clear sky , calm sea and the wind lUlit and

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

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.

hayo just returned to Poitsmouth and It is
nearly midnight. 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

destroy Iho entire city of New York in less
than two hours.

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.

Vanderbllt's yacht , the Alva , was con

with flags. The sccno at Portsmouth
was ono of extreme animation. Hun

Americans. The crowds alloat and ashore
were enormous. On an lying at Portsmouth

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-

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

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

Account of Mr. Smith. Who Was Ono
ol tlio I'nrty.
NnvvYonif , July 23. ISpcclal Telegram
to the Uii.J : Tno tragic death by lightning
of Michael J. 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 body was well pirseived
nnd waattiied in a full suit of clothe1' . Mr.
Dlxon woic a diamond stud , valued at Si,000 ! ,
which v\as iccovered.

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.

assessment paid by each member
ot the biothcihood would nmko him a block-

tciy south of the city to-night and about 1:30 :
matched to the jail for the purpose of secur
ing the immletei. The guards were
entirely taken by surprise and vvero
easily overcome. A number of the
mob round the cnuit house squaio
standing guard while the otlieis entered the
building. An attempt was made to batter In
the Iron door on the south side of the jail but
It resisted so liimly that this could not bo
done. Then the sheriff's otllce , which is sit
uated directly OUT the pnsonei's cell , was
broken Into an an opening forced through
the floor which consumed nearly an
hour. When the cell was rcnchod at 3:30 :
a shout notified the crowd that they had
secured Shcllcngorcor , and within a uilnnto
af lei ward Shollenbergcr was brought out of
the front dopr , apparently half can led and
half pushed. Some ono was In a tree
immediately in front of the court house. '
In an Instant the rope was ready.
They waited possibly ono mlnuto during
which the repoiter could hear nothing from
Shellenberger and It Is believed ho was In
capable ol speech. Then there was a shout ,
a long pull and the \\entupllmpand
apparently lifeless. There was no move
ment of the limbs and no stiugglo whatever.
Two shots were fired fiom thhty
or forty feet away , the flash In
dicating that they were at the victim.
The body was let down and lifted again
and lemained hanging. The mob dispersed
as quickly as they could. All were masked
and armed to the teeth. Very few citizens
