido; the grip man would liko to hear you talk." Mr. Smallback promised to bo on hand and ho wandered into Furmau stroet in a brown study. TUB JIG CLAVK FKRUY SUIT.

It is Set Down for Monday Jlcst flcCorc Judge Alli'll, Tho injunction suit brought by Edward H. Mc Clavo against the sinking fund commissioners of New York to prevent them from accepting the appraisement of the Union ferry property and to restrain them from renewing the ferry lease to tho Hollins people will come up lufore Judge Allen in the superior court on Monday morning. During tho pendency of tho proceedings tho ferry company holds over on the question of the lease, and should Mr. MeClavo be successful in proving the appraisement to havo been extravagant aud procure a permanent injunction it will open the way for bis newly incorporated ferry company, to be competitive bidders for tho leaso. In the meantime the Union ferry company peoplo aro proceeding as though tho leaso was the least thing they had to trouble them.

Yesterday they had a largo force of men at work on the slips aud racks of the Catherine ferry, by which the capacity of the ferry will be lessened by half. One of tho slips is to bo closed and the racks aro to be shortened by about 50 feet. Tho passengers have to put up with the inconvenience of finding an exit among the trucks and horses. This action was mado necossary by Mr. S.

B. Duryea, Irom whom the forry hold the lease of its dock property He notified them that he had use for the dock and pier, aud that as their lease for that portion of the property expired June 1 he wanted possession of it. "The public will not be at all inconvenienced," said Manager lCnapp, yesterday. Wo arc reducing the nizo of the racks by half because they will be more availablo aud better than ever adapted to the purposes of the ferry. The changes will bo compiyted in a very short time." "But is it true that you are about to abandon one of tho slips?" "Yes, one slip will be closed for good, but tho public will find that the remaining slip will furnish ample accommodation." Controller Myers of New York was very much surprised to hoar of thin action at tho Catiiariuo ferry.

"The company has absolutely no right to do anything of tho kind as making snob radical changos," said he, "without as much as consulting thu sinking fund commissioners. It is a flagrant abuse of privilogo and a breach of the express stipulations of tho lease. It will reduce tho capacity of that ferry by half, and I shall certainly move for an investigation at tho next meeting of tho linking fund commissioners." IX II0.OI OF DGACO.Y FOItRESTEIH.

A vetoran of tho war writes to tho Eaole as follows: To tin' Editor or the JiroolcWn Tho resolutions passed by Harry Lee post No. 21, G. A. as published in the Eacli: last even, ing, grates very harshly upon the feelings of tho family of Harry Lee. The post is named in honor of one who died for the Union.

Cantain Harry Lee was as true a soldier as ever wore the bine. He died in New Orleans of wounds ro ceived in action. His letters now in tiie possession of his relatives attest the kindnoss received from tho peoplo of the South. Flowers in abundance have b. en sent from tho South for his grave, yearaftcryear, inscribed with no name but "From the Gray for the Blue." It is strange that the post that is honored by bis name should show such a rebellious spirit against the prayer of tiio great commander, "Let us have peace." Suppose some old abolitionist should pass a resolution against any courtesy with those wiiose fathers were slaveholders.

It would be about as sensible. Somo peoplo think more of their own importance than of the cia.se or order they profess to represout. Probably the author of the Lee post resoiutions is some person who holds high rank in the G. A. R.

and would like to be callod colonel, and yet will talk about no rank in the G. A. R. Poor hum in nature is wsak. Lotus have fraternity, charity and loyalty.

Mio Didn't Mitrry llexasidcr, But Still He Claim ihc Property The caso of Mark Meyer against Morris Alexander camo up in the city court yesterday. Tho caso has heretofore boon published as it came up on tho various tuitions, aud tho proceedings of yosterday wero for tho purpose of restraining tho defendant from in any way interfering with tho property of tho plaintiff.

Meyer is a wholesale and rotail dealer iu moats, and besido having stores in New York and Wallabout market, ho owned one at 1,882 Fulton street According to his own story, told in answer to his attorney's ques tionii, ho took a threa years' lease of these premises in February, 1800. Shortly afterward ho employed tho defendant to act as manager of tho place on a salary of 1,1 per weok. The plaintiff claims tint Alexander failed to pay over ta him all tho money due from the receipts of tho store. Finally tho defon tiut was ousted from his place, but on ono occasion at least regained possession of the storo and hel that he had the right to remain thuro. Meyer brought suit to mako firm his title to the establishment and to restrain Alexander from interfering.

Alexander interposes a plea that tho store was given him in deference to a marriage engagement made by him with Mayer's sister. This relation was later broken off, bu' Alexander did not consider the gift of the property annulled. The hearing will be contm ued during tho day.

All the members of both societies, numbering some one hundred aud fifty, are working hard to make tho affair a success, and the way in which tho flowers and refreshments disappeared last night speaks well for the success of the undertaking. Tho festival is really a fair on a miniature scale. A flower bower stands in tho center of the lecture room.

It is tastefully decorated and is well stocked with June flowers. Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Good preside over its destinies. Opposite each corner of the bower aro tablos on which are exhibited pink, red, white and yollow ioscb.

They aro presided over respectively by the Misses Jennie Cartney, Emma Gill, Emma McKeechio and Emma Half. The Misses Belle Hagen and Ella Winter disponse lemonade to tho thirsty and Mrs. Warreu, Miss lloso Turner, Miss Pettiner, Mrs. Beacou, MrB. Van Marter and Mrs.

U. 0. THE AMATEUIt LEAGUE. Crescents and Stzitcn Inland Athletic Mia Yesterday' diamcs. Yesterday afternoon at Bay Kidgo was witnessed probably the finest gamo of base ball that any two teams of the amateur league have played this season.

In evory seuso of the word it was a brilliant contest, abounding in remarkable performances in tho field as well as at the bat. Tho Croscents had pitted against them the nine of tho Staton Island cricket club aud they camo across the bay with tho strongost aggregation of talent which they could gather together. Tho Crescents wero badly crippled by tho absence of Johnston and Stevenson, whose places had to bo lillod by drawing recruits from the second uino. Their Holections proved fortunate, for Crothers and Notman proved useful and each came out of tho struggle with a baso hit to his credit. The game was a battlo of tho pitchers, and it would bo hard to decide which twiBter should bo given tho palm.

Clare was woalt at the outset and throughout was a trifle wild. Although nono of tho six bases on balls ho allowed remlted in runs, yet he did not display the steadiness which is usually observed in his pitching. The islanders introduced Galligau, and uo to the sixth inning Fauss was tho only one of tho Crescents who waB able to fathom his eccentric delivery. This twirler, it will bo remembered, was taken along with Mutrio'u Now Yorkers last year ou their Southern trip. Although not a counter in tho professional ranks, ho could fool tho amateurs quite easily.

The gamo was full of excitement and capablo of calling forth moro than ordinary onthusiasm. For the first five innings it looked dark aud unpromising for tho Brooklyn men, while the cricketers hud secured four runs. Of course, tho spectators, who woro largoly Crescent sympathizers, felt disheartened, but they did not let thoir gloom aud dejection of spirits interfere with proper notico of sharp and phenomenal playing, whether the home team or tho Cricket club waa the performer. Clare made sevoral brilliant stops of rod hot liners, as did also Murphy. Brush gained praise for a difficult running backward catcli of Carmen's fly in tho sixth inn ing.

Arnold and Do Oarmendia, for the visitors, mado some surprising Btops. Landcn also won credit, and, although ho is charged with threo errors, they arc duo to his abominable, throwing aud not to his fielding. At first the Crescents put Fauss on first base, but he di not cover it well, so C. Murphy and ho changed places. This arrangement worked much better.

F. Murphy caught in his customary good form, but ho was unaccountably weak with tho stick. Tho cricketers scorod thoir first runs in tho third. Carr got his first on a force hit, C. Murphy's error gave Carmen a lifo aud IloGarmen dia followed up with a single and both Carmen and Carr crossed the plate.

