C-The Constitution sailed a capital race to-day against ColumbU over a. course fifteen miles to windward and bat k in a bre.-ze whose furce averaged about fisht knots, its greatest power being- twt-Ive knots near the fini.-U line. The Columbia won by seventeen seconds, corrected time, the Constitution be.itins her rival boat for boat ov'r the course on elapsed time fifty-four s-ec-oiuls. This ek.es not Include the handicap of twenty-on" seconds or more with which the Constitution started. Had she not been handlcai p-d she would have won. On the windward work she gained on the Columbia thirty-two see onds and also twenty-two seconds on the run home before the wind. In heavy puffs, when close to the finish line, her balloon jib topsail split in two and caused a bis tangie aloft. The Columbia was compelled to haul down her balloon at the same time, forthe squall carried away the t-iingle at the head of the sail. Hut the bis fail on the Constitution refused to be controlled, and lluttered in segments aloft, and all hands had to do their best to muzzle it. On the other hand. Columbia hauled down her balloon jib topsail in seaman-like stylo, and smartly bending on the spinnaker halyards, hoisted a reaching jib topsail in stops, and breaking it out quickly, darted across the line a winner. In taking in spinnakers ttbout twenty minutes before the finish line was reached by the leader Constitution's tail got tangled in the head fctays and it took several minutes to get it on deck. While Happing aloft the balloon jib topsail had no opportunity to exert its utmost drawing power. .All this time the Columbia's balloon was doing most effective work. To smart handling and excellent judgment Columbia's victory to-day was tlue. There is no question that the old ma!nsrll and the. altered headsails of the Constitution, which she tarried to-day, had much to do with the Improved showing she made. The handicap at the start seemed to be due to a lack of smartness aboard the Const, tution, ami also to the more able seaJockeylng of those in charge of the Columtiia. The Constitution allowed herself to be forced on the wrong side of the line, was compelled to. gybe around short on her heel, and then to take thJ other end of the line, a deadly handicap. This and the splitting of her balloon jib topsalt certainly lost her the race. Had it not been for these mishaps the- Constitution would have beatn the Columbia by a small margin beyond the one minute and eleven seconds time allowance over the thirty-mile course. There will be no race foi the yachts tomorrow, and,, while the challenge, committee held a meeting this evening, no announcement of future races was made. It Is generally expected, however, that other contests will bo held here later in the week. This rnornivg in Newport harbor there was scarcely Ii breath of air stirring. There Feemed little f rospt ct of a race until 11:30 a. m. when a light southwesterly wind set in. This soon freshened into a breeze and the outlook seemed llatterlng for a rattling good race. The Constitution, with Nat llerreshof 01! board, in addition to the regular amateurs and professionals was the first to slip her moorings at noon and beat, out to the starting line. At 12:40 flags were hoisted on the Narada, announcing that the course would be H. S. W.. tifteen miles to windward and return. The sea was remarkably smooth, but there was a smoky haze on the yater. The yachts approached the starting 'line on the starboard tack, with Columbia to windward. The sailing master of the Columbia repeated his old terrorizing trick of bearing right down on hi3 rival as if about to ram her, shaking the wind out of her sails and then lulling up and clearing her by the smallest of margins. The maneuver he repeated three times and finally luffed across the line forty-seven seconds after the starting gun The Constitution had plenty of room to tack, but not caring to come into such Close quarters with the enemy gybed ami on the port tack crossed the line twentytwo seconds, or thereabouts, after the handicap guns. Roth yachts stood on the port tack toward the Narrngansett shore with Columbia in the weather berth, thus having a com mantling lead. For nearly half an hour the yachts stood on the port tack, with the wind freshening as they sailed shoreward until It attained about a nine-knot force At 1:23 the Constitution went on the starboard tack, followed immediately bv the Columbia. By this time the sails of the Constitution