Although the Meteor, Emperor Williams
yacht, had time handicap Of twenty-seven
minutes,it was thought that she was too far in
the lead in the race for the queens cup at
Cowes yesterday to leave the other yachts in
the race chance for the price. The emperor
was being congratulated already upon his vic
tory when the Corsair, owned by Admiral the
Hen. Victor Montague, came into sight. The
Corsar was covering the course in fine style, and
il was evident at once that she was to give the
Meteor close competition for the cup. There
was little cheering, the general feeling was
that the emperor had shown go much sporting
blood that lie should win the race. The Cor
sair however. reached the buoy which marked
the end Of the course just within her time allow

Troop H, eighth cavalry, at Fort Myer, Capt.

wagons, and as the difference in cost of hay in
field was less than that at Fort Myer. the trip
was made with not only no expense to the gov
eminent, but a saving. The march was a most
interesting one to officers and men, as well as
an excellent education. II is considered unfor-
tunate that the condition Of the treasury is such
that extended marches over the country cannot
be made by the regular troops. as such trips are
valuable in the training of the men, and they
afford the public an insight into the workings
Of the regular army. Crossing the stone bridge

road was blocked by the retreating troops and
how the road was commanded by the rebel ar
tillery, and how almost impossible the passage
