Bateman's Point, Aug. ll.-Constitu-
lion, entirely reiitted, decisively defeated
Columbia over a 80 mile course in 10
knot breeze. The race was the first OF
another series Of three to be sailed off this
point, and additional interest attached to
the race because it was the first time since
Constitution had received the alterations
to her rig she had been given a new
mast several feet longer than the old one
and other alterations designed to improve
the boat had been made. The yawls Ailsa
Navahoe and Vigilant and the sloop'
Rainbow and Virginia also took part il
the racing.
