THE CONSTITUTION FAST.
SHE BEATS COLUMBIA IN ACTUAL
SAILING TINE.

But as the Boats Have Not Been Re-

Newport, r. l.. Aug. 1.-THE Consti-
tuition covered the triangular course of
80 miles to-day in 80 seconds less time
than the Columbia. The champion of
'ss, however. wins the race on time
allowance by about 80 seconds. No cor
rected time can be given as the boats
have not yet been remeasured, as re-
quired. In previous races the Consti-
tuition had allowed the Columbia l min
ute and II seconds. What changes in
measurement the new rig of the Con-
stitution has made is not known, but
it is estimated she allows the old boat
only a few seconds less time if any.
The finish to-day was the noteworthy
and only exciting feature of the con-
test. When within a mile of the line
the Constitution made short tack
that undoubtedly lost her the
race. Capt. Rhodes put the

Immediately tackled again. While the
new boats sails were twice shaking
in stays the Columbia with good full,
still on the starboard tack, was bowl
ing along at good speed, headed only
a few hundred yards to the lee of the
line. In the short time that the Con-
stitution was gathering Roadway, after
the last tack, the Columbia reached
through her and went ahead, though
still slightly in the lee of the new boat.
1t was an exciting moment and every
eye was strained to watch what prom
ised to be finish full of sensation. The
Constitution put about and made for
the line. Columbia followed at once,
but the new boat, having a better
speed at the time, was quicker in stays
and was well away while the old boat
was lacking. She luffed under the bow
of the committee boat exactly min
ute ahead of the Columbia. But she
had started 81 seconds ahead and thus
in actual time only beat the old boat
