Centennial Matters.

and to scenes and incidents at Phiiadei.
phia yesterday. The general opinion
Is That the opening day was IA success,
auguring we'll for the Exhibition.
Wagner's Centennial March has
taken greatly with the people who
have heard it at rehearsal and theopen-
ing ceremonies: but some critics say il
is not equal to the famous Kaiser
March or the Haelderings. some dis
appointment had been expressed thai
the ill,lstrions composer had incorpor-
ated no ~well-kn0Wn American airs in
the march, but 1t now turns out that
Yankee Doodle runs through the EN-
tire march.
People in New York seem only to
have begun to think that this is the
centennial year; still, the public build
ings, ships in the harbor. etc., were
decorated with flags and bunting,
though a smart thunder shower inter
fered sadly.
The New York ssSun's'' Criticism
OH h Centennial Opening.
New YoRK, May 10.
The Sun says that Grant read his
speech, and his reading was done in an
q - ii.tiO at,( 40 rt ixtntipur a,,, o,,I
t o cap all a man fell in a fit during the
reading. In the confusion nobody
could near out of doors. Much of the
walking had to he done in the mud.
Many fences bad not been removed,
and on every hand was a lack OF coin-
pleteness. The restaurants were mad
equate and everything was eaten be-
fore a fourth Of the demand was made.
There is a strong probability that the
exhibition will open on Sundays. The
soldiers here are a mere caricature and
only fit TO serve in burlesque. Wag-
ner's march was a dead failure.
The Mustang Race.
The drove of mustangs will betaken
to Fleetwood Park for exercise, pre-
paratory to next Tuesdays race. They
were exhibited yesterday and had their
riding qualities exhibited by a Cali
fornian. Thirty-two have just been
shod for the first time, and many had
to be thrown down or suspended in
mid air.
The Bowen Case.
The Special Committee appointed to
investigate the Bowen case reported q
majority of the cases in effect against
him. proving him guilty Of equivoca-
ton and deserving the severest censure
of the church. The committee sub
sequently adjourned for eight days, in
order 10 give Bowen an opportunity to
tell all he knows to DR.. Taylor, of
Broadway Tabernacle, if the latter will
not tell the public. The session was
very stormy and excited. Beecher
arose and started to speak, saying. II
am accused Of a monstrous crime"
when DR.. Parke, ona of Bowen's coun-
sci, Interrupted him, saying, 'An6 you
are guilty, too, sir" Instantly a hun
dred people were on their feet, and
Parke was ordered out, being Kissed
to the door.
The Congressional Investigation.
A Herald's Washington special saws
it is understood that some OF the ablest
Democrats in the House are engaged
in summarizing the result of the in
vestigations and that before the session
closes those results will be presented
to the country in one or two
speeches, which will be pre-
sen,ed to the country in an in
telligible and read ,ble form, and
show what the Congressional in
quiries have developed; but the COM
mittees are by no means done. Some
of them have scarcely begun. A
good deal OF work remains and there
is no disposition to leave anything un-
done.
