[ Special Correspon dence of the BF.R. ) No pluco In the world lias Enstor Sunday been celebrated with a higher appreciation of the spirit of the day than In this city , For the rich It was u day of now bonnets mid flue trappings ; for the poor , a day of Itnrd-bollcd eggs and pretzels. There Is but one New York , onu Fifth avenue , and one such sight In the world us this famous street presents on Easter Sun * clay. Yesterday the weather was perfect until the grand promenade wns over n crowded pavement of moving humanity , bright with now raiment , gny. llowcrs nnd nlnd countenances on both sides the nvenuo for nearly two miles. There wcro many hixndsomo and seine beautiful women ; but jvliy do so manV female * powder nnd rouge their fares ! By this rcpcllnnt fashion they neither excite the envy of their own sex nor the admiration of the other. This non-do- ccptlvo artificiality was a blotch upon the beauty of thu living panorama. Hardly had the sun climbed up the eastern Hky when th6 altars of Christendom twinkled with llghtn and the sweet breath of tlowors mingled with flouting Incense be fore the tabernacle of the risen Saviour. All the sorrowful walllngs of Golgotha were hushed , and the dark trappings of woo wcro 8trip | > ed from the temples. Through her thousand aisles and chunccls went the re joicing church in wonderful processions of ncarldt and purple , nml white and gold , The bolls clashed joyously hi the steeples , the choirs burst into wild chants , the lamps burned high In the sanctuaries nnd gleaming chalices were uplifted before the kneeling multitudes. A cloudless summer sky greeted thn Easier dawn and New York turned out of- doors ar rayed iu the splendors of fashion. The parks were crowded , the streets were pa geants of variety nnd the windows bloomed with ( lowers. Everybody seemed to take 011 the spirit of the day. From the godless man who had oaten hard boiled eggs at breakfast nml ventured forth in search of frolic to the muck girl returning from mass there was something suggestive of bright ness in every face. He WHS n tough pagan who did not wear n sprig of some sort. That Easter is a social event no man could doubt who saw the cafe lions sauntering to church , prnycv book in hand. Men whoso greatest , Joy is to sit iu the window of a club house and talk society scandal all thu year loiind , deserted their impious haunts and linult before the uplifted cross. Men of fin mire , bilious with greed , sat iu the frontscats of the churches. wiinm : TIIF.V WRST TO cituncii.

"Really , I'm glad I'm a Christian , " sigliod a beautiful woman ono afternoon last week She was not in church confessing her sins , but In Tiffany's looking with raptured eyes at the great array of Hushing diamonds , ru bles , emeralds and pearls , made into Ik-worn and birds and other pretty devices suggesting HID Eusterse.ison.

