THE CONSTITUTION LEADING.
Final Race of the series Being Sail
ed ON Newport.

NEWPORT. r. l.. Aug. IA light east
, eTly wind and low hanging clouds that
gave promise OF rain made the conditions
for the third and hual race Of the New
port rieS Of the New York Yacht Club
somewhat unsatisfactory this morning
{ The start today was scheduled for Ills.
and was 90 be a ffteeu-mile beat to wind
ward and return. from the BrentOns Reef
Lightship. There were just six yachts en-
tered in the race today. They We're Con-
stitution and Columbia. two 70-footers
/ Rainbow and Virginia. and tho Navah3e
and Vigilant This race Will be the last
! TO De held over the Newport course until
the trial races. which begin ON August u
and continue on September ! and
The starting signal was fired al ll.3o. At
that time the wind was very light from
/ the southeast. The course was a fifteen
mile heat to windwaTd and return.
Both the Constitution and the Columbia
were over the line before the gun was
fired and each had TO return. The Con
stitution crossed first. followed over half
minute later by the Columbia and the
boats left the line with the Constitution "a
few hundred yards TO westward Of the old
boat
The new boat gained constantly on the
Columbia and by 1925 was half "a mile
ahead
Some additional interest in this years
race is found in the fact that the Iuds-
pcndence was expected 10 20 out and sail
over the course with the two Herresh0n
so-footers. OF course, ii was not intended
that the Lawson boat should go very near
the racers, but that would not prevent
comparison ds TO how she was footing
with them.
The telegram received by those in
charge Of the Boston boat from Iarch-
mont last night TO the effect that the
yacht was not eligible for the gU-fOotcr
races 10 be held by the Larchmont Club
on August l6. Il. and l9 excited considera-
f. hle comment in NewpOrt this morning.
Newport contains many partisans Of the
Boston boat. and they had a great deal to
say about Larchmont yachtsmen. Just
what the future movements OF the Law
