Oyster Bay, y. Y, August 24.-The
Columbia glided across the finish line
at minutes past o'clock this after
the Constitution, and the most cordial
salute that greeted the old champion
came from the steam yacht Erin, hav-
ing on board Sir Thomas Upton, who
had himself been beaten three times by
the same boat. There was no second,
for the Constitution had quit
After sailing once around the trian-
gular course of the Sewanhaka club
with the Columbia AZ seconds a winner,
having gained on every leg, both boats
ran into a terrific rain squall. They
groped about for some time in the
downpour and shifting breezes hardly
able to see two lengths ahead. At last
the weather cleared a bit. The Colum-
bia picked up the mark which was the
first on the second round and stood for
it. The Constitution, however, had al
ready withdrawn. Having sent down
her big topsail she was headed for
oyster Bay. The Columbia kept on,
finished the race and takes the cup.
Today's race marks the finish Of the
preliminary or tuning up series be-
tween the Constitution and the Colum-
bia- They now come to the trial races
off Newport under the auspices of the
New York Yacht, Club. The boat win
ming two out Of three of these races,
provided there has been a fair test of
speed, in the average cup conditions,
will undoubtedly be selected by the
American cup committee to sail in the
international races against the Sham
rock II.
Beginning on July 1st. the two can
didates for the honor of defending the
cup have made nineteen starts. Out
Of these there have been sixteen fin
ishes, an unusually large number The
! Constitution has won eight ana the
| Columbia eight; but these figures, TAX
! en- alone, do not quite represent the
respective merits Of the two boats as
