Grand Display of Arctic
Scenery.

The reception given to the officers and crew of
the Polaris by the American Geographical Society,"
at the great hall of the Cooper Institute last nignt
was attended by an enormous audience which
filled every available seat and lett scarcely any
standing room. II was one OF the most brilliant,
cultivated and distin gushed audiences ever
at public assemblage IN New York. Well known
editors. prominent public men, authors ana
writers OF repute, the first scientists OF the day,
judges, lawyers and phlanthroplsts, in TACT,
very large number Of those who are usually
recognized as the leaders of the scientific
and literary world were present with their wives
and daughters to testify their lively interest
in Arctic discoveries and Arctic lore. The plat
form presented a curious and highly suggestive
spectacle. 1t was laden with interesting geo.
graphical trophies presented at various times to
the Society by explorers from all parts OF the
world. warus tuSk and SAUL, Lapand sleigh,
presented by Paul du Challu, &c. Two huge maps
OF Greenland ald the Arctic regions were hung
against the wall.
The first one to appear upon the platform was
the venerable Peter Cooper. IN company with
Henry G,innell and they were greeted with
hearty round OF applause. Then came the sur
vlv0rs Of the Poaris, whose rugged, sturdy frames
and weather beaten faces formed singular con-
trast to those OF the fashionable auditors.
Their appearance ellcited a long continued
oatburst OF applause which called pleasant
smile to each of their good natured faces. Esqui-
mau Joe and his wife Hannah, and little daughter,
with some others Of the surviving crew sat on the
lett OF the platforms on the right were ranged DIR.
Hayes the INDUSTRIOUS Arctic explorer, Captains
Burlington, Tyson and Chester Mrs. Joe was the
cynosure OF all eyes. She was dressed, not IN seal
skin and urs. but in the dress OF one who rather
affects New York fashions She wore brown
alpaca dress, wooden sack, white shawl and q
bright, white straw nat, trimmed with wreath Of
roseDuds. Her enormous pudding face, her brown
complexion, short straight nose, thin set lips and
low forehead contrasted strangely with the appear
ance OF the many dainty New York ladies in
the audience. Both Joe and Madame seemed
to listen with the most profound interest TO the
thorough and admirable description OF DR.. Hayes
and their laces Eindied with interest as they be-
held the Arctic sieighs, &c, displayed the plat
| torm-sights which might have made the average
New YORK spectator shiver with cold, but which
were probably only grateful "reminiscences Of their
! loved home TO them.
Besides Captain Buddngton, Tyson, Bryan and
Chester and Esqumau Joe and Hannah, were pres
ent the following seamen Of the Poars William
Nandeman. Fred Jancke, Fred AntlQ ana Noel

ling, F. A. Stout, J. p. Cabin and George ii. Moore
The stereoptiton views OF the icebergs, glaciers
and Of ships hemmed In by ice ana stranded among
ice-noes, ELECTED great applause The rugged
Undesirable grandeur OF the icebergs was vivldly
pictured by these views, which formed one OF the
most interesting parts OF the programme, ana, Tor
lew moments at least, one ieit though New
York had suddeny been transferred to the ice
bound regous the North Pole. The pictures OF
various noted Esquimau characters were partic-
ulararly striking, and were received with loud
demonstrations OF delight by the audience.
