fourth race of the Glen Cove series be-
tween the Reliance, Constitution, and
Columbia If the wind holds, the sloops
will be sent over the same course as last
Tuesday, which will give the yachts two
reaches and beat to windward.
The fine showing of the Constitution
in Tuesdays contest has given increased
interest to the race today and long be-
fore noon, the scheduled hour for the
start, there was concourse of steam
yachts about Matinicock Point.
Each Sloop Has Friends.
Each sloop has its following. and
there has developed quite rivalry be-
tween the friends of the Reliance and
the Belmont faction, who believe the
Constitution never. had fair showing
two years ago. and should have been Sc
1ected to defend the Americas Cup in
stead CT the Columbia. Even the crews
are infected with this rivalry and in
consequence there is plenty of snappy
action in setting, and taking in sail
when race is on. There has been no

the crews and Captains Barr and Rhodes

Reliance Spills Wind.

Because Of the wind. which was heavy
at times, Captain Barr did not kite his
largest club topsail. but sent aloft one
of medium size. There has been some
comment among yachtsmen since Tues
days race to the effect that the Reliance
does not seem TO carry her sail well in
fifteen knots of wind or over. She SEEM
ed 20 spill much wind at times and when
a strong puff caught her the sloop would
head right up in the wind. Captain Barr
had to have some assistance at the
wheel to steer her and keep her off from
the wind.
The wind today, because of its strong
puffs. will give the new sloop a good
trying out. Captain Barr is rapidly find
ing out the Reliance's weaknesses. and
his handling of the new boat has excited
general commentator among shippers
and yachtsmen. Shortly after o'clock,
rain began to fall.

Those who got a peep at the ticker say
1.-The flyer" has been running in his old

Schick, of Harvard, and Moulton. OF
Yale, his most formidable opponents in
the 100-yard dash. The little sprinter
IS entered only in the 100-yard dash.
and he believes he can duplicate his
performance of last year. when he ne
gotiated the distance in 900 3-5. 1t
was on the Berkeley oval. at the last
intercollegiate meet, with Schick, of
Harvard, in the race, that Arthur low
cred the record for the distauce last
year. The conditions then were all
most favorable, and the same will in
all probability hold good this year. and
in his present form Arthur Duffey
should make the 100 yards in 0:09 2-5
Arthur will have to extend himself.
since Harvard's representative is the
one who pressed him so hard last year
that it was al question of breaking the
record or losing the race. The Yale
man is also one of the best in the BUSH
ness. and Will surely prove a factor in

Woodey the Mascot.

At present there IS no trainer at
Georgetown, but Theodore Woodey. the
negro rubber who has been with
Duffey for three or four years, has kept
his eye on the champ" and says Arthur
is 'gwine do sumthin' at dat Mott
Haben." If there is anyone in the coun-
try who should know what Duffey is ca
pable of doing, Theodore is the lad. He
has accompanied Arthur on almost all of
his trips, and the champion now believes
IT next to impossible to win without
Theodore near a. hand.
Was in England, Too.
When Arthur won the handsome silver
worlds championship cup in England in
1900, Theodore was there and saw him
do II. When he ran IN Boston upon his
return and won further laurels Theodore
was also there. When Arthur smashed
the record and startled the athletic
world last year Theodore was the first
to congratulate him. Arthur ran in Bos-
ton this spring and was beaten Theo-
dore was not there. And so 1t is that
this slab of darkness is now regarded
as lucky mascot.
The preliminary heats of the 100-yard
dash will be among the first events or
the card tomorrow, and Duffey is en-
tered in one of the early heats. II he
qualities he will have a good rest before
the crucial moment
