TOE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH-PHILADELPHIA. TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1869. THE JU1ULEE. Boston In Ntiitt of Kxrltrmrnt -Tim Prepara tion for the Trace Jubilee. From Our Own Correspondent. Boston, June 14, 1S09. The Ilnb ti In a state of feverish excitement. And why should ihe not be? The greatest musical fes tival she (nay, America nay, the whole world) ever witnessed IB about to take place In her very midst. It Is useless at so late an hour to follow up the gigan tic scheme from Its very Infancy. Enough to be said, the festival promises to be eminently successful, far nurpassing the keenest expectations of the most sanguine. Boston to-day Is filled with strangers, filled as she never has been before. Every hotel, every public hall, every boarding-house, In fact every available nook and corner Is occupied by shelter-seeking people, and all come here for the sole purpose, that of helping her to celebrate the restoration of peace throughout the country. The C'ollMrnm. Amidst all the bustle It Is quite natural that the centre of attraction should bo the building In which this great celebration Is to take place, the building better known as the Coliseum. The general nnswer to the question, "Where Is the Coliseum situated 7" Is, "On St. James Park, Hack Bay." This answer la generally ample to satisfy a resident or a suburban, but tho stranger needs more explicit Information, and for his benefit we may add that St. James I'ark was a fe months ago nothing more or less than part of a sandy plain of several acres, constituting a part of the territory reclaimed from the sea tinder the operation known as the 'Back Bay Improvement." The Park was laid out only on the maps, having nothing but imaginary boun daries, and being In fact a 'Tark" only In a prospec tive sense. The spot, however, Is easily described in the remark that it lies at the foot or western ex tremity of the settled portions of Doylston street and Nt. James avenue, which thoroughfares form the best immediate approaches to It. The CollBeum covers most of the surface prescribed for the "Park," and extends over considerable more ground, too, in the direction of the Provldenco Kallroad track, to within two hundred feet of which Its southerly wall approaches. The building is about fifteen hundred feet. Judging by the eye, due southwest of the Insti tute of Technology and the Academy of Natural His tory, and a quarter of a mile, more or less, from the southwest comer of the Public Garden. The Coliseum Is really a magnificent building. By politeness of Messrs. Dunham k Niles (the gentle men to whom the arrangements for the press have been entrusted, and U whose kind attentions your correspondent is much Indebted) we were enabled to get an inside view of the building this morning. The desorations are decidedly Imposing, being rich and, at the same time, appropriate. Of course, bunting in the national colors prevails. FIngs and coats of arms of every nation float from the pillars that support the ceiling. The stage occupies about two-fifths of the structure, the space allotted to the orchestra being in the centre. The organ, erected especially for the festival occa sion, occupies the very rear, the organist facing the conductor. Close to the conductor's stand are a number of speaking tubes connecting with the dif ferent portions of the chorus, and it Is througk these the conductors will issue their orders. The Musician. The chorus will be composed of ten thousand singers, while the orchestra will be composed of over one thousand performes. In addition to the orchestra, various bands of music have been engaged, which may bo named as follows : Metropolitan Band, Boston ; Boston Cornet, Bond's Comet, Boston; Ninth Kegiment Band, Boston; Edmund's Band, Boston; Suffolk Band, Boston ; Hall's Band, Boston, Haverhill Brass Band ; American Brass Band, Providence; Manchester (N. II.) Cornet Hand ; Dorlng's Band, Troy, N. Y. ; Wey mouth (Mass.) Brass Band; Brldgewater (Mass.) Brass Band ; Worcester Cornet Band ; Nashua (N.ll.) Cornet Band ; Taunton National Military Band. The members of the orchestra will wear citizen's dress, and the bands will be clad in their respective unU forms. Philadelphia is represented by seventy of her best musicians. Amongst them we notice Chas. Schmltz, Charles Jarvls, M. II. Cross, Carl Uaertner, L. Eu gelkc, Carl Sentz, William Stoll, Jr., C. Plagoman, anil others too numerous to mention This orchestra will be constituted as follows, and will comprise the crane de la enme of all the instru mentalists: Ulrinyttt. i Win-.

