THE JUBILEE.
All Ifcaton Jubilant-Tho . Second
Dayof tho Hubbub-Tho Itecep
tion of President Grant,
and a High Old Time.
The Performance in the
Coliseum.
from Our Own Correspondent
Boston, Juno 16. Tho second day of the
IfTcnt festival brought with it a new sensation.
President Grant arrived here early this morning,
accompanied by Generals Bates and Underwood,
of Governor Claillin's staff. Ho was met at the
depot by bis Honor the Mayor and the City Com
mittee, and was driven In an open barouche to
the St. James Hotel. At D) the Boston School
Regiment was reviewed by the President. At
10-20 the President was driven to the State
House in a baronche drawn by six horses. The
carriage was flanked by a guard of cavalry. At
the State House the usual spcoeh-maklng
and hand-shaking was gono through
with, and the President was then
tscorted to the Boston Highlands, where lie re
viewed about eight thousand troops under com
mand of Major-Uencral B. K. Butler. At the
Coliseum, meanwhile, the rehearsal for to-day's
concert took place. It was reported early this
morning that the crowd to-day at the Coliseum
would be immense, and report In this instance
proved to be true; for at 3 o'clock, the time
for the bcprtnulng of the concert, the vast edi
fic was perfectly jammed. There must have been
fully 40,000 people present. Shortly after three
the President and Admiral Farrngut and staffs
entered the building. Mr. Zerrahn gave the sig
nal, and the if till chorus and orchestra performed
'See the Conjuring Hero Coir.cs," the audience
cheering most enthusiastically. After this nine
cheers were -given for the President, amidst
waving of handkerchiefs, President Grant, by
the way, waving one of the largest handker
chiefs in the crowd. When quiet I'.ad been rc
etorcd.the day's programme began u.lth Nlcolai's
Festival Overture, based on Luther's .choral, "A
strong castle Is our Lord," performed by the
chorus, orchestra, and organ, under tke baton of
Mr. Zerrahn, who was the conductor for the
day.
The overture, a splendid work, was finely
rendered, especially the introductory ekorus.
This was followed by two choruses from tho
2esiah, "Glory to God iu the highest," and
the glory of tiie Lord." The effect of thtso
master-pieces of choral composition was superb,
and have never been surpassed in the worliL
Miss Phillips next made her appearance and
was cordially received. She sang; an aria from
Mozart's Clemruxa di Tito, with accompani
ment of a small orchc4ra, and it is but just to
eay that it was done exceedingly well.
The chorus next sang "He Watcheth Over
Israel," from Mendelssohn's Elijah, iu an ad
mirable manner. The pianos and fortes were
observed finely. In fact, tho rendering of this
composition was superb.
This was followed by Mme. Parepa-Rosa's
iinging of ''Let the Bright Seraphim," with
trumpet obligato, by Mr. Arbuekle. This
performance elicited great applause, and an
encore was insisted on and given.
During the repetition of this piece a photo
grapher took a picture of the audience, or rather
a part of the audience, including that soetion iu
which the President sat.
The first part of the programme was then con
cluded with Handel's "See the Conquering Hero
Comes," the introductory duet being sung by
thirteen sopranos and twelve altos.
The first part being finished, President Gi ant
was conducted to the conductor's stand, and
immense cheering followed, while the guns sta
tioned on the side of the Coliseum were fired by
the electrical apparatus In the building.
After this Mr. Gilmore took the baton, amidst
much applause, and at the general request of
tho public repeated the "Star Spangled Banner"
ana tne "Anvil Chorus." These were performed,
as in vestcrdav's Drofrram me. with
obligato, and the firemen beating tho one hun
dred anvils with admirable precision. The great
popularity of Verdi was shown in tho over
whelming and almost deafening applause which
followed the "Anvil Chorus," President Grant
oining with a will In the signs of approbation.