Mr. Frederick Vunderbilt spout several hours at Tiffany's Bolcctlng some pretty trillcs for his young wlfo. Onn of these was a new curd case of Italian enamel leather , with a Uttlo jewelled watch encir cled with forgot-mo-nots fastened In one corner. These card cases are among the extreme novelties and a lady carrying onu i-an tull the exact tlmo without searching for her watch. This Uttlo trillo cost fcWO and with it wont a- dainty bracelet of pearls. TUB ruimciits. Easter llllics , hyacinths , rosebuds and siniUxs covered the communion toblo and embowered tha pulpit at the church of the Messiah , nt the corner of Twenty-fourth btreot and Fourth uwnue , yostonlay , and thu baptismal font was likewise entwine' . ! with gracious harbingers of spring , A tender - dor touch of .sympathy was ombottloil in the wreath of Immortelles placed upon the font in memory of the pastor's bcilovod daughter , who died a year ayo. The Imudsoino now building recently com pleted by thn Mount Morris lluptlst church wus opened for public worship. It U situ ated on Fifth avenue , between Ono Hundred uml Tu only-sixth and Ono Hundred and Twenty bovewh streets , and is built of brick with handsome gray stone front , in tlio Uo- iminesimo stylnof architecture. The interior ,1s unusually lieht and bright , the front of the gallery being "extensively gilded and guarded by a brass railing. The icctorn is an exact counterpart of that iu thu London houscv of commons , Thu platform was decorated with palms and uhrubs , und bunks of llower * around , it added to the cheerful aspect. Dr. McUlytui delivered an Easter scraou last night boforft the Anti-Poverty s&cloty In the Academy of Music. In the course of his remarks ho said : "If wo have had sorrow , lot ns dry our tears and rejoice ; If our heart strings have boon lorn , let us believe it were in Justice , anil if our hearts have been cleft in twain , let us live the better for It. We of this so ciety have pledged ourselves to a doctrine that Is the very essence of His , that is the very essence of all religion. "it was not weariness that sent mo from the altars of the church to preach night after night on the stage of u theater. It was my "ovc of religion. So let us love all mankind ; ct us ask ti.o Father to help us. and if there be any misunderstandings , forget them and irny for our enemies. " All bright with the beauty of sunshine streaming through radiant windows was St. Patrick's cathedral In Fifth iwonuo yesterday - day morning. Scarcely In nny other Chris tian church of the United States could so vast u throng be brought together. The po lice turned away from the doors enough iieoplu to fill two ordinary churches. Num uers of pew owners were unable to reach llielr own seats , for nt the cathedral on hn- tortunl occasions n big crowd Is never well mndlod. After umss had begun scores came in through the sacristy , but had to stand while strangers tilled their pews. All the aisles were packed , nnd even the steps around the sldo altars were occupied. From flva to six thousand people- must hnvo been within the building. The Easter ralmont , the bright and tusUjful costumes of the la dles served to make the plcturo still moro pleasing. What need was there for decorations In such an edifice } The broad sanctuary nlono had a fuw. These were tall palm trees und brilliant evergreens , Easter lilies nnd groups if whlto geraniums , and n chaste effect was produced. A cluster of lights flanked the six big tapcr.M on the high alter , and around the tabernacle weru n few vases of glowing out flowers. The altars of the Ulesscd Vir gin nnd St. Joseph were decorated with the sumo simplicity and purity. The sermon wus preached by the Hov. Father O'Connor , S. .1. , of St. Xnvicr's. Heuthovon's ' mass in C is not often heard .n this city , perhaps on account of the severe demands ft makes on choir and orchestra. Mr. Pecher , however , Is equal to anything. This suhllmo composition , of nn essentially choral character , was rendered perfectly. The "ICyrlo Elcison , " n gruvo and pathetic choral prayer , disposed the gcongrogution tote to devotion. The low strings in the orches tra opened with < \ rir.h nnd subdued melody , nnd were followed by the soft , low tones of mingled voieo and instrument. Then the clarionets and bassoons took up the melodi ous strain. When the "Christc" wns reached thu most beautiful passage in thu number was fliiely.oxecuted by orchestra and chorus , The conclusion In unison was full of solemnity. The music of the chimes floated ont over many a largo congregation in old Trinity yesterday. Kov. Dr. Morgan Dlx , rector ol Trinity , assisted by Kovs. Henry A. Adams , Joseph W. Hill und Henry Hamnann , con ducted the various services. The chancel and sanctuary of the church were hand somely decorated with flowers , among which the enlla , lilies of the vnlloy and white hyn- cinths predominated , and the candles iu the the two big candelabra nt the sides of the chancel wcro all alight throughout thu morn ing and foienoon. Many persons were turned away from the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in the morning ing- What with the gleaming altar , the wild , sweet choruses , the swelling organ peals , the rolling kettledrums , tbo clashing of cymbals , the twinkling tapers , the sway ing procession , the clouds of incense floating up to the white , saintly statues : the sudden hushes and the solemn tolling of the bells , it would have taken n hard-hearted pagan to resist Uio Intluenccs of the great Christian paguont of triumph. Dr. Lyman Abbott preached In Plymouth church in the morning from the text , Ro mans , vi. , 4 "Thuroforo Are Wo Buried with Him by Baptism into Death ; That Like as Christ Wns Raised up from the Dead by the Glory of the Father , Even So We Also Should Walk in Nownuss of Life. " To the right of the minister's chair , and forming a sort of screen to the Uttlo table , was n floral vault , on the door of which were the words , "Easter Opened Heaven's Door. " A beautiful pillow ot tulips and tea roses rested on the front of the platform , facing the qrganlst. To the right and left to the very'edge of tlio"plutfoniT plants nnd flowers were arranged in almost every imaginable form of beauty. ' The gloomy gray nllgorical walls and pll lars of the big room in Masonio templewhore Kov. Hugh O. Pentecost preached to Unity1 cotwregatlon on the subject of "Leut und Easter , " presented n dismal contrast to the scone of floral profusion in almost every other place of worship. There was an appro priateness about the bare and bald appear * ancc of this assembling pluco , as it qulto bo- cauio the mood and spirit of the negative- minded preacher. Mr. Pentecost said ho didn't take nny stock in either Lent or Easter. They are foolish nnd pretentious observances , said he , and give too unbeliever the chance to use n good deal of justifiable surottsm at the oxpon.se of the church. For a man. to smoke live instead of ten cigars , and for a girl to heroically refrain - frain during forty days from the use ot clioc- elate caramels and bonbons , ho added , is not n procedure- command the respect of intel ligent people. "I can't see any more religion in fish than I can In meat , " quoth Mr. Pentecost , with a sidelong shot nt "tho Lenten exodus to Florida uvery year. "I think wo are better Christians for being well fed all the year round. True , religion consists of modera tion. " The callus , the tulip , the rose , sweet Jessa mines , japonicas , and almost every beautiful flower which the nursery supplies adorned the Brooklyn tabernacle yesterday. . The most conspicuous object was a huge cross which rested against the center of the organ nnd formed the background to the preacher. Composed of cullns and bordered with tulips , it was suggestive of purity even moro than of suffering. Over it wore the words , woven in flowers of a darker tint , "Ho is Risen. " BOCIKTV MAKliS MUIIV. | : A great attraction , indeed , is the fair at the now armory of the Second Battery on Broadway , between Fifty-second nnd Fifty- third streets.

