Hoston, Jntio is.
Tlic day has at last come. I say the day. You will
ourse understand that I am speaking of Tues
, Jane 15, the day set apart for the beginning of
great musical festival, the greatest that has ever
n place in the entire civilized world, and un-
otedly alNo In the entire uncivilized. It has
i ruining most all the morning, and really the
ther Is not to he blamed for that. Everybody
t to attend ttic Jubilee, and so does Jupiter
1vlup.
As early as T o'clock you might have seen people,
trying either music or Homo inimical instrument,
Riding their way to the Collsonm. The re-
arsal was to come off at 9 o'clock, but
was fully 10 before the emrmoua chorus
d the colossal orchestra were seated In their
ices. I have been Informed that the entire mass
executants have remained in their places all day
til the beginning of the concert at 3 o'clock, when
need I say It? the sight was one of almost sublime
undcur, and one that will forever linger In the
morlcs of those fortunate enough to have been
sent. The south end of the building was occu-
d by more than ten thousand singers and an or
I'Htra of 1100 performers, the great peace drum
ving been placed In the centre of the orchestra.
e auditorium was comfortably filled, but not over-
wded. Admiral Farragut and suite's entrance
s greeted with great applause.
tl'he inauguration ceremonies opened at 3, with a
yer by the Rev. E. E. Hale. This was followed
short address of welcome by his Honor the
yor of lloston, after which guns were fired by
utriclty. Then came a most able address by the
n. A. II. Bice, which elicited loud and continued
ilause. It Is needless for me to dwell upon these
erent able discourses, as doubtless you will re-
ve them through the regular press despatches.
icn the speakers had retired, Ole Bull and Carl
sa made their appearance, and took'seats at the
Ule.sk next to the conductor's stand. Their ra
tion, by the chorus, orchestra, and audience was
nense, and must have been highly flattering to
se gentlemen, showing them how highly the
ullc value their artistic services.
Ir. Gilmore next mounted the conductor's stand,
1 was greeted with overwhelming applause. The
steal part of the performance then began
h Luther's choral, "God Is our C astle and De
ne," sung by the entire chorus, with orchestral
f organ accompaniment, Mr. Gilmore wielding the
on. The effect was electrifying, and paper, and
are entirely Inadequate to den cribe It, The time
as perfect as could be desired by the most fastl-
as. The organ added greatly to the cfrect by its
'-orous bass notes. Great applause greeted the
iforniauee of this piece.
Tils was followed by Wagner' s overture to Tann-
tauter, played by the select orchestra of six hundred,
r. Eichberg conducting and keeping the forces
uler admirable control. The figurative accompanl-
ents of the violins, In both the andante and finale,
as splendidly given, while the brass instruments

cat effect.
The third piece In order was Mozart's Gloria,
om the "Twelfth Mass," Mr. Terrahn conducting.
Mien that gentleman made his appearance the
pplause was deafening, nearly the entire chorus

then quiet had been restored, Mr.' Ter
lin gave the signal ami Mozart's sublime com-
OHltlon was sung In a manner as it never has been
fore, and probably never will be again, the ten
liuiiFand voices singing together admlra-
,iy. Madame Parepa-Ucsa's appearance was
le signal for another outburst of applause. She
is most appropriately attired in a white silk dress
mined with red and blue velvet and buttons
e sang Gounod's "Ave Maria" superbly, her volo i
tiling with tine effect and liUing completely the
mouse building. The introduction was admirably
iiyed by tho orchestra, organ, and the solo violin

( imtry. led by those splendid artists, Ole Bull and
'irl Rosa. Mr. Gilmore conducting.
The first part was then concluded with the "Sta"
"Angled Banner," sung by the entire chorus of ten
-und voices, accompanied by the bands and
cfitras of eleven thousand, the great organ, and
hird verse, also by salvos of artillery. The effect
electrifying. At its conclusion shout upon shout
through the vast building, and an encore was
ed upon and given.
,e second part opened with the Ilymn of Peace,
en for the occasion by Dr. O. W. Holmes, to the
of Keller's American Hymn. Here are the
orris, which I think might be considerably inl
awed upon :
Angel of Peace, thnn hast wandered too lone!
Spread thy lill wings to the aunahine of luve!
