DETROIT HACKS OPEN. Alex. C, In the 2:33 Class, Gets a Low Mark of 2:22 a. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Detroit, Micb., July 18. When tbe gong tapped, this afternoon, for tho first race of the Detroit American Trotting Circuit there were over twelve thousand people on the grounds. The track was fast and the -weather cool. Three of the six horses entered in tne first race, the 2:85 trotting, -were drawn. Alex. C. was the favorite in the betting, at 0 to S16 for the field. Duchess had it all her own way in the first beat, and could have shot out the other two had not her driver held her in. Alex. C. braced up, however, and won the next three, making the fourth in 2:22 Mi , which was only one-half of a second slower than tte best time ever made in the 2:15 class. In the 2:19 pace Robert J. was tbe favorite at 500 to gll for Mikado, $3 for Expert Prince. 87 for Lochinvar and 812 ftr the field. Kobert J. won the first heat in good style by a length. In the second beat Kobert J., Expert Prince and Mikado moved in a bunch almost to the wire, when the favorite polled oat and won by a length in 4J:1GU, with Expert Prince second. San Pedro made a wonderful burst of speed in the last hundred yards and took third place. Robert J. won the third heat in a jog in 2:17. In the third race, the 2:17 trot, Nellie Mason won in straight heats, but had to fight hard for it every time. In the third heat the judges thought that Blake was not driving Lee's Pilot as well as he might, so they took him out and put (leorge Starr in his place, but it did not better the horse's standing much.

MEN AND WO 31 EN ON WHEELS. Three Thousand Bicyclists Enjoying; Themselves nt the Nntlonnl Capital. Washington, July 18. Every incoming train to-day brought large additions to the throng of bicyclists already here to Attend the thirteenth annual meet of the League of American Wheelmen. Up to this time lnlly 3,010 have registered, and it is expected that by the time the first race is called to-morrow there will be 4,000 visiting leagne members in this city. Since early morning hundreds of cyclists from all parts of tbe country, singly, and in groups and clubs, have been scurrying along tbe broud avenues, and seemingly enjoying to the utmost the delightful weather and Washington's smooth asphalt pavements. At 9 o'clock this morning about six hundred joined in a run over the principal aveuues, taking in a view of tbe public buildiuus. At 10:30 the ladies, to the number of about a hundred aud fifty, took a run to the National Soldiers' Home and Tacoma Park, and at 11 o'clock another run was made into the country west and north of the city, also having for its objective point tho National Soldiers' Home. At 2 o'clock there was a meeting held at ihe Columbia Athletic Club-house at which J dd reuses of wr Icome wure made by Si. M. 'arker. president of the Board of rrade'and Mr. iJoiislafi, onnof the District commissioners. Mr. C. L. Hurdett, of Hartford, president of th league, responded. At Z:lO a meeting of club captains was held at which arrangements were made for totuorxow'a parade. At 3 o'clock a run was

made to Fort Myer and to the Arlington national cemetery. The most popular feature of the meet will be tbe racing on Analostan island, whioh will commence to-morrow at 2:0 r. M. The track has been put in excellent condition. All of the entry lists for the handicap and class events are well filled, but in the L. A. W. championship events, on which tbe chief interest will center, only those men are eligible who have won State championships corresponding to tbe national, events. Amongthe other courtesies extended to tbe wheelmen, tbe trustees of the Corcoran Art Gallery made to-day a free day, keeping tbe gallery open from 0 till 4 o'clock. Among the arrivals at tbe Ebbitt Houso is tbe Overman Wheel Band of forty pieces. Among the lady riders is Miss Sadie Brooks, who rode over from Baltimore yesterday (a distance of forty miles), in compan j- with her father and other members of the Centaur Club. PerLJps tho most striking trio at tbe meet is Mr. L. 8. Bennett, of Shickskinnr, Pa., with bis two little boys, Gny and Eddie, tho youngest cyclists in the world. Eddie, the younger of tho two, is a mere baby, but two years and three months old. Guy, the elder, is four, and is a remarkably clever trick rider. He will probably givo an exhibition either on Analostan island or on tbe Arlington plaza before the end of the meet. Among the wheelmen who will compete in tbe national championship are W. C. Marmon and F. E. Hunter, of Indianapolis, and G. K. Barret, of Illinois. SAYS niS DAUGHTER IS MAD

