YACHTING.
The Constitution officially Measured
Gets Great Reception.

In of her tender. the Satellite. the Cup yacnt
Constitution passed under the East River bridges
yesterday afternoon her way to the Erie Basin
to be officially measured for the outside races to be
sailed off Sandy Hook next week The yachts
topmast telescoped while she passed under the
bridges. but the spar was sent up again and the
rigging set up before she had passed Governors
Island.
All the way up the East River the yacht had
been saluted by almost every steamer in sight All
three of these big soops look much alike to the
layman that many rlistook her for the new yacht
Reliance
When the Constitution arrived at the Basin she
moored head and stern close up to the gate at
the entrance of the north drydock where the water
is absolutely smooth Every bit of supe-fuous
weight was then taken out of the yacht, and at
p. m. she ready for the measurer Of the
NewYork Yacht Club, G. D. Mower. to stretch his
steel tape line over her
While the ffty-eight composing the crew.
with Captains Rhodes and Terry, sat perfectly still
on deck amdships, Mower. with Mate Christensen
ard Edmund Fish, the latter representing, 1t Is
said Mr. Iselin, of the Reliance, began the water
line measurements by entering boat and floating
a lath at the bow and stern. One end Of the
lath was made to touch the stem at the waterline
while plumb line was dropped from the extreme
forward point of the deck the lath Then the
measurement transferred to a point on the
yachts deck, and the operation gone through
at the after end the space measured between tne
two marks deck being the waterline length
The base line was then measured from the end OF
the bowsprit to tire main boom end. Then Mr.
Mower hoisted in a boatswain's chair to the
topmast truck to get the perpendicular measure
ment of the yachts spars 1t was all over by 8
o'clock, but one. perhaps the members or
the regatta committee win know what the official
measurements until the yachts meet in August
in their official trial races.
The Constitution was hauled alongside her ten
der, lie until o'clock this morning, when she Is
be towed Sandy Hook. Robert P Dorerpus
represented August Belmont, the manager OF the
yacht. while she being measured.
The Constitution looked better than she did
yesterday. The lighter rigging fitted at Bristol
makes her look more like the racing craft than
ever. while the paint and varniSh on her Spars
improve her general appearance.
The Reliance left her mooring at New Rochelle
at $50 D. m, in tow Of her tender the Sunbeam. 1t
is understood that she is bound for Bay Ridge or
Staten Island for the night, there TO remain until
early this morning, when she will be towed TO the
Horseshoe at Sandy Hook.
The Columbia arrived at Bay Ridge late yesterday
afternoon. She is to be hauled out at the Morse
Iron Works this morning to be cleaned. She will
join the other two yachts at Sandy Hook on Sun
day night.
