time. Constitution is winner by min
untes. q seconds.
1t should also be borne in mind that
in the run before the wind the Columbia
was favored with a freshenng breeze,
which helped her to materially lessen
the gap, once nearly a mile wide, which
separated her from her antagonist If it
had not been for this the victory of the
Constitution would have been far more
decisive and convincing.
A pleasant incident of the regatta was
the appearance of the celebrated old
schooner America which a half century
ago won the cup for which the Shamrock

successfully in 1881, was ais, one Of the

Plttsburg Phil has some great ideas

believe they would make many horses
run consistently who do not now under

Week. 1 also believe they would be good
things for riders. For instance, Shaw
came back to the scales today, after rid
ing Sun Shower, and he could hardly
open his ey IS for mud. Every jockey
who had trailing position was the
same. Shaw said he had not the slightest
idea where he finished in the race as he
was blind from the mud early in the
race. Drivers of trotters use goggles,
and they are not enarly as much incon-
Nenlenced as rider of running horse
With isinglass goggles for rider and
horse feel satisfied that horses would
run more consistent
"Of course 'Phil's' arguments will be
looked upon as ridiculous by some Of the
Old fogies, but there is much merit to
them as well as progression. One often

not pull them to the good. 1t was the

who like odds and played them quit
with more money than it had been their
good fortune to handle for many a day.
