Spelling MainSail.

SHIPPANS POINT, Conn, June ia
heavy northeast storm dampened the
spirits Of yachtsmen who arrived at the
Indian Harbor Yacht Club this morning
to see the race between Reliance. Con-
stitution and Columbia. There was a
high wind OF fifteen miles and a heavy
rain. just the kind of conditions that
existed last Monday when Mr.. Iselin.
managing owner of Reliance refused TO
let the new boat go out for fear of
spelling the new mainsail.
Mainsails are more or less of Il specu-
lative commodity, and this particular
one cost $1,000. 1t is one of the finest
ever turned out by the Herreshoffs. By
the most careful attention Mr. Iselin
has at last got II TO an almost perfect
fit. and for that reason there was lit
tie prospect of a race this morning
while the rain continued.
A set Of sails for Reliance costs &c.
900. and she has four in her equipment
besides eighty extra pieces of canvas.
There were two courses at the disposal
of the committee of today's race. No

measuring fifteen miles, the first leg be-
Ing from Great Captains Island to a

BOOKMAKERS STAND
TO LOSE A MILLION

can Derby Saturday.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. June 19.-one million

stand to lose should Judge Hines cap
ture the American Derby tomorrow
Charles r. Ellison. his owner, will
claim $500 600 of this should the colt
lower the coloTs OF Savable.
Judge Hines at 100 to l.
Judge Hines at 40 10 4.
Judge Hines at 20 t.. l.
Judge Hines at s to l.
That tells the story of the tremendous
play in the OLeary and Weller books.
When Judge Hines was at 100 to !.
Ellison bet $500 on him. more in a spirit
Of loyalty than any idea OF landing the
$4,000. When Judge Hines cantered
home a winner in the Kentucky Derby
the odds on Judge Hines took a slump
from 100 TO l TO 60 to l. At that figure
Ellison sent up another $500. The Haw-
thorne Handicap was run and Judge
Hines, over a muddy track. made an
all-aged field look sick. The odds on
Hines have been steadily shrinking ever
since.
