The Bluebirds had on their batting
clothes yesterday. and literally pounded
Farmer James. who essayed TO twirl the
sphere to them out of the box. They hit
him for singles. they hit him for doubles,
lined out trebles, and only RETAINED
from sending the horsehide over the
fence several times because home runs
were not needed.
james is ordinarily a frst-class pitcher,
but he is an easy ringer to the Bluebirds,
and whenever he gets in front Of them
they make mince meat of his delivery.
WAS LITERALLY SLUGGED.
He was literally slugged. It's true, but
he alone did not lose the game. II any
body on the Petersburg team had any
thing to do with RichmoOd's victory,
twas Pender. lie didn't try to play
In fact he simply lobbed the ball over
the field. and gave Richmond three runs
when he could well have made put-outs.
1T was not Pender though who won the
game for the Bluebirds: IL was Flynn
little Carney Flynn, the Hibernian. He
was ~ the box for Richmond and had on
bis twirling suit. He tossed the bail over
the plate with unerring accuracy, ana
WIN sucn terrific speed tndt tne fdtilcTs
could do nothing with II. True some
few OF them hit II. and once or twice they
sent II rolling away out In the out-held,
but almost half Of those who faced the
terrible little wizard struck out. They
wasn't called out by the umpire. while
they stood and watched the ball cross the
rubber. but they were literally struck
out-fourteen OF them-and the atmos-
phere ambient to the plate wa more
freely perforated than has been the case
for some time.
FLYNN WON THE GAME.
Flynn unquestionably won the game,
but In SO doing he was assisted by the
fielders, who rendered him excellent sup
port. While. as Is shown In the score,
both Wells and Berts made an error,
neither amounted 10 aught.
There were no very brilliant plays made
during the game. which was one Of those
SLOW. dragging contests. void OF any
life. that one always likes to see brought
10 a close.
The appended score will give all the
details necessary. Figure on il and see

shut out Monday:

time prior to the breaking out OF the
war was "a member of Company +. First
Virginia Regiment. with which ne served
during the early days OF the war, and
with which he participated In the battle
OF Acquia creek. The company was then
attached to the Twenty-frst Regiment.
and saw a good deal OF service In the
Valley. Captain Miller was then appoint
ed as adjutant OF the Twenty-sixth Regi-
ment, which at that time was stationed
at Gloucester Point, and was In COM
mand OF Colonel Charles a. Crump, his
brother-in-law. when Colonel Crump
was transferred to the Sixteenth Regi-
ment Captain Miller was attached 10
Company ID. City Battalion, In which he
served with great distinction TO the close
OF the war. He surrendered at Apo
mattox but still eylnced much interest
In military matters. and held the COM
mand of Company ID for seven years.
AFTER THE WAR.
After the dark days OF 1865. Captain
Miller held a prominent position in the
well-known clearinghouse OF j. y. Dew
lin, at 1907 east Main street. while later
he was connected with William Ira Smith,
and the firm Of Wilkinson q Witners.
Captain Miller organized the nrm OF
III. r. Miller q Brothers, for carrying on
shlrt-manufacturing business. some
years ago, and the copartnership lasted
until his death. Captain Miller was one
of the orginators OF the Mozart Associa-
ton. and held a place on the Board OF
Governors until two years ago, when
i'll health compelled him to resign.
Captain Miller married on the 7th Of
November. seventeen years ago, Miss
Hudson, of Soma, Ala, who survives
him. He also leaves a daughter IL years
old, and son u years old. He was a son
OF DIR. G.. A. Miller, and the brother Of
Messrs. Polk and Anthony Miller.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral will take place at 5 O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon from Holy Trinity
church, ard the interment will be made
In Hollywood Cemetery. The services
will, in all probability, be performed by
Rev DR. SprIgg. who had promised Cap
tain Miller to ofiiciate at the funeral
should he be spared to do so. DR..
Sprgg is spending his vacation in Cow
ington, Va, but the sad intelligence has
been telegraphed TO him. and it is con
sidered more than probable that he will
come TO the funeral II he can possibly
reach the city IN time. The Masonic
honors will be accorded Captain Miller
by JOppa Lodge, No. 10. of which assoc
citation he was one OF the charter mem
bers f. Company Association will also
be represented at the obsequies by a large
and though final arrangem ants
have not yet been made, IL is more than
likely that the pall-bearers will be drawn
from these two societies, with which
Captain Miller had been so prominently
identified.

DrcxeI Cup.

NEWPORT X. J., August 6.-The feet

| tested for the eight Drexel Cups-four for
schooners and four for sloops. The
chief interest abroad was centered In the
big sloops. but between them II was only
u yacht race for the Defender and Vigil
liant.
The Volunteer did not sail, and the
Jubilee had trouble with her gaff ut the
starting and was never in the race.
The Defender walked away with the
Vigilant from the beginning, getting the
best OF the start.
The course was triangular one of
twenty-five miles. 10 be covered twice,
making a total run OF forty-two miles
The Regatta Committee, however had
w privilege Of calling the race after the
course was once covered. IL they found
sufficient reason for doing so.
The Defender beat the Vigilant min
utes and 10 seconds, winning the Drexel
Cup. Owing to Fog the yachts were sent
only once around the course. The big
sloops were timed at the first mark: De-
fender. 1860; Vigilant, l2:236o. At the
finish: Defender. 210:13: Vigilant. 2:1714.
At the start the Defender was half a
minute ahead OF the VigiIant At the
seconds. and at The second turn by
minutes and 20 seconds. and she lost S
seconds on the run home. the Vigilant

did not.

COLLAPSE AT COwES.
COWES. August Give yachts were
expected to start to-day In the race for

course, starting from off the Castle
round the Bullock Patch buoy. outside

Huntington spit-buoy. and back to Cowes
fifty miles. They were the Britannia

peror William, and Verena, all OF which
belonged 10 the Royal Yacht Squadron
The race. however, resulted I'm fiasco,
the weather apparently frightening all
the yachts entered for the contest. ex-
cept the Britannia. which started nj 10
o'clock TO sail over the course alone The
wind was strong from the south.
Various reasons are given In explana-
ton OF the collapse OF the race. There
was too much wind, and the sea was
too heavy for some Of the boats, but
the probable reason for the Carna's fail
ure TO start was the fact that the
time allowance given her by the Britain
MIA had been reduced. she being al
lowed but forty-three minutes. when her
allowance last year was forty-four min
utes.
The Emperor William was on board the
Meteor at the time for the racers 10 get