Tho succeeding batsmen were easily vanquished and loQarmen dia was loft on second. In the fourth inning Galligan'i! hit, a baso on balls and a forco hit made another run. After DoGarmeudia aud Halsted had Btruck out in the fifth inning Arnold hit for a base and camo homo on Carter's ttvo baggor. Things were of a decided azure cast to tho Crescents about this time, aud a whitewash scorned to bo staring them in the face. But dospoiideuey was turned to joyfulness iu the sixth inning.

It was greatly due to Brush. Claro had gne out on a grounder to Arnold, Crothers and Notman had knocked out singlci and O'Flyn had reached first on I.andon's error. Ford forced out. With the bases full aud two mon out, Brush stopped np to tho plate. No one thought ho would do anything extraordinary, but there was a twinkle in his eye as he faced Pitcher Galligau and the latter saw what it meant when the bat switched around anil tho ball was seen coursing sky ward in thu direction of tho club house.

It landed nearly there, going over tho wire netting of the tennis courts and allowing Brush to trot the circuit of the bases, tying tho score. The teams were now oron iu run getting and everybody waa on the tiptoo of expectation. This was soon settled, for in tho next inning, aftur two had struck out, (Tare aecurcd first and second on Lan Ion's poor throw, which passed Hal stetl. Clare started for third and another wild throw allowed him to get there safely. Galligan's fumble of bunt permitted Clare to score.

Tlie Staten Islanilers tried hard to overcome this lead, but not one of them went beyond second alter the fifth inning. Tlie score: STAl'EN ISLAND C. C. 11. 1 ll.l'.O.A ii'EN r.

Tho class of '91 in tho Girls' high school celebrated its class day yostorday afternoon in tho pl'esenco of company of its friends that filled tho large hall at tho top of tho school building at the corner of Nostrand avenuo and Ilalsey street. Class day is dear to the schoolgirl heart in a way which even commencement day cannot equal, because on class day tho girls aro their own masters. They get np their own exorcises, carry them out in their own way and their teachers are only seen as thoy sit among tho other spectators in tho audience. The class president tho presiding officer, introduces tho speakers and conducts herself quite as if sho wero grown up and "running thing" out in tho big world, while her fellow officers sit around her with as much dignity as ago aud experience could show in similar positions. Tho girls of '01 boro their now honors yesterday gracefully and oasily, their programme win carried out without a hitch or a Haw anywhero and their president made neat little iiitro(jetory speeches for each essayist, quite as if sho had boon presidiug over spooch making banquet.

To begin with, tho hall was handsomely decorated with flowers in which green and white, tho class colors of '91, were prominent. There were groat bunches of marguerites set against a background of green upon tho Btage, reliovod lioro anil there by vases of jack roses. At 9 o'clock Misses Carson and Walsh, two of the members of the class, pla.vod a quick step and tho other class membors marched to seats resorvod for them at the front of the hall, whilo tho officers marched to their seats upon tho platform. Each girl woro a knot of green and wbito ribbon, tho class badge, and girls of other classes, their dresses brightened with flowers, acted as ushers and distributed programmes printed in the class green and white aud bearing the class motto, "Aude Saporo" Daro to bo wiso. The class officers who sat upon the stago woro Helen Barry, president; Charlotto M.

Holden, vice president; Grace A. Swallow, recording secretary; Marion Jardine, corresponding secretary, and Gertrude E. Holden, treasurer. 'I ho executive committee of the class wero Susie E. Carter, B.

Maude Cran dall, Anna M. Martin, Maggio G. Shatiahan, Estelle G. Van Diuo and Helen E. Warner; class marshals, Agnes J.

Cartnoy and Koso M. Wilbur. Miss Barry, tho class president, gracefully welcomed their guests, Principal Caivni Patterson and their teachers. Sho said that peoplo wero fond of saying that they would like to live their lives over again, but that not oven for tho sako of setting a better oxampla to tho juniors would tho class of '91 repeat the steps thuy had thus far taken. Thoy preferred the future and this not to escapo study, because they realized that thoir education was but begun.

