Columbia Does lletter, Hut I Hadly Beaten New Cup Defender Bets a Record ns Light Wind Kacer - Items, If tho victory of tho Constitution over the Columbia and Independence In the first of tho three-cornered races on Saturday lust was significant ami def inite, her winning Monday may well be characterized as overwhelming and the defeat of tho Independence as pos itive and almost hopeless. The approach of cveulngngaln found the judges1 boat anchored out along with the catboat which marked the outer end of the finish line tediously watting for tho Jtostou boat to cross, while her rivals were well up the har bor on the way to the mooring. Tho new HerrcshofT boat had beaten Co lumbia by nearly half an hour over the thirty-mile course, while the record against tho Independence was over a full hour. She en mo near traveling around the trtnngle while the Crown inshlcld creation was covering two legs. Today's race established tho new Bristol sloop ns a record-breaker in light aim.

On the reach home Constitution beat Columbia ten minutes and six seconds, while, although there is no official time of the rounding of the lee mark by Independence she was beaten nearly an hour on tho last leg.
