The sessions Of the musical association have
steadily increased in interest and usefulness
from the opening TO the present time. The
threatening aspect Of the clouds and the slight
rain in the morning looked little discour-
aging, but in a short time all was fine, and
crowds were seen vending their way to Mechan-
les hall. A slight delay, occasioned by the rain
and putting the "Grands" on the stage, was
amply atoned for by vigorous prosecution of
the work in hand by the conductors Very de.
cidedimprovement was shown in the singing of
the class under the intelligent drill of Mr.. Emer-
son. He gave them some very valuable hints
in regard to the proper performance of
church music, more particularly of that in
anthem form, with special reference 10 those
for the evenings performance. Soon after ten,
Mr. Zerrahn again claimed the attention of the
class in further study and practice of Elijah.
Mrs. Moulton came in during the rehearsal and
sung some of the solos forming connecting links
in the chorus Interesting sessions were also
held in the afternoon, during which the class
showed unmstakeable progress under the in
struction of the efficient conductors But the
great event of the afternoon was the matinee,
arranged Tor the eulucatlOn Oh tue teachers ana
scholars of the public schools. The hall was
completely filled with the little folk and their
friends, and all seemed delighted with the fine
programme presented
The matinee opened with the organ solo by
Master Charles d. Grout. He commenced with
Bach's fugue inIG minor ending with variations
on Pleyeps Hymn, by Eugene Thayer. The
fugue was rendered in bold, decided manner,
displaying genuine organ STYLE and unusual
merit for SO young a performer. The variations
were neatly executed showing also ability in
the ford and modern style OF organ playing
"Angels ever Bright and Fair" by Handel, was
sung by Miss Bachelor of Upton. 1t was a
nice rendering of beautiful song. Master Van
Raalte of the Boston Conservatory of Music
made his debut before a Worcester audience,
and acquitted himself admirably. He played
with great precision and beauty De Beriot's great
concerto for the violin, "Rondo Russo" and in
response to an encore played again. Miss Eva

The Turf.

SACRAMENTo, Cal, Oct. 16.-The race be-
tween Goldsmith Maid aud OCcident at the
Agricultural park course this afternoon, drew
crowd of 10000 people, among them many lead
ing citizens of the stale. sine race was for a
purse Of $4,000, mile heats, best three in five,
The Maid was the favoritc from the outset, 500
being freely staked on her against $50 on Occi-
dent. Both horses were in excellent trim.
First heat-Occident drew the pole, and the
horses commenced scoring at half past ?. Nine
false starts were made. In the scoring, Budd
Doble, driver of the Maid, always came up in
'front.' Eof holding Occident back. Eoff was
fined $3.50 for refusing to obey the orders of the
Judges. After another false start the horses
finally got off on the eleventh score at half past
three O'Clock. Occident showed length ahead
TO the first quarter, time 83t seconds; opened a
gap Of daylight at the halt mile, time 1074; but
when approaching the thlee-quarIer post, the
Maid cOlared the horse and passed him; COM
ing down the home stretch she pulled ahead,
Doble laying on the whip, and Maid passed the
line three lengths ahead time 2.20t. Occidenfs
time 2214. Neither Of the horses showed signs
of fatigue.
Second heat-The betting was about the same
as at the commencement, to i'll favor of the
Maid. Both horses came up fresh and got off
at the first score, The Maid had the pole and
drew out daylight at the quarter, time, 84t; the
Maid increased the distance to two lengths at
the half mile; time, :OSi. There was no change
in position to the home stretch, when the Maid
drew ahead and again passed under the string
tw nty yards in advance; time, 2:20f.
Third heat-Both get off at the first score.
Occident made a squirt and took lead OF three
lengths to the first quarter; time, 34i The Mald
gained slightly, and before the half mile was
reached, in :09}, the Maid was closing the gap.
In the third quarter, 0ccdent broke badly and
the Mai passed him ten lengths before he re-
gained his feet; the Maid then easily took the
heat in 2:22, beating Occdent nearly three
quarters OF the distance. Budd Doble,
driver Of the Maid, charged Eoff
with running into the mare before reach
ing the first quarter, and says Eoff ran the
whole of his sulky against his shaft and then
over the foot OF the Maid The latter's foot is
slightly scratched, but not damaged to any ex-
tent. She will probably be lame for couple OF
weeks This action on the part OF Eof is zen,
orally condemned After the race Eoff quar-
reied with Jackman, the driver Of the Maids
mate, and struck hin, and was promptly ar
rested. The quarrel grew out of Eoi's action
The result OF the race is a great disappointment
TO the people here, but was not unexpected.
Gov. STANFORD, owner oil Occident, stated pub.
licly tins morning, before the race that bis horse
was either sick or tempered with last night, but
his assertion is not generally credited. The
time surprised eve'y one, especially the sporting
fraternity, who bet heavily on 16 and 2 III.

