ALTERING CONSTITUTIONS RIG.
RADICAL CHANGE TO BE MADE IN HER
SAILs-IMPROvEMENT EXPECTED.

Bristol, r. l., July 19.-When the Constitution
finishes her with the squadron OF the New
York Yacht Club. radical change is TO be made
in the boats rig determined upon by Mr. Dun
and Nat" Herreshoff, in order that she may
prove to be more speedy then she in the New
port races.
While Mr.. Crowninshield turned out the Inde-
pendence with big lee helm. the trouble with the
Constitution has been directly the opposite for she
carried 10 excessive degree a weather helm
producing such a strain the rudder that IL
griped almost athwartships when there any,
thing like a snap to the breeze. and when she
the wind.
The decision arrived at that II the Constitu-
ion had hoist on her mainsail and less extent
on the head she would not have been beaten by
the Columbia In the last two races and accordingly
IL was determined to cut from the leach OF the
mainsail width of three feet OF canvas. aud cut
from the end OF the boom and gaff correspond
ing number OF feet 10 comply with the plan
of rig. This. 1t is believed will do away with the
weather helm, removing the leverage the after
end OF the boat brought about by the big wide
nainsail. and will give increased and better point
ing qualities. 1t is also agreed that such change
will make the boat steer comparatively easier
