; She Str rted out in Utmost Get calm and
drifted with the tide down NJ rrs ganssts
By. After n hour Of this drifting . ueht
air from the southwest helped her along
a little. The direction Of this wind nsaAS
Il a beat, but W not OF suficient strength
to ret her over to her bearings and IL
| yacht seemed alugsish.
Tho wind gradually Increased IN strsuG1A.
and when about eight lnots' strength -
heelsd easily and moved very quio,ay
through tho water. This brseas was g
sufficient strength to have ssnt The ~
lance over . course fifteen miles to winb.
ward and return within the time linis ef
, ~ hours. and, judging By tho yaohs's
| performance, Il 10 the weather best 0sjto6
! to her. She was sailing In perfectly Gzneoeh
| water.
The yacht reaohed Newport econ NJ
I 10 o'clock and anchored there, whlIe q
hands went to luncheon. In tGe sfteruoon
she went out again, this tius Ia a 49,
OF about ten lrnots' strength. Sh> bsas osst
to Brenton's Reef Lightship. The Htxie
babble on the water outside did not eesun
TO bother her At all.
| She heeled until down 10 4 certain vsast
and than etayed there and won't rfeht aloas.
Tho four milcs from thu duroplinsn tp
Dreuton Reef liehtship che esijsd n r.
minutes, and che made four tsoks vuIl -
windward Of the nsht vvssel.
She pointed very high ana foctsd fnrt.
and at times when Designer Herreeho6i
OF Capt. Barr was pinohinx her % that
her head calls duttered she etill 4 ai,ed fsst.
This pinchinR was evidently done 10 And
out what the boat could do. Whsn otrk-
side che was called to the sset -eoutbeast
with the wind abeam 70 try bar ct reaching.
On this point Of calling abe sesuned 10 s.
q little weak. She wa taking the sea on
her weather bow and this may have csused
bsr to 70 GLOVER. but when coming back
again with started sheets and the Wind ovsr
ths port quarter she was very fast.
Alter passing the hehtship oomins n
the yacht was put before the Wind. Her
spinnAker was Get and carried almost up
to Bristol ~ nearly - could b 6ued
che ran ct the rate Of twelve statute nailcs
IN hour. Wheu heeled abe mAkes small
wavs under tho bow. but tbs long dAt for.
ward section Of the yacht seens 70 smooth
this down very easily.
There 10 hollow about annidships q IL
weather side and then the water suno0ths
down and leaves the yacht without any
drag It al In the smooth water Of Nasrss
eAnoett Bay there were only Two small
str!nss Of bubbles astem Of The boas ehat
would indicate that anything had diseur6ed
ths watar. Outside where the wstsr was
not 20 anooth the bow wavs was hker
and the wake left By the yacht rnags pa.

II would seem that the Reliance wm noe
b bothered by rough sea II che has wind
strong enough to put her over to The Hnsu
her designer planned her to san on and ~
to-day's performance II would seam thas
q breeze Of eight or ten knots strength win
heel her just TO those lines and when It blows
harder she docs not heel much mors.
The Reliance handled easily and ct ttnnss
she tackled very quickly. Her best Tina
was eighteen seconds from full 70 FINN.
Her sails were very good. The mainsa0 10
the best looking piece OF canvas sssa on
q Hcrresho6 boat. 1t Is stretched out fully
to the end Of the boom and gan, and sxcspt
for little fulness on the leach ssts web.
The forestaysail shook considerably 10
tho wind but that was through ths lad
being too short. The club topsaij. ANAL
ono .s.ts very well indeed and the spinnaker
u Q beautiful piece OF canvas.
After getting hack TO her moorings Mr..
Ise,.n said Il am very much pleased With
the yacht and those who were With hin
seemed to be well satished, II looks % for
anything.
