Nc@ York, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune
says:
IEa victorious cup defender Column
BIZ nus Ueen hauled out on the ways
OF yCnn Hawkins, at City Island. This,
bowey Ell does not settle the question
rs t. whether or not the famous Her
re.luW craft will cross the ocean to
yachr races.
I.lr. l5..in himself does not know for
celttiu what will be done. He and Mrs.
lse III win soon start for the other side
and there are many things to consider
befaac any order will issue to place
thu Columbia under cruising rig. At
prcasut the intentions are simply to
pu, ,he cup winner in good safe place
on The land and leave her there until
wanted.
Mr.. IEelin came from All View, New
Rochelle, to City Island, to look the
boat over after she was hauled out and
to &. q some directions in regard to
those rlen who were still employed on
the boat, two of whom were paid off
yesterday. When seen at the Hawkins
yards ne said:
81 have had all the yachting want
Tor long time" He did not, however,
cay t,.t he had positively made up his
mind 10 leave the Columbia where she
Is until the next American yachting
season and the rest of the conversation
showed that this is not yet settled
Among the few men still employed
on the Columbia there is a difference
of opinion as to the future movements
Of the yacht. One man, who wore the
uniform of the crew, said:
"This boat is going across the ocean.
know what she is going to do, and
you need not remain any longer in
doubt. The Columbia will leave here
in January to cross to the other side.
This is the present intention and this
IL what will be DONE"
Another man, who said he had been
paid Off, gave the impression that the
yacht would remain at Hawkins yards
so that no risks would be taken with
her until she is required again in these
' waters. He added: They are going
10 send another boat over from the 9th
or side to race for the cup next year,
md this Columbia will be used again
10 defend with. She is good enough to
do the trick second time, because
they cannot build her match in Eng
land and she will be safe to win next
year as she was this. No risks will,
therefore, be taken with so valuable
boat merely for the purpose of win
ming q few cups from slower boats on
the otrer side. The Columbia will re-
main here until she is wanted again
10 defcad in the home waters
The contradictory and equally posi-
tive statements suggest that II new
challor ger comes from England or else
where for cup race next year the Co
Iumba will remain where she is, but
that = no challenge comes in before
Januc'y /, she will put on ketch rig
and Cross in time for the Riviera rae
ing. II no challenge comes before
January l the New York Yacht Club
need not lessen the regular ten months
notice and thus the race could not be
sailed with the season, under the last
deed Cf gift so that after the second
or third week in December the Column
bia may prepare to sail for the other
side moving that she will not be re-
quired here next season.
OlGsIs were issued to have the Co
lumJ '3 covered at once with canvas.
The yScht will be moved sidewise to
get ag off the ways on which she still
rests, This will bring her close along
side her summer companion, the De-
fend which was hauled out some
time 90 and Is nearest the wharf.
Thes Two leading yachts of the United
Stat lhaye been hauled out at the
way IL John Hawkins for two reasons
