THEY FAIRLY FLEW.
The Three American Cup Yachts
Race and Again the New Boat
Easily Wins.

Newport, r. l., July 1.-The three
American cup yachts raced again to-
day ever a thirty mile windwarG and
leeward course, and once more the Re
ianca demonstrated her superiority
over the Constitution and Columbia.
The 1908 boat defeated the Constitu-
ton by seven minutes and thirty
seconds, and the Columbia by five
minutes forty nine seconds. The lat
ter was beaten 10 seconds by Mr.. Bel
monts craft, but is an easy winner
over her on time allowance.
Not only was the beat to win 1Ward
made in remarkably fast time by all
the contestants, but on the run home,
with spinnakers and ballooners pulling
like mad. the three slOops fairy flew.
The Reliance again eXcelled the Con-
stitution at this kind of sailing, cover
ng the fifteen miles in one hour, eleven
MINUTES, four seconds, better speed than
most boats can make. The Constitution
outran the Columbia but very little.
Sir Thomas Upton watced the race
closely from the Erin. He kept his
glasses on the Reliance every minute
and when the boats finished started
back for Sandy Hook. The wind had
about eight miles strength in it at the
start. but before the WindWard mark
was reached it was blowing from 10 to
Is miles and held thus until after the
boats finished.
