BIG YACHT RACE TODAY.
Constitution, Independence and Col
uInbin to Meet Off Newport

NEWPORT, R. T., July APPROPRIATIONS
are complete tonight for the great race
tomorrow between the Constitution, In
dependence and Columbia. 1t is probable
that there is more interest In this race
than in any yacht racing contest that
has ever before taken place between
American boats. The Independence Is an
unknown quantity. She is regarded by
many we'll known and experienced yachts
men as an experiment.
Then, too, the interest in tomorrow 8
race Is widespread and intense because,
should it proceed from start to finish
without accident, 1t will be the first real
test of the new Herreshoff creation, tho
Constitution.
She has thus far started in only two
races. In the first she suffered a slight
mishap herself. which many say was
enough to lose her the race. In the sec
ond trial, the old Columbia came to grief
and the contest was declared off. So, as
a matter of fact, her speed is yet untred.
There was some excitement in the bay
this afternoon when it was thought that
the two new boats were having a little
brush while out on trial spins. They
came together on the same tack. while
close hauled, entirely by accident, and for
fourteen minutes wat on'through racing
