ANOTHE RACE TO- Y.
Constitution Started Few Rivets In
Saturdays Contest.

Bristol r. l., Aug. 1.-THE Constitu-
tion did not escape injury in yesterdays
race off Newport and the boat arrived
here this morning in tow of her tender,
the Mount Morris, to be put in shape
for the race tomorrow The result OF
Yesterdays racing in the strong wind
off Brenton's Reef lightship was the
starting of some of the rivets in the
forward plates of the yacht in the re-
gion of the water line on the port DOW
and directly abaft of the forend of the
water line Whether the longer main
mast caused an undue leverage on the
forward section or not when the craft
was close hauled, is question demand
ing more than snap Judgment. But
whatever the cause, the pipe bracink in
the interior of the forward section near
the stepping platform worked to such
an extent that the strain fell nthe
rivets in the spot already designated
and without the proper support from
inboard, pulled partly through the rivet
holes, allowing some water to trickle
inboard through the defective rivet
holes when the craft was heeled.
William Butler Duncan, ir,, had the
Constitution anchored off the boat shop
when she arrived this morning. The
craft was then heeled to starboard by
letting off the main boom and splnna-
ker boom on this side of the boat and
also shifting some weights. Means
were then found to lift the bow of the
boat about six inches ont of the water.
Tn this way the iron workers could car
hot. n f1n9 n
alongside.
The, heeling down of the boat to star
board answered as well as though the
craft had been taken on marine rail
way, When the job was accomplished
about $3.50 D. m. the starboard bow was
heeled out of the water and the slight
buckle was found in the plate at the
water line. All the rivets in that sec
tion about the buckle We're hammered
wv +1,a irnr workers until they were in
perfect condition. William Butler Dun
can IT., said that the Constitution will
race tomorrow off Newport, and, about
the rfvets said that only a few of them
had started -.
The newly fitted mainmast and hol-
low wooden topmast worked satisfac-
torily in the race Saturday The hol-
low topmast reduces the weight about
450 pounds in way overcoming the
additional weight of the steel main
mast. A hollow topmast on Bristol
built cup defenders is an innovation.
This new spar gave not the slightest
trouble in Saturdays race. The Con-
stitution was towed to Newport about
5:45 p. m.

SHAMROCK II, ARRIVES.
REACHED SANDY NOOK LIGHT
SHIP LATE LAST NIGHT
At 1880 O'Clock She Anchored just In
stde-Met by Several Tugs That HAD
Been Cruising About for Her for Two
Days-Made the Trip In Less Than
Fourteen Days Including Days stop
at the Azores-One Day Better Than the
g ~ onr
Old Shamrock.

Sandy Hook, N. j., Aug. 1.-Sham-
rock III, Sir Thomas Lipton's second
challenger for Americas cup in tow OF
her consort, the big steam yacht Erin,
arrived off Sandy Hook lightship short
ly after II o'clock tonight and anchored
for the night just inside the lightship
half an hour latter. A newspaper tug
and the tugboat James r. Lawrence
with David Barrie, Sir Thomas per
sonal representative in this country on
board, had been cruising off Sandy
Hook for two days, awaiting the ap-
the lightship the Erin burned her sig
nails green and red with green star
and the tugs ran alongside. Greetings
on both sides were hearty, but beyond
saying that the yacht had encountered
fine weather neither Captain Matthews
of the Erin nor Captain Sycamore of
the challenger would give details of
the trip. That they regarded 1t as a fine
performance was evident from Captain
Matthews ejaculation of surprise when
informed that the tugs had been on
the lookout for her for two days.
Give her a chance" he shouted. AS
a matter of fact the actual time of
Shamrock II is less than IA days count
ing her stop of one day at ST. Michaels.
Azores, day better than the time of
the old Shamrock, which was far and
away better than that of any former
challenger.
Captain Matthews first inquiry after
the greeting was Of the challenger's
opponent, the Constitution and when
he learned that she had beaten Column
bia on Saturday he expressed his pleas
ure' and then regret when he was in
formed of Columbia's accident In the
race.
The yachting sharps on board the
tug had no opportunity tonight to size
I'D the latest aspirant for the honor Of
lifting the cup which the Americans
have defended successfully over fifty
years. She lay simply a thin black
smudge on the dark waters, looking
strange with her stunted jury mast
and queer sloop rig with her jib and
forestry carried inboard. She carries
the jury mast of the old shamrock but
her topmast is Is feet shorter, so that
the distance from deck to truck is
probably not over 30 feet. She Will be
towet1 in tomorrow by the tug Robert
Haddon, the first tuglto speak her, ufl-
der instructions from Sir Thomas he
fore she left to accept the first tow of
fered After passing quarantine she
will be towed to the man-of-war an
chorage, off Tompkinsville, and later
to the Erie Basin where she will be
stripped and her mast stepped prepar-
atory to going into dry dock.

ENGLAND,s FRIENDsHIP.
U. s. N. Chaplain Says God shouId be
Thanked for 1t in Spanish War.


New York, Aug. 11.--Chaplain II. w.
Jones, U. S. N, spoke tonight in the
Church of the Strangers, this city, on
"The Life and Work of Chaplain of
the Navy" incidentally he told story
bearing on the relations of England
toward the United States during the
Spanish American war. He said in this
connections:
Though not being a lover of war,
l think that many of us have learned
to thank God that the conflict with
Spain was forced upon us. 1t has
shown the world what we are. We can
also thank Him for the love of England
in the matter, for although we knew
England's friendship, perhaps you
have no idea of the extent Of her
friendship or her love. This last win
ter when at Barbados, we found the
West Indies British fleet there, and in
vited one of the British naval officers
of high rank on board our ship to dine
with us. The conversation turned on
the powers opposed to us during the
war with Spain and the British officer
exclaimed:
Gentlemen, perhaps you knew that
England was with you, but you have
no idea of what England really did for
you. l was on leave when the Spanish
American war broke out, and together
with several other officers was imme-
diately ordered back to duty. We had
at two points sixty three of our ships
waiting to be ordered out in case of
any naval demonstration being made
against the United States by the
other powers. If any such demonstra-
tion had been made we would have
headed them off"

New Haven this morning for Mantle
on special train that was scheduled
to leave at $50 o'clock and as every
thing was in readiness it Is probable
that the train carrying them arrived
on scheduled time. The baggage Of

last evening, and everything will hs
in shape for the arrival of the regiment
tomorrow evening. The second section
of the machine gun platoon left this
city last night for Mantle and just
previous to their departure there was
an accident that almost proved serious.
The gun and caisson were on the Whit
ing street side of the armory and just
as two men were to take
charge the horses made a bolt down
Whiting street One man rides the
near horse and the other drives and no
sooner had they taken their positions
than the horses started on their mad
run They turned up State street,
crossed George and continued up to
Fair street on State and when they got
to that corner they were turned up
Fair street by big effort Of the driver
and rider The horses were going at
such a high rate of speed that one of
them turned completely over and the
other was thrown on its back on the
neck of the other horse The gun and
caisson We're toppled over but neither
was injured to any great extent The
men were of course thrown to the
pavement and Charles Podall, who was
riding on one of the horses, was thrown
heavily. His leg was hurt and the
wound was dressed at Hewitt's drug
store. Both of the men were able to
continue on their way to camp but the
horses We're so badly injured that they
will be replaced by new ones. Lieut..
Marley remained over and hired two
new horses which will be taken on the
train with the companies this morn
ing. One of the horses dashed back
into State street and up George and
was finally caught at the corner of
Church and George streets by po-
liceman.
