New York Outvieing Boston in it's Pa

i, is seldom that Boston is allowed by Go
than to make any serious attempt at rivalry.
In all matters, even in those which appertain
to the brighter side OF life, its amusements and
pastimcs, New York shoddy will not be sur
passed by the scli-styled Boston aristocracy.
A few weeks since the latter became insane
over Count Joannes and the Muretzek Opera
troupe The former they voted q nuisance,
the latter godsend; aud just as much as they
were severe upon the former, mushroom
noble, Just so ardent were they in their admi-
ration ard patronage of the latter. The Boston
journals teemed with accounts of their operate
season, which was they asserted, more bril-
liant than could be witnessed in any other city
in this country-all the taste and fashion cen
tering, of course, at the Club" The frequency
and boldness OF these assertions quite subdued
US, and Boston was allowed her full swing OF
sei-gratulation aud conceit.
a change has come over the spirit OF our
dream. Maretzck has returned here, and we
once more have al operate season so brilliant
so fashionable, as to cast into utter insign-
cameo the great deeds OF the Bostonians in that
cent to;lettes, such show of diamonds aud
laces made in our musical temples never
were there such immense audiences assembled
within its walls: never were seen such confu-
sion Of vehicles in its vicinity, such crowdng,
pushing and getting entangled as the people
issued from It's portals. The house is larger
than The Academy Of Music in Boston, the
audiences are larger, the display greater-in
short the whole affair quite eclipses the short
and efferyeseent attempt of the modern Athens
at getting mp a sensation on opera.
II seems 10 be a matter OF no great concern
to our public what opera is given. That there
is an opera is sufficient induccmcnt 10 crowd

PRorosED ADDITION TO THE PARK.-We see
that a movement is on foot to have Manhattan
square added to the Park, SO a. to have it i'm
medately laid out and improved. The square
lies along the west side OF tie Park. extending
from seventy-seycnth to Eighty-seventh streets,
ard westwardly to the Ninth avenue. II would
form, MS will be seen by glance at the map,
very acceptable addition TO the Park, the more
DO as il would cost The city nothing beyond tie
expense Of Improvement. AT present this open
area is a nuisance to the neighborhood owing
TO The accumulation Of filth and the stagnont
pools with which II is covered. As 1t can never
DC legally allooated to any other purpose than
park, il would seem as II the proposed DISPOSE
ton OF ii would be an advantage TO all con-
ccrned The views Of tie property holders
who are interested should, however, be clearly
sscertained before steps are taken to have the
matter brought before the Legislature. We
are dislrustful OF all schemes Of this kind, I'M
less il be made evident that il is the public in
terest, and not that OF spectators, which is at
tho bottom OF them.
