DORvAL, Que, Aug. 2.-Today was

and she ran under the GIencairn's

the first buoy, this leg being Quickly
sailed. Glencairn rounded the buov ono
minute and fifty-siX seconds ahead of
constance, having thus gained one min
ute f1fty-eight seconds from the start
From the first to the second buov IL
was a beat to windward, but the wind
which was from the southwest, was
light, and Glencairn steadily drew awov
from Constance, the Constance making
poor headway in the Iulls which occurred
between the short puffs of wind. Glen
cairn rounded the second buov of tho
nrSt round two minutes and thirtv-eipht
seconds ahead of the American boat and
had her spinnaker set. Constance lost
twenty-seven seconds on this leg. hut
the rapidity with which she set ont her
splnnaker to port was favorably en-
mented on.
The next leg was before the wind and
Constance did so well as to lose onlv
tWenty-nine seconds on a course so fa
Vorable to Glencairn, which COMPLETED
the first round three minutes and seven
seconds ahead of her rival.
Meantime heavy clouds formed in the
west and thunder and lightning were al
most constant. The boats had to con-
tiEue IN race OF storm, and most of the
pleasure boats ran to shelter. but the
storm did not turn out as expected Rv
the time the boats were running for the
first buoy on the second round the wind
had gone all round the compass and if
was a reach sail to starb0ard. The rain
came down and it was difficult To see the
boats in the mist. It was soon apparent
however, that the Constance was gaining
on her rival and when she rounded the
first buoy she had reduced the gap be-
tween her and Glencairn by twentv-six
seconds. The wind however, kent drop-
ping little by little and Glencairn again
gained one minute and two seconds on the
leg round the second buoy, being then
three minutes and thirty-three seconds
ahead of the Constance
Instead of running before the wind both
boats now tackled to the starting buoy.
The storm was increasing. but il could ba
seen that the Constance was again gain
ing and in completing the last leg of the
second round she reduced Glencairn's
lead by twenty-four seconds.
After turning, the starting buoy and
reaching up to the first buoy on the last
round the Constance evidently miscalcu-
lated in some way, as Glencairn appear
ed simply to run away from her and
rounded the buoy seven minutes and
twenty-three seconds ahead, having gain
ed four minutes and twenty-six seconds
on the leg. Just before reaching this
buoy on the south shore the mist was so
heavy that the boats could not be dis
tinSuished for some seconds, the Con-
stance disappearing in the mist for quite
a little time. The Constance, however
made gain of two minutes and three
seconds on the eighth leg, both boats car

Glencairn rounded the second buoy on
the last round al 4:0105, being five min
utes and twenty seconds ahead of the
Constance. The Canadian boat did not
have such a favorable leg for the last,
but placed an additional nineteen seconds
between her and Constance, finishing at
4:15;l5, winning the race by five minutes
and thirty-nine seconds.
The Canadian boats supporters now
feel that there is every chance for the
cup remaining here for another year, as
after the storm which appears to be
brewing for tonight the wind is likely to
be of the lighter order tomorrow Follow