The small solos occurring in some of the oratorios and choruses will be sung by twelve soprano, twelve alto, twelve tenorl, and twelve basso selected from our most distinguished home talent. The first general rehearsal will take place at 9 A. M. to-morrow (Tussday), it having been found im- fiosslble to have the interior of the building finished itfore that time. At 10 A. M. the members of the press will be olllclully received. It is expected that about one thousand represen tatives of the press will be present. A (Jrnnd Hall. Although the week will bo Ulcrably full without It, It has been considered that the Jubilee festivities would be hardly complete If the programme was not lengthened by a grand ball. And in deference to the expressed desire of a largo number of influential citizens who are desirous to provide an opportunity for the sociul as well as artistic entertainment of the city guests and visitors, It has been decided to give a grand promenade concert ami ball at trie coliseum. The time selected is the evening of the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Thursday, June IT, and the exercises will be a fitting Jubilant termination of the festivities which will precede them during the day. Music will be furnished by the largest orchestra that ever performed for the inspiration of a saltatorlal assembly. Five hundred musicians, in cluding the best of the grand convocation of instru mentalists.will manufacture bewitching strains under the direction of Mr. Oilmore for the dance, and nod worth 's military band, largely augmented, aud nndor the direction of Mr. llervey B. Hodworth will also perform brilliant selections during the iutermlsslous of dauclngs, so that music will be unceasing dur ing the night, Retiring rxmis for ladies and gen tlemen will te ample, ami they will be provided with every requisite for the comfort aud conreuieucu of the party present. The seuts will, of course, be removed from tho rmrquette and the lobbies, and the proirenade gal lery above may be usod for prommiaders, while tho seats In the balconies will furnish ample accommo dations for spectators who do not elect to "mingle In the mazy.' Tickets of admission may bo had for a greenback with a letter V inscribed thereon, and these will each pass a gentleman and lady. Kvery extra lady whom a gentleman mav desire to cavalier will entail upon him the additional expense of three dollars. Supper will be provided In various rooms of the Coliseum at a proper hour. The sale of tickets lias already been quite large, and it is easy and reasonable to prophesy tlio assem bling of one of the most brilliant parlies ever gathered together on the American continent. The NclHhborlnK Village. Great planets always huvo smaller satellites re volving around them ; great men are surrounded by fawning, touching seekers for emolument, and in the "eternal fitness of things" it Is perhaps proper and natural that the Coliseum should become the centre of a smull village. The "Almighty Hollar" here comes In to exert its influence, ami those who liave no regular business save that of spreading sail when the wind blows have in large numbers con ceived in their day-dreams an army of hungry and thirsty people swelterlug under the June sun and iielng patiently jostled about under the fond belief that, they are having a good time in coming to the Jubilee, and have by a legitimate process songht to coax the pennies from the pockets of the sufferers. I-ong ago the owners of the contiguous land were besieged by small speculators who proenred leases of the territory during the continuance of the festi val, and have erected a hundred or more ngly look ing sheds, which they have let out to venders of soda, sprnce beer, cigars, doughnuts, ice cream, peanuts, gingerbread, and other stomach-distressing compounds. These shanties are arranged with all the beautiful regularity of an aiiorlglnal settlement. are of as many sizes and shapes as hailstones In a storm, and are covered with naming advertisements of all sorts of patent medicines, quack nostrums, iinir-urHiiiiiiers, lecui-preservers, ana ten thou sand other things, for which spare is granted by the proprietor for so much a square yard. Desiring to know whether it would be profitable to set up a peanut refectory, we Inquired of the land lord of three "chebangs," one of which he occupied, what he would let ns a tenement for. Showing us one IB feet front by 80 deep, which he said had the advantage of "fronting on two streets," he said we could use that until the first of Angust for Isoo, and another, half as large, for iwk).

