THE CONSTITUTION NOT IMPROVED BY
ALTERATIONS.
The recent alterations which were intended
70 give better lead 10 the peak halyards and
thus hold the peak up better to its work. did
not exhibit any Of the expected Improvement,
allowing the yacht TO aim at a better course
AS Butler Duncan said after the race, The boat
was going faster through the water" but the
general directions Of the two wholly differ
ent. and at 1:17:4O the Columbia at least
a quarter Of a mile TO windward. AT this mo-
ment the Columbia up in the wind and
stayed there. The Constitution continued on
her starboard tack for forty seconds longer
and then came about and stood over on the port
tack until she was directly TO windward Of the
Columbia. It took her minutes and 40
onds after she tackled to come to a position
directly 10 windward Of the Columbia. Then,
while Bars set UP the bowsprit shrouds,
the Columbia had her foresail pulled across her
during most of the five minutes in which she
was in the wind. The Constitution was esti-
mated to have gained a lead Of half a mile,
chiefly TO windward. by the time both got sail
ing again.
At 1:lO the three big yawIs got their start.
Percy Chubbs Vigilant crossed first at 1:10:29,
Henry Redmonds imported Ailsa following at
1:10:40. and r. P. CarrolTs Navahoe third. AT
1:12:29 these big fellows were carrying their
largest clubtopsas, and there was every pros
pect Of good race.
AILSA OBLIGED TO QUIT.
Unfortunately the Ailsa, in the heavy pitch

lowered her jib at once to save her spars. She

der reduced canvas. Her Hishap was the more
remarked because she was drawing out a good
lead, and apparently had her own heavy day
with every probability OF winning. She was
sailed by the captain of the English cutter Hes
ter. as her own skipper broke his leg on the
previous day while in port.
Owing 10 the delay in getting her topsaiI

long lead gained at the start.
W. X. Vanderbilt was first seen in the lead
when the yachts were well TO windward of Point
Judith In this region the black Virginia climbed
along the weather side of the Rainbow. and in
the distance seemed to be going ahead fast.
BREEZE FRESH AND STRONG.
The committee called the breeze between hf-
teen and twenty knots an hour, south, southwest
true On the press tug 1t called eighteen
miles hour, with occasional twenty, and
there was plenty Of white water the different
fleets plunged on their way TO the windward
mark. The Constitution was having a hard bat
tie for the Lead and at 1:5o she was being sailed
so close that her clubsaI was almost eTnptied OF
wind. AS Mr.. Duncan said later, he would have
preferred il down on deck. The Columbia
beating up on the Constitution enough TO have
her wind split at long range in way that made
her tack at times when there was no necessity,
except 10 escape.
COLUMBIA GAINS STEADILY.
When the Constitution turned to starboard at
2:26:3O for the long run 20 the windward mark
the Columbia continued a few minutes longer
and then, when the Constitutions distance was
dead TO windward, she got tailed out into a stern
chase. Some thought the Constitution gain
ing. but the time at the mark showed that the
Colurnbia had gained. They both came in nicely
10 leeward of the mark, and sailed round it
easily being timed officially as foIloWs: The
Constitution. 2.59:40 and the Columbia, 3:O1 80
THE difference between these umings was
minute 50 seconds, showing considerable gain
for the Columbia, according 10 the figures IN the
oN7cial table. There were two sets OF umlngs
at this mark given out, The first showed the
Tolumbfa about a minute further from the
Constitution at the end Of the windward work.
with only two seconds loss in the fifteen mile
run The second set of figures suggests the
Columbia TO be nearer az the outer mark and
losing more in the run. No doubt these tim
ines were taken by different people and from
different points OF view when the turn was
taken but they do not affect the official finish
