FOREST AND STREAM. 
Constilution in a breeze, and atfer a few changes can be 
made will undoubtedly give a good account of herself in 
a light breeze. 
The lightship was settled upon as the starting point and 
the legs of the course first south, second northeast by 
east and the third northwest by west, each of ten miles. 
The first and third were broad reaches, the second, or 
off-shore leg, to Avindward. The preparatory signal was 
given at II o'clock and the starting signal at 11:10. Co- 
lumbia crossed first and Independence close behind. A 
tug forced Constitution to keep ofi; and run down to the 
leeward end of the line and crossed 21s. after the handicap 
signal. Independence was pushing Columbia hard for first 
place and was sailing in grand fashion when suddenly her 
topmast sprung forward and broke oft' at the cap and fell 
to leeward. In a moment she was clouded in broken and 
twisted gear, and slatting sails. After the big topmast 
spar and the club topsail and sprit were secured, it was 
still hard work to clear up the tangled gear, which was 
finally cast adrift and picked up by the tug Wrestler, 
chartered as a tender to Independence. All of 25m. was 
lost by the accident, but nevertheless Independence 
pluckily kept on. Columbia beat Constitution im. and 
38s. and Independence 7m. and 52s. Constitution beat 
Independence 6m. and T4S. on the reach to the first mark. 
The times were :

Constitution 11 12 00 12 01 51 49 51 
Independence 11 11 51 12 07 56 56 05 
When the boats hauled on the wind the breeze seemed to 
strengthen, and it was a splendid test for the spars and 
rigging on the boats. Constitution was sailing very fast 
and pulling up on Columbia. In the ten miles beat Con- 
stitution made thirteen tacks, while Independence made 
only three. The Herreshoff boats overstood the mark and 
both were beaten by Independence. Independence beat 
Constitution 57s. and Columbia 2m. and 23s. Constitution 
beat Columbia im. and 26s. The times were:

From the second mark home it was a reach, with the 
wind over the starboard quarter. It was now blowmg 
as strong as it did in the early part of the race. Balloon 
fore staysails were set and Columbia continued to draw 
awav from Constitution. On this leg Columbia had sailed 
at a rate of over fourteen knots. Co'lumlna beat Constitu- 
tion 50S. and Independence 4m. and 41s. Constitution 
beat Independence 3m. and 51s., On the reach home the

Latchmont Y. C Race Week. 
LARCHMONT — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Saturday, .July 13. 
The first day of the week's racing at Larchmont opened 
under most promising conditions. Over fifty boats started, 
and the fresh easterly breeze made the racing interesting 
and lively. 
In the 75ft. class for schooners, Rlmina got the best of 
the start and sailed a grand race, and finally won by a 
large margin. 
Mr. Philip T. Dodge's recently imported cutter Eelin 
sailed her first race in American waters. She had Hester 
and Isolde for competitors. Hester is nearly loft. longer 
on the waterline than either Isolde or Eelin, and her 
extra length was of great advantage over a course where 
there was so much reaching and running to be done, and 
she more than saved her time over Isolde, which was 8m. 
56s, Eelin sailed a nice race, and there should be some 
keen sport between her and Isolde. 
Huguenot in the Sift, class showed up in good shape, 
and at the end of the first round sPie was in the lead, and 
it looked as if she had Humma and Altair where she 
wanted them. Now that Huguenot has had three of her 
five tons of lead removed and her sail area slightly in- 
creased, she shows that she will be a dangerous competitor 
for Humma and Altair. On account of the poor showing 
Huguenot made before she was in racing trim she was 
condemned by many (as was Independence) as an utter 
failure, but if she can continue to perform as well as she 
did in this race it will be conceded that she is a wonder- 
fully fast boat. 
The new Gardner & Cox boat Dorwina, ably sailed by 
Mr. Addison Hanan. had no difficulty in beating Effort 
and Ludeah in the 43ft. class. 
Merrywing, the new raceabout designed by Mr. Clinton 
H. Crane for his brother, Mr. H. M. Crane, is showing 
remarkable speed, and again beat her competitors with 
ease. The summary follows :

Monday, July 15. 
The morning of the second day's racing at Larchmont 
broke with anything but promising weather conditions, 
but as the morning progressed the fog lifted, and as the 
weather cleared a fresh southwesterly breeze came up. 
In the 7Sft. schooner class Muriel, Quisetta, Elmina and 
Amorita had one of the most interesting races of the 
season. After rounding the first mark the wind dropped 
fiat, and when the breeze came up Muriel caught it 
first and fought the race out with Quisetta and Elmina. 
Muriel held her lead in the windward work until nearly 
up to Matinicock Point, where Quisetta crossed her bow 
and took first place. Elmina finally drew away from 
both Muriel and Quisetta and won by a narrow margin. 
Hester again beat Eelin and Isolde. In addition to the 
race between these three boats, there was a special race 
between Eelin and Isolde. Eelin was well in the lead 
at the end of the first round and Isolde withdrew. 
Huguejiot carried away her gaff in the windward work 
of the first round. 
The course for the schooners and large sloops was a 
six-mile run with spinakers to starboard, a six-mile beat 
to windward and a close reach of three miles. This 
course was sailed twice around. The small sloops sailed 
twenty-two and the raceabouts eleven miles. The times
