CONSTITUTION KNOCKED OUT
Met With. an Accident Shortly
 After the Start

Reliance and Columbia Had the Race All to Themselves-Columbia Had the Best of the Race for the First
 Half of the Course-Later Met With
 an Accident and Had to Give Up.
 Bateman's Point, R. l., July 2.-For the hrst time since the ninety-footers began their contests off Newport, the early conditions to-day gave promise ot excellent racing weather. The sky was clear and the southwestern which has blown the yachts over the courses off Brenton's Reef in record time for the past two days was not only still in evidence this morning, but seemed to be blowing stronger than ever.
 After two days of good winds from off shore the sea naturally showed con- siderable more movement this morning than at any time this week, and the surf dashed high all along the rocky shores from Point Judith to SeacOnnet-
 The strong winds which have pre- vailed for the past three days since the Hbig yachts began racing off here have given the boats the very best test possi- ble of the strength of their rigging, and
  tion that the accidents have been only few, and those but trihing. The Rei- ance yesterday broke a small block, and the Columbia and Constitution also had 8 little trouble with their top- masts on Tuesday, but repairs have easily been made so that there have been scarcely any delays. The crews this morning had the head sails on all the yachts hofsted in stops before the breakfast hour and by half-past were making preparations to set the great mainsails.
 Anticipating something more than an ordinary breeze, all three of the racers sent up their smallest clubtopsails be- fore leaving for the start. The regat- ta committee started out for the light ship shortly before II o'clock, but be- fore leaving it was announced that the ] committee would endeavor to send the yachts on triangular course. On get ting outside the regatta committee found that the wind was about south west by west and blowing fully fifteen miles an hour, while some of the puffs probably ran up to almost twenty.
 The big steam yacht Riviera, which Colonel R. M. Thompson had placed at the disposal of the committee for the series, and on which the committee will probably be during the club cruise, rolled and jumped in the sea until the spray dashed up almost to the bridge. The Riviera reached the lightship at 11:1O, but at that time none of the yachts had appeared and it seemed probable that the committee would again have to delay the start.
 1 At 1910 the committee hoisted the signals for a triangular course. The start was as follows: Columbia 12:3O.4S Reliance 12:32 and the Constitution 12:32. The yachts had sailed scarce | ly one-half mile when the gaff of the Constitution suddenly came down. She at once withdrew. Passing in in tow of her tender it was seen that her gaff had broken off twenty. feet from the jaws. The Columbia and the Reliance were having a-creat race. The Colum- bia was still leading and it looked as if in the beat to windward she had gained on the Reliance a trif1e.
 At 2:45, off Point Judith, Columbia met with a mishap and had to retire from the race.

ADVENTURE in VENEZUELA.
English Member of Parliament Re-
Iates Quaint Experience.

English Member of Parliament Re-
Iates Quaint Experience.
A member of the British parliament,
according to a London cable dispatch
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, tells a
quaint story of adventure in Venezuela
in times past.
A baronet, while on a visit to the re-
public, had interviews with certain
members of the government. He dined
with them In the evening and retired
at a late hour. He was awakened from
his sleep by a noise in his room and
saw, as he thought, one Of his hosts
disappear through the bedroom win
dow leading to the yeranda.
Concluding that this was a polite
custom of the country, the visitor re-
turned to sleep. but in the morning he
found his trousers upon the floor, their
pockets turned inside out. His old
fashioned, highly decorated chain
purse was gone. but its contents were
on the ground. His gold edged cigar
case and some gold charms attached
to his fob had also vanished.
Ihe Engl1shmen went straight to the
seat Of government and complained to
one Of the ministers, who expressed
dismay and was thereupon Informed
that the person seen in the room bore a
resemblance to himself.
Every strange" replied the minister,
'for there is no one alive who resem-
bles me-"
I'm that case" replied his visitor
dryly, you should have no difficulty
in securing the restoration of my prop
erty."
Later in the day the Englishman dis
covered an anonymous package upon
his table. Opening the cover he found
all the missing articles save the gold
edged cigar case and n of the charms,
a little goddess in diamonds and emer-
aids.