Come, wtnle onr voice, are blended in .ting,
Fly tu our ark like ibe torni-lat'ii dove!
Fly to our ark on the winus of the dove,
Speed o'er the fur snundine: billow, of aonp,
Crowned with thine olive leaved garland of love,
Angel of Peace, thou bant waited too lone!

Mingiiiis the gift, we have gathered for thee.
Sweet with the odors of myrtle and pine,
Brerr.e of the prairie and breath of the sea,

programme, at the eleventh hour, by general
request, Verdi's "Anvil Chorus," by the full chorus
of ten thousand, orchestra, military band, drum
corps, one hundred anvils, beaten by members of
the IloHon Fire Department, and cannon firing.
The appearance of the firemen, dressed In their red
shirts, black pants, and white caps, each carrying a
sledge-hammer, was the signal for great applause.
Mr. Gilmore led this performance, and It Is but Just
to say that it passed off with the utmost precision.
The applause at Its conclusion was tremendous,
the vast audience rising to their feet, the men
throwing hats In the air, while women waved their
handkerchiefs. There was no resisting .such a
demand for a repetition, and it was therefore given
again with the same eflect and eliciting the same
nthnslnsm. The first day's concert then concluded
ulth the national air, "My Country, Tis of Thee,"
suag and played by, let me say, everybody present,
as the entire audienco Joined In singing the last
verse. There can be but one opinion on the subject,
and that Is, the Peace Jubilee is a great success, and
we cannot bot congratulate Boston.
"oreatls Boston, and Gilmore Is its Prophet (or
profit)." '
I mentioned in my yesterday's letter that the press
were to be officially received this morning. Said re
ception took place at 0( c'clock to-day In the reception-room
In tho Coliseum. The room Is situated on
the west side of the building, and is fitted up very
handsomely. It is carpeted with Brussels carpet,
furnished with green velvet furniture, and superbly
decorated with choice flowers.
After listening to addresses by his Honor Mayor
Shurth -IT and the editor of tho Commercial livlletin
the entire editorial fraternity Bat down to a most
an pie collation. I cannot refrain from mentioning
one dleh at this collation, which was doubtless
terved by the caterer In order to honor the motto of
the day, viz. : "Let us have Peace."
I refer to salmon and peas. "Let us have Peas,"
was ihe cry of the hungry. Their appetites were ap
- p ascd, and so was thut of C Sqari.
HIE BIG DRUM.
The Noise it Is to Make-An IntrreMliiia Ac
count of it.
Boston always lias an eye for massivencss. She
is not to be beaten in tho vaslncss of her instru
ments, even though the tone is faulty. If we
did not live in an age of wonders, one would be
inclined to look upon this description of the
Boston big drum as a gross exajgcrntlon, jii6t
such a one as Dean Swift was capable of origi
nating. The New York Post says of it:
Among the wonders of the Peace Jubilee at
Boston, not the least remarkable is the huge
drum which has been constructed especially for
the occasion. It is not claiming too much to
nflirra that it is the largest instrument of tho
kind ever seen in the world. It has boon built
in accordance with tho latest discoveries in the
science of acoustics, and Yankee Ingenuity has
been taxed, not in vain, as will be seen, to
bring it to the highest point of perfection.
The great desideratum was to provide an in
strument which should act as a complement
or sort of musical balance-wheel for the vast
ocean or forest of sound, or any other
figure of sullicicnt amplitude, to convey
the idea of noise adequate or supplementary
to the great chorus of three thousand voices,
besides wind and other instruments. To
achieve this result the leading musicians, instru
ment makers, philosophers, and patrons and de
votees of art generally in Boston were called
into requisition. Among the persons in consul
tation it is Biimcient to mention me names of
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Professor Elliott of
Harvard, Professor Gilmore, Bron60n Alcott,
and H. W. Emerson. After anxious deliberation
and careful experiments, the result is embodied
in the huge drum, which, as we have stated, will
be the wonder of wonders of the grand musical
celebration of the age.