Anticipating the return home of William 1C. Vandcrbilt , at his Fifth uvcnuo palnco a stuff of servants have been preparing the house for his reception , but the gpnurai ap pearance of things will not have uttered very much from what It was bo fore his de parture. Numberless boxes hnvo arrived , but they are not opened , and the priceless treasures which they contain the laces , the bric-a-brac and the pictures collected abroad will remain hidden until they nro opened under the supervision of their owner , In the meanwhileMnltro Josef and his two assistant chefs have not boon Idle. The bat- Uirio do cuisine has boon unpacked and the implements of the cult placed In their proper jlaees. Josef has ransacked the markets and declares himself fairly well acquainted with their resources and ready nt a few'momcnts' notice to begin operations. Ho Is disap pointed In our markets ho says. Many kinds of fish which nro common , or much prized abroad are not to bo found here , for instance the turbut and the sale. Our mutton , ho nd- mlts , is good but our beef and our fowl nro superior to those abroad. To the Blue Point oyster ho renders all praise , Josef had last night tried nn American dinner , which wns not satisfactory. Ho did not like buckwheat cakes.

A certain famous traveler described nn old time sailing voyage as developing hum.m nature In this ratio : First week Gentlemen , has anyone seen my hulroiU Third week What blankety blank rascal has lugged off my tooth brush ! It may have been this weariness of each other's ' society that cut short the Vanderbilt trip , und it rnny have been the gastronomic hopes raised In the Vanderbilt stomach by the seductive $10,000 cook , M.

With the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt and their two sons and throe daughters on the Cunnrd steamer Um- bria for u several months' tour abroad , the annual spring exodus of Americans for for- ciun shores commenced and thu bull was sot rolling in real earnest. The distinguished family arrived on the steamer's wharf an hour before the sailing time of the steamer , and when the huge ves sel swung out into the stream upon her long voyage their costly rugs , chairs , ulstors , newmarkets nnd nil the paraphernalia of a millionaire's family en voyage were snugly stowed away in the staterooms. MCIVINO 8.0X,000 : ) 1-OUND3. Everything Is ready to start the big Brighton Beach hotel on Coney Island on its wonderful Journey. Eight or moro power ful locomotives will begin to snort and pull , and it is expected that 8,000,000 pounds of hotel will follow them. The sight of a build ing 4fiO feet long by 1150 deep , with numerous lone extensions , and with its four s.ories aug mented hero and there by lofty towers and cupules moving in onu mass along the ground will be at least interesting and novel. The moving of such a structure in its entirety was never undertaken before. The engineers have taken great precaution againbt any nicking or wrenching of the walls or Moors , and assert that if the powers of the locomotives can bo applied equally and very gradually the great great structure will be moved easily and witli perfect safety. It is proposed to give the hotel a ride of 000 feet inland. At that distance , it is thought , it will bo safe from its old enemy , the sea , which year uftcr year has been knocking the sand out of it , or rather from under it. The waves hnvo worn away its foundation until only a few spiles stand between them und their long for prey. On these spiles immense beams were laid and regular railroad tracks uuilt to get thu hotel out of the wet. The tracks number twenty-four , and on 110 iron Hut cars run iu under its floor the hotel will make the excur sion. The building does not rest directly on the cars but on great timbers , which , ns the tracks- are only about nineteen feet npart , make u firm bod. It is , of course , absolutely level , us an uuuvcnncsu would imperil thu whole structure. The tracks , except two , run out about two hundred feet , where , if the scheme works , the hotel will take a brief rest before it sits down and laughs at the sea. The two center tracks run out to the main truck of the Brooklyn & Brighton Beach railroad. On them the locomotives will do the pulling. On each track them will bo four iron horses , or mord if necessary , bound securely to gether ana attached to the iron Hat. cars under the hotel by heavy chains. These chains will not lead directly from the cars to the cnirines , but will run from the cars to iron pulleys ut the ends of the respective tracks and buck uualn to the cuVs , whcro they will pass through another pulley , and thence to the locomotives. Thus will each flat cur bo pulled along IU own track as if attached to the locomotivu itself. DII. TAI.MAOK'8 TWO WATOIIK-i. At the eloso of the service yesterday morn ing Dr. Talumgu pulled out of his pocket n magnificent new gold watch , Ho had just received it from ono of ins congregation for an Easter gift , "Tho story is interesting , " said the doctor , "unit I meant to tell it to the congregation , but I changed my mind.
