Of wind and she was tout Of it for the
day. When the accident occurred the Con-
stitution was half mile behind the Re
lance and was leading the Columbia by
an equal distance.
Reliance and Columbia finished the race,
but it had become procession, for Co
lumbia was never formidable after the
first five miles had been sailed Reliance
crossed the finish line a winner by eight
minutes and q seconds. Constitution had
sailed a game race until the accident
She had been handled skillfully but had
been unable to hold the fast Reliance.
After a bit of jockeying at the starting
line Captain Rhodes put the Constitution
in the position he coveted on the wind

Captain Barr had sent the Reliance the
whole length of the starting line clear to
the mark opposite the committee boat
before he would give way and permit the
Constitution to cross and take the posi-
tion. The luffng game continued after
starting line was crossed and until the
Reliance's superior speed had pulled her
out of bad position.
Reliance had drawn away half a mile

Reliance beat the Columbia four min
