NEWPORT, R. l.. July 22.-The last
run OF the New York Yacht club cruise

almost as disappointing as that of yes

ers were concerned Within a mile of the
start the Reliance and Columbia struck

quick turn OF the wheel saved the Con-

the race. The other two boats kept on,
but on getting out beyond Gay Head, a
stiff puff of wind snapped off the t0pmast
of the Constitution, After the wreck had
been cleared away she proceeded and
crossed the, finish line nearly three-quar-
tiers of an hour after the Reliance, SO that
the latter boat had practically a walkover.
The cruise ends with the two wins to
the credit Of both the Reliance and the
Constitution.
A diver examined the fin Of the Reli-
ance after her arrival in port, but could
discover no damage so that she probably
will be in the race tomorrow. The Con-

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS,N N. J.. July
22.-S1r Thomas Upton watched AJAX
iously from the deck of the Erin to-
day while for an hour his priceless
cup challenger was temporarily lost to
his view behind a blank wall of blind
ing fog. When the beautiful yacht
came limping off the fog with her gait
broken Sir Thomas was so pleased to
see her safe that the accident was of
little Importance to him.
The steel gaff was bent and the'riv-
cts pulled out about ten feet from the
mast as the yacht jumped into a sharp
tumble of sea. 1t did not break en-
tirely in two. The yacht has a spare
gaff at the Erie basin and it will be
In place in time for tomorrow's race.
The dense fog which shut down on
the racing yachts when they had sail
ed about five miles of the last leg of
the course put an end to the racing.
For an hour afterward they sailed for
the lightship, each hidden from view of
the other and both out of sight from
the Erin, though anxiously watched for.
They had reduced sail but it was dan
gerous running the precious challenger
in the pathway of the trans Atlantic
liners.
The great Majestic passed the light
ship and disappeared in the direction
which Shamrock III. was coming long
before the challenger reached the light
ship, but passed her without mishap.
Shamrock III. had been heading the old
boat by five minutes. wheC the fog
shut down SO that when Shamrock I.
was the first to appear at Sandy

ed. the anxiety of the Erin was in
creased. The Erin's whistle joined with
that of the lightship as guide to the
missing boat and ten minutes after the
old boat she appeared sailing under
her jib only and was taken in tow of
the Erin.
Shamrock III. had beaten the old
boat three minutes forty-five seconds
to the turn and was five minutes ahead
when the fog rolled in. The course was
beat to windward Is miles south
southeast from Sandy Hook lightship
and spinnaker run back.
Under clear skies and in a snappy
10-knot wind the Shamrocks crossed
the starting line side by side with

by half her length. Half an hour after

two had met and each time Briggs man
aged to stay with the champion the full
length of the bout. An agreement to
break clean was costly to Corbett who
does his create execution when fastened
to his opponent.
Briggs used excellent ring judgment
and kept away from Corbetts swings or
ducked when he was pulled in close. AS
consequence Corbett failed to land any
damaging blows and Briggs was fresh
at the finish.
Corbett's poor condition was evident, as
he refused to set a fast pace. Briggs
grew more confident as the bout pro-
crossed. and went at the champion with
left swings to the body, but was content
to let the champion do the worrying. For
five rounds the bout was slow, Corbett
simply stabbng his left. trying to get
near enough to reach over his right, but
he. never got a chance. as Briggs was
ready to back away or duck under the
powerful blows. The champion was faul-
ty In measuring distance, as many of his
swings upon which he depended fell short
or his .WildneSS carried him into the ropes
The seventh was most vicious as Cor
bett at this point mixed the fight and ell
deavored to finish it. Briggs, by avoiding
Corbetts rushes and keeping his head,
stood the gaff well. The remainder of the
