Columbia within five minutes Of the start, appeared to be in a position which would enable her to almost reach the older boat if her captain had tack ed at that time. All the boats, how ever, kept on for the Narragansett shore and at 11:52 the Columbia still seemed to be leading with Reliance a little to the windward of her. but half mile astern and evidently second boat, while Constitution had dropped back somewhat and as seen from shore was evidently the last boat in the race.
 Ten minutes after the start the wind had increased to 10 or 12 knots and there was every indication of a great contest before the day was over.
 The yachts turned the windward mark with the Reliance apparently in the lead, the Columbia second and the Constitution third The time was, Re liance 1:37, Columbia 1:40:30 and the Constitution APO.
 At 2:10 all the yachts could be seen running in for the finish and from her sail spread it looked as if the Reliance was leading the other two by nearly a mile. So rapidly did the yachts sail the course that they appeared out of the mist shortly after 2 o'clock. There IS every indication that the Reliance will sail the course within the limit, three hours and fifteen minutes.
 The Reliance crossed the finish line at S:O0.47, the Constitution at 3:0S45 and the Columbia at 3OS.52.
 The elapsed time was, Reliance 3:15:O9 Constitution 3:22:20, and Co- lumbia 3:23:26, thus showing that the Reliance beat the Constitution more than seven minutes.

METHODIsTs PLAN TO SAVE MONEY
Committee Declares Real Estate Of Book
Concerns Lessons Profits.

One Of the principal reasons given for the con-
solidation of the publishing houses of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church in New-York and Cincin-
natl by the book committee in its report is that
under the present plan too much money is invested
in real estate, and that this real estate does not
yield high enough income. and thus the book con-
Germs do not give a large enough profit The
amount of capital invested in the Book Concern is
over 50 100000
The committee says 1t regards all money unnec-
sarily invested in real estate and publication
expenses a diversion in part Of sacred funds
and suggests that the argument of the statements
seems TO be that the publishing business has been
carried on in the interests of real estate rather than
for the benefit of the legal beneficaries and claim
ants. The committee further gives figures to show
how $4,000 might be saved annually.
1t proposes the concentration of these publish
ing interests under the direction of head to be
called "the publishing agent" to be elected by the
General Conference. which meets every four years
The report further suggests that the General Con-
ference should elect every four years book cabi-
net consisting OF nine members. For several weeks
there has been much rumor concerning the prOba-
BILE sale rental Of the two great properties in
New-York and Cincinnati. and the location of the