We can only give an outline of this musical
monstrosity: It is one hundred feet long, five
hundred feet in diameter, and has an area of
about two and a half acres of sheepskin on the
sides. Tho sheepskins, to the number of
tcventcen thousand, have been delicately but
irmly pasted together according to a newly
discovered process by a clever Connecticut
mechanic, which will be patented. The drum
sticks are as largo as the masts of a first-class
clipper ship, and will be operated by ma
chinery, somewhat as follows: A sort of derrick
or pedestal has been erected on each side of the
huge drum, with machinery on tho pivot prin
ciple for the drumsticks to work in, Tho lever
oge of the latter will be light, and the mechani
cal resistance has been reduced to tlio lowest
practicable point. Only ten men with ropes
w ill be required to work each drumstick. These
men, cf course, w ill bo accomplished musicians,
nnd will be under the control of a director, who
will also be guided by ProfesBor Gilmore, the
Grand Director.
The machinery of the ponderous drumsticks
will be almost entirely concealed from the
audience. Tho derricks will be furnished with
platfoims or feats, which will accommodate 150
erformcrs. The rest of the machinery will be
covered by Americau flags artistically arranged.
At first it wimi intended to accommodate tho
entire orchestra upon benches and platforms
arranged on alternate tiers of the front section
of the drum. But it was found that the many
scaffoldings required would interfere with the
musical notes of the drum. It was also appre
hended that the tremendous concussion of sound
would jar the musicians, and probably unseat
them. This part of tho programme was there
fore reluctantly left out.
But tlie drum as it stands will be a monument
worthy of Boston. It is 60 largo that it is cal
culated five hundred persons could be com
fortably dined hi the interior. As for the sound,
it is expected that some of the deeper notes will
be hem d at a distance of lifty miles. Indeed, bets
have been offered that with a humid atmosphere,
and the w ind in tho right direction, tho drum
will be heard in New York, fay at the top of
Trinity steeple, on Mount Washington, or on
Brooklyn Heights, those places being elevated
above the din of the city. It was contemplated
In Boston at ono time to send a request to the
New York authorities to suspend business, or at
least transportation, in our city for a couple of
hours, in order to enable our population to par
ticipate, as far as possible, in the luxuries of the
Jubilee. But the transmission of the sound de
pended upon so many contingencies of the
weather, that the project was finally abandoned.
As matters now stand, New Yorkers who de
sire to hear the great drum must go to Boston,
or at least to New Haven, Hartford, or Provi
dence, K. I. '
In order to avoid dangerous effects from tho
sudden bursting forth of so vast a volumo of
sound, notice will be given in Boston half an
hour in advance of the playing of the drum.
The city fire and church bells will sound a gene
ral alarm, as a signal for delicate women, chil
dren, nnd persons of weak nerves generally, to
prepare for tho occasion.

Fnlnl Riot in WnlcH Collision ItcUvecii tho
Troop and ilob.
The English pnpers of the 5th inst. contain
full reports of the riot in Mold, Flintshire, on
Wednesday, the 2d inst. Tho following is taken
from one of tlie London papers of the 5th:
A terrible riot linB occurred at Mold, in Flint
shire, by which four persons wore killed and
others were wounded. The accounts of tho
fray which have reached us are somewhat frag
mentary, but tlio following is a tolerably suc
cinct narrative of this inelaucholy affnir:
Recently some disorderly proceedings took
place in connection with a strike at the Lees
wood Green pit, near Mold. Notice had been
iriven of a reduction of wages, aud tho men.
entertaining tho notion that the manager of the
pit, Mr. Young, was the cause of the notice
being issued, set upon him and rather roughly
treated him. Last veek tlie colliers of the
Green pit, their numbers being swelled by
colliers from Copps, Ncrquls, Coed Talon,
and other places in the district, attacked
the manager's house, carried all his
furniture and placed it at the wharf
of the Padeswood and Coed Talon Branch Rail
way, with tlio intention of sending it off to
Birkenhead, or anywhere else out of the district.
Mr. Green, the manager of this part of the
London and Northwestern Railway Company's
line, however, on hearing what was about to
take place, packed oil all the empty trucks that
wero on the wharf, ami tlio consequence was
that tho goods had to be left on the spot all
night, lieing secured from damage, however,
Willi a liberal supply of tarpaulin.
Subsequently there .was great excitement in
Mold in consequence of William Hughes, a col
lier one of eight men against whom warrants
had been issued on the charge of assaulting Mr.
