that by special permission of the admiraltyhad been allowed to take up her position , notwith the yachts , but the foreign mon-of-war ,The queen , as tlio Victoria and Albert passednear the Alva , asked several questions abouttier tonnage and speed , and seemed verymuch interested In her. As wo passed be-

tween¬

the lines of the lingo iron elad9 , look-Ing

llko so many lingo lion sphinks , the sightwas magnificent. The masts and sides vverolined white sailors , and ring-ing cheers burst from each as wo came near. .

When wo came to the Devastationthe queen descended fiom the brldgoand stood on the quarter deck just aft of thecabin. She looked very Intently at theDevastation , which , however , showed nosigns of its collision with the Ajax , as thehole In her bows Is far beneath the waterline. Wo then steamed slowly down to theend of the line and passed the two huge live-

mastod-

monsters , the Argincourt and Mlna-taur.

. Wo then turned slowly and passed thetorpedo llotlllas. At 0 o'clock wo anehoiednearly opposite Admiral Willis' llugship , theIndexible. The quenn sent for AdmiralWillis , Freemantlo , Hewitt and Ualrd , andCommodores FlUroy and Maikham.-In

.twenty minutes a steam

launch brought this bevy ofadmirals In thuir smalt , snow-white steamlaunches alongside the Victoria and Albert.The quern received them on the quaiterdeck-of her yacht , and said a pleasant word toeach one of them. Tins queen then told Ad-

miral¬

Willis that she would like to have allthe commanders of the ships presented toher at once. This was Immediately signalled ,

In half an hour the 123 captains wore tilingono by ono over the side ot the Victoria andAlbert , and were received by the queenexactly as If at a levee at-

llucklngham palace. At half pastwo weighed anchor , steamed back againthrough the fleet , another royal salute boomedlorth , and vve reached Comes bay at half-past 7. The queen was In splendidspirits and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thequeen drove at once to the Osborno houseand dined at half-past 8 on the terrace, wherethe entire fleet and magnificent Illuminationswere visible.-

"Suddenly I felt as though I had had aheavy blow on top of the head , and that Isthe last 1 knew lor a long time , I heard nothunder and saw no lightning. When 1 cameto 1 was lying on the bottom of the boat. 1was dazed alid confused , and It was a min-ute

Then I saw it waslilled with water and its gunwales lull to thelevel of the sea and there was no onovisible In It. 1 got up my anchor asquickly as possible and went to it. Mr. Dlxonwas now here to be soon and Mr. Hyau washanging head down out of theboat in the water.

Finally 1 saw aboat putting oil and 1 knew 1 bad beenheaid. It was Kenjamln Westcott whoheard me first and ho hold me fast as he-could. . The storm had all blown over now.Following Mr. Westcott , three colored mencame out In another boat.

Finishes First.PULLMAN , 111. , July 23. Probably the

greatest tittle of a boat race over rowed In thewest was the ono hero this afternoon inwhich Edward Ilanlan nominally defeatedJacob Gaudaur. It had been announced thatthe contest would be for the championship ofAmerica , Sl.OiX ) a side , and to each participanta slice of the lecelpts at the gate. In addi-tion

¬

It was expected that the result woulddefinitely decide whether Ilanlan , whommany people bellevo the woild's greatestoarsman , had virtually closed Ills career.The race settled nothing and was In no par-ticular

¬

a success , not even in the matter ofthe gate receipts. About twelve bundledpeople only were present instead of theeight or ten thousand expected. Those whostayed away had cause to congratulate them-selves

¬

, tor the whole affair wascharacterized by execrable management ,

to say nothing of the suspicion thatthe race Itself partook of the nature ot a hip ¬

podrome. Like the last contest between thetwo men , to-day's race was in wed under apeculiar condition. Their race on Decora-tion

¬

day took place in the midst of a blindingrain that prevented a close watch being kept-.Today

.

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 Inthe mlddlo of the lake. No ono on shorecould sco him , and rumois of all kinds wereprevalent. Some believed that ho had been

, while others thought ho hnd givenup and had been taken aboard tlio press boatTheir fears proved to be unfounded , how-ever

¬

, and ho soon pulled down the channelto 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 andthose who brought overcoats were fortunate.Five , 0 and 7 o'clock passed and there was nosign ot the contestants. People were bv thistime disgusted and tired out. Notwithstand-ing

¬

that the water was not particularlyrough , though a flesh northwest

was blowing , It was nearly8 p. m. before tno contestantsmade their appearance. The delay wasostensibly due to a disagreement betweenthe two oai smell , Gaudaur claiming that thearticles ot agreement guaranteed him"smooth water. " At last when eveivbodywas famished and disgusted , Uelerce Haiper-dcclaied that ho would wait no longer , andthat itGardaur did notiow , the race wouldbe L'lvcn to Ilanlan. So , finally they started.-At

.

the outset Gaudaur took the lead and washalf a length ahead as long as the pair couldbe seen. They had turned the stake andweie nearly half way to the line belorc thevvietched tub provided as a press boatagain allowed sight of either tliiough thedarkness. Hanlon was then eight or tenboat lengths ahead of Gaudaur, who was as-tonishingly

¬

wide of the course and kept on-so. . At this juncture Gaudaur spurted in awonderful manner , which seemed to Indlcatothat ho must have won It on his course. Hokept on obliquely , however , finishing onabout equal terms with Haitian , asnear-as could bo judged by his rjoji-ition in the daitfness , which wasalmost total. Ho was disqualified byhis position and the rnoo given lo Ilanlanwho finished In 203.: ! Atler the race StJohn , Gamlatn's backer , said ho told thelatter to go out and lose the race. He didthis knowing Gaudaur could not alfoid tiattempt to win when the agreement had notbeen complied with and the water was somuch in favor of HanlAii. He would nothavti allowed the race to bo awarded Haulaionly ho wished to satisfy the people byshowing them something for their money-
