TOO MUCH WIND.
Reliance Not Taken Out in
Fridays Heavy Blow.
No Chances Of NeedIessIy Straining
or Disabling the Defender.
She vii! Probably Remain Some Time
at New Rochelle.

New Rochelle, N. Y, May 1.-Despite
his desire to continue the tuning up
of the Reliance, Mr.. Iselin was cen
PEELED to defer it, today. There was
little moderation of the sharp gusts
that swept across the sound, so the Re
lance swung at her mornings all the
afternoon. The crew was busy about
her decks. but her sails were under
cover. Mr.. Isclin evidently did not re-
gard it safe or wise to expose the craft
to so severe test as todays condi-
lions made necessary, but manifested
an intention to guard against such ac-
oidents as have befallen Shamrock III
and intended the early trials of pre-
vious cup defenders.
The new cup defender Reliance
reached her mornings off c. Oliver Ise-
Inns residence, at an early hour to-
day. after a brisk run from Bristol, r
|. After passing Fishers Island at the
entrance to Long Island Sound, last
eVering. the Reliance started to run
away from her tender, so she was TAX
en- in tow by the Sunbeam and the two
proceeded for Glen Cove, Long Island
which was reached at 2 o'clock, this
morning. There the yacht remained
until 6 o'clock, when she was towed &c
New Rochelle.
c. Oliver Iselin said today, that the
Reliance had pleasant run from Bris-
tol. He did not know how long she
would be kept at New Rochelle. Mr.
Iselin said he hoped to have a brush
with the Constitution, which is lying
across the Sound at Glen Cove, but he
did not know whether the Constitution
would afford an opportunity.
f. D. Morgan, owner of the Column
bia, Mr.. Jselin said, had intimated to
him that he was not likely to bring the
Columbia up the sound to have a tria
with the Reliance until the first trial
races, which are set for May q. Mr.
Isel!n seemed anxious to try the Reli-
ance in company with both of the older
boats. 1t is probable that the Reliance
will be kept at New Rochelle until the
first trial races and will have daily
sails off here.

that the drafts were worthless. as
they are about seventy years old, and
the firms have gone out of existence