CITY INTFiLLIUUIVVE. GUNPOWDER. A New Mechanical Mot or-An Important In ventionThe t'linpowrier Hammer and Pile Driver. The application of gunpowder as a mechanlcnl motor has been a problem with engineers for many years past, ana tne problem appears now to nave been solved, at least so fur as the use of this mate rial as a substitute for steam and other sources of Dower in forging and nile-drivlng. Some weeks ago we published a description of some interesting experiments at the Franklin Institute with a gunpowder forge-hammer, in veuted by Mr. Thomas Shaw, which proved, as conclusively us was possible with a small model, the practicability ana great vaiue oi me invention. Ywsterdav afternoon these experiment were re sumed on a larger scale at the ship yard of John W, Lvnn. Keed street wharf, where a number of en. elueurs and others interested in mechanical science assembled to witness the performances of a pfle- drlviug machine constructed on tne same principle as the gunpowder forge-naratucr. The experiments were conducted under the super vision of a commutes composed of Chief Engineer W. W. W. Wood, United States Navy; T. J. Love- good, Esq., Inspector of Boilers; and H. L. HofT, Esq.. of HofT. Fontaine A Abbott, Eagle Iron WorkB, who have kept an accurate record of all the data necessary to demonstrate the actual performances of the machine. It was the unanimous opinion not only of the committee, but or all who were present, that the Invention was one of great Importance, and that it must ultimately lead to further investigations in the same direction, whiehjwlll have a revolutionary effect on the whole system at present in vogue for the ferglng of metals. The gunpowder hammer pushes as wall as strikes, and thiB quality of Its per formance suggests an important consideration in the manipulation of metals that engineers will be quick to appreciate. Another Important element in this gunpowder machine is its cheapness and the economy with which it ean be operated. Krupp, the celebrated Prussian eun founder, has how in course of con. structiou the largest steam hammer ever made. To obtain a proper foundation for it he was obliged to dig one nunurea leet into tne earui, aim wneu com pleted the machine will cost over jnoo.ooo in gold. The inventor of the gunpowder hammer claims that he can construct a machine for Jsooo in currency that will do eaually heavy work, at an almost nominal cost alter it is once erected. Indeed, the economy of operating tne macnine is an impor tant consideration; the powder used is a cheap compound of chloride of potash and bituminous coal, aud in operating a pile-driver, such as was used for the experiments yesterday afternoou, it is esti mated that the saving In the wear and tear of tho ropes of the old-fashioned pile-driver alone, will more than cover the cost of the powder, doing away altogether with the steam engine, employing but two men. or a man and u boy, to operate it, aud doing eight times the work with a givun ratio of no wer. The gunpowder forge-hammer has for a founda tion an anvil block, secured to two guide, pillars, be tween which the hammer Is guided. There is also a secondary anvil which is suspended immediately over tne anvil oiock, mo weigut oi una seeouuary anvil being supported on two air chambers. The bottom of this secondary anvil is provided with the tiBual forging dies, varying with the kind of work to be performed. '1 he ton of this secondary nnvll terminates in a cylinder of a diameter corresponding in size with the niunirer of the lower end of tho hammer or ram. The metal to be forged is squeezed and pounded between these two anvils, and as there is conside rable weight in the secondary anvil it is necessary that it should be supported off from the work when not in operation. Fur tins purpose the air chambers are provided. These cousist of two plain brass cylinders llruily secured to the guide pillars, open at the top lor tne reception oi me piston rocis ami pis tons lilting the bore of the cylinder, making a tight joint, by what is known as hydraulic packing. The upper ends of these piston rods are suoured to a crosshead from the secondary anvil. If these pistons are lifted entirely out of the cylinders, and then allowed to descend in them again, they would com press the air in the cylinders until it was suttlctently contracted to cause a pressure equal to the weight it has to support. Iu case the bulk of air is too great thus supporting the anvil, or too high above the work, a safety-valve is provided, the spring of which is controlled by a thumb-screw, which can be so regulated that tho secondary anvil can be supported at any desired dis tance above the work. A pipe connects the two air chambers, causing the pressure to be the same iu each. As air escapes from the safety-valve, however, there would be danger of having it all lost, were there no provision for its re newal, but this; provision is made in the following manner: There Is a great pressure of nlr nud gas at every Btroke of the hammer, in the cylinder of tao Becondary anvil; hero Is an inexhaustible supply of air and gas, under pressure, and all that is neces sary Is to tap this cylinder by a pipe connected with the piston rod, which is made hollow for the passage) of the gas. This pipe Is provided with an adjustable check-valve for the retention of the gas. By means of this supply and safety-valve, the secondary anvil can be raised and lowered at wIlL The hammer is caught and held between the guides