Methods might change and tho school bells and class routine drop out of their lives, but that would not mean that they had come to an end of discipline or acquirement. Then followed a three part song, "Thou heaven blno aud bright," by Abt, snug with clear voices by the class. On each side of the stago hung large photographs of the coliseum aud tho forum in Rome, pictures which have been hung during the year. Two of the girls in the class took tlics i linildings as subjects for thoir essays, and they wero introduced by Miss Barry with appropriate allusions to the new pictures. Miss Duryea, who wrote about the coliseum, began by applying Cicero's "Every stone of Athens has a history" to tho coliseum and thou gave au account of tho construction and dedication of tho buildi tig and the bloodthirsty spectacles that have taken place it in.

She quoted Giboon's description and described tho ruin for herself as a tragedy in stone which, like the tragedies of and Shakspeare, teaches a noble lesson. Miss Duryea's essay was followed by a part song, "Hark to the Rolling Drum," by Bishop, sung by the class. Miss Do Pianquo delivered a well written essay on "Tho Forum," which, she said, was a seat of justice before Westminster abbey was begun and when savages roamed over Manhattan island. In it was promulgated lioman law, not a less legacy to tho world than Greek literature: there Cicoro and Mark Antony spoko and there Peter and Paul rejoiced in their bonds. But now the magnilicenco of tho Rome of those days had vanished and tho forum itself stood like tjic corpse of a giant, with no forco mighty enough to bury it.

The class eang "Ring on, ye bells," by Abt, and Miss Prall read au essay on "The Illustrations of Our Text Books." The paper was full of promise, showing a koeu observation, humor and considerable aptitude for literary expression which, if Mias Prall keeps on writing about subjects she understands and describing thiugs she has seen, ought to amount to something. Sho began with the primer of twenty years ago, reading in imitation of the childish voice some of its sentences, and explained what the picturoB which tho book contained meant to its little roadors and what fates they sullorod at the hands of restless boys, armed with pins and pencila or boxes of paints. Sho spoko of tho I'also idoas which oldor cliiidron obtained from the piotnrcs iu their toxt books, particularly thoir geographies, and alluded to the man who "has so long stood in tho front of thoir physiologios.all his nerves exposod to the weather, as a touching example of heroism and devotion." Then followed the humorous fcaturo of tho exercises. Miss Warner waB called to tho stage to presont each member of the class with some gift designated to hit off in a good humored way some foible or habit of the student for the enjoyment of her classmates. Tho keen laughter from the senior Boats showed that most of these hits told, while some of them were funny to the spectators who knew nothing about tho recipients.

Most of tho girls took the Joke gayly as it was meant, but an occasional pout or a frown showed that the shoe pinched unpleasantly for the moment. On Miss Prall of tho Latin class was conferred tho dogreo A. A. (authority on ablatives) printed ou a great placard. Miss Warner sai'd that tho claHS, as descendants of Eve, wero prone to ask tho wherofore of tiie why.

To a young woman whnso curiosity was supposed to bo specially pi ominont she gave a ring of kej's to unlock all the doors of knowledge. A girl whoso struggles with her examination papoi'B bad left very little of those documents was given a collection of sponges, knives and erasers. Two girls who havo smashed the record of Damon and Pythias for friendship were called up together and presented with a big printed sign reading "All and Ainsley." Miss Warner said the class was unusually blest in its representatives of tho feathered kingdom, aud bho called up its Swallow and two Parrots, presenting eacli of them with a peacock's feather. A girl who had been known to fall asleep on her desk was given a cobblestone, inscribed "Rest thoo on this mossy pillow." The girl who huggod the radiator and complained of the cold was given a huge fan, whilo for the one with a passion for opening windows upon tho backs of tiio neclis of her fellow students there was a cui'tain pole hung with white and green ribbons and a thermometer. Thu girl to whom compositions are a torment got a box of composition powders with good wishes for her literary success.

For tho girl given to sketching her classmates' laces on tho margins of her toxt books there was au eraser, aud the girl who kept her eye on the floor looking for pins revived a paper ot thoso useful implements. On Miss Sutton, as the lopresentative of the juniors, was bestowed the class hatchet, dug up from its burial for this purpose, while for the unknown few who shall fail to pass their final examinations and to receive diplomas Miss Warner suggested a spade to dig in the field of knowledge more vigorously next year. Miss Conley.a member of tha class, sang "When the lights are low," by Lane, atic! for au encore, "Over the stile," a pretty ballad. Miss Swaliow read a graceful and entertaining class history purporting to have been compiled by tho aid of a clas committee. Tho class zoologist divided hor classmates into vertebrates aud invertebrates and emphasized tho presence of the ruminating order anions the former.

Tin phys ical geographer failed to account for the cyclones aud eruptions of class temper aud the astronomer to distinguish between the orbits of the comets and the planots, though she was familiar with the class stars. Miss Swallow concluded thus: What wonder that miff, having foutrht and conquered on so many we hold a triumph? Are we not veteran warriors, privileged to cast aside our armur? Fall in line, comrades. Form a grand procession. What noble caotiv grace the proud pageant, flighty Cie ar himself walks with mangled lioart behind the gallant di rision of room 3, iiomo of whom arc gaily cantering alontf ou ponies. Cicero, too, weakened and dismembered, looks as though ho would gladly follow the advice he so often gave to Catiline and llee the city, but ho is held by stout chains to tlis chariot of the Latin class.

Virgil, Willi bruised ft'ct, walks submissively under a Haunting banner bearing tho inscription as it is Translated." Euclid is soon securely imprisoned in a tangle of his own lines. Ail along pennons arc lluttering and tlags arc being cnthtitiiastically waved. Pegasus, harnessed aud haltered, lame and disconsolato, meanly hobbles along. Tho foolscap on his head announces that The world may bo cold and hollow and fickle, But, livo in it as long as she may, A school girl, though wrinkled and gray, Will revel in spieo cake, cream puff and picklo. Tho muses follow sadly, carrying another standard, which gives to tho breeze this semi mont, drawn from tho tree day experience of a previous class: "If at first it don't come up, plant, plant another." The entire cavalcade is iu holiday attire, for this iB a gala day.

Tho long lino is sweeping by, a glorious company, surely as Jubilant a lino as ever passed beneath tho arch of Titus in tho ancient days of Rome. The exercises closed with the singing of the class song, words by Miss Carter and music by Walsh, as follows: A simple aong, Vet sweot and strong; This joyous lay we heard First caroled by a bird. Parting notos, now richly ring! A farewell wo together sing; Then with a low and lingering strain, Complete and clasp our golden chain. This lay, wild wave, To glad birds gave: From rippling, silver stream, Tho billow gained tho therao. This themo.

Juno i. A Valparaiso cablo says that President Balma. ceda iB about to mako another effort to bring Iquiquo to surrender. Tho rebel goneral Urrti. tia, the only Chilian general who proved unfaithful to tho established government, is scouring provinces held by tho rebels for recruits, and in many instances men have boon shot for refusing to onlist.

Tho robels are attempting to organize an army with a viow to a forlorn hopo march on Sautiago. Balmaceda, howover, has within immediate call for defenso of the capital a forco of about twenty five thousand mon, including twelve hundred cavalry and til batlcrica of field artillery. Tho Balmaceda government has promised compensation for foreign vessels injured during tho recent attack on tho Magallanes, an insurgent warship, at Chanaral harbor. A Berlin dispatch says that tho Prussian min ister of justice, Dr. Schelling, is interested in tho new American method of execution by electricity and has caused instructions to bo sent for full reports as to its methods of working, so far as obtainable.

Many Prussians aro inclined to con. sider decapitation as too barbaroiiB a mothod of oxecution, and the consequence of this Dominion ia faTorablo to the criminal classes. Reindol, tho headsman, has been making personal inquiries on the subject of electric death, whethor for oflicial reanona or to satisfy his own curiosity ia not known. The conservative feeling in Germany is very Btrong, and thero is little probabil. ity of such a seroiib change in tho criminal laws as to do away with tha existing fo rm of tho death penalty.

Present indications loavo hardly a hope that Duncan, the American who murderously assaulted his wifo iu Wales, will escapo a chargo of murder. An interesting statement not yet presented iu evidonco is made by the quarryman who came upon tho couple and provonted the completion of the deadly work. It is that, whilo pursuing another way home, ho felt a mysterious impulse to take a secluded and unfrequented path Instead of the one which he ordinarily followed. This impulso be is utterly unable to explain, but it was so powerful that he did not resist it, aud when he started on the path ho at onco fell easier in his mind. But for this singular prompt, ing nobody would havo seon Duncan and bis wifo ou tho terrible occasion.

A Vienna dispatch says that a very sevoro encounter occurred yesterday at Prague, between a party of Germans from Vienna and a group of Czechs. The Viennese wont to boo tho exhibition, but were insulted at tho entrance and attacked in tho exhibitiou building by ardent young Czechs, who said that Germans had no business thero. This the lalter resented and a fight followed, without dangerous results, although sevoral of both parties claimed to havo boen strionsly hurt in the affray. The garrisons in Bohomia aro boing strengthened with a view to the possibility of trouble with young Czechs. Advices from Capo Town state that Gungun hama, the king of the country about which tho English and Portuguese havo beou disputing, has invited the British Month Africa company to his kraal, to establish a permanent post.

The company will probably accept the invitation, uo mattor what agreement is arrived at between England and Portugal. A Home dispatch says that the government proposes an investigation into tho causes of the declino of Italy's foreign trade, which decreased about 000 during five years including 1800. The committee will also mako inquirici regarding new outlets for Italy's foreign trade. The bank of England to day reduced its rate of discount from 5 to 4 per cent. TWO ItECOltDS UUOKEX.

STATU SfSDAY SlJH IOl, Tho state Sunday school convention will be hell at Saratoga on lhc Oth and 10th of Juno. Tht Sunday school association of Queens oonuly will bo represented by Isaao 0. Uendrickson and lira. IlHllrickijOn ftml Mvm. Tlnvina: mm Parade of Eastern District Sunday School Children.

rrelty Scenes on Itodford Atoiiho This Afternoon It Was tho Thirlioth Anni. Tersary Blarch and Was ItoTieyod by Mayor Chapia. Many an anxious pair of eyes in tho eastern district peered through the blinds heavenward iu tho direction of the east at an early hour this morning and were gladdened at seeing the Bun rising in a cloudless sky. It tho first time probably in a decade that Old Sol mado his appearance in such a cheerful way on tho morning of tho anniversary of tho Sunday school association of that section. In former yoata dispatches passod back and forth between tho chief of the weather bureau aud the president of the association, aud tho result determined whether the parado should take place or not.

But no such doubt and uncertainty prevailed to day aud teachers, scholars and parent's made their arranegemonts for the walk with perfect contideneo iu tho weather. The result, consequently, was that the affair eclipsed any of its predecessors, the children with their banners walking along Bedford avenue from tho fountain to Hushing avenuo and back with proud stop and without tho slightest fear of rain. Tho crowds of spectators, too, who blocked the sidewalks along the whole line of march, was longer than in former yeara. In the morning workmon wore busy erecting the grand stand at the fountain and tho reviewing stand in front of it, where Mayor Chaoin and President William Cartwright reviewed the array of little onea, 20,000 strong. While tho work was in progress Mr.

Cartwright and the veteran ex president of the association, Thomas C. Stokes, who was chief aid, were around occasionally, seeing that its construction was in accordance with their ideas. Tho decorators wero busy along the avenue, for nearly all tho dwullinys and three churches on the lino of march wero beautifully tsmbol lished with Hags and streamers. In tho Sunday school halls tho womon were preparing for the inarch anil the entertainment of the children with homes, cream and calio on their roturu. All the Sunday school halla wero decorated and made as attractive as possible in accordance with the nature of the festival.

