IN A TEN KNOT BREEZE.
Columbia Comes 0u, Ahead Of the COnsiitu-
ton This Morning.
Sky Was Overcast With some Appear
anee of Rain, but Conditions
We're Otherwise Good.

Batemans point, July 29.-In ten
knot breeze and with other indications
promising good races, 10 sloops and
yawls and three schooners came out Of
Newport harbor before $3.50 O'Clock to-
day TO compete in their respective
classes for the Aston cups for sloops
and schooners, valued at $1,000 and $500
for each class respectively.
Heretofore the more valuable Of these
trophies has gone to the schooners, but
on account OF the Constitution and Col
umba being among the competitors
this year the donor reversed the condi-
tions and the $1,000 cup goes to the
sloop class for competition. The COM
mittee had arranged for a start at II
o'clock but fully an hour before that
time the two big yachts were outside
trying the wind and sea. They found
good breeze blowing straight out OF
the northwest and long roll setting In
from the ocean almost in the opposite
direction. The sky was overcast and
early In the morning gave some APP
pearance OF rain. But during the fore
noon the sun burst through once or
twice and began scattering the mist.
Half an hour an hour before the start
however there seemed TO be little
chance that observers ashore would see
much OF the race.
The starting signal for sloops was
given at 1905. The apparent starting
time OF the two big yachts as seen from
the shore was; Constitution, l:0l:45i
Columbia, 1l;Os:1O.
The starting time for schooners was

time for sohooners was: Corona, H.
