MONTREAL. July 1.-The Canadian defender
| Glencairn Ill won tho third Of the series OF
races for tho Scawanhaka Cup which was
sailed on Lake st. Louis this afternoon. cross
Ing the finishing line 3 minutes and seconds
ahead OF the American challenger Constance.
To-days course was q beat to windward and
return. two miles each way and sailed three
times over. making n total distance OF twelve
miles. The raco was the most exciting one
that has ever been sailed for the cup and was
full OF surprises. At one time 1t was thought
that 1t would be Constanoe's race. but the fine
sailing OF Duggan. tho Canadian skipper.
enabled him to bring his boat across the limo
first.
The weather conditions. too favored the de-
fender to-day. Early In the morning there was
u good stifr breeze blowing and had 1t con-
tinucd tho challenger would have beon able to
outsail the Glencarn in the windward beats
The challenger has already shown her superb
ority to stand up in a stiff breeze to windward.
and it was unfortunate that before the race
was half sailed the breeze moderated consd-
erably. The Constance was not able to make
any appreciable gains on the last two beats,
while in the free runs in moderate breeze the
Glencairn III. outfootcd her rival. Toward
tho close the breeze had gone down so much
that 1t became almost drifting match.
The series now stands two to one in favor OF
the Americans To-morrow's race will be over
a triangular course. and in a stiff breeze Crane
should be able TO repeat his win over this
course, which will finish the series and give
the cup to the States.

O'Clock. tho second at l: 30 and the starting gun
at 1:25. Duggan. who was sailing with greater
nerve to-day than In any OF the previous races.

better OF Crane at the start and brought the
Glencairn across the line first as the starting
gun was fired. Crane bringing the Constance
over the line at :25:10. Duggan had thus Sc
cured lead OF sixteen seconds at the start.
There was good breeze blowing as the boats

Tho breeze frcshened and 1t was soon
apparent that the Constance was quickly
overhauling the Glencairn. 1t was stiff
breeze that tho challenger required, and
when she got 1t she outsailed the
