The Otcat Naval itcvlcw. 1SS7 by Jiiinct OimlmleiiurJ ( ( PonrHMoumJulys ; ) . ( New York Herald Cable Special to the Bin.J : The naval re view came elf this afternoon. It was a splen did success. 'Iho weather was beautiful , a clear sky , calm sea and the wind lUlit and from the south-cast , enough of It to lift the smoke from the thousands of steam cralts that dotted the bay for ten miles in every dl rection. The queen was three-quarters of an hour behind time , and at a quarter to 4 , In stead of 3 as arranged , the Victoria and Al bert , with the royal ensign at the mainmast , steamed slowly out across tlio bay. As the queen's yacht came in sight , the yards vvero manned and each of the 1-S ships of the Splthcad fleet fired a salute of twenty-ono guns. The result of the tremendous cannon ading Is Imaginable All the ships wore in position exactly as arranged in tlio olllcla ! programme , and your correspondents were on board 11. M. S.

Tlio sight from the Crocodile was splendid. The members of parliament and their wives , fam ilies and country cousins filled the vast troop ship to overflowing. As wo passed the Shan non several members , Including Mr. O'ICclly , pointed out the ship as the ono that ordered tbo Fenian ling to be tout down from the yacht some weeks ago oft tlio Irish coast , and the owner has now brought action lor 1,000 against the captain. Wo gave tremendous cheers for the queen as the royal yacht passed us. We afterwards fell In line just behind the Euphrates and got back to Portsmouth at 11 , right after a glorious dinner on board , at which , howevIT , there were no speeches. The entire coast line for twenty miles on cash side of Poitsmouth was lined by hundicds of thousands of spectators .standing on tip too to try to catch a glimpse of the royal yacht.

The board of admiralty were much pleased with the splendid success of tlio day. The naval review can give no idea of the real lighting strength ol the licet. The enormous troops ships were certain ly the most imposing part of the show. Tlio Colllngwood , for Instance , with her enor mous steel guns , looks magnificent besides ono of these great , white gossamer-like troops.andyct the Collingwood could destioy half the fleet that was reviewed to-day by us. These vast mastodons of the sea are all un der vvaU'r and make very little better show than the torpedo llotlllas that skip and squirm about llko microbes of the ocean. The board of admiralty talked a great deal during the review about the proposed Carrow Ironclad and the possible Introduction of the Canow typo Into the British navy. The plans of tlio Barrow battle ship have been made the subject of speclsl study at the admiralty. Ono of tlio most distinguished members of the admiralty told me if the ColIiiiKWOod were at any point bet ween Coney Island and Fort Lafayette , Eho could , In case of war destroy Iho entire city of New York in less than two hours.

Xext th Alva was a largo French cavotto , then a 111 tin 1'rench dispatch boat , and then a Gormat filed cruiser. On the Isln ot Wight side o us were over HOC yachts of all kinds and de Rcriptlons. Among them 1 noticed tne star and stripes Hying from the schooners Foi tunn , with Henry llovoy , Charles Longfol 1d low.

