CANADIAN BOAT WON
GIencairn Took Third Race for the
Seawanhaka Gun.


DORVAL, Que, Aug. with weather
favorable to his boat and good seaman
ship, Duggan, the skipper of the Cana
dian defender, Glencairn, won his first
race and the third Of the series for the
SeaWanhaka cup, this afternoon. From
the very start, when the Glencairr cross
the line nine seconds ahead, it was an
parent that the Canadian boat was at a
very much greater advantage toward the
American challenger than she had been
yet during the present races, and while
on the first leg, which was 9. beat to
windward, the Constance rounded the
buoy f1fty-three seconds ahead of the
Glencairn, the spirits of the supporters of
the Canadian boat rose high 1t was
either to be q GlenCairn victory or else
very close finish.
1t had been thought that the Constance
would have gained more on this leg. as
yesterday she had shown pretty conclu-
stvely that she could beat to WindWard
better than the Canadian boat. After
rounding the first buoy the Constance set
a spinnaker we'll forward, using il as a
balloon jib, while the Glencairn held on
under reaching jib for quite time, when
she followed her rivals example. Here
something seemed to be the matter with
the Glencairn's foresaiI and Duggan took
IN MS large Jib. Both boats carried full
AAAoA110ct11SJ anu lIlS GlSuCd1Tn appeared TO
gain slightly, and when the second buoy
was rounded by the Constance at pos 20.
1t was shown that the Glencairn was
thirty-five seconds behind, having reduc-
ed her rivals lead eighteen seconds.
On the first leg of the second round,
which was another beat to the wind
ward, the GIencairn held we'll on to the
American boat. Sometimes one seemed to
be gaining and then the other The

than before and she rounded the six
mile buoy just forty-one seconds after
the Constance, having lost only six sec
onds on this leg to WindWard
The Constance now followed new tao
tics by trying to force the Glencairn into
the shores, so as to prevent the Cana
dian boat from blanketing her but the
Glencairn went right on and finally did
succeed in blanketing the Constance. The
Glencairn began to pull a little ahead
and as she neared the eight-mile buoy
she slowly increased the distance be-
tween her and the Constance, rounding
the buoy at 2:51:37, just twenty-five sec
on0s ahead of the Constance, having
gained one minute and three seconds in
this two-mile run before the wind.
The wind had now dropped somewhat
and the hopes of the Canadians ran
high. That their hopes werewolf founded
leg to the windward the Glencairn gain
ed thirteen seconds on the Constance,
During this leg both boats jockeyed, going
about and about in an effort to blanket
enc another. Glencatrn finally passed
the ten-nnile mark at 3:22:2O, the Con-
stance following thirty-five seconds later.
1t was now a sure race for the Canadian
boat, the only question being the amount
of the lead. The wind was becoming
lighter, and this run before the wind was
the slowest of the day. The Glencairn
gradually forged ahead, and finished
three minutes and six seconds ahead Of
the Constance. Following is the official
start, finish and elapsed time:
