The Boston Ponce Jubilee.
Burronns. Lumen.
Boston will never cease to be a wonder
and a mystery to the stranger. Its intricate
street system and its “past finding out”
courts and alleys, render it the champion
city of tho’world, where the visitor inevita-
bly loses all ideas of. locality or compass
points, on a strictly main law diet. The
calm and stolid composure of her. business
men, who deliberately close their stores and
workshops, daily, at 2 p. m., to attend the
great Jubilee, at,five dollars per admission,
is a marvel to all the world outside the hub:
The easy and entirely assured manner her -
most genteel ladies step to the innumerable
street cherry stands and purchase cherries by
,the quart, and then vigorously devour them,
is wonderful to behold, and even more te‘rri4
ble to contemplate. It has bothered our
powers of comparison to determine which
has been the greatest, the wonderful Jubilee
with its twenty thousand singers, or the con-
sumption of cherries, a paper bag of which
stimulating fruit was to be seen in the hand
of nearly all théiemale portion of Boston'-
pedestrians. ' ~
‘ While no account of Boston and the
p Jubilee would be complete without a refer-
ence to the epidemical appetite for cherries,
it is of the former we must write. Suffice it
then to say that the wonderfnl affair, where
mlfsic is‘swelled to the uttermost propor-.
tions, by the genius of Prof: P. S. Gilmore,
is within .what is called a coliseum on the
back b'sy or filled lands skirting the suburbs
of Boston on the lines of the Boston & Prov-
idence and Boston a; Albany railroads.
The enclosure comprises a lot of. eight
acres, and- the building covers about five
acres of this area, so that the reader has only
to fix in his mind’s eye the largest church he
_ever saw and then multiply that by twenty-
five to get an idea of the building. It seats
its 20,000 chorus and orchestra and its 30,-
000 auditory comfortably, with vestibule
space enough for ten thousand mprc on a
pinch. Thebnilding itself is vast, colossal
and worth a trip to Boston to see. It is
needless to add that it is the “biggest” thing
in the world, as is everything else about the
J ubilec. The structure is quite ornamental
in its architecture, and the best ventilated
and easiest of entrance and exit of anything
in the way of a public enclosure we ever.
saw. , It is said to have cost about $300,000,
although of the most temporary character,
and to have used up some half dozen, lum-
ber yards. There is a gallery running round
the entire edifice, and on the front end the
20,000=nrusieians and singers, with the great
organ, occupying full one~third of the in-
terior space. This, too, was the must dense-
ly packed portion of the building, and there
could have been very 'little exaggeration
in putting. the number at 20,000. ~ '
The opening .. was on Monday, and. the
most notable'thing the singing of the Bomb
ogy in Old Hundred by all the artists and
the audience. ~ ‘
On Tuesday the crowd had increased, and
the events of the day were the appearance of
Queen Victoria'flnglish band of eighty
performers and their most quusite playing;
the sing of Mad. Leutncr, which, for com-
pass and sweetness or vocalization, surpass-
ed any efi‘ort ever witnessed onsbis globe
' before. The festival cloaed with “From
Greeland’s Icy mountains,” by chorus, or-
chestra and audience.’ ” * ’-

