SPORTS OF THE DAY,


Eight thousand People Witness the
Efforts OF Guy and Nelson to Lower
Their Record org 40 3-4 At Detroft-
Scores OF All the Base Ban Games.
DETROIT, July 22.--The features of the
third days racing of the Detroit Driving
clubs meeting were the attempts of the
wonder, Guy, owned by W. J. Gordon of
Cleveland, and the fan,ous stallion Nelson
to break their respective records of 2:10a.
The weather was fine and crowd of s, 600
persons witnessed the Iaces. The track
was fast. When Guy came out he acted
badly, and when finally Simmonds nodded
for the word he was not going better than
q 20 clip: He went to the quarter in 1884, to
the half in LOG, to the three-quarter in
:399 and came under the wire in 2:13I.
Nelson was also going slow when his owner
nodded to the judges-about 20 clip. He
went to the quarter in 80, to the half in
:O59, the three-quarter in 1881 and pass
ing under the wire in Sill. The sum
maries are as follows.

THE EASTERN YACHT CLUB.

Their First Special Race Yesterday
A Fair Sailing BreeZe-The May
flower, Beatrix and Mildred Are the
Winners in Their Respective Classes
Their Time.
MARBLEHEAD, Mass, July 22.-At 10:45
a. m. to-day the preparatory whistle was
blown for the start of the special race of
the Eastern Yacht club. The wind had
come up light from the east-southeast and
at the start was fair sailing breeze. The
course for schooners and forty-six- Hooters
was from Half Way Rock to Nahant Turn
ing buoy, free reach, thence round the
Graves and Boston Ledge buoys to the
mark off Minot's Ledge light, beat to
windward and return by the same course.
The thirty-footers, after rounding the Ma
liant stake, went to Harding's Ledge bell
buoy and returned by the same course.
At Ills the schooners got away.
The Oenone was first, followed
by the Marguerite and Mayflower.
Up to Nahant the Oenone led, the May
flower being second, having passed the
Marguerite on the reach. Then came the
beat to windward, the Oenone starting off
we'll, with the Mayfower close after her.
Both of these schooners stood out to sea,
while the Marguerite worked along the
south shore. On the run back from Min
OTIS the Mayhower overlook the Oenone,
and on the rest of the course she lengthen-
ed out her lead so as to save her allowance
to the Oenone. The Marguerite kept
crawling ON the Oenone and finished only
five seconds behind. All over the course
all sail was crowed on, for the breeze was
not heavy and the sea quite smooth.
The greatest interest was in the forty
six-foot class. At 11:25 the whistle was
blown and within forty-eight seconds all
of the six racers had crossed the line.
The Beatrix was the first boat over, and
on the run to Nahant she showed her
heels. The Alborak was second at the
start, but the Oweene soon crawled by her
her. The Oweene was hot after the
Beatrix, but could not catch her, while
the Sayonara pushed the Oweene. The
other three boats-Alborak, Barbara and
Gossoon-were not really in the exciting
part of the race at all. At the Nahant
mark the order was Beatrix, Oweene,
Sawonara, Alborak, Barbara, Gossoon
On the beat to windward, out to Minot's
the Oweene still made the Beatrix hustle,
but the white boat held her lead bravely
and rounded first with lead of little
over a minute. The Sayonara carried away
her bobstay before reaching Minot's and
was forced to withdraw from her good
third position.
On the run back to Nahant the Beatrix
gained a little on the Oweene, and laying
home for Half Way Rock she finished q
winner, beating Oweene by minutes AZ
seconds. The next boat, Alborak, was
over five minutes behind.
In the thirty-foot class the Mildred
started first, led on every leg and won
handsomely over the Chieftain, who never
once touched her. The Hawk was so far
behind that she had to withdraw.

The Commissioner OF Pensions AT
Washington to Reopen the Case of
tho Application OF the Mother OF
William HI. Croup-The whole Az
fair I'm Detail.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Assistant SEQ
Rotary Bussey has requested the commits
sioner of pensions to reopen the case of
the application of the mother of William 81.
Group for pensionand to settle it on its
merits. The soldier died in Andersonville
prison and the mothers claim was reject
ed by the pension Office on the ground
that the soldier was not in the line of duty
when captured. From the record in the
case it appears that Group while stationed
at Plymuth, N. G., went with number of
comrades on fishing trip some distance
away from camp. When at the fishing
place Group rowed up a small stream
emptying into the river on an errand.
During his absence from the boat 1t was
stolen. Owing to the swampy condition
of the ground he was unable to reach
his companions again and stayed around
the place until found by the soldiers.
He was afterward tried for desertion,
found guilty and sentenced to be confined
at hard labor at Fort Williams during the
remainder of his term. While serving his
sentence Plymouth and all the Union SOL
diers within it were captured by General
Hoke. Group was taken to Andersonville
with sther soldiers and died there. The
assistant secretary argues that the depart
ment, whatever the justice of the mans
sentence, can hold that his death at Ander-
sonville was in the line of duty. \
His capture was not due to his depart
u-e from the line of duty. He died
because he went to AndersonyilIe His
who was responsible for the
execution of his sentence, by that act of
released him, ended his punish
nent, placed him on the same footing as
his comrades and transferred him from a
convict to prisoner of war. This may
nave been done unwillingly, as many
,hings in war are done, but it was done.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The Teutonic of
the White Star line was brought to her
dock this morning at half-past 9 o'clock,
after having made quick run from Liver

The best time made by the Tertonic, &C.
cording to the White Star company, is
days, 10 hours and minutes, though this
record has been disputed. The Teutonic
thus comes within two hours and nine
minutes of equalling her best record, and
surpasses the best time made by the City
of New York from Queenstown. The rec
ord by days was 457, 4S3, 492, 1876, 495
and 39S; total, 1881. The following are
some of the passengers WHO arrived on the
Teutonic:

After Escaping to Canada Frank
A1my, the New Hampshire Murder
er, is Probably on His Way to Eng

MONTREAL, July 22.-There is little
doubt that Frank Almy, the New Hamp-
shire murderer, who succeeded in making
his escape across the line into Canada, has
also succeeded in getting out of the coun-
try and that he is on the high seas on his
way. to England. Detective Cowing
of the Boston force has been
here all day and in company with the local
detectives has been working up
every available clue It was ascertained that
man answering closely the description
of Amy was seen on board the Allan line
steamer Partisan yesterday inquiring an1-
iously about the departure of vessels, and
he was ordered off the steamer. The de-
tectives think that he may possibly be a
passenger on board the steamer Mongolian,
which sailed at daybreak this morning.
Word has been sent to the other side mott
flying the authorities to keep close watch
for Amy, and there Is little doubt that if
he is passenger he will bearrested on the
arrival of the steamer.
