CLEVELAND. O ., Aug. 1.—This Was one of the grandest days 3ver seen on a trotting track, and its equal will not be ^•eeo tor years, if ever.

There were plenty of takers on both •sides, but, as will be saen, the tail enders -won bandtoraely.
Shortly itter 3 o'clock, Ed. Bithers "drove Jay»Eye See on the track and th» applause ran along the grand stand like artillery. He was followed by Johnny Murpoy betiod Maxey Cobb, isider 'Cohenfeld's fast, handsome stud, and again the appiause broke out.

The word was eiven, and the little horse went away like a rocket, Murphy thun. derlng some ten lengths in the rearAround (be turn the wind catisht him, but he shot to the quarter pole'in 33%. Then as be turned n.to tne back stretcn he went along like a little blqck demon.
while MUrphy handled the runner in ciaP-f-~" 4timmate style.
At the half

Then, and not till then, uid he call on him to do his best. As he atruek into tbe home stretch there was a breathless silenoe in the vast crowd. ttiiberx' voice calling on hia horse could be plainly hearn. It wa« a beantiful sietit: one n**v*r to be forgotten. The black was coming likp the whiilwind, vet bis action wia as perfect as it'he was onlv movinit a» three minute aate.

The harbor is filled wi craft laden with people. At 11:90 amid considerable. enthusiasm Commander Schley, Lt. Emory and Commander Collin disembarked. Following them were the other officers ot the Grcely ex_ pedition and sailors of Thetis, Bear and Alert.
The Greely party loaded at 11:3® A. Greely was clothed in wkite with slouch hat and wearing spectacles. As he and his companioes alighted aril crowded to welcome him. Grealy'a eveiy motion showed great felkaM. Gteelysaidtothe preas representative that he felt r«y well this morning.
At 11:90 the streets wen packed, applause greeted the sailors of the relief squadron. The ovatioo continued through the entire route. Commander Schely, Lieut. Emory and Commander Coffin were received with applause so were Secretary Chandler, General Hazen, Commodre Wales and Acting Admiral Luce. As the head of the procession neared tbe Rockingham House where Lieut. Greely and survivors were waiting to-review, the pressure of the crowd became so great that the column was delayed several minuten. Lient. Greely and comrades were seated upon a balcony. Cheer after cheer greeted him. As the crews of the Thetu, Bear and Alert passed Greely bowed very low and seemed to look his thanks to the men who so recently rescued him from a grave la tbe Attic seas. The scene was very affecting and many brushed tears from their eyes. Greely was kept busy bowing acknowledgement as the procession psssid Commanders Schley and Coffin and Lieut Emory raised their hats aa they passed tbe hero. After the procession Greely and patty were driven to the grand stand where they again reviewed the proceeaion and received the plaudits of the multitude.