Young having been apprehended and taken
into eufctody. There were iu tlio town a large
throng of men, estimated at one thousand, with
sticks and clumps, threatening to rescue tho
prisoner. They waited outside the police station
for about two hours. The prisoner was being
conducted between three or four police olllcers
from the station to the County Hall, when the
greatest roughs and young people of the crowd
rushed upon them aud rescued the prisoner, who
vtiis at once conducted out of the town. Tlio
prisoner was thortly afterwards brought back,
and released on bail to appear next day.
Two of the eight colliers charged with assault
ing Mr. Young were on Wednesday brought
before the magistrates, and a determined attempt
was made by a great mob of pitmen aud others
to rescue them from custody. As there ap
peared every probability of tho police boiny
overpowered, a detachment of tho Fourth
Uegiment was scut for from Chester, and soon
orrived, under tlio command of Captain Blake.
The number of the assailants increased every
moment, and at length a determined attempt
was made to rescue the prUoners. Stones were
thrown in showers at tlio military aud police.
The telegraph office, iu which the police and
some of the soldiers took refuge iu charge of
the two prisoners, was broken to pieces and
made a total wreck. Scarcely a window of the
train on tho railway was left whole, but the pri
soners were conveyed Into one of the carriages
in safety. Tho riot act was read by Mr. C, B.
Trevor-Roper, and the military, after showing
great forbearance, commenced firing. Two per
sons were shot dead, aud two died afterwards.
One soldier was seriously hurt,and casualties ara
numerous.

fit Louis is as proud of Mike McCoole as of any
thing most dear to iu citizens, lie is a man of
wealth and standing in the community, his name ap
pears in the income-tax list, and his younfrand
beautiful wife this Is a veritable fact speaks
French and dances the (4ormau, besides having a
most excellent taste in millinery. It might bo of In
terest to state here that Mr. McCoolo wa born In
the city of Hallybofey, county of Donegal, Ireland ;
Is six leet ono-and-a-quartcr inches in his stock
ing feet, is forty-six inches around the chest,
weighed two hundred and lifty pounds before
training, and is by persuasion a most ardent Catholic,
McCoole was at one time a deck hand on a Missis
sippi steamboat, then a pugilist, and ia now tho pro
prietor of tine of the most elegant wlitsky shops In
St. Louis. He Is such a power In bt Louis that, when
Imprisoned In Indiana lor attempting to pound the
head on" Joe Cobnrn, hi Kxcellency Governor
Fletcher, of the Mate of Missouri, saw fit to tele
graph to Governor linker, of Indiana, to release him.
Atone time Mr. McCoole was, like General Grant,
a practical tanner, and followed that profession
lor a living. McCoolo has had high honors in
the prl.e-ilng, and when a boatman on the Mis
siPHij pi would never take impudence from
his fellows, however large they were in
frumc. He was born in sH7, and fought Ills first
buttle with a man named Hill Ulake, or "Dublin
Tricks," as his brother artists called him, In which
Mr. llliike went to grass In a most sclentlllo manner,
ii ml wua not heard of again. He next encountered a
Mr. Tom Jennings, whom he also annulled in the
most graceful manner, covering himself with blood,
onuses, npu glory, lie next met Mr. .josepn cobnrn,
a perfect t-avnnt, at Cecil, Md., in 1 Hrt3, and, after
they had amused themselves for au hour or so, it
as discovered that McCoole had no science what
ever, and the sclentlllo Cobnrn won tlio light.
McCoolo then matched himself with Hill I)avls,wliom
he beat to a farina jelly, and left him dying in a
heap. It was Mr. Davis' luck always to be
neaten to a jelly when he fought, but ho
rather liked Jelly. McCoole now tmd It out
with Aaron Jones, ono of the greatest Kngllsh prl.e
tlghters that ever visited this country, and who had
atone time the honor of being an orderly on Beaure
gard s stall'. This was a terrible tight for Jones, who
was veiy conlldent. Two of his rliis were fractured,
and the blow which knocked him out of time from
McCoole's left hand produced congestion of tho
brain, and terrible vomiting. Then came tho fizzle
between McCoole and Cobnrn in Indiana, both men
being arrested. Mnce then, ami previous to his
training. McCoole has steadily refused to light until
Allen made his appearance, aud ha practised
tlie German, and vended Bourbon whisky in
hU Louis, respected and honored by all who knew
him.
Allen.