But the busiest scones wero in the homes whero the fond and proud mothers were preparing their darlings for tho parade. They naturally wished thorn to make as good an appearance as possible. With so much elaboration and oare tho result could not have boon otherwise than what it was a grand success. The public school in that section were closed, so the day altogether was a gala one. There was one new feature, and nno which pleased spectator and scholar alike, and that was the ringing of the now chimes of Christ r.

E. church on Bedford avenue, noar tho fountain. A selection of anniversary hymns was played upon them during the parade. At 1 o'clock the streets were alive with the prottily dressed children aud their toachors on the way to their respective churchea, and an hour later tho exercises commenced. Brief addresses wero mado by tho pastors aud superin teudents.

Tho schools of the various divisions left the division headquarters in time to be in position for tho march at 3:1.1 o'clock. Tho instructions to marshals of divisions on this point were Tory specific and all were requested to avoid Bedford avenue as much as possible. They did so for they well know that Veteran Stokes moans business all tho time. At 3 o'clock most of til 3 divisions wora in position. As they marched to their respective places, bands playing, the see no was a pretty and inspiriting one.

The formation was on streets intersecting Bedford avenue, between Broadway and Taylor street, commencing in numerical order at Broadway. Grand Marshal Cartwright had his headquarters at Eecount's store, 411 Bedford avenue, where Special Aid Thomas C. KtokeB received the thrco young men from each division who were appointed a special aids to the grand marshal. Bedford avenue at this timo presented a holiday appearance. Flags fluttered in the breeze from the windows and roofs of all the buildings', while tho whole fronts of ou'o half of them were decorated.

From ten to fifteen thousand peoplo lined the sidewalks, all dressed in their best clothes. The army, 20, 000 strong, were on the tide street. with the head resting on Bedford avenue, while Christ church chimes rang out melodiously. The polico arrangements wero admirable. The sidewalks from the fountain to Koduey street were roped in, so the oflicurs found it less dillicult to keep tho crowd back.

Captain Gorman of the Leo avenue station was in charge and men from several prociucts were there. Tho grandstand was filled with guests. It was in charge of Q. W. More, T.

A. Coitun aud 0. W. Van Campeu, jr. At o'clock promptly the order for the start was given.

A platoon of polico was at the head and tno association banner followed. Grand Marshal Cartwright and Veteran Stokes came next between guides, followed by ex presidents of the association aud deputy grand marshals, and tho throe guides immediately ahead of the army. The divisions entered the moving column four abreast between the guides aud near the curbs. The first and second divisions led on oppositesides of the street. Tho first division, com prising the Ainslie street Presbyterian school alone, numbered 1)00, and iu the second division were the Central Baptist and Faith mission schools, 02.1 strong.

There was a band of music at tho head of each division, with the division standards, marshals, pastors of ohurches, superintendents, assistant superintendents of the schools and school banners. The divisions and tho schools comprising tlicm, as well as the marshals aud committees iu charge of them aud tho churches in which tho exercises were held, were published in yesterday's Baulk. As the army iii. ived along, each division swinging into line without tho least confusion, the sight was a pretty one. The scholars were all handsomely attired in new finery and they felt correspondingly proud.

They inarched with light step along the avenue, tile bands playing and the thousands of small il.igs which tin children carried lluttering in the breeze. It was in this sense a patriotic army, for nearly ali the little soldiers carried flags. As pastord were recognized they met wi.h The appearance of the tchools in tho lino attracted ci itical attention from those interested in Suu i.ay school work c. pecially. St.

John's M. E. school, which always commands attention, mudc, as usual, a line appearance and was preceded by a splendid band of music. The Central M. 11.

The column marched along the avenue two ctious, on corresponding sides of the struct, between the guides, tho fiint Mid second divisions loading. At iTush avenue the divisions countermarched to the right and left around the guides to the center of the avuiiue, aud marched up tight abreast.

