HORSE NOTES.

We learn by the Tu'J, Field and Farm 'thas MIR.
ifornia, reports that all attempts to make match
race between Thad Stevens and Joe Daniels proved
abortive. Mr.. Treat was offered every inducement
to make the match, but declined. 1t would seem
that he does not to risk the reputation Of his
horse In another four mile contest with an animal
of recognized merit like Joe Daniels. Mr.. Treat
talks OF coming East next summer with Thad Ste.
vens; but well informed opinion declares that
these plans of the future will be carried out

best horses on our own tracks. We hope that Mr.

Joe Daniels has been kept in racing form all winter
and so mas Thad stevens; but Hubbard has
been laid up, having been fired and blistered.
Both Joe Daniels and Hubbard have passed
out OF California hands, Messrs. Gage, Hubbard
and Daniels having repurchased or resumed con-
troll OF them. These horses will remain on the
Pacific slope some weeks yet, and then be brought
back to the Atlantic seabOard. True Blue Is still
lame, and Mr.. Brewster doubts If he will be able to
race through another campaign"

The defence opened by citing cases OF mistaken

the identity OF Carrie M. Waite and Catherine
Waller.
mOny Two witnesses testified that they had seer
q woman with the defendant who closely resem-
bled her, and barber testified that her hair copld
not be dyed. The argument Tor the defence was
simply that the proof OF the marriage to Waller
had not been put 10. and that her Identity was not

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART,

The first evening opening OF the METROPOLITAN
Museum of Art took place last night It was at.
tended by nearly every one prominent in art mat.
tiers in this city. There was perfect lam In all
the rooms, and circulation was well nigh impossi-
bic. Under these circumstances no attention could
be given to the pictures Most OF the people pres
ent were engaged admirng the living and breath
ing beauties who moved about, smiling and bow
ing frightening the charm OF the art works
which formed curious frame for the animated
and ever changing groups. IL was rather
social gathering than mere exhibition OF
works and the curious aud instructive
EXAMPLES OF mans skill only served Is subjects
or conversation for people who perhaps, would
rather have been whispering Of something with
more human interest in il.
The collection Of objects OF art is choice and we'll
selected Within a comparatively small space we
have examples that lead US from the infancy Of
art, where men had not yet learned to work In
iron, TO the triumphs Of contemporary art. IL Is
very creditabie to the management that the
rious kinds of art work are well grOuped--we
cannot yet say cassiled-but this is, no doubt.
owing to the fact that most OF the col
lection belongs TO private Individuals, who
have loaned valuable works OF art TO the Museum
with the aim OF promoting correct art taste among
the people. These gentlemen deserve the best
collection of engravings sent from Philade lphia.
Owing to the effect OF the late monetary crisis the
Museum has not received that wide and generous
support to which its object entities it, but it is to
be hoped that better public spirit will be shown
by the wealthy citizens. The important collection
OF Cypr0te antiquities brought to light by Gen.
eral CesnoIa has only been secured for America
through the generous action OF Mr.. Johnson the
well known art patron. This gentleman pur-
chased the collection at his own risk for
the metropolitan Museum. ana up to the present
sufficient funds have not been placed at the dis
posal of the directors to enable them to acquire
this desirable collection. 1t Is to be hoped that
those interested in securing for our city really
valuable museum of art will make an effort to
secure definitely for the Museum the ownership of
the Cesnola collection.
The Museum will remain open daily, aud it is
proposed soon to open the galleries two or three
nights in the week. This ought to be DONE as it
would give our business men an opportunity of
cultivating their aesthetic tastes.

ment, East Twenty-eighth street, last evening,
and Judging by the character Of the assemblage-
and 1t was both intelligent and enthusiastic
there is good reason to believe that athletic
sports Will henceiorth have earnest and substan-

thronged by select and appreciative class or
young gentlemen who believe in the thorough de-
veOpment or the human frame. Among the numer-
Gus interesting features OF the programme were
exhibitions in sparrlng, fencing and wrestling and
In some instances decided skill was manifested to
the intense delight OF the spectators, most OF whom
were friends OF the participants. TO enumerate
the many excellent items of the evenings sport
would be matter OF difficulty but 1t Is sale to say
that more enjoyable entertainment OF the kind
has never been given in the city.