Allen Is an Englishman, about 29 years of ago, and
Hist gluddeued has mother's eves hi that city famed
for cheap cutlery and brass ware Birmingham.
Allen, though a youn? man, is eminent for science,
and litis fought fourteen times. Of this number of
lights principally small ones, fought for sums
varying from W to i.'2.Y Allen won nine, lost three,
and two were drawn. Ho whipped lies the Giant
in Kngland, and had a draw with .Ion Goss. In
America, he knocked poor, unfortunate Bill Davis to
pieces. As 1 have before stated, Davis Is an itine
rant, pugilistic martyr, who frequents strange, out-of-the-way
places for the purpose of being pounded
to the consistency cf a jelly. There Is a big fellow in
tlie West, however, named Charley Gallagher, who
nut Allen In his last light, and knocked Mr. Allen
higher than a kite in three rounds. Thus it is again
Fliown that the race is not always to the swift and
the battle to the strong.
(In tlio W iiy to the Island.
This morning, about 8 o'clock. 1 was roused from
my numbers in Caroudolct street by a New York
pickpocket and rough, who desired to know, after
blessing my eyes heartily :
"fray, ain't you going to that ere strawberry pick
ing? If ye are, j st git, and tell the landlord yejll
settle when ye kiuii back ; he's rich."
I looked out and saw the gentle rough grinning at
me. He was fully prepared for his fele chau.petre.
He had eight pigs' feet and a half of a raw ham
wrapped up lootely In brown paper. Peslde.8 these
weapons of defense, he had a six-barrelled revolver,
a bottle of Western whisky, nnd a hugo knife, which,
he paid, he intended to use to butter his bread, but
I did not believe hitn. I got out or bed and settled.
1 met on the street leading to the lovee where the
steamboat Louisville lay one of those Urge Missis
sippi boats, and which was to carry us
to the light at least three hundred other
persons of Immoral appearance, all carrying
ptgH' feet or immense sandwiches In brown
paper parcels. They also carried revolvers and wero
destitute of hymn books. We were taken on board,
where we found about one thousand persons cursing,
swearing, drinking, playing cards, and boxing with
each other like playful kittens. Some of these gen
tlemen informed me that they were chorus-singers
engaged for the Boston Peace Festival, but that they
feared they would not be In time for Iho show.
Four or live other boats left St. Louis and the vici
nity for tho light, or strawberry festival, a they
called it, all loaded down with amusing young men
who diverted themselves by sundry lights on their
way down to Foster's Island In the Mississippi
river, twenty miles below the city and about ten
miles below the Jefferson Barrack's. Wo arrived at
Foster's Island after the hour of noon, and, I forgot
to say, picked up Messrs. McCoolo and Allen on
our way down the river. McCoolo looked fat and
slouchy and elephantine, as he always looks, and
was certainly not more than half trained. Ho was
too conlldent. Allen looked well and weighed about
one hundred and seventy pounds, whllo McCoole
was about two hundred aud five pounds weight.
The fight was unsatisfactory. Allen was the besj
man all through. When the referee can gut to a
place of safety he will publish his decision, which
will most probably be In favor of the plucky little
Englighiuan.

Wednotday, June In, 1VUH. I
Our local money market continues in favorable
contrast with that of New York city, where money
Is represented as having been very scarce yesterday
and the rates high. It Is quite possible that a con
tinuance of the stringency would lead to the trans
fer of currency hence to New York to secure the
higher rate of Interest, and no doubt we are credi
tors already to a largo amount, but so far the supply
is fully ample to the demands of all classes of bor
rowers, whose wants, however, appear to bo neither
very great nor urgent. There is not much specula
tive feeling in the market at the present time, which
ia rather a favorable circumstance tu the disturbed
condition of financial affairs.
Call loans aro quite active, ami the tendency of
tho rates Is upward. The usual figure Is 0 per cent.,
with exceptional cases above and below. Discounts
range between ka8 per cent, for llrst-class paper
only.
Governments are very dull and weak. Gold is
active, and steadily falling. The opening sales were
made at 1B7?,. i itatluns at 12 SI. weak.
The Stock market was moderately active this
morning, and prices generally were very well sua
taiucd. State and City loans were steady at pre
viously quoted rates. The Lehigh gold loan changed
hands at S3, Interest oil'.
