THE YACHT DEFENDER.

Said to be a Wonderfully Fast Boat In
Light Weather.
PROVIDENCE Or. y, July 1T was
supposed that it was the intention to
speed the Defender with the Colonia as the
trial boat Off Newport to-day. They left
Bristol about noon, and although the
weather was ideal, the yachts went no
farther than Gould Island.
1t is believed by those who watched the
yachts that there was an accident of some
kind on board the Defender, which caused
her to return to Bristol. This was de-
MED at Bristol tonight. 1t was pre-
sumed that she had broken the Jaws of
her gait, or met with an accident OF some
such nature. The yacht was some time
in coming about.
There were many disappointed ones
at Newport over what is supposed to Be
the unavoidable ending of the pro-
gramme, number of craft being ready
to follow the boats out of the bay The
Defender carried working topsail in
addition to the three other sails which
she spread to-day. There was only a
fair sailing breeze blowing. yet the Co.
lOnia, carrying the same sails, was not
in it with the new boat The Defender
simply ran away from her consort.
1t was, of course, difficult to tell juse
how fast she was sailing, but, in an esti-
mated distance of four miles, both yachts
close-hauled, the Defender beat the
Colonia fully fifteen minutes. She is cer-
tainly wonderfully fact light-weather
boat. But, on the other hand, she did not
stand up well, and she showed indications
of being tender. while the Colonia, carry
ing the same sails. stood up stiff AS
house.
The Defenders lee rail was buried
under water all the time, aud this in
sailing breeze in which she ought to
have easily carried both iib, topsaiI
and club topsail. Judging from
the performances of both. the designers
evidently decided to turn out light
weather crafts, and in this they have evil

have over-shot the mark remains to be
