Greenport, l.. l., Aug. 9.-The first
run of the New York Yacht club yes
terday, from New London out into the
sound as far as Watch Hill and back
to GARDENERS bay. was one of the most
successful in. the clubs history. Not
only was the day an ideal one, with
great wholesale breeze from the west,
which held through from the start to
finish, but the club watched with pride
the magnificent run of the new queen
Of the fleet, Columbia, which fairly dis
tanced every other yacht with the ex-
ception of Defender, and she. too, was
defeated by minutes and 10 seconds
in 30 mile race.
The old cup defender Vigilant was
beaten by the two flyers nearly an
hour. but much of this was no doubt
due to the fortunate run of Columbia
and Defender along the Fishers ISL
and shore, while the rest of the feet
kept over on the other side of the
sound The Amorita was in the
schooner class.
Over SO yachts crossed the line at
New London and nearly all finished in
GARDENERS bay, although some Of them
did not get in until toward night.
By far the greatest event Of the day
was the magnificent seven miles run
Of Columbia from Fishers Island to
Great Gull Island, during which she
averaged close to l3 knot gait