KiNG FOR A DAY.
Jay-Eye-See'* Royal Work Obliterated ~FN 2:Q9 M. CLEVELAND, Aug. 2,-11 was oh FHday, August 1.
1884, that Jay-Eye*$ee
Maud 8. qf h«t orown and left
her the dethroned Queen of tbe Turf. To-day, after a n'gbt or thought over the diadem gone, the ex-Queen wrested the laarels from the little black gelding and took it to herself again, for on the tracK arleast two secouds slow she beat the figures of Jay-Eye-See by one-quarter second and her own record by half a second, making the full r«und of the Glenville track in 2:80%. No runner accompanied the queen, it was a clean, unaided trotting trip on a track that bad been brusbed on the pole line but once. Such horsemen as Orrin A. Hickok and A. W. Campbell pronounced tbe going at least one and a half seconds slower than tbe Providence track.
THE TRICK WAS DONE
between the third heats of the fr'eo forall pacing race and tbe 2:27 class trot, ting. A light rain had fallen twenty minu:es before aurt improved tbe track. Bair, quiet a» usual, warmed the mare up by a couple of jogs around at a 2:30 clip and tben scored. The first time down be got tbe word and went away beautifully and close to the rail. It had been said that Maud was not to go faster tban 2:18, but when horsemen saw the clip that took ber to the quarter, poolselling was suspended and everybody crowded to the highest point to watch the trip. Not a move was made but was perfect and square trotting. As she passed tbe quarter a murmur rose from tbe judges' stand, and those who heard it knew tbe pace was fast. On went the Queen, and round tbe back, and when fully extended she was a picture, Bair*s mouth could be seen moving by a strong glass, but it was a quiet talk he was giving tbe mare, and she moved well under it. The pace was kept up to the half, and round tbe turn to tbe third quarter, and everybody wondered if she coulk keep it up. "Sbe did, and moving like machinery Bhe came to the wire. Shouts arose on the air. and whether they rattled Maud or whether she was tired was not known until she came in, but she faltered at tbe band stand and Bair laid on the whip. She jumped gamely from it* and with a rush was under the wire, and by the shout from tbe judges' stand everybody knew the record waB beaten, and such a scene has never been witnessed since tbe memorable victory of Smuggler over Goldsmith Maid in 1876. Women and men cheered until they were hoarse, and afresh burst went up when the figures 2:09^ were bung up. Bair received an ovation, and said that had the mare not tired a little she would have beaten 2:C9 The quarter tfuie was 32%, l:t)4}£. 1:36^, 2:09%.
Maud S. will probabiy be given some more fast work next week before she leaves lor Buffalo or Saratoga. She may be allowed to trot at Buffalo, Not only were Jay-Eye-See's figures mad* secondary ones, but all single records against tiine or horses in single harness were knocked out. Johnston's 2:10 equaled by Jay-Eye-See was eclipsed by Maud S., and the little black .fellow was but "king for a day."
Clevtlart and Hendricks Batf|esThere are some very pretty Cleveland and Hendricks badges for sale at the newstands ot this city, but by far tho prettiest yet seen ate some received at the postoffice lobby. The price is sixty cents and the work is very artistically done.

An laiportant Decisita.
MUSCATINB, la., August 5.—Judge Hayes, of the Seventh Iowa Judicial district, has rendered an important deciaioo as to tbe jurisdiction of Justices of the Peacc under tho new Iowa prohibitory liquor law. Judge Hayes holds that usticeshave no jurisdiction to tty, determine or pass judgment upon cases under this law other than to hold a preliminary trial and bind the defendants over to the district court. The decision is based upon the opinion that the penalties of the new law exceed the jurisdiction of justices. By this decision all liquor cases commenced here under the new law are dismissed. Tbe question is one of great importance and will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

MONSTER MEETING.
laiaiense Rally of the Braoklya Independents. Nnw YORK, August 5.—The Brooklyn Independent Republicans held a mass meeting to-night in that oity. Every seat in the music hall was filled from the orchestra to the cock.loft,.ai«d many were unable to gain entrance to the building. A large portion of the audience were Democrats, and there were many Blaine Republicans present. H. W. Maxwell called the meeting to order aod lntroduoed Horace E. Deming as chairman. Mr. Deming is chairman of the young men's Democratic club of Brooklyn. Deming waa frequently interruptedby cheers and bissee whenever the names of candidates were mentioned, and before he finished the uproar waa so great he eeuld not be heard. Carl Schurz was thsn introduced. He said he wished to address himself to Republic%ns and appeal to their reason as men who loved their country. The tariff was «ot the question which they had to meet and tbe charge that they were free traders was false. The question was whether honest governmec could be obtained. Would not the endorsement or such a man as Blaine be dangerous to the. good of the government? It has been asserted Blaine was an abused man and that his enemies were persecuting him. If this were so it was not right. Xotaing was so distasteful to him (Scburz) as to discuss the character of auy man, but he should not make any onarges against Blaine which he had not made against himself. ,*r« Shurz then read some ofMulligaa's letters,and remarked that Blain'e mends disliked verv much to be brought face to face with these letters.
