    GREAT DAT AT riniorcEyoar.j
/nankn ration of the Nest{ Gymnasium..-
. AMlresses, by Pr. mildew' Netlank. Dr.
Hard Parker, and , Chancellor
• Greene.,
Vei , herday waStlie: opening day of the spring
term ofPrineeton College, as well as the Mau
g,mation-day of the new gymnasium, whiolt
has been erected at the cost of Messrs. Ilobs!rt
Bonner and H. Margnand.' Early in the morn
ing the friends and al maid of the. College I
gait pouring in, and ut 11 o'clock assembled to
gether with the students in the First Presbyte
rian Clinch, where Dr: Willard Parker, of this
city, was ,to deliver' a lecture, on the
lass of health. He gave the stu
dents t , ome ^. 'very good advice as to what
they should eat, as well as when,, and
where, and in concluding, after toiching on
the great value of the gymnasium to Prince
ton Collqei said for years hereafter the name
of Bonner and Maryland Will lite as friends
of education and of their:fellow-men. It has
been said that the man who has made, two
blades of grass to grow where only one grew
-before, is a benefactor of the human race.
But Bonner, who, from a generous apprecia-'
tion of the beauties of the horse, and of the
hest methods of calling out and developing
his best points, has also learned the value of
physical exercise for man, and has so freely
given in order that its advantages may be .en
joyed by the students Of this college—he is
more than a benefactor, he is a " conservator
of his fellow-men." The students then ad
journed until after dinner.
OPENING OF THE I:T3INASIU:kI
In the afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the students,
alumni, Professors and visitors assembled in
front of the chapel and forming in a proces
sion, headed by Dr. McCosh, arm-in-arm
with Mr. )(fanner, • marched around to the
. gymnasium. The . newly-erected building is
of a light-colored stone with a high renaissance
slate-roof, presenting from the outside a very
pretty appearance. On the ground floor
there are six line bowling-alleys of South
American cedar, and a number of bathrooms.
On the floor above is the gymnasium proper,
fitted up with horizontal and perpendicular
bars, pulling and rowing weights,
ladders, trapezes,, jumping boards and
horses, and every • apparatus in use
for gyninastic purposes. The wood
work is of the finest„ and the whole internal
arrangement is decidedly as pleasing to the
eye as the external. To hare charge of the
gymnasium. and instruct 'the students, Mr. •
George Goldie, of -New York; has linen em
ployed, lie has a splendidly-developed frame,
and' belonged . formerly to the Montreal Gym
nastic Club and the New York Caledonian
Club, and. from' both carried off a large num
ber of prizes.. Along one side of the gymna
sium there is gallery, which was yesterday
crowded. with ladies. • In the hall below there
was a great crowd of students. When the
procession entered the building, the most dis
tinguished visitors and the Faculty took pos
sessiOn of the platform. There were present
Chancellor George C. Green, Messrs. John A.
Stewart, Henry M. Alexander, and Pot Hal
stead, Gen: Halstead, of Newark, Col. Post,
and many others.
Dr. Metlesh spoke as follows :
The highest object of our meeting this day
'is. to, show our gratitude to our friends.
Parents and guardians have committed 330
youths to. our care, 125 more than in any year
since the founding of the College. Friends
have generally placed fundO at our disposal to
enable us to carry on our work. I shall not
dwell on' the sums that have been contributed
atnn earlier date, such as $60,000 by General
Halstead for erecting an observatory, and the
570,000 suhseribed to endow the office and
furnish the house 'of the President; but allow
me a >`e* minutes to speak of the gifts we
have received in the 'last year and a quarter.
I must always feel a special pride in
the first donation , after my arrival in
this country. In my inaugural ledthre •
uttereda few. sentences on the benefit and
importance of physical culture. There was
present a gentleman, at the time personally.
- unknown to me, with a warm Irish heart
burning in his bosom, which could not resist
the appeal made, and as he always executes
what. he intends, he at once intimated' his
willingness to give $lO,OOO to assist in building
a gymnasium. There was another gentleman
present with a fine academic taste, cherished
in -the bustle of a business life, and with a
heart equally capable of being moved by gen
erous sympathies, and he engaged to give a
like Sum. l t w as a large sum to give for a
gymnasium -$20,000; but the gentlemen meant
to do a handsome thing, and, without any one
urging them,. they enlarged their gift, and
.have erected a structure which has cost $30,000.