were much better rendered. Strauss, the
great German composer, wasa lion, this day.
Mad.'Leutner sang and was again and again
encored with wildest enthusiasm. Franz
Bendel, the great pianist,atternpted to show
011’ a miserable instrument of somebody’s
make evidently anxious to advertise his
wares. The piano was .the only failure of
,the week, and either from defect of the par-
ticular instrument, or because that Sort of
music is “too thin,” as the boys say, we
know not, but it was a miserable farce to
compel any good performer to repeat the as
saults upon it"after the first trial. We con~
lecture that smart builder of pianos has
awakened prejudices against his inatruments
in the minds of not less than forty thousand
”music loving people he will never be able to
eradicate.
The misery of all, over the piano, was
soon forgotten in the appearance of Em-
peror William’s German band, who came
marching into position with the order and
precision of army veterans, as they all are.
Their performances at once raised the ques-
tion of comparison with the London Band
of the day. before. There was: much differ-
ence of opinion among the music critics, but
among the commonality of the audience the
German’s seemed to bear the palm of popu-
lar favor. It may have been only because
they played (not, where both had played so
excellently well. The day closed with grand
old “Hamburg," “Kingdoms and Thrones to
God Belong," &c., by, performers and
audience. ‘ ‘
Thursday there were full 30,000 people and
not less than 18,000 to 20,000 performers,-
Madame Rudensdorfl' did well in part lst,
but fell far behind: the popular Leutner in '
popular favor. Strauss led in one of his
finest compositions, when part 2d opened
' with an overture, followed by the “Marseil-
lsise” by the national band of the French
Republic. Here all comparisons ceased and
the enthusiastic Frenchmen were awarded
the palm as chiefcst and. best among the
band players of the world.‘ The whole su-
dience 'rose, as if by magic impulse, and
joined in the grand and soul-inspiring chorus
of the French National Hymn. The. effect
‘ K was thrilling—immense, utterly indescriba-
ble. And when the dapper players struck
. Star Spangled Banner, in answer to the wild
encore, the audience seemed swayed as if by
a whirlwind. Hail Columbia and Yankee
Doodle were success ‘ 1y given, when the
'vast multitude ,bnrst‘ orth in- a wild. and
deafening sheenwhile tens’ of thousands of
white kerohiefs whirled through the air and
hats and fans Were tossed aloft in perfect
delirium of . gay. T Mad. Leutner again
calmedand fascinated the noisy crowd, and
the day closed with Dr. Mason’s hymn,
“Watchman tell us of the N ight,” the audi-
ence joining with vigorous voice and will. '
- Friday and Saturday had its varying nov—
cities, but same “lions” and same general
outline of programme. Keyes’ American
hymn, Star Spangled Banner, finely sung
by Mrs. West, with loudest possible accom-
paniments, the German band in on "overtime,
and Julia Ward Howds Battle Hymn, to
the tune of John Brown, words sung by 150
' darkies, andchorus by everybody, were the
g
- immense things of Saturday, .
To us, despite the complex power and
volume of all the music, the vast audience of
fifty thousand well-dressed, ' well-behaved,
culturedpeople, was the most absorbing and
the most wonderful thing of'all the Jubilee
There’s nothing so eloquent, nothing so awe-
inspiring‘and nothing so grandly, sublimely,
interesting“ such avast assemblage of our,
,0 'Ja' humanity. Music and art were all
5,, .'. d‘oate-to it in our contemplation.
, The :2 :ityipossible arrangements were in
9.15.;- tbr'? order, for safety, for comfort and
r... highest" enjoyment. The press, which
h...- ;... representatives from all parts of the ,
world, were capecisllyfa'vored, and to Prof.
Gilmore and his aids we tender our grateful
sense of obligation for 'our share in witness-
to see again. -

