TRAVELLING WORLDS FAIR.-As will be seen
by our advertising columns, Barnum's great
travelling Worlds Fair will exhibit in this city
on the 2Sth inst, on the Western Promenade.
Twenty great tents are needed to contain the
features of this wonderful entertainment. There
are 1O9O 900 curiosities three great circus troupes
and q menagere of rare animals. Five trains
of railway cars needed to transport it, and the
gorgeous street procession is miles in length.
Space would fail to mention 1.-THE of the won
ders on exhibition. The grand entree" is I'M
doubtedly the finest thing ever seen under can
vass in this country. Twelve jet black horses
mounted by ladies in rich silver costumes, en-
ter one ring, twelve milk white steeds enter
another, while a marvellous procession OF eie-
phants, camels and other animals enter tho
thlrd. The show has no peer on earth.

NEW YORK.
DIR. Hayes interviewed.

New YORK, May 11.-Dr. Hayes, the we'll
known Arctic explorer, who was interviewed
yesterday, expresses the opinion that the Polar
ic was unfit for service that there was n disci-
pline on board of her, but that Capt. Hall has
proved that Smiths Sound is navigable and is
the true passage to the Polar Sea, which he
seems to have reached, though driven back by
drifting ice fields or gales of wind. DIR. Hayes
cannot understand why the ship, when so near
Northumberl Island, should have been drIv-
en- upon the ice and discharged her cargo
upon it. He thinks that there was dissension
on board and that it looks as though the party,
cut off from the ship, had determined to leave
her. but Capt. Hall has done glorious thing.
He has gone further north with ship than any
human being ever did before, although others
have gone as far in sledges, and the Polaris was
219 miles further north than Kane's ship.
DR.. Hayes says it almost looks as if Mr.. Hall
was killed by one of his men in mutiny, for
he had never known of any one dying in that
section from apoplexy and Capt. Hall did not
look like an apoplectric man. Dr. Hayes be-
leves that the rest of the crew are yet alive and
that the Polaris will return here by September.
Prof. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution,
thinks the expedition is far from failure, and
has no doubt realized many of the objects in
view in sending it out.
A Duel with Pistols.
The New York Herald, Richmond special,
says Mccarthy, one of the duelists, was the au-
thor of poem which appeared in the Enquirer
in February, charging faltehood upon young
lady, and which was resented by Mordicai.-
Both parties were then arrested, but soon dis
charged, as proof of hostile intent was wanting
A week ago they met in billiard room, when
Mccarthy insulted Mordecai and the latter
felled his opponent to the ground. Mccarthy
challenged Mordecai and they met at o'clock
on Friday evening in the neighborhood of Oak
wood Cemetery with their seconds and fought
with pistols at ten PAGES. They fred and both
| were wounded, Mccarthy in the hip and Nor
| decai tn the abdomen. The latter perhaps IA
tally.

| THE HOSPITAL CONCERT. The concert for the
benefit of the Maine General Hospital on Fri
| day evening next, will, of course, be brilliant
| affair, the appearance of Miss Annie Louise
Cary alone being sufficient guarantee of sue
cess. The favorable opinion which the Bee
thoven Quintette won from the Portland pub
lie last winter justifies a confident prediction
that the instrumental part of the entertainment
Will be of high order. Miss Ada Cary always
sings charmingly, especially when her sister
presence gives her the benefit of the yaluaol
advice and assistance which comes from eHPe
rience and rare good taste. AS for MISS gary
herself what need we say to the citlzens y,
Portland. The warm and cordial appreolao,ot
evinced in the great ovation, which her coneSa'
of last month became, testifies that no iauaa
tory words from us are required. oIhoo InaU
event she has achieved marvellous trlulhRn ia
the imposing oratorio concerts IN New iorh
and has even eclipsed the ectdt there acquired
bv her enthusiastic reception at the Cincinnati
Festival with which the whole country rings.
Not only the Western papers, but those of all
sections combine in glowing laudations. From
to copy from the New York Tribune the fol-
lowing brief notice of Que of the immense Gin
cinnati concerts:
The great feature of the evening was the
performance of the scenes from Glucks
.r,orpheus," Miss Cary singing four or five of
tne principal recitatives and arias with the
choral accomplishments. The performance of
it lasted about three-quarters of an hour, and
was frequently interrupted with hearty APP
plause. In conducting, Mr.. Thomas's usual
manner was changed to a nervously energetic
one, which evinced determination that it
should succeed, and it did. Miss Cary's rich
and powerful voice was never used to better
effect, and her method of singing with recita-
tives and arias showed genuine artistic finish.
At the close of her last aria, 81 have lost my
Eurydice," she was heartily applauded, and
when she left the stage the audience gave vent ea
to its delight in tremendous applause. She
was three times recalled amid shouts OF
"Bravo," waving of handkerchiefs, and an en-
thusiastic demonstration from the chorus, esPe-
cally on the alto side which was gracefully
acknowledged. "-[ Sunday Star,