by a long friction rod, secured by pivoted arms to one of the guides in such a manner that wheu the fric tion rod is pulled down the distance between the guides Is diminished, causing a pinching upon and friction to the hammer sutllcient to arrest aud hold itu u't.Orlit diistiii1ii1 Thin nelinn nnlv noenrn on Dm 0 down stroke, for the up stroke pushes the friction rod in a direction to diminish the friction, allowing the hammer to ascend freely, but holding it against any uttempt to descend, and thus playing a very im portant part iu the operation of the engine. in audition to tins automatic aciuiu oi me iriciiou rod, it is completely under the control of the opera tor bv means of a lever connected with tho same rod, iiy which it can be held entirely out of touching distance of the hammer, or can be made to catch the hammer at every stroke. The platform Is placed some 18 or 80 feet above the ground, and on it there is sutllcient room for tho engineer and fireman to operate. Tho platform placed at this distance permits tho smiths to have full room to operate, without interfering with the engineer. A piston rod and piston are held suspended from a cross-beam at the extreme top of the guide pil lars, and the top of the hauiuor is bored for the reception of tho piston. The object of this Is to form an air cushion to nrrest the hammer and throw it violently down again when doing heavy work. The hammer is worked in this wise: A small car tridge of powder Is thrown Into the cylinder of tho secondary anvil, and then tho hammer is released and allowed to fall, forcing its plunger into the cylin der, exploding the powder, which drives tho ham mer up again, and at the same time forces the Becondary anvil violently down upon tho object to lie forced, thUB producing a pressure of 16,000 pounds for every square inch of area of the plunger; and this pressure Is continued for a prolonged period, as compared with ordinary pounding, and affords the kind of pressure that is necessary for the production of homogeneous forglngt. Tho luertla of the second ary anvil is overcome before the explosion of the powder, by reason of the pressure of the confined air forcing the anvil down upon the mass, the speed thus obtulued considerably augmenting tho force of the blow. It is estimated that a hammer falling twenty feet, welirhinir ftOOO nouuds, provided with a plunger six teen inches dinnicter entering a chamber forty iiwdiea iieen. limiting a one-fourth pound charge of powder, will cause a blow to be struck equal to a ilead pressure of 8,600,000 pounds, sumcieut, in fact, to forge our largest, eaimou. The pile-driver i similar la construction and prla- r pie to the hammr r, bnt simpler. There Is no neces sity ror the valve and air chambers, and thnv are consequently done away with. A cylindrical mas of iron, answcilng to the secondary anvil In the above " reum permanently npon tne head of the pile, while the arrangement of the hammer, the fric tion guides, and tho method of operating are the same as in the case of the hammer. i ne guide pillars of the machine eperated yester day afternoon waa about fifty feet in height, and the performance was therefore a complete demonstra tion of its practicability. The following account of the experiments Is made from the notes of the committee, and the facUl and figures will explain themaelveB better than any de tailed description. The regular working cartridge used dnring the greater part of the performance weighed of an ounce; several blows, however, were strneK with cartridges weighing x mere, or )tf ounce. The plle drlvenwasia Inches In dinmeter and 82 feet long, and It was forced Into hard ground. Eight blows were first struck to show the opera tions of the machine, which forced the pile down 86 Inches; nine blows then forced it down 80M inches in in seconds; 12 blows then forced it tl Inches In 16 seconds; an average of about i Inches per blow, and one blow every 1 X seconds. A num ber of blows were then given in order to demon strate the working of the machine, afer which a cartridge of the large size (one-half ounce) was then exploded for the purpose of forcing the hammer up to the top of the frame; this blow drove the pile n inches. Two blows were given with the same size cartridge, which drove the pile H! inches. A Bingle experimental blow with the same cartridge drove It 4 V inches, arter which the hammer was allowed to fall through the same distance as usual, without any cartridge being used after the manner of the old-fashioned pile-driver and the pile was driven 18-16 of an inch. The weight of the hammer in this machine Is 67(5 pounds. The experiment altogether occupied, perhaps, something over half an hour, and the pile was driven thirty feet Inta the ground, the tlmu of the actual woric not being more than five or six minutes. This Invention Is certainly one of the most valuable and Interesting that has been made for a long time. and It suggests great possibilities If the Investigation of the applicability of gunpowder aa a mechanical motor is still further pursued. The ranidltv with which the pile-driving machine could lie operated wrs much commented on by the gentlemen present yesterday ns a very valuable feature, as a nulck suc cession of blows will produce more satisfactory re sults than an equal number at long intervals. This machine Is at once cheap, simple, and efficient, and u win uouoiiess speedily come into iavor witn en gineers as supplying a deHuleraUim. Real Estats at Acctiok M.
