Of the Ring-A speech from John Fox.
A meeting was called last evening IN the First
Ward, by means Of large posters placarded In public
places and grand flourish OF trumpets through the
streets, for the approval Of the Tammany nomina-
tions. On the posters were conspicaousy noticed
the names Of Mayor O'Hal, Richard o'Gorman, the
Big Judge, and other heavy weights. Tie meeting
organized ut $40 at o. Greenwich street, where a
large stand was erected and flags OF oil kinds were
displayed. A band OF music was in attendance, and
fireworks were let on. AT =. N. the meeting was
called to order by the notorious ticket swindler
Nicholas Muller who made motion, and seconded
It himself, that he be elected chairman. which was
carried by the saeaklpS veices Of number OF girls
and few dimlnutiye boys. No speakers appearing
up TO this tine. Muller attempted to deliver an
Grafton, but being more experienced In swinding
his countrymen than In oratory, he most siEnally
failed.
At this time the air was rent with cheers by an
assemblage 4 short distance from the Muller meet
Ing, comprising the citizens OF the Ward, over u
thousand strong, ,promlscuously gathered together
inent citizens Of the Ward addressed the meeting in
opposition TO the Mongrel ticket composed Of re.
peaters and ticket swindlers.
Az the other meeting, II by that name such
gathering could be digniled, neither 0'Gorman,
O'Hall, nor Judge Connally appeared. IL was after
O'clock when Judge Curtis took the stand to speak
in favor OF his confrere, Terence Duhey for Assis
tant Alderman. (DunS Is the man who was leading
gangs OF repeaters through the Finh Ward last
week. The Judge confined himself solely to the
claims OF Duifey During the harangue tof Curtis,
which was almost inaudible he was repeadly inter
rupted by enthusiastic cheers for Fox, Hogan. and
Moore who are without doubt decidedly the favor
ties In this ward.
The immense gathering OF citizens who were Ss-
sembed at the Anu-Tammany meeting formed into
procession without music, re.workst, or banners,
and marched to the house Of Congressman Fox in
Morris street, clamoring for speech.
nr. Fox made his appearance on his stoop, and
delivered an leoquent address, which was received
"lth the widest enthusiasm. He denounced 10 un.

corrupt lammany leaders and their willing tools,

blage then marched again through the Muller meet.

Academy Of Music.

Last evening was the first of the new season Of
Italian operu under the direction Of Mr.. Albites,
and the beginning was in every way successful. A
crowded houss received the old and new candidates
for public favor with enthusiasm quite pleasant to
witness. Miss Kellogg made her first appearance as
Leonord in the "Trovatore." In a new part there
should be many allowances made for the artist. but
Miss Kellogg needed none. Her singing and acting
were throughout Intelligent aud finished. Her only
deficiency lay in the nature Of her voice. which has
not that wealth OF power which makes the vocal

other hands almost sublime. The solos OF the fret

In the Academy than by this lady. Madame GAz-
