well filled with sailors the yacht Constitu-

w. Butler Duncan, who broke the tradi-
tiOnal bottle of wine her glistening bow

into the sea. The ceremony was simple. G.
Oliver Iselin, who raced the Columbia two
years ago, says he thinks the Constitution
is a-larger and finer boat and is sure that
she will make a record.
The interest in the launching aside from
the first dip, was in the lines of the Con-
stitution. 1t was easily seen that the
Herreshoffs have turned out a craft that
is exGuisitely balanced and will be nerv-
ously responsive to the slightest touch Of
the helm. In fact she will spin round in a
manner amazingly swift to a man who
lacks experience in the ways of a down-to-
date Herreshoff flyer, and takes his first
trick at her wheel.
The exact measurements of the Consti-
tuition have not been officially announced
but her approximate dimensions are

NIGHT. OF HIGH SCORES
CANDIDATES FOR CITY CHAMPION
SHIP DO GOOD BOWLING.
Bryson Made the High Average and
Scored n Difficult Spnrc-Pritch-
EFT Made a Score of EOS.

Charles Gardner. a local bowling en-
thusiast. probably has as good an opinion
of r. III. Bryson as a bowler as any per-
son in the city. for last night when Bryson
left the 4-7-9-l0 pins on the alley in the
individual championship games at the City
Club alleys Gardner offered TO buy refresh
ments for every person present if Bryson
made the spare. Ii seemed improbable for
Bryson TO make the shot, but he rolled
ball down the alleys that knocked off all
four of the pins. This spare was only
small example of the good work done by
the four men in the games. Fifteen 200
scores were made in the thirty-six scores
rolled. Pritchett made the highest scope
with 25S. Graft was next with 30. Jay
high score was 242 and Brysons high score
was 225 In the nine games rolled by Bry-
son he made an. average of l9S 40. The
averages of the other men for the nine
gas were: Pritchett, 1S4 1-9; Graft, 1872,
and Jay, 1872. Graft and Jay both rolled a
total of lbs pins during the evening. Bry
son lost the second game to Graft, when the
latter rolled PSI, and the third game TO Jay,
when Jay rolled 242. Pritchett rolled three
200 scores against Jay. The scores were as
