mobilization of the fleets. which con-
tanned a summary of the orders which
he, as secretary of the navy had is
sued in making the naval preparations
for the war. That chapter was salts

Lay with an indication Of his APPROX

told of advances in price and only add

few sellers, the price jumped rapidly.

THE CONSTITUTION AGAIN WINS
She Defeats the Columbia in q Beau

New York, July 22.-The race between
the Constitution and the Columbia or
Long Island sound today again demon
strated that the Constitution is the
faster Acknowledgements. In a light
breeze and smooth water over a 81
mile course. the Columbia was defeat
ed 4 minutes and IS seconds, elapsed
time.
The cr1se of the New York Yacht
club opened brilliantly today with the
race for three valuable cups presented
by Commodore Ledyard. Naturally
the principal interest vas focused on
the cup defenders, Constitution and
Columbia, which came to the encoun-
ter in thoroughly fit condition.
The water was smooth and the wind
fairly steady from start to finish. The
Constitution started absolutely last OF
all the competitors. She ~overhauled
the hindmost very rapidly and several
minutes before the outward mark was
reached h held a proud position in
the van, beating the Columbia 4 mute
and Z seconds. Luffiing beautifully
around the mari she buCkled down to
a pretty thresh to windward and in this
short leg she gained Sc econds on her
rival. In the last leg she gained 6 sec
onds and romped past the stake boat
a winner Of the commodore's cup.
The extension of the bowsprit OF the
Constitution will necessitate a re-
measurement of h yacht for time al
lowance. Roughly estimated the Con-
stitution hould allow the Columbia 81
seconds over a 21-mile curse, so on cor
rected time the Constitution is a winner
by 3 minutes n q seconds. 1t should
be also borne in mind hat in the run
before the wind the Columbia was IA
vOred with a f~reShening breeze which
helped her to materially lessen the gar
once nearly a mile wide which separat-
ed her from her antagonist. Had il
MOI been for this the victory of the
Constitution would have been far more
