the weather berth. A luffing match now followed, Co- 
lumbia striving to get the weather berth, but unsuccess- 
fully. Both boats jibed over when the squall struck. It 
blew hard for a moment, and Constitution took the lead 
at once, a most surprising thing, for she is not con- 
sidered as good as the old champion under such condi- 
t'ons. 
It was now raining so heavil}' that neither boat could be 
seen. Those in charge of Constitution thinking it dan- 
-gerous to continue under the circumstances, and be- 
lieving the race would be abandoned, withdrew. The 
wind hauled to the E. and the air cleared, and Columbia 
was seen beating for the mark. Her time there was : 
Columbia ' 2 53 20 
The breeze continued fresh, and Columbia made the 
next two legs in short timej^ and finished a winner at 
4:08:25. 
This is the last time Cohtmbia and Constitution will 
meet until Saturday. Aug. 31, which is the day set for 
the first trial race. The sum.mary : 
Start. Finish. Elapsed.