Such nn emuu.: .

was ho resisting, and the rei"on, was gven
amidst even greater arplauso luau be) ore.
The extra performances and the gfeelt anxiety
of the spectators to catch occasional glances of
the President, prolonged tho performance con
siderably beyond the time originally Intended
for it; and It became necessary to curtail tho
programme somewhat. Instead, therefore, of
the entire Symphony of Schubert's, only two
movements the andante cou moto ' aud the
finale were played. Tho andanto was un-
loubtedly the best played of the two. As a
hole, however, the symphony failed to make
.iny impression, owing partly to the length of
he programme and partly to the enthusiasm
receding its performance; for, as you know,
:after every storm there is a calm. This was fol
lowed by "The marvellous works from Haydn's
'reatlon, and tho concert then concluded with
"The Heavens are Telling." Both these pieces
were finely rendered, the solo iu eaeh being
given by tho following series of geutlemen:
Sopranos. Mrs. IT. M. Smitti, Mrs. Sophia Mozart,
Hiss L. M. dates, Miss Annie M. Granger, Miss A. L.

Thus ended tho second day s performance of

Wliilo the concert was going on In the Coil

frowd of people. It is estimated that more than

MKK-ntin okttk Fhanki.in Ivptitutr A regular
meeting of this .Institute was held last evening, Mr.
J. V. Merrick, the President, In the chair. After tho
usual business, lie Kesidcnt Secretary, Professor
Morton, in his report on "Novelties in the Arts," In
troduced the tsiiaw and Justice pumping engine,
which was then .scribed by Mr. Thomas Shaw as
follows:
"The ppl!ances for pumping water are perhaps
more numerous than any ot her apparatus for accom
plisliinga Binglu purK)se, and it might naturally be
supposed that modern pumps could neither be
cheapened jior simplified to any great eytent, for the
reason that, the hydraulic engineering talent of the
world, for the last half century, has been spent In
Improviug pumping engines; yet, notwithstanding
the Improvements, the pump I am about to explain,
when construf-Aed or large size, can be furnished at
less than one-half the cost of any other pumping
engine, will perform the same dutv, and possesses
not a tenth of Uie complicated apparatus.
"The engine Is constructed In tills wise: Two he
misphere are untied by bolts. Between these is a cot
ton duck aud gum diaphragm, clasped In the tf ntre
by a metal disc, from wUch descends a spindle,
which controls the Admission of steam by a valve in
the lower part.
"Inlet and outlet pipes for air or water are pro
vided In the upper pan, and au Inlet for a condens
ing water-jet Is placed In the lower half, as also uu
outlet for condensed w ater.
"The operation of this apparatus Is then slmplv as
follows: Steam being admitted below the dia
phragm, forces it up, and drives out whatever is in
the upper compartment by the proper outlet-pipe.
"Then water being Injected, and the steam con
densed, the diaphragm comes down by reason of
atmospheric pressure, which tills the upper part
.with water or air. In saying upper and lower part
we allude to the entire space above and below the
diubhragm, which practically Implies the entire ca
paity of the vessel as the ilexible diaphragm moves
from contact Willi one surface to contact with the
other."
There wos also exhibited the vapor stove of Mr.
I). II. Lowe, in which benzine or gasoline vapor is
employed as a fuel.
A very ingenious broom and tool-holder by Mr. J.
G. Powell, manufactured by Frauk B. Judd & Co.,
was also shown.
Various engineering works and mechanical Im
provements were then deperibed, and some pictures
presented by Mr. William Sangdonhelm were shown
in the lantern. Among these an Instantaneous view
of a dog's head elicited much admiration.
Oiiitcaky. At a meeting if the Commercial Ex
change AsKaciatl .n, held to-day, Mr. J. A. llluk;,
Vice-President, in the chair, the following preamble
and resolutions, submitted by General Charles M.
l'revost, were adopted:
Mlnrnui, in the inticmtahln rutins: of Providence, our
lute friend and associate, W. 1. Miarrerd, has been re
moved from our niidtt by death, and whereas, he was ever
regarded as a highly OHteemed luembur of our association,
which deeply feels his loss,
Nrmlrtd.l. That while e recognize in his death the hand
of Him who doeth all tilings well, we cannot withhold
some public expression of our sorrow for the departure of
one fo long known and so much respected as a member
of our association.
Xri.iilcrit.2. Mindful of the fact that in the private and
sociul circle in which he moved his absence will be still
more deeply felt, we feel call ml upon to tender our sincere
condolence to his family in their bittor atltiction.