bad stretched and it was seen that the old mainsail was far superior to the new one ami also that the retrimmed head sails set better than those carried in the race on Monday. The Constitution again, at went on the port tack, stand lng in shore and the Columbia followed like a Hash. For ten rilnutes they held this board and then ensued a succession of short tacks. At 2:U9 the Columbia for the lirst time on the port tack crossed the bows of the Constitution tabout an eighth of a mile inn inn k mi iv. vivr-t-eei me oows Ol Ulf institution tabout an eighth of a mile ead. For laearly an hour the yachts r.tinued tofnake short tacks. The result is far different from the same maneuvers ahead, t continued was on Monday, when Columbia beat her rival nearly live minutes on a beat out to windward of ten miles. The Constitution gained a little in these tacks, and when she was approaching the windward mark on the starboard tack she had considerably diminished the gap. A short hitch to port was necessary to enable them to round the raft, and rpuite a fleet of steam yachts bad assembled to see the turn. The Columbia rounded at 3:02:4. the Constitution 3:o:J:3. ine elapsed time of this tifteen-mlle beat being l':ti0:2." for tho former boat and 2:y):v7 tor the latter. The Constitution was the first to set her spinnaker to port, the sail eine h l nd 1 -1 1 with commendable speed. The balloon jib lopsan on me Loiumhu was nrst hoisted, however, the, honors thus being even. The Constitution stealthly crawbd upon the Columbia, thi wind being at this? time about ten knots. At U:2s the Constitution led for the lirst time in the rat e. Ihr victory was j-hort lived. ft,r at 3:." the Columbia was once more in. the van. Constitution again at 4:1" led by a few lengths. The tide had set them considerably to the eastward of the true course and it became necessary to take in spinnakers. The Columbia set a balloon stuy'ul and the Constitution followed suit. Vhen came a savage pun! which s-n,. me ice.ruiis or both yachts und r. . o.umoia o:iuKcted and passed Constitu tion.

Mr. Mustin was shown the statement of Mr. Chambers and said: "Ak far as the gambling on the ship Is concerned, I have already entered my absolute and explicit h-nial. So far as my connection witli the wager on the, result of the yacht race is concerned, I consider the matter closed and o under no circumstances will I consent to be epioted in the matter." .Mr. Mustin says Mr. Kingsley was introduced to him in London as the commissioner for the Lortlon Kxpress. Mi fi in roc kM .Substitute Captain. Ni:W YORK. Sept. 4. Among those arriving to-day on the White Star line steamslap Majestic was Captain Robert Wringe, who is to be the substitute captain of the Shamrock II. Captain Wringe, when last here, sailed the ninety-footer Mineola, and is acquainted with the waters in which tho yacht races will be sailed. Interviewed, the captain said: "Jf the Shamrock II has to go tip against the Columbia we will win sure. I would even like to take another chance at her in the old Shamrock. We were defeated in the last races on the windward work, but the Columbia could never win against the new boat, as sh Is faster than the old one. If we race with the Constitution I cannot foretell the result. There is r.ot much ue in discussing the Shamrock II. for that has all been gone over, and we must now await results." SHAM ROCK OUT AfiAIX. Sliowrtl Iteniarkable Speetl nml Ability to Lie Cloe to the Wind. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Although under sail for only two hours to-day the Shamrock II astonished those who followed her by her remarkable speed and ability to lie close to the wind. The yacht again demonstrated beyond question that she can sail when reaching with the wind abeam, so that her big jib topsail can be made to draw, at a speed varying from fourteen to rifteen knots, according to the strength of the wind. The yacht was all ready to make a start by 11 o'clock this morning, but there was not a breath of wind, however, at that time. Just then the steam yacht Reverie ranged up alongside the Shamrock. Her owner, C. II. Thomas, hailed Sir Thomas J.ipton, who was showing a party of yachtmen and ' ladies over the yacht. "Sir Thomas," said he, "the members of the Irish rille team are on board, with the ladies of their party. They drink to your health and wish you all success." To this Sir Thomas replied: "1 thank you all very much. Won't you all come aboard the Shamrock? 