Result OF Tuesdays -TwO-mfle
Swimming Race In New York.

Tuesdays New York Sun contains the
following account Of the policemen's two
mile swimming race: The only starter
from New York in the race yesterda y
from off the Columbia College Boat Club
float on the Harlem, to MoComb's dam
bridge and back, WAS Henry g. Pfeifer OF
the Fifty-ninth street police. As he Is
the champion swimmer of the forca it
was considered useless to enter against
him. Policeman Dennis f. Butler came
on from Philadelphia. Since 1876 he has
defeated several of the best swimmers in
the United States and Canada. Police
man John Pierson was the dark horse.
accompanied by Chief of Police Hawkins
and Market Clerk Ainscow. Pierson has
a good record as a long distance swimmer.
The betting was in favor of the New
York policeman. The start was at 3.21
D. m. Butler took the lead and kept it
to within 200 yards of the bridge at
McComb's dam. Then Pierson passed
him, turning the bridge first, and making
the mile in Al minutes. Buffers time
was 40 minutes, and Pfeifer's 81. On
tine homestretch il WAS dollars to dough-
nuts on the Wilmington ''cop," and he
kept increasing his lead. The Quaker
City man was hauled out with cramp
in his stomach. A little later Pieiter
gave up, being tired of hopeless stern
chase. Pierson made the two miles in
one hour and IL minutes, and did not
appear at all exhausted when he left the
water. A gold medal from R. X. Fox and
the .'Police Championship of America"
were his reward.