In conclusion, Dr. McCosb said:
" But our-present duty is to show our 'ap.
preciation of the great kindness we have re
ceived from Mr. I3onter and Mr. Marquand.
All who knoW him, love Mr. Bonner for his
noble and generous heart, ever going forth in
deeds of kindness, many of which the world
never knows.' He has furnished to the world
a remarkable specimen of the perfection of
physical training in Lis Wonderful horse
Dexter. And I rejoice to say that he never
races his horses for any but a good purpose.
I like the man. I like big warmth of heart.
I have learned in my intercourse with liitn
to cherish the deepest regard for Mr. Mar
.quand for his refinement of mind, and culti
xated literary tastes cherished in the midst of
it busy mercantile life. His interest in this
College arises from the circumstances that he
looks upon it as fitted to promote the intelli
gence and culture of the country.
~A t our• invitation they have favored us with
their presence to-day, and the student who
cheers the very Proposal to have a gymnasium,
will give a double cheer at its completion, and
a triple cheer to the two friends who have
°ratified their `wishes to an extent Which they
never contemplated."
The words had barely left the speaker's
mouth before the 'building rang with the
cheers of the 'students, alai after the cheers
came the phizz - and• groan, known as the
"Nassau Hall Rocket."
SPEECH 01101:EIrr BONNlin,
Mr. McCook, at the : conclusion of Chan-.
cellar (ireen's 'address, led forward Mr.
Bonner, wire was received with loud cheers.
He spoke as follows :
1 expected to be called upon for'a speech.
In fact I was notified that I should be; and
what is somewhat item:nal with speeelf- -
makers, if their own statements are to be
credited; I have come fully prepared tin. the
occasion. And the necessity which I have
felt for tins preparation, mid the innumerable
shortcomings which I have observed in pub
lic discourses ; hav6 suggested to me that there
is no more useful lesson which I could pos
sibly impress upon the minds of the young
gentlemen here than the importance of pre
paration. Your whole business In college,
_my ,young friends, is pnparation for the duties
of life—preparation in body, preparation in
mind. You are training here, and it' the
training is neglected, you will feel the great
disadvantage of that neglect throughout the
whole race of life. To those of you who are
to be professional men, and whose duty in life
wilt consist in great part in public speaking, I
wish to urge most emphatically, most feel
ingly, the absolute necessity of preparation.
Spare, oh spare. your future bearers the
tedium, the dullness, the weariness which re
sults from the want of preparation. Be pre
pared ; and then—provided always you have
some natural stud in you—you can speak
briefly and to the point. This is the great de
sideratum in public speaking. The next thing
to learn is—and all that I have to say on that
point I Wm press into one line—leave off wlien.
you have done, as I do now."
Mr. Marquand Succeeded Mr. Bonner, and
spoke to this eflect. Ile had long felt that
something td the kind for the development of
the physical powers of students was most re
quisite •at Princeton, and when he heard
what Dr. MuCosh said on his inauguration,
and the liberal offer made by Mr. Bonner, he
at once stepped forward himself and made a
like offer. 'tin.
THE COOKS
Cooke at the Toombs Police Court. N.
What lie Intends to Do—Hlo Family.
The Tribune has the following:
.Yesterday morning the Rev. Horace Cooke
made his appearance at the Tombs Police
Court, under the escort of Patrolman Mount
joy of the Second Precinct. .lie had to a cer
tain extent recovered his equanimity, but was
very reticent. Mr. David G. Croly, Of the
World; whom the prisoner had assaulted in the
publication (Alice of that journal on the pie.