There was considerable Inquiry for Reading Rail
road, and it changed hands at 4'J. 4:', b. o. ; Penn
sylvania Itallroad was disposed of at 47V; Lehigh
valley Kaliroad at M'lufiiP, ; Philadelphia and Kile
Railroad at U2,v, s.o. ; am) Nordstown Kaliroad at 6i.
Canal stocks were not much in request, and the
sales wero only in a small way at 117 for Lehigh
Navigation, lii'i was the best offer for Schuylkill
Navigation preferred.
In Bank shares there wero no transactions.
Patsenger Hallway shares were generally steady.
Chesnut and Walnut sold at 48. us was bid for Fifth
and Sixth ; 1HV for Thirteenth and Fifteenth, 27 for
Spruce and I'lne; 61 for West Philadelphia; aud 12
for llestonvlllo.

TIia New York Money Market.
Ercm the Herald.
"The course of tho stock market during the past
week has been such as to suggest serious inquiry as
to the real purposes of the cliques in the present
movements. That the current of speculation has
been really diverted, If not reversed, seems too evi
dent to be questioned. Tho grand 'hull' movement
which carried up prices so triumphantly through
out tlie spring was so successful and so widespread
that the veriest 'bears' were compelled to turn
around and go with the tide, while tho whole
Street vied with each other iu clutching at tho
sticks, which kept steadily rising. It Is an
axiom of Wall strett that when everybody is a
'bull' one qcar' can turn tho market. In such
a condition of the market everybody Is ready to sell ;
no one is willing to buy. Old operators shook their
heads, said prices were very high, that they were
carrying all they wished and that they would not
like to take any more. An over-gold market leads
to an upward turn In values, for the reason that tho
demand for stocks is greater than tho supply of
them. So, In a universal 'bull' market, stocks, par
ticularly after such a large advance in prices as that
which took place during the period from February
to June, are likely to tumble, for the reason that the
sellers are more numerous than the buyers, aud the
supply Incomes greater than the demand.
"The money market was again very active. At
the opening oi the inquiry the rates paid were seven
per cent., currency, and seven per cent., gold, with
the founer as the more exceptional ligure. Thence
there was a tteaily In aliening until alters o'clock.
The street money market wjs re-established on the
sidewalk in front of the Stock Exchange, The
highest quotable rate paid was three-sixteenths,
although as high as a quarter was reported. It will
be noticed that the ttoi k market went up in the face
of this stiingency, the best prices ruling just as the
demand was gem nil and pressing.
"The 'unloading' process is beginning to extend to
the gold ni'u kct, where there was qulto a sudden de
cline In the price to l!t7.'ii before the adjournment of
tie board. The fact is tho 'bulls,' who have been
holding bo long, in expectation of a heavy demand
for shipment to Kurope, have become tirtd of wait
ing, ct-pcrlnlly as the loreipn exchanges have weak
ened and arc more remoto fiom the specie shipping
point. Again thtyaro beginning to weary of the
speculation, as they have to pay such extravagant
rales as ten, twelve, and fifteen per cent, to have
their gold carrit d. Tin; Immediate Influence which
caused the weakness of gold to-day is the decline
in exchange, but the downward tendency
was assl8ttd by the Improved quotation for our
bonds in London. The imports art not so largely in
excess of the exports when bondB are Included In
the latter commodities as to warrant the apprehen
sion of an excessive demand for cash gold to settle
the balance of trade, while the political situation In
Kurope and at home is without any warlike symptom.
The impression is also strong that the Secretary of
tho Treasury, in whatever change he may make to
remedy the inequality of his gold sales and bond
purchases, will not reduce the former.
"The better supply of bond bills made by the Ger
man bankers against purchases of live-twenties on
foreign account, and the stringency in money,
weakened the market for foreign exchange, ami
rates in the afternoon became somewhat nominal.
It Is still a mooted question whether tho payment
of the July coupons held abroad shall be met by
gold shipments (or bills of exchange) or with bonds
shipped for reinvestments. The prime bankers were
asking lot)?, for long and 110 for short sterling, but
bills could be bought at Ki93(allO,V.
"Governments were steady in the forenoon, but
yielded to the activity of tho money market, despite
the buoyant effects of tlie Improvement In London."
