Reliance's weather quarter. Capts. Hhodes

fight for the better position at the line, ana
neither skipper paid any attention to the
Columbia,
The jockeying was as pretty rs ever was
seen In a race of this kind The Consti-
tuition pulled by the Reliance; hauled on
the wind and stood in toward the shore,
and at 1905 she took the port tack the
Reliance lacking few minutes later. they
were then heading toward the west with
the Constitution in the lead.
At 1907 the Constitutions crew began
to send up the balloon jb topsail and both
Yachts then bore of and headed toward
the committee boat end of the line, each
having the wind over the port quarter.
The Reance's crew sent up reaching

The Reliance at 1909 hauled on the wind
and, heading toward the west, passed
astern of the Constitution and came up

Columbia coming in on the starboard tack,
crossed the bow of the Constitution and bore
off toward the line. They were then send

The Reliance had drawn ahead OF the

in the wind to kill time and their sails
tapped idly for few minutes. They bore
Off on the starboard tack. but about a half
a minute later the Reliance tackled and the
Constitution bore off and gybed. The
Columbia was then reaching down toward
the leeward end Of the line on the star
board tack. Reliance tackled again and on
the starboard tack she stood for the wind

same point, but being little closer on the
wind.
The Columbia crossed the line at the
leeward end at 2l and bore off on her
course Had she reached across to the
windward end of the line she could have
been ahead of the Reliance and Constitu-
ton and those two yachts would have
had hard job getting by her.
Barr ordered the jib toPsai TO be broker

sorely disappointed. for, no sooner was the
topsail broken out than Capt, Rhodes

but the big jib topsail was tapping and the
yacht would not huff with the Constitution.
Finding it was useless to try and battle
with the Constitution any longer, the Re-
lance bore off and crossed the line at l2:8:4s.
The balloon jib topsail Of the Constitution
was broken out, and filling at once, that
yacht gained great Roadway and shot
across the line right up at the windward
end Just as the handicap gun was fired at
1917. 1t had been pretty fight and the
honors had been with Capt. Rhodes and
Constitution.
The Reliance and Constitution both held
high above their course, keeping well in
toward the land and getting the full benefit
of the tide, which continued to run ebb

line and favored them more than 1t did the

at the waters edge. The Columbia was
sitter She had several inches Of freeboard
on her lee side and she was pointing higher
than the new boat.
They had the tide on the lee bow and it
was setting them up on their course all the
way home. At l:54 the tack Of the jib
topsail on the Columbia parted and the sail
slid up the stay and tapped at the mast
head. 1t took seven minutes to get the
sail in and reset it. and all that time the
yacht was being knocked OF her course.
At 2:02 the wind backed to south by
east. The Reliance got the shift hrst and
Capt Barr was able to sail her with good
full for the rest OF the course.
When near the finish the wind hauled
again to south by west, but the yachts
were 40 high then that It did neither Of
them any harm. The Reliance kept on
her journey and shot across the line at the
leeward end at 2282l. Mr.. Morgan, who
was steering the Columbia, held on and took
that yacht over at the windward end OF the
line and she finished at 2:33:2o The times

Reliance bore of little and seemed TO open

Capt. Rhodes was holding the Constitu-

scale.
Before leaving. Sir Thomas Upton sig
nailed that everything possible would be
done to uphold the honor Of the old flag

age and speedy return with the Cup
The signal for the departure OF the boats
was given at 1I5 from the Erin, which
steamed slowly out into the channel amid
a great demonstration. All the boats blew
their whistles and the sirens shrieked
while the thousands ashore and afoat
cheered enthusiastically. Some minutes
later the tug Flying Elk lowed the ctal-
lenger out OF the bay. past the quay, which
was lined with spectators. Sir Thomas
Upton. who stood beside Capt. Wringe on
the challenger. bowed his acknowledge
ments and the crew responded to the cheers.