Conclusion of the Nets Investigation.
The Omcers Censursd and their Licenses
Revoked.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-The official report Of
the investigation into the disaster to the steamer
Metis concludes as follows:
"ln view of the facts presented to us in this
testimony, as we have carefully considered
themJ and painful as it is for us, we feel il oul
duty to revoke the licenses of Charles L. Burton
master; Abraham Torrey, first pilot; and VIM
Palmer, second pilot.
The second pilot for careleSsness in the dis
charge OF his duty in not taking proper means
10 avoid collision. The first pilot for gross
carelessneSS in not taking the proper means fol
ascertaining the extent Of damage done TO the
steamer when lie was specially entrusted with
the important duty by his superior officer, and
for ineticiency while experimenting the
clearing away and lowering of the boats
and the master for general inefficen-
cy in his management after the collision, and
the total absence of any organized plan for the
rescue of the passengers, leaving them to do for
themselves, without advice or counsel, until il
was too late and beyond his power to tender
them any assistance. We also feel il our duty
to suspend for six months the license of w. II
Baker, as chief mate, for leaving his boat to the
care of deck hand when those in the boat
were in great need Of his assistance. In this
connection we must add that had all the re.
quirements of the law been complied with in
reference TO the training of the crew of this
steamer, as provided for by the rules of the sta
ton bill, which every master is bound by hi,
oath to carry out we think this unpleasant duty
would have been spared us"
Inc object OF the investigation by officers oil
the different local districts was TO secure an i'm
partial report, but as it appears by the law that
the local boards only can revoke or suspend
licenses, the secretary of the treasury TO-DAY
issued an order to the local board at New Lon
don to investigate the conduct of the licensed
officers of the Mets for the purpose Of ascertain
ing whether they were guilty of neglect of duty
and TO take proper action in the premises.

Disaster TO steamer PrOvidence-Panic
Among the Passengers.

New YORK, Ocl. 16.-The steamer Provi-
depce, OF the Fall River line, while trying to
avoid a collision with schooner, ran into the
government scow in Hell Gate at SIX o'clock
last evening, on her way east. The Scow was
smashed TO pieces, and all the upper works of
the steamer were carried away. She became
unmanageable and drlted upon the rocks. The
greatest excitement prevailed among the six
hundred passengers, but fortunately nobody
was injured The Stonington came ALONGSIDE
and TOOK off the greater number. A few were
returned to the city in TUGS and small boats
The Providence was 1oated off at a late hour
Capt. Simmons gives the annexed account of
the accident:
We left pier No. 2S about twenty minutes to
five, and got as far us the gate about quarter to
six. There was a strong food running, and
was compelled to either 20 ahead or drift on
shore. AT the time u schooner was coming
through the gate, and under the circumstances
! was compelled TO either run into the schooner
or drift down on a scOw. | chose the latter and
hence the collision. The scow is anchored in
mid-channel, aId is a great obstruction to navi-
cation, and has already sunk six or seven vessels.
No later than this morning she tore the stern off
a schooner We lost thirty-two rims off our
starboard wheel, and the starhoard sponsor is
also badly damaged 1t will take about two
weeks to effect the necessary repairs. The
steamer Narraganset took the passengers, num-
bering $780, on to Boston. The cargo will be
reshpped by steamer Bristol.

Bold Robbery in Boston.
Paymasier's Clerk in the Old Colony
Railroad Once Knocked Down and
Robbed of s4OOO-Escape Of the Rob-
Der.

BosToN Oct 16.-Another bold outrage took
place to-day at the Old Colony depot in this
city, which for boldness of execution and con-
cepton has not been equaed in this vicinity for
a long time. 1t shows concluslvely that the
city is the abode Of some daring fellows who are
on the watch for every chance.
1t appears that Mr.. h. G. Nutter is the pay
master of the Old Colony railroad, and it is his
duty to receive from the station agents on the
road their payments, which are made daily, and
amount at times to twenty thousand dollars.
To-day he made payment early in the day to
the treasurer, Mr.. j. NJ. Washburn.
About twenty minutes past twelve o'clock to-
day, finding that he had a sum on hand amount
ing TO SS195 in bills and sundry checks, J. W.
Woods, clerk for Mr., Nutter, opened the door of
his office, which is only three feet distant from
the door which opens into Mr.. Washburn's
office, and in the main entry way where at al
most any hour of the day there are q large
number of persons passing to and from the
different offices on the same floor. He stepped
out with the funds in his hand, but before he
had time to even look at his assaant he was
struck a severe blow in the eye and knock ed
down almost senseleSs. The robber seized the
package and escaped He secured the above
named amount, SS195, but the checks will prove
valGeless.
1t is very evident that the thief had carefully
studied the habits of the paymaster and had be-
come conversant with his method Of doing bust
ness. Fortunately the sum was much less than
it would have been had not the early payment to
the treasurer taken place in the morning.
