COLUMBIAN ENTERED
Worst Defeat Vanderbilt's Yacht Ever Got
First Meeting in Four Years Course
Thirty-Eight Miles Long Wind
Very Light But All Do
Pretty Work.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 5.-Defender met
the Vigilant today for the first time
since the trial races four years ago,
and not only showed her superiority
again, but gave her the worst beating
in the history of these two cup de-
tenders. The Navahoe was also In this
race, which was under the auspices of
the Newport Yacht Racing association,
but she in turn was beaten by Vigilant
almost as much as the latter was beat
en- by Defender Columbia, under tow,
passed all three boats on her way to
New London, so that yachtsmen did
not have chance to see how much
she could have beaten the other Her
reshoff' sloops. Off Block island, Co
lumbia cast off from her tender and
headed westward under her own can
vas.
The fact of the Columbia not start
ing, killed public interest in the event
but the few yachtsmen who went out
TO see the races between the Syce and
Kestrel, Carmita and Queen Nab, We're
rewarded by witnessing some excellent
light weather contests between those
sloops.
The Defender practically had sail
over, for she defeated the Vigilant Ii
minutes, 40 seconds, and the Navahoe
% minutes 5 seconds in the windward
work, boat for boat She increased her
lead over Vigilant up to 25 minutes in
an 1S-mile run before the wind, beating
her over 30 minutes in all over a So
mile course.
The preparatory signal for the big
sloops was given at 11.45 and the one
to start at IL o'clock, but the Queen
Nab and Carmita were sent away at
1885. Although the wind was light, the
start of the big sloops was very pretty
work. At one minute before the signal,
all three were sailing along parallel to
the line-on the edge of it, as ii were.
Defender was leading with Vigilant and
Navahoe in that order, having luffing
match. Just then the whistle blew.
Capt Rhodes gave the Defender a
sharp huff, and she was across the line
in a moment. She had the leeward po-
sition, but it did not matter much to
her, for the Vigilant and Navahoe,
who crossed in that order, We're only
a couple of lengths to windward of
her.
All crossed close hauled on the star
board tack. All three of the big sloops
tackled in shore IL minutes after the
start. Defender went about first, then
Navahoe, then Vigilant. When they
filed away 1t was seen that the
Defender had the windward position by
quite half mile The Navahoe was a
dozen lengths on Vigilant's lee bow.
Defender made her first tack close
in to the Narragansett shore at
12.37:25, the Navahoe next at 1237:40,
and the Vigilant last at 12.37:55.
The Queen Nab rounded her outer
mark-the whistling buoy off Point Ju-
dith at 1.03:10, the Carnaita at 1871. Both
eased sheets to port and set balloon jib

CARRIES OUT PLAN.
Boston Young Lady Re-
lieves the Baker
Family.

Charleston, S. c., Aug. 5.--Lillian
Clayton Jewett, the Boston girl who
recently created a sensation among the
negroes of that city by declaring thai
she would come to Charleston and take
back north with her the family of the
late Frazer B. Baker, who was lynched
at Lake City, S. c., in 1897, with view
to begin an agitation against mob law,
has carried out her design.
Miss Jewett paid for the tickets Of
the Baker family from here to Boston
and she also bought a number of small
articles of clothing for the woman and
her children.
The Rev. ]. l.. Dart, a colored min
lister of this city, who has recently
spent some time in Boston, returned to
the city tonight, and opposed violently
the removal of the Bakers from
Charleston. He declares that Miss Jew
EFT does not represent the better class
Of white Or colored people in Boston.
He says she and those who stand with
her merely want to get control of the
Bakers to make notoriety and money
for Themselves

Being Almost Beaten.

this afternoon Whitman and Ware
defeated Allen of Yale and McKettrick
of Harvard in a five set match in the
final round of the doubles. The college
pair led up to 4-3, and 4O-15 in the
third set. Then Whitman by the most
clever sort of work pulled out the re-
naming three straight sets.
McKettrick gave Allen excellent sup
port in the beginning of the contest,
and the pair played so evenly that
there seemed to be no chance of their
opponents winning Allen made some
phenomenal returns of balls that APP
peared to be impossible. He was also
fast at the net and scored the majority
of the points. In the fifth and deciding
set Of the match the collegians led, but
they were passed at four all and lost by
a narrow margin. McKettrick defeated
Young Larned in the final of consola-
ton singles.

