THE GREAT EAR.SPLITTING FES.
TIVAL
Preparations for the Celebration of the Bee
thOven Centennial.

th0ven Centennial.
There is active work doing at the exhibition build
ing on the Third avenue. An acre and a half Of
seats have been put down; small army of men is
at work at the big organ, and battalion OF carpen
ters are hammering away at the platform. AS the
day for the celebration draws nigh, it begins to be
generally believed by the skeptical citizens Of New
York that the affair is no joke The sale Of tickets
has probably done more than anything else to dis
sipate all fears of the thing being a grand
illusion. DR.. Pech and Max Maretzek and
Mr.. Williams, who hourishing batons these
warm nights over huge choruses, have a realizing
sense of the work. The dozen or two secretaries
and reporters who are sweltering over correspon-
dence and contracts at the Union square office
firmly believe in the tangbility OF the enterprise.
The tremendous concourse of artists who have re
ceived part OF their money In advance never had
any doubts. They at least have an abiding faith in
the future. Madame Parepa-Rosa is now in town and
ready to fill the building on the Third avenue, or
any larger one that may be built with her festival
voice. This afternoon grand operatic rehearsal
takes place at Steinway Hail. Yesterday bonus
were given at the Mayors office for the permit to
use artillery in the "Star Spangled Banner on Mon.
day. On Monday Gilmore will arrive with his band
telegram was received last evening at the Lotos
Club from him, Of a star-spanged character, in
which he spoke confidently OF bringing half OF Bos-
ton with him. On Saturday the organ will be ready
and grand rehearsal of the chorus will take place
in the building. Arrangements have been made
with most OF the railroads leading into the city to
issue half fare tickets. The officers of the assoca-
ton were at work in Union Square till ~ O'Clock
last nightly y. World today.

her to pass through. For some reason the
steamer, instead of keeping in her course,
drifted to the eastward, striking the pier i'm
mediatey north of the draw, destroying not less
than $50 feet of the bringe all of which will
have to be rebuilt. The steamer was wedged
into the broken timbers, and considerably
damaged about the bow and larboard side.
This is the third accident to this portion of the
bridge by vessels running into it within the past
month. Travel will necessarily be suspended
until repairs are made, which cannot be done
until an appropriation is made by Congress, as
General Michler has no funds on hand for the
purpose. We trust Congress will take speedy
action in the matter. Some law should be
passed guarding against accidents by the care
iessness of captains of vessels.

thursday, June 3, 1870.
Extreme apathy prevails in financial quarters
and much excitement among the bank interests
pending the uncertainty as to the final settle
ment of the funding question. The gold market
is particularly sensitive, and fluctuates up and
down with its chances of rejection or adoption.
According to the latest advices from Washing
ton its introduction is postponed for a week, so
that we are doomed to further suspense and
doubt, with all the evil influences inseparable
from them, for another week at least. There is
really very little reason to believe that this or
any other funding bill will be adopted this ses-
sion, and it Is quite as we'll under the circum-
stances.
The rates for loans are about the same as
heretofore quoted, and the market is decidedly
dull.
Gold is quiet but strong, with slight upward
tendency. Sales between 11315 and 1882 OPEN
ing anc closing at the former.
Government stocks were rather more active
and advanced in sympathy with gold about u
per cent.
The stock market was dull, and prices unset
tied. City loans were steady, with sales of the
new 6s at 1904.
Reading Railroad was fairly active; sales
ranged from 53s4 G53 S1-100. Pennsylvania sold
at 5794 Camden and Amboy at 1193l; Oil Creek
and Allegheny at 4619 @465s; Norristown at S5;
Minehill at 541a; and Philadelphia and Erie
at 297S.
Canal stocks were quiet; sales of Lehigh at
3519@35S; 1875 was bid for Schuylkill pre-
ferred.
In Miscellaneous shares the only sales were in
Hestonville at 1414.

Recently she has attended the school at OAK Hill,
aud a few days ago her father notified her that he
would no longer be responsible for her board, and
that she must hereafter rely on her own resources
