To meet this boat the Reliance has been
built. She is Of the, scow type. and the
difference between the bow OF the Con-

over the top of the water while the Constitu.

that Of the Columbia, cuts through the

Reliance Is Formally Turned Over
to Oliver Iselin by the f
r. Hereshoffs.

Much surprise was expressed in yacht-
ing as we'll as financial circles yesterday:
when the personnel of the Americas cup
yacht syndicate was made public. The
men are more prominent In rallroadsand
financial circles than in yachting. 4.: !
The syndicate is composed zof James j..

It was expected that the cup defender
would formally go into commission; after
being turned over by her builders to the;
syndicate, but the workmen did not finish
putting the final touches on the boat, and
the yacht was toWed to Newport about
sunset. - 80 = Z. *
The Reliance, however, was delivered to
the syndicate during the day, and 1t is
(expected that Mr.. Iselin will hoist his prf-
Vate signal on her off Newport to-day. ,,

day was the fixing of her mainsail, and by
hauling out the head of the sail consider
able fullness was gained at the luffs Sev-
eral Of the battonS were taken out and
shortened and then the; sail was hoisted.'
It set considerably better than on Sunday,
much of the slack along the leach having
been taken up. The club: topsal which
was used on Saturday and which is one of
the small ones, was also set for Few
minutes. Mr. Herreshor and Mr. Iselih

built Immediately and fortified very
strongly. The site chosen for the new
town was close to the old one, on lit
tie peninsula at the base of hill. The
rebuilt town became one of SPANS
most powerful strongholds; the walls
were built of massive granite, from 20
to 40 feet in height and ten feet thick;
at intervals of 200 ana 300 feet strongly
fortified watch towers were placed; q
deep moat divided the city from the
mainland, and three great gates gave
entrance and exit. The cost of all this
was enormous. M. Mcmahon, writing
of Panama, old and new, tells an anec.
dote relative to the money spend upon
these walls: "The story Is told of Q
king of Spain, who looking one day
from the window Of his palace, shaded
his eyes with his hand. A minister re.
marked the action. 4 am looking sale

whether the walls of new Panama wer,
made of silver or gold.
The new Panama, like the old, en-
joyed great prosperity, and up to TIA
was the principal entrepot of trade
on the Pacific coast. But at that time
trade between Europe and western
America began to be carried on around
Cape Horn; and this fact, added to the
decline of the Spanish possessions in
America, reduced the commerce of Pan
ANA to mere nothing; and SO it re-
manned until the establishment of the