Alico Mitchell's Father Testifies as to tho Young Woman's Peculiarities. She Does Not Kfem toKnoir that Freda Ward, Her Victim, Is Dead Fond of Female Company bat Not of Male. Memphis. Tenn., July 18. On Jan. 20, last. Alice Mitchell killed Freda Ward. The details of the crime were most shocking, ahd were gloated over by the unseemly and discussed by the psychological student. To-day her case was brought up in court before Judge Dnbose, it being to provo or disprove her insanity. Dr. Callendar, an expert on insanity cases, who was called upon to testify in the Charles J. Guiteau case, after he slew President Garfield, is expected to be the mainstay of the defense, he haying dnring tbe pastfew months made a most searching examination of Miss Mitchell's case. He did not, however, testify to-day. The only witness who testified was Mr. George Mitchell, father of the aconsed. The jury selected is undoubtedly one of the roost Intelligent ever gathered in West Tennessee. Mr. Mitchell being placed on the stand said he was the father of defendant, and that she was nineteen years old. lie then testified as to the insanity of the mother of Alice years ago. He said that Alice has manifested some very noticeable peculiarities recently. She would want to stay by herself ail tbe time. She would go to her room and remain there for houTs. When there were young, men around the ' houso Miss Alice would not stay near them. She did not seem to have any use for men and would never remain in their company. She had always been more like a boy than a girl and often played marbles. She would shoot a target title and adopted other boyish habits. He knew there was an affectionate feeling between Miss Alico and Freda Ward. She signed the name of Freda Ward to receipts for coal last September, and when he asked her concerning it she said she was thinking about Freda Ward so much that she just signed her name to it. He had noticed a peculiar brightness about her eyes about this time that he had nover observed before. He missed his razor in November, and, after the Killing of Freda Ward. Alice told him that she had taken it He said Alice told him' that she had thrown the razor away after the killing. He did not know Alice had killed Freda Ward until an hour and a half after tbe occurrence. She told him that she had killed Freda Ward because she loved her. Freda, she said, bad gone back on her. They were engaged to be married. She was vory fond of talking abont killing Freda Ward. She has Freda Ward's picture in the cano of the watch she wears. She never talks as if Freda Ward were dead. She uses the present tense when talking of Freda, and does not seem to know she is dead. The next day after tbe killing she was told 'that Freda would bo buried. She said she wanted to see her, and when told that she could not she cried. It was the first timn be had seen her or'. She has pasted all of tho newspaper pictures on the wall in her room. She hau never taken any interest in her trml or her fate. Here the witness was turned over to Attorney-general Peters. In answer to a question the witness said there had never been any perceptible disturbance of the minds of any of his children but Alice and the oldest child. The witness said, in answer to questions, that Alice was not exceptionally bright at school. She could play almost any sort ot musical instrument She did not read ranch. She did not care much abont, books. He had heard since the tragedy that she had corresponded with men who were perfect strangers to her. She frequently went out riding with Miss Tillie Johnson. Ho never knew of any estrangement between Freda Ward and his daughter Alico, or between Alico and any other member of the Ward familr. It was 1 o'clock when Mr. Mitchell concluded, and the court adjourned until 8:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. Smoke Carried 120 Mile. Nkw York. July 18. The first vesselwb:ch has arrivad at th:s port from St. Johns, N. F.. since tho fire which swept two-thuds of tho town out of existence, is the steamship Miranda, commanded by Capt. H. F. Lesemau, who got into-St. Johns dnring the lire, and was evidently impressed with the sight. "Talk about a big lire," said Captain Leseraan. "I'm spinning yon no sea yarn when 1 tell you that at 120 miles distance from St. Johns the windows and doors of tbe pilot-house had to be closed tight on account of the dense smoke the strong northwest wind blowing oil shore brought down on uh. We felt tbe heat fully sixty miles away, and from where we anchored the whole eastern part of town looked like one huge glowing coal." Return of Marie Nevlns niatne. New York. July 18. Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine, the divorced wife of James G. Blaine, jr., arrived in this city yesterday on tbe steamer La Champagne., after several months' stay abroad. Mrs. Blaine is still very feebto, aud her health has not improved as much as was hoped. She was met by her father. Colonel Nevins, who took her to the New York Hotel. She was so exhausted by her voyago that she immediately went to bed, and remained there the whole afternoon, declining to seo her most intimate friends. Mrs, Blaine's plans as to the future are still unsettled, but it is thought she will go to some quiet health resort as soon as sho recovers sufficiently to be moved. ., Negro Tough Lynched. Mkmpiiia. Tenn.. Jnly 18. 'Doc" Davis, a notorious negro tougb. charged with assaulting Miss Olla Maddux, a fifteen-year-old white girl, was .taken from a deputy o he nil while on his way to Decatur jail last night and lynched.

