RARE MUSICAL TREAT.

Those who listened to MT. Jepson's re- oital a year ago in Battell chapel eagerly availed themselves of another opportunity to hear him, and many others who have come to know him in his capacity as mus present. The body of the church was well filled, and the galleries were taxed to the limit of their capacity in spite of the warm weather. Among those present were many who arc prominent in musical and social ci,cles in New Haven. Among others who are we'll known in musical circles were Prof. Thayer of St. James' church, Brook iyn, Prof. M. Keller. who has recently taken charge of the music in Trinity church, MT. F. R, Bliss, formerly organist of Cal vary Baptist church, MT. 0. Fl. Mann, recently choir director of Christ church, who was the soloist at MT. Jepson's recital year ago. MT. Haskell, organist of the Dwight place church, Dr. D. A. Jones, Miss Gaffrey and other prominent singers in local churches.
 Among well-known New Haven people present were Mir. William Trowbridge, MT. Clarence Deming, the Misses Deming, P.of and Mrs. Fowler, MT. and Mrs. Whittle- sey, F. 8. Bradley, the Misses Whitney, Miss Trowbridge, MT. and Mrs. Winship, Nathan Sanford, Roy. and Mrs. Scoville, Mrs. Ishsm Henderson, MT. and Mrs. Ho- wsrth, and others.
 All the numbers of the program were we'll chosen and enthusiastically received. The selections were many of them new to New Haven people, and furnished rare treat to lovers of music. It is seldom, ex- cept on commencement day, that the soIemnity of the First church is broken by any demonstration of applause, and it was not until the third number of the program was finished that anyone yentured to ex- press their appreciation, but from that time on no selection failed to receive ap- plause. MT. Moyle's rendition of "Fear Not Ye, O Israeli" was very fine, and all regretted that he failed to respond to an encore.
 The "Marcia Villereceia" and the "Grand Sonata" which closed the program, were ably executed by MT. Jepson, and met with weil-merited approval. MT. Jepson has good reason to be proud of the advance he has made during the last few years, and he we'll deserves the high place which he now holds among New Haven musicians. The ushers of the evening were Aessrs. Robbins B. Stoeckel, Emerson R. Newell, Henry O. Allen, Carl F. Stahl, William 8. Terri berry, J. Weston Allen, William B. Board man, Dean B. Lyman, Nathan W. Green, Lafon Allen.

WANTED IMMEDIATELY.

The Resignation of Postal Card
 Agent Newton-ssPlease Send It by
 To.morrOw,s Mail',-Pure Democ-
 racy.
 The removal of Mir. 0. M. Newton of Middletown, postal card agent, is one of the latest examples of Democratic civil service reform and Democratic greed of office. On June 2 Mr. Newton received the following letter:
 MT. 0. M. Newton, Postal Card Agent, Birming
 sir@The Postmaster General directs me to say that as he centemplates making an early change your resignation, if rendered at once, fe take ef- feet on the qualification of your successor. Please
 send the resignation by to-morrow's mall. Yours
 very respectfully,
 Third Assistant Postmaster General.
 On June g he replied to 1t as follows: PosT OFFICE DEpARrxEsr,
 Hon. Kerr o1aise Third % 3ssistSnt Postmaster aaS General, Washington, D. O.:
 your communication of the 7th inst. stating that the postmaster general will accept my resig nation, 'if rendered at once." In reply, beg to say that, having performed the duties of my office faithfully and satisfactory te the depart ment, so far as am officially informed or know
 sss no reason req f%. w6y should send spectfully, CHARLES M NEWTON, Postal Card Agent. Yesterday, June IA, he received notice of his removal, which is reasonably quick work.
 Mr. Newton WAS appointed Postal Card Agent February 10, 1890. The four vears' term would have expired February 10, 1894. His predecessor, 8 Democrat, was allowed to stay in office six months more than four years before he was removed. The postal card contract had then come ] into this State from Castleton, N. Y., and the former agent was removed about 8 month after 1t came to Shelton. It has been the custom for the appointment to go to the State where the contract is located. The contract at Shelton expires October next, and the offioe of agent was so badly wanted by some greedy Democrat that the administration couldn't wait till October before removing MT. Newton. MT. Newton has been @ faithful and eff cient public servant, and no charges have ! ever been made against him. None are ] made now, but Democratic claimants are | so numerous that something must be done, and MT. Newton's removal was one of the things that has been done. He is a veteran ! of the War of the Rebellion and served in the Army of the Potomac, entering the service at the early age of sixteen and re- maining in it until he was nineteen. He l received several promotions while fighting | for the Union. His removal and the man. ner of it make striking illustration of the necessities and the spirit of the new administration.

AN UNPRECEDENTED DRIVE

ont Int the Center of the Harbor-
 The cid Sand Bsach-A Notable
 Landmark many Tears Ago.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 A few days ago e respected citizen of New Haven took me in his carriage to Savin Rock, and on the way back we turned of at Sandy Point and drove right out into the center of our beautiful hAr- bor. We drove over the old sand beach for half mile. and @ very singular place | 1t is, too. This beach is formed of e de- beauty the famous sands of Nantucket and the Good wins sands of Euglsnd. No doubt this beach is formed of the detritus of the glacial period, long previous to the sge of man.
 Cannot some of your readers tell why | this peculiar crescent formed beach should be made of coarse sand, while at the same time there is a deposit of mud twenty feet deep all through our harbori
 The secret laws of geology in the forma tion of the globe on which VIC live are pc. culiar and mystifying.
 | If sea wall could be built on the south l ern side of the beach there would be . fine resort on summer afternoons. The scene | is beautiful in all directions, and visit tc this locality when the tide Is full is de lightful, with the southwest bree zs waiting in from the sound.
 The "old beach" is now "terra incog nita" to our inhabitants, but sixty ant seventy years ago, when the littl, money making brigs of the Trowbridgs
 and Pecks were used to trade to th,
 West Iudies islands, the beach wac a fla | r,,t1far 1an1pnarH np oll l.,
 brigs were drawn up and their bottom
 were graved many years ego. Millions O
 tons of sand made up this grand old beach
 Those who were familiar with it in tn
 years gone by have passed away, and
 memory only exists. Let your readers visi 1t once and they will wish to visit it sgsil

 MORE ABOUT THE COMING RACE. NEW LONDON, June 14.-The board of trade boat race committee was notified to- day to expect the Harvard freshmensto morrow. Cornell will arrive the same evening at the Crocker house and next day take possession of the Nameaug club house near the finish line. Yale freshmen will not arrive until after examination next week. Reports from New Haven say it will prove the best freshman crew that ever represented the blue on the Thames. Columbis's race with Cornell occurs the 20th, and if all said about both crews fs true it will be remarkable in point of speed. Columbia has improved wonderfully, and Courtney predicts that his Cornell crew is the fastest sdoat. It is too early yet to make much criticism of the Yale and Harvard crews. Both are active on the
 water daily. Cook seems to be working
 harder with Yale this year than at any
 time previous. He has gone 90 far as
 taking the men out fin pair oars which Is
 very unusual with him. Harvard Is row ing in splendid form, considering the lime on the liver and much steaiier than Vale. The boat race committee to-day made ar rangemsnts with the signal corps of the -Thifd regiment to signal the progress of the crews in the university crew race.
 The lagging of the course was oom- pleted to-day by satisfactory representa- lives of both crews. Interest will increase with the advent of the Yale and Cornell freshmen. ~
