A WILD BULL CHASE,
Eight Killed and One Precipitnted Three
Hundred Feet Down nm Embankment.


Hundred Feet Down Embankment.
Quite an exciting time was created throughout
Hudson City yesterday, owing to the fact that
drove Of wild bulls had got loose and were dashng
through the streets at fearful rate. running down
everything they came in contact With and injuring
several persons. IL seems that they had been
brought on from Texas. and by some means nine OF
them got out OF the cattle yard and dashed up
towards the upper portion OF the city. they first
upset milk wagon nearly killing the driver; they
then Knocked DOWN several horses, making a dead
drive az every wagon that came along. Three or
four dashed up PalIsade avenue, while the others
took Clinton and Montgomery avenues. Qulre
number OF persons were Knocked down. little girl
named Harriet Scnelllng was badly injured by being
trampled upon. One OF them, in his wild career,
jumped over the side OF the hill near
Warren street, ana was preciptated three hundred
feet below on the rocks and instantly killed.
Several men were ordered out by the owner, armed
with guns and pistols and told to shoot them down.
For several hours they pursued them up one street
and down another, and after some four hours hard
tramplng they succeeded In despatchlng them all.
Two they chased clear up IN West H0ooken. A gen.
tleman named Seyer. residing on HUDSON avenue,
came very near being shot, one OF the balls that
aimed at bull near his house passed through his
nat. 1t was surprising that no one was fatally
injured.

LIE HISTORY OF MUSIC.

Lecture by Professor Fred LoUis Ritter.
At the request OF many friends Professor Fred
Louis Ritter was induced to give publicly thar series
OF lectures on the history OF music which he dely
cred with so much applause in Vassar College. The
first OF these discourses was delivered at Webers
Rooms Filth avenue on November 0, and
treated OF the invention OF harmony and folksong
from the Christian era to the latter part Of the four
teenth century. The second lecture, which was
delivered last evening in the same beautiful rooms,
took up the subject from that date carrying it on
through the great epoch OF Catholc church music,
through the early Flemish and subsequent French
composers down 10 the death OF PdesIrlna In 1885,.
In remarkably eloquent and learned address he
dwelt on the Invention OF coun'erpoinJ and its
importance IN composition 10 that science IL was
essential and 1t might be considered the active
principle in muSicai composition. The Old church
composers comprenended the true nature OF poly

thought which gave lie and tone TO the endless vari
atoms Of harmony, beng, as 1t were, the original
germ OF every musical plant. II this were wanting
IN charm, then the composition would all TO please,
however uXuriant the Imagination or melooious the
Invention. he then spoke OF CANON showing that
originally 1t was Identical with what Is now under

the various parts.

France from DufOy down 10 Faestrina. He spoke
in the highest terms OF Oppecsuam, Chaucquin des

smiles from the numerous ladies among the audi

themes OF the masses being generally taken from
some popular song OF the period, OF which 1t nvar-
Rnly bore the name. Thus some famous masses are
known TO musical historians as .'lhe knight in