~tugs evening, and who hail caused his arrest,
did not appear to make a complaint, and
Justice . Cox directed that the priSoner be
detained for a time, in order to give Mr. Croly
time to appear and mike complaint if hechose
to.do so. Itotindstuan Barrett held a short
conversation with Cooke. The latter declared
most emphatically that Miss Johnson came
back pure as when she departed. 11 e
seemed to lay particular stressn this stat,i
nient. When askol why he had' deserted hk
fainily and taken away Miss Johnson, and,
what possible reason, lie could offer for his eon
duct, lie hung his head and seemed unable to
make any reply. At 11 o'ciocic, no complain- ,
ant having appeared, the magistrate directed
that Cooke be released, and he left the, court
room 01 company with some friends._ It is
understood that the friends of Mr. Cooke pre
' vailed upon Mr. Croly not to make' complaint.
Mr. Cooke left the Tombs in company with
a friend and :walked up Broadway some dis•.
lance, where they entered a restaurant and
had dinner. „He was quiet in manner, and be
trayed none of the frenzy which he has shown
since his guilty flight. He told this friend that
he would not eommit violence on himself
or any one else, that he would seek some place
where he was unknown, and so soon as he
could acquire means of subsistence and regain
a position he would' send for his wife and
child. He was _registered at the Stevens
House down in Bowling-green, instead of
French's, while Miss Johnson was at the
Everett House. He saw her but three
times during the time of their absence, and on
those occasions only for a few minutes. He
said that compunctious visitations commenced
the instant he had taken her to 'the Everett
House, and he then left her and roamed
through the streets of the city. During this
conversation be was in a composed frame of
mind - Wednesday evening when he arrived
at his bottle he acted madly, grinding his teeth
and biting his lips till they were covered with
blood. He said he was in the direst agony the
night of his imprisonment, and Dr: Fishblatt
who saw him then said that unless pacified soon
he would be a raving maniac in twenty-four
hours. Other phytneians subscribed to the
same opinion. While home he threw himself
on his with, and cried in loud tones, " I love
you, Hester, you know I love you." He
Jumped up and Own in the room in a wild
way, and only at one time did his voice as
sume a natural tone, and then he said, " Well,
it's all over, it's all over." No sooner had he
uttered this than he rushed off into his exces
sive demonstratidits again. His wife told
'our reporter that for a week ' before
be made his exit with Miss Johnson
he showed a strange restiveness.
He used to run up and down stairs at intervals
of a few minutes, wander through the different
rooms, and one evening Mrs. Cooke counted
nine times in which Mr. Cooke went out
the door and in again, and when out he would
remain but a few minutes.- For two or three
• days the Week before he had. scarcely spoken
a word, had eaten nothing, and smoked Con
tinually. He said he was depressed, and when
his wile said, "Why, there is nothing for you
to worry over; you have everything you can
wish," ne would shake his head solemnly.
The parsonagii;looked sadly desolate last
evening; everything has been packed up pre
paratory to the'lldboval of the family. The
floors were bare, and the scene was painful,
The extensive library of Mr. Cooke is taken
by the traveling companion of Mr. Cooke
while in Europe to be held in trust for the
son, Baldwin, whose education this intimate
friend of the unfortunate clergyman has taken
the special supervision of. Mrs.' Cooke will
seek the retiracy of a secluded hemp with her
mother. \ The church over whiCh her husband
presided-has presented her with a handsome
nurse, and in her wretchedness. she has the
sympathy Of numerous friends.
Another letter from Miss Johnson was
found, wherein she asked her pastor to take
her away with him. She said she would go
' with him. All these letters Mr. Johnson now
holds.
Another note, along with au orange, was
stealthily put in through the basement-window
on Christmas Eve, directed to Mr. Cooke.
Other little attentions have been, bestowed on
the clergyman and the opinion among the'
church people is that she has not been faultless
in her conduct. Yesterday the parsonage was
besieged by reporters ; and an ' officer was de
tailed to prohibit the annoying calls.
Both families, so severely afflicted, seek for
a cessation of further discussion in the case,
and have , been counseledlo , say nothing more
in reference thereto.
Mr. Cook said that, since he had not been
confronted by the brothers or the father of
the wronged lady, he would not pay the
penalty for hisrmsdoing to any other mortal.
lie courted the vengeance of the Johnson
family; and would gladly have had his re
compense apportioned him by the 'brothers
or family. But since they dealt leniently. he
seeks to live anew.

for success. •
A good index of the prosperity nod wealth of the

found in the fart that the Company report overa•tnil