Fairs and Festivals. .
The Fair held by the young ladies of the
Mayflower Zenana Mission Band. at Lock-
wood’s Hall, last Tuesday and Wednesday
even'n l ,,,......._..
snitch Hit Enisfily‘iifidds'gd‘ehddifion to the
treasury of the Band. The tables were well
supplied with fancy articles worked by fair
hands, and many an article was disposed of
to good advantage by the aid of bright eyes
and winning smiles. The refreshments
were served at small tables by young
misses, and gave such good satisfaction that
customers were prone to call often for the
sake of being so handsomely waited upon.
The “ Art Gallery” was a leading feature,
containing a large variety of choice speci-
mens, including works by the old masters as
well as gems of the New School—all exhib-
ited for the benefit of the heathen of today.
The Phoenix Hose boys had a large crowd
in attendance at their Festival last week
Monday evening. Foreman ' Marvin was
formally presented with a large boqdet' ,by
made happy by the presentation of a frost-
ed cake.. The floor was filled with- merry
dancers until a . late hour. John Starr’s
band of bro there furnished music.
Festivals and Fairs have been so plenty
here this season, and money'so scarce, that
many of the entertainments have failed to
meet with their usual successlin drawing out _
the people. , The ladies of the Second Meth-
odist church never fail. and their entertain-
ment at the Opera House was well patron-
ized both on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings. The exercises were under the
direction of Dr. Hill, who has engineered
so many festivals and who knows just how
to do it. Prof. Dunning, whilom leader ot
the famous Alleghanian Vocalists assumed
charge of the music on this occasion, and
some fine singing was the result. The dia-
good, while 'the 'recitations of a‘ young
daughter of Rev. Mr. Pegg‘s were generally
admired and worthy of special mention.
Strawberries, “I scream,” cake, candies, ac,
were in demand as usual. ' ~
The Festival at the Winnipauk chapel,
last Thursday evening,.was not .as largely
attended as on some previous occasions, but
still the ladies succeeded in clearing ex-
penses and securing a comfortable surplus.
The Festival of the New Methodist So-
ciety in East ., Avenue was largely attended
last week Thursday and Friday evenings.
Ths,exercises.comprising singing, declama-
time, etc., by the children, were held in the
church building, after which all hands ad-
journed to the “big tent” which had been
erected near by, and where strawberries and
cream were served and a social re-union
“enjOyed. Interest was added to the occasion
and dimes to the treasury, by voting on a
cake to be presented to the one receiving
most ballots. The winner was the lady who
presides at the instrument. ' - '
The St. Mary’s Fair and Festival opened
last Thursday, and‘made out so well during
the week that the entertainment is to be con-
tinued several evenings longer.
. The'Sabbnth School of the First M. E.
church will hold a Strawberry Festival in
Military Hall, Ely’s Block, 011' Wednesday

for all, and a good time may reasonably be
expected.

Another terrible railroad accident hap-

Well, we’ve: got through ourimp‘ortant
and exciting city election. No politice or
religion were allowed to get mixed up in it,
and so we carried the “ reglar” ticket with
case, although the enemy attempted to break
in upon our programme. You see, our May-
or, besides being a “Greeley man,” and
“knowing about farming,” enough to be
President of {the Pumpkin Society, is so_
proverbially economical that we vote for
him to save taxes, as well as for glory.
There isn’t going to be any public money
spent for nonsense under his regime, for be-
ing the largest tax payer,,why, “ he knows
how it is himself,”I guess. Besides, you
don’t catch our Mayor letting the people’s
money get squandered by cutting a sewer
up hill and wrong-end-first-ards, like a cer-
tain great Borough we know 'of, not two
miles from our city. How’s that for a dig
into your sore ribs, ch? But more about
our election. We,tbink upon the whole,
‘we’ve got a pretty good ticket. Take it tail
and head, and you can’t, beat it much “up
to the Bridge.” There’s but one “ sorrow-
strife.” The “Doctor” and the “police” are
unhappy. . The Doctor is ready and anxious
to swear that sells water in his whis-
key by the Mayor’s permission, and the po-
liceman knows all about it,‘ or words to that
effect. Police isn’t going to stand it, and
won’t stand it, nnd that’s more; and so he,
in a poster, deliberately and officially, and
by order of the Mayor it is supposed, denies
that he is any such man, or ever saw, or
heard, or knew anything whatever i It's an
awful fight, and mercy knows where it is to
end, and the thermometer 92 ‘-. and the beer

'we keep temperance out of our elections just
as easy as politics and religion, especially
when we must vote in the hottest part of

Our street filling is going on, or up, I
should say. It's the biggest thing we’ve yet

Our 'new Bank front is being painted.
When done the iron will look so near like
stone that youwon’t‘know or want any dif-
ference. The Mayor’s fine new block is
having its front nicely fixed up. *The French
plate glass '0th are in, andethe lfoor will be
in too, very soon. We saw a thirsty look-
ing old “beat” looking wistfully down those
inviting “basements,” but he'didn3t go down
-—everythi_ng was so dry. The new Insu-
rance Building and Lounsbury Brothers, is
getting its dressing out for summer wear.
The tint is beautiful and w‘cll becomes an
iron front. This is thehncst structure in
our city and We feel a pride in seeing it thus
decorated. Lounsbnry has got a North riv-
er pilot to conduct the water down that
crooked water leader, which so disfigures
the front. Some have supposed it was a tu;
bular conductor to fool the lightning should
it ever strike the building as it did the ad-
joining block last summer. But it isn’t; it