PRINCE A GOOD FELLOW
Such Is the Verdict of Tod
Sloan On
Wales.

New York, Aug. 5.-Tod Sloan, the
American jockey, was a passenger on
the Cunard liner Campan1a which ar
rived here this morning from Liver
pool. There also came on the same ship
Pedlar Palmer, the English bantam
prize fighter. The arrival of the steam
er was made the occasion Of a demon
stration by local sporting men, who
were on the pier in numbers. There
was brass band and the big liner was
warped into her dock to the tunes of
national airs and rag time selections.
Tod Sloan had little to say, except
that his stay in this country would be
short and that he might ride for Will
liam c. Whitney.
II will return to the other side" he
said, in two weeks. l shall continue
riding, as my suspension term will
have expired in two weeks. / am CO.
ing TO Saratoga to call on Sidney Paget,
Mr. Whitney's manager. Mr.. Whitney
is buying a stable and securing many
good horses. l shall ride for him as
second call jockey. l am, however not
going to see Mr.. Paget on that bust
ness. My record SO far this season has
been 81 wins. 1 think that those who
have followed my mounts are ahead.
Jockey Martin, who is now riding on
the other side, is doing very well.
i like England and the English bet
| ter every day. The Prince Of Wales is
| a good fellow and gentleman, and 1
like him very much"
Palmer, the English featherweight,
comes to New York with his manager,
who Is also the manager of the Nation
al Sporting Club of London, to fight a
battle with Teddy McGovern, the
| Brooklyn wonder" The fight will
take place at the Westchester Athletic
| Club in Tuckahoe on Friday, Sept /,
and will be for the championship of the
world at 116 pounds.

London, Aug. Orchard Croker, be-

whence he sailed for New York on
board the American line steamer st.
Paul said to a representative of the
Associated Press who asked him if
there was any truth in the report that
he had purchased the lakes of Killar-
ney: II never heard of or knew any,
thing about any sale of the lakes of
Killarney or of Muckross Abbey until
l read about it in the English papers l
expect to come back to London next
spring for the usual three months rae
ing. The New York newspapers won't
allow me any peace in my own country
and l am compelled to come over here
for it. In England, the newspapers do

FAIRS While in America, reporters are
watching my house and following me

American because I come over here for

i am perfectly satisfied with my
treatment here. l have not won many
races thus far; but am not losing any,
thing by my stables. 1t takes a long
time to form good racing stable, be-
cause the only way to get good horses
IS to breed them yourself. l expect to
breed some good ones by and bye from
Dobbins and Americas and l shall keep
on racing just the same, win or lose.

months old, in Madison Square Garden

for me over here was a yearling filly,
for which 1 paid $780,"
AS to local New York politics, Mr..
Croker said 1t was not true that he had
given orders before he left America that
John Sheehan was to be defeated in his
own district. The Tammany leader add
ed, II have not interfered in local mat
tiers. Mr.. Sheehans opposition is not to

It was battle royal between the Syca

Mile after mile the Vigilant and Nav

The latter has been called a cruiser
but today she proved a very good racer
in light breeze. She held her posi-

At 2.15, when the Defender was clos
ing up to the mark, a dozen men went
out on the bowsprit to take In the baby
Jib toDsail and to snap the ballooner
on the stay. Capt Rhodes certainly
meant to be ready at the turn, and he
was, for the Defender had barely luffed
around the mark, and filed away on
the other tack when the big sail was
broken out. The time of the three big
sloops at this mark was: Defender,