The army filled the street from curb to curb, for after countermarching there vvre sixteen fiies walkiug in opposite directions. There were the usual delays in the march.

It Xilii Now for Honey for a New House. The Trrentj flrst Birthday or tha Insti (ution on Dean Street Appropriately Celebrated. Many mon and women attondod tho annual reception of the nursery jester, day afternoon and evening and congratulated the managers thereof on tho twenty first birthday of the institution and 'the fact that it wis at last out of debt.

Tho institution has had severe financial strngglos, as is told in tho appended report of Mrj. W. A. Arnold, secretary of the board of managers: It is the custom in merry old England to call togother the tenantry that they may celebrate the coining of age of the first born heir. Aro have invited, not tenantry, but our friends tonight to oelobrato the twenty first anniversary, the coming of age of our child, the Sheltering Arms nursery.

Many of thoBO years were filled with darkness, and the sad history of many a homeless child, and sorrowing, deserted mothers. But there is "nothing like success to make success," aud so. through the loving morey of the Divine Jlaster the nursery is lightened of its hopeless outlook it had at its birth. This charity, which to many is unknown, was begun by the industrial aid society of St Peter's church as a day nursery on April 13, 1S70, on onofldor at 70 Nevins street. After two months tho chnrchos of St.

Emmanuel, Graco, Christ and the Church or the Holy Trinity united with St. Peter's church in carrying on tho work, which increased so rapidly that it was decided to take children not oldor than ail years to board by the week, mouth or year, and for larger accommodations the nursery was moved to 4oo Warren street, whero tiio household consisted of a matron, five children and one nurse, but during the two years 550 children were cared for through the day while their mothers wero out at work. During the third year of its existence another move was made to 524 Atlantic avenue, corner of Third, and it was hero that it was formally named tho Sheltering Arms nursery. The rent of this hoiuu was given by a kind friend for three years, when, through business troubles, it passed into other hands, and was used for other Eurposes, and so another move was made to liy exington avenue, where after two years wo went to our present home, 157 Dean street, whore till its eleventh year the life of tho nursery was so dark that it was only the oourago and steadfast faith of women, whose lovo for little children is always so strong, that tho doors, instead of being closed, as advised, wero, through this lovo and faith, kept open, and on this, the twenty first year, but few light clouds remain, and it has a firm foundation. "Words live after lips aro so does the good practical advico and work of all those who began this charity aud who aro now in the "Homo of God's elect." Of the original number but six aro now on the board of managers.

During the past year SO women, mothers of the children, have been admitted as nurses, their nationality being American, German, Swedish, English, Swiss, Irish; 150 children have boon cared for, either for a few weeks or mauy mouths, and 204 applications mado which could not be admitted. During the twenty one years 3,850 children havo been inmates of tho nursery, aud the average number per month has been 08. Wo enter upon thi year with our own home and no debt aud with hoarts full of gratitude toward tho peoplo of this groat city who havo no generously helped us to this success, lint our work must not slacken, and as "experience worketh hope," so we kuow wo shall still be helped to build a larger house, either near tho park, by the se, or, still bettor, in the country, whero we can have more hospital appliances, moro air, larger grounds and room for tho neediest of the needy, the most helpless of the helpless. In these days of contesting wills aud all other propertics would it not bo better for thoso to whom tho Lord has lent so much with which to do His work to see how it is used, than to leave it for othors to manage, and who may forget that "it is moro blessed to give than to receive" "Words spoken in season aro like apples of gold on plates of silver," but deeds aro bettor. Froui 2 until o'clock yesterday tho sixty eight little ones, none over the age of 7, wero entertained with music, singing and recitations, and iu turn did much entertaining themselves.

Tho house mother, Mrs. Hannah Mackay, was the recipiont of many congratulations ou the tidy appearanco and bright baby accomplishments of tho childron. The officers of tho institution aro Mrs. Samuel A. Wood, president; Mrs.

Chester 13. Lawrence, vice president; Mrs. George E. Hyatt, secretary, aud Mrs. Edward A.