HE Indianapolis home yesterday, and of course,' it drizzled last night. Unfortunately, they are to be here for the rest of the week, but the horsemen, nevertheless, hare strong hopes of fair weather. If to-day turn out fair thev will look upon las? night's drizzle as a bit of rare good luck, for it has laid the blinding dust that has hnng in clouds over tbe roads leading to the grounds and saved them the expense of sprinkling the newtraek, whioh they would have had to do last night. At this writing a terrible weight of responsibility rests upon the shoulders of Lieut. Wappenhans, andniuoh depends upon the weather he may manufacture between now and morning. The midnight report declared that it would olear up this morning. If the weather prove what it should there can be no doubt that tbe meeting beginning to-day will be the most successful, in everything but a financial way, ever held on Indiana soil. It cannot prove very profitable in a money way to the Driving Club, even if the grounds are

filled to their capacity dally. The expenses thus far have been enormous. . Everything ; has had to be pushed, and President Holt stated yesterday that it had cost tho clnb fully $5,0 JO more than what its expense would have been had thetraek, barns and buildings been finished a month ago. The big event of to-day Is the best trotting rsee of the meeting, the 2:10 class. Blazeberry and Dr. Sparks were scratched last night, leaving the race to be trotted by Now York Central, Lord Clinton and N. T. II.. and the general prophecy is that they will come under the wire in the order named. All tbe driyers are required to notify Secretary Bronson by 7 o'clock in the evening as to what horses they will start in the next day's races. In tho three-minute trot Coon Hollow, Tulliola. Billy Crabb, Fred Nelson and Silver Maid were scratched. This still leaves an even dozen starters, with Nellie Lloyd as the general favorite. In the 2:35 pacing class Floral Boy, Bennett and Gabriella have been scratched. Floral Boy is generally supposed to have been the best horse in this race, and Cosgrove decided yesterday to start him in the :30 class to-morrow, which, of course, necessitated his withdrawal from to-day's race. This leaves Walnut Boy as the favorite in to-day 'a pacing race. The withdrawals leave the following entries for today: Thret'Minnte Trot. Rob Roy, bik. g., Clarcnco Pinguely, Grant's Lick, Ky.

However, the blackboards were erected in the betting "ring" just beneath the west end of the pavillion yesterday, and three or four "bookies" will be on hand to take the field against the favorite this afternoon. Tho track was a busy scene all day yesterday. Light or nine teams with harrows and drags were at work from daylight to dark under the watchful eye of John S. Lackey, and they will bo kept at it until nooa-to-day. Tho inner forty feet of the whole track is in prime condition, and on all but the second quarter stretch the whole width is in the same shape. But by noon to-day every inch of it will be all right. If the weather people carry out their midnight promise there need be no fears about the track from last night's shower. After last Friday's ram, which was twice as wet as that of last night, the harrowa were on tbe track in an hour and the roller was upon it in another hour. "Gumbo clay" is almost as impervious to rain as rubber, and tbe track has such a heavy slant that water runs right off it. During tbe morning the racers wero "at work' and the track was full of liyers. Two or three Uttle "brushes" were had, and there were plenty of brilliant dashes ud the home stretch. The horsemen were even more enthusiastloin praise of the track after speeding their racors over it than they were on Sunday, when most of them had simply looked it over. In the afternoon there was a little speed ing, '' but not mnch. The carpenters were hammering away on the pavilion, and starters' aud judges' stands, workmen were finishing the fences around the track, drivers were basking in the snn, and such stable boys as were not engaged in washing sulkies or rnbhlng

down horses, were enjoying the congenial poVrao Mof, "shooting craps." A Journal reporter, ran into one of these games just in time to see a crowd from Kentuoky avenue lose 15 cents on the skill of one of the jockies. A big square of heavy wrapping paper had been thrown on the grass, and about it stood an eager crowd, the stable boys ranged on one side, and the town boys on the other. "Hnbl Seven, come nine! Huh!'' groaned and hissed therjockey who was shooting the dice, with one eye on tbe "bones" and another on the shining pile of small ooin. "You shake 'em up an' shoot 'em out dar, niggah! 1 do an' bet on you placin' 'em wid yo' fin gabs!" This from the Kentucky-ave ddo sport who had put up the coin. "All right. I shoot 'em out, but I doan' shake 'em np. Hnh! "Come nine! Gimme dat etnil:" and he raked the money in. Then there was hilarity among the stable, Jioys, and, as the Kentucky-avenue rowd moved oil discomtited, they were followed with snch cries as "Huh! Find out how we trow, hey!" Come agin!'1 "We Jearn yon town nlggahs a whole iot!" and like "jollying up" that was calculated to have a soothing eHect ou the losors' i' To Make It a Half-Holiday. Following is a list of firms that have contributed to the success of the opening day by consenting to close at noon to-day: When Clothing Company, Model Clothing Company, The Progress, P.