Just ' -bqforo ' the , roy yacht entered the lines of the Iron cluls the queen turned to her left and looked fur fully live minutes at tlio Alva , Vandorbllt's ' yalit , that by special permission of the admiralty had been allowed to take up her position , not with the yachts , but the foreign mon-of-war , The queen , as tlio Victoria and Albert passed near the Alva , asked several questions about tier tonnage and speed , and seemed very much interested In her. As wo passed be tween the lines of the lingo iron elad9 , lookIng - Ing llko so many lingo lion sphinks , the sight was magnificent. The masts and sides vvero lined \\itlibliionnd white sailors , and ring ing cheers burst from each as wo came near. . When wo came to the Devastation the queen descended fiom the brldgo and stood on the quarter deck just aft of the cabin. She looked very Intently at the Devastation , which , however , showed no signs of its collision with the Ajax , as the hole In her bows Is far beneath the water line. Wo then steamed slowly down to the end of the line and passed the two huge live- mastod monsters , the Argincourt and Mlna- taur. Wo then turned slowly and passed the torpedo llotlllas. At 0 o'clock wo anehoied nearly opposite Admiral Willis' llugship , the Indexible. The quenn sent for Admiral Willis , Freemantlo , Hewitt and Ualrd , and Commodores FlUroy and Maikham. In twenty minutes a steam launch brought this bevy of admirals In thuir smalt , snow-white steam launches alongside the Victoria and Albert. The quern received them on the quaiterdeck of her yacht , and said a pleasant word to each one of them. Tins queen then told Ad miral Willis that she would like to have all the commanders of the ships presented to her at once. This was Immediately signalled , In half an hour the 123 captains wore tiling ono by ono over the side ot the Victoria and Albert , and were received by the queen exactly as If at a levee at llucklngham palace. At half past wo weighed anchor , steamed back again through the fleet , another royal salute boomed lorth , and vve reached Comes bay at half- past 7. The queen was In splendid spirits and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The queen drove at once to the Osborno house and dined at half-past 8 on the terrace , where the entire fleet and magnificent Illuminations were visible. DnrATi.s OF Tin : nuvir.vv. PoiiTSMOi'TH , July 2.1 ? . I Press. I W. K. Vanderbllt's yacht , the Alva , was con spicuous in the marine procession to Spithuad , and was beautifully decorated with flags. The sccno at Portsmouth was ono of extreme animation. Hun dreds of private craft of every descrip tion , all handsomely decorated and well irclghtcu with gaily dressed people ple being anchored here. It looked like a gigantic marine picnic. The Uoiinte Doon carried scores of Americans. The crowds alloat and ashore were enormous. On an lying at Portsmouth dock yard the favored ones embaiked on boaid the troop ship appointed to carry them from hero and from Southampton to Splthcad. The first troop ships to le.ivo with guests vvero two huge Indian liners from Southamptonwhich excited much admiration. Numeious large steamboats afforded the general public an opportunity to witness tlio review Irom the sea. The vessels participating In the pa- tceant as naraders numbered rj8 pennants and included three squadions of ironclads and cruisers , aggregating thhty-foui vessels ; seventy-live torpedo boats , gunboats and it on defense ships , divided Into live llotlllas ; six training ships and thirteen troop ships. Portsmouth and the South sea have been thionged foi days past In anticipation of the jubilee naval review fixed tor this afternoon at Splthead. The oiowds vvero Im- mcn elv augmented this morning by the ar rival of Innumerable visitors from all parts of the country , who came by special tiains from London and other centers. Good positions for observing tlio display are all well occupied. The weather could not be more favorable. There ! ; > a bright sunshine , and a light bree/e la blowing. Kvorvbody is in holiday attire , and the gay dress and splendid uniforms give the crowded thoioughfares a brilliant appear- anre. Special trains brought down , trom London the loids of the admiralty , members ol the house of lords and commons and numerous repre sentatives of the foreign legations.

Dlxon , the ice cream manufac turer , and John P. llyan In Princess bay yesterday has caused n sensation In .Now York and vicinity , where Mr. Dlxon's name was known to almost every man , woman and child. At last rcpoits Mr. Dlxon's body had not been found. There vvero three men In tke party , Dixon and Uyan In one small boat nnd the third man , named Smith , In another. They were fishing about two miles from the Statcn .Island shore. Suddenly a squall arose followed by rain nnd lightning. Mr. Smith says : "Suddenly I felt as though I had had a heavy blow on top of the head , and that Is the last 1 knew lor a long time , I heard no thunder and saw no lightning. When 1 came to 1 was lying on the bottom of the boat. 1 was dazed alid confused , and It was a min ute or moic before 1 noticed anything wrong with tlto oilier boat. Then I saw it was lilled with water and its gunwales lull to the level of the sea and there was no ono visible In It. 1 got up my anchor as quickly as possible and went to it. Mr. Dlxon was now here to be soon and Mr. Hyau was hanging head down out of the boat in the water. Ho was nearly stripped of his clothing , and ho hung only by a remnant of his trousers which had caught In some way on the boat. It i allied so hard 1 could only see a little dis tance around me. 1 hold fast to the body by the wrist and shouted with all my power for help , but it was of no use , It was two miles to land and the storm drowned my voice. 1 managed at last to get an oar In my right hand and holdinir Mr. liyan's body by the wrist with my li > lt , started to paddle to shore , towing the corpse behind me. 1 made little progress and 1 stopped every now and then to Miont v\ith all my strength for help , and 1 must have worked in tins way lully three quarters of an hour. Finally 1 saw a boat putting oil and 1 knew 1 bad been heaid. It was Kenjamln Westcott who heard me first and ho hold me fast as he could. The storm had all blown over now. Following Mr. Westcott , three colored men came out In another boat. Thecoloied men did not want to take the body out of the water on account of the coroner , thinking they might bo violating the law. I Insisted and we got it into the boat. 1 was so ex hausted by the woik and the shocu that 1 could do nothing more. 1 lay back in my boat and they towed me ashore. " Mr , Dixon s body was no where to be Been. The boat was towrfd into the shore and drawn up on the beach near where Mr. Uvnn's body was. The boat was split slightly in the bottom nnd the inside was torn loose. When the boat was bailed out two 10 cent pieces , Mr. Uyan's knife , a shirt stud and an Ivory sleeve button were found among the hsh that were lying in the bottom. Mr. i'van was also In tlio ice cream business in Now York and had made a considerable fortune. He was a large , fine looking iiinii ot about sixty. Ho leaves a widow and live childicn. Air. Dlxon was about forty-two years old. Ho leaves a widow ami two daughteis. Ho possessed extensive means , His business signs In tlio cltj and country are everywhere and his cures were legion. Lviii : ! . The body of Mr. Dixon was re covered ibis morning near the spot where it went down. The appearance ot the body shows that Mr. DKon was not struck bv lightning , but was stunned by the shock and thrown oveihoard before assistance could icach him.

THE TORONTO MAN THE WINNER. Well Founded Suspicions That It Wns Simply n Die Hippodrome Other Spot-tint ; Invents on the Diamond mend ntul Turf. llnnlnn Finishes First. PULLMAN , 111. , July 23. Probably the greatest tittle of a boat race over rowed In the west was the ono hero this afternoon in which Edward Ilanlan nominally defeated Jacob Gaudaur. It had been announced that the contest would be for the championship of America , Sl.OiX ) a side , and to each participant a slice of the lecelpts at the gate. In addi tion It was expected that the result would definitely decide whether Ilanlan , whom many people bellevo the woild's greatest oarsman , had virtually closed Ills career. The race settled nothing and was In no par ticular a success , not even in the matter of the gate receipts. About twelve bundled people only were present instead of the eight or ten thousand expected. Those who stayed away had cause to congratulate them selves , tor the whole affair was characterized by execrable management , to say nothing of the suspicion that the race Itself partook of the nature ot a hip podrome. Like the last contest between the two men , to-day's race was in wed under a peculiar condition. Their race on Decora tion day took place in the midst of a blinding rain that prevented a close watch being kept. To-day they rowed In the daik , and watch ing of any kind was impossible. U'linn Ilanlan finished in front ot the grand stand , Gaudaur was a quarter of a mile away out In the mlddlo of the lake. No ono on shore could sco him , and rumois of all kinds were prevalent. Some believed that ho had been capsl/.cd , while others thought ho hnd given up and had been taken aboard tlio press boat Their fears proved to be unfounded , how ever , and ho soon pulled down the channel to the boat house. The race had been adver tised to take place between 2 and 3 p. m. and people bivan to irather at 4 o'clock. There were not over 1,200 present , however. Hut they felt the keen northwest bree o and those who brought overcoats were fortunate. Five , 0 and 7 o'clock passed and there was no sign ot the contestants. People were bv this time disgusted and tired out. Notwithstand ing that the water was not particularly rough , though a flesh northwest biee/.o was blowing , It was nearly 8 p. m. before tno contestants made their appearance. The delay was ostensibly due to a disagreement between the two oai smell , Gaudaur claiming that the articles ot agreement guaranteed him "smooth water. " At last when eveivbody was famished and disgusted , Uelerce Haiper dcclaied that ho would wait no longer , and that itGardaur did notiow , the race would be L'lvcn to Ilanlan. So , finally they started. At the outset Gaudaur took the lead and was half a length ahead as long as the pair could be seen. They had turned the stake and weie nearly half way to the line belorc the vvietched tub provided as a press boat again allowed sight of either tliiough the darkness. Hanlon was then eight or ten boat lengths ahead of Gaudaur , who was as tonishingly wide of the course and kept on so. At this juncture Gaudaur spurted in a wonderful manner , which seemed to Indlcato that ho must have won It on his course. Ho kept on obliquely , however , finishing on about equal terms with Haitian , as-near as could bo judged by his rjojii tion in the daitfness , which was almost total. Ho was disqualified by his position and the rnoo given lo Ilanlan who finished In 203. : ! Atler the race St John , Gamlatn's backer , said ho told the latter to go out and lose the race. He did this knowing Gaudaur could not alfoid ti attempt to win when the agreement had not been complied with and the water was so much in favor of HanlAii. He would not havti allowed the race to bo awarded Haulai only ho wished to satisfy the people by showing them something for their money. nnatingq Defeats Kansas City. KANSAS Cirv , Mo. , July 2 , ! .