1 will send a launch for you." The Invitation was accepted and the party of seventeen were soon on board the cup challenger, shaking hands with her owner, who took particular pains to show the visitors every part of the yacht. After inspecting the Shamrock the party was taken on board the Krin and shown over that vessel. After the visitors had returned to their own yacht they gave three hearty cheers for Sir Thomas as they passed on their way hack to the Atlantic Highlands. shortly after noon there were indications of a breeze coming in from seaward, so the Shamrock's mooring was got ready to slip. The start was nuite a spectacular one. All morning there had been scarcely a breath of wind and a scorching hot sun. Scon after 1 o'clock a cool Iresh breeze carno from southwest. Suddenly a steam launch shot out from alongside the Erin. In it was Sir Thomas Lipton, Mr. Jameson, Mr. Watson and Commodore Hillyard. The party had hardly stepped on deck when the yacht's mooring was slipped and from an inanimate object the yacht was changed m a moment to a thing of life. Staysail, jib and a small jib topsail were broken out simultaneously and as her sails rilled and she gathered headway in the freshing breeze she made a spirited picture. As soon as the point of Sandy Hook was cleared sheets were trimmed down flat on port tack and the yacht slipped through the smooth water at a gait that must have been between fourteen and fifteen knots, for in ten minutes she was entering Gedney's channel and in live minutes more she had passed through it. In fact she had traveled nearly four miles in fifteen minutes. The tide was fair, but there was not enough of it to cut more than a knot ofr her tpced. Sailmaker Ratsey had remained on board the Erin to obtain a good view ot the Shamrock's sails, but the yacht had sailed so fast on the way out that she was nowobliged to heave to and wait for the Erin. At 2:ös, when the steam .yacht arrived, Captain Sycamore put the Shamrock on the starboard tack for seven minutes, then he let her come around and stand along the Jersey coast for ten minutes. When next she came about she swung around from "full to full" in just twelve minutes. It was also seen that the yacht was lying remarkably close to the wind. Ten minutes later the main sheet was manned and rounded in smartly, and then the great main boom swung across the deck as Captain Sycamore? put the helm up and gybed her. It was thought that the spinnaker would be set again, but instead. the bowsprit men were sent out to take in the small Jib topsail. The sail was down and stowed and another one out of the bowsprit in two minutes. In two minutes more the new sail was snapped on its stay, hoisted in place and broken out. There were exclamations of surprise and admiration from all who sawit, for it was a big-reaching Jib topsail of white linen, its cloths running up and down from a center line dividing the sail from clew to luff. As soon as this newsail filled the yacht set med to Jump away with renewed speetl. for the light material caught every breath of wind going and pulled like forty horses. Traveling at a fourteen-knot dip. and leaving all steamers but the Erin in her wake, the Shamrock entered Oedney's channel ?;t 4:ef with boom broad off to starboard. The jib topsail came down at 4:10. and then sheets were trimmed down for the close reach to the point off Sandy Hook, for the wind had freshened and shifted some to the southward. She stood well over towards the southwest spit, then made a tack into the bay. where the club topsail was taken In. and at Z.'.'aK after being towed to her mooring by the Eawrence, she was made fast for the night.

The second day of the fair here brought out a still larger crowd and the racing events were well contested, although the favorites won in straight heats. It was not an easy proposition, as some of the finishes were neck-and-ncck affairs. The sport was marred late in the afternoon bya serious accident which occurred in full view of hundreds of people. Hob Evans was warming up and coming down the back stretch at a terrific pace when Robert Graham, an aged man of this city, attempted to cross the track right in front of the runner. Graham was struck squarely by the horse and knocked senseless. He was taken to his home in the ambulance, and it is thought he is fatally injured. In the third heat of the 2:23 pace Douglas Maid ran away and made the circuit of the half-mile track three times before she was caught.
