Newport r. /. May 13-In one of the most salts
factory runs ever seen Narragansett Bay, the
new Cup yacht Reliance down from Bristol
this afternoon and picked up her mornings back
Of the torpedo station
The Reliance left Bristol shortly after l p m.
under full sail The wind blew fresh from the
southwest. and it was necessary for the big racer
to beat down the bay The Reliance with mainsail
trimmed fat and all sail drawing. SKINNED hack
and forth across the bay In fast time, guided by
the skilled nand of Captain Barr. c. Oliver Isein
followed the craft in his launch carefully scruti-
nized his big racer until the Reliance off
Gould Island and then ran alongside in the launch
and climbed aboard the big boat
At exactly 1886 p m the Reliance picked up her
moorings and the sails were furled for the night.
The run of the yacht to-day the most salts
fastory yet, and the candidate for Cup honors
showed up in wonderful form
1t was proved to-day that the Reliance is re-
markable boat in beating TO windward, and
d6gbedly this will prove her strongest point when
trlaI races Tomorrow morning the Reliance
The yacht is to stay for day at New-London to
enable her tender, the Sunbeam. to go back to
Stonington for new narhtha launch. 1t is expected
that the Reliance will continue up the Sound on
FRIDAY. and will be hauled out for cleaning at
City Island on Saturday, Mr.. Isen remaining at

the Reliance can go to the wind. Not much
her managers are assured she i can hotd her own
on this point The desire this time is get her to
point higher than the Columbia The brush with
the Columbia at Glen Cove ten days ago gave Mr..
Isein some data as to her pointing qualities, and
ever since that time Captain Barr has been pitch
ing her up into the wind, putting in lighter and
lighter sails.
Several experiments were tried on board the
yacht to-day under direction of Mr.. Iselin. The
main boom was swung on board to decide how
it affected the trim of the boat while she was
at anchor. To preclude the possibility of the
spreader bending buckling backward a wire stay
was attached to the spreaders and the masthead
strut This is hauled taut and leads from half
way out each spreader arm nbOard to the
tip end OF the strut, where 1t is fastened. The
wire connection between the strut and the spread
ers brings them in closer union with each other
giving added strength to the top hamper.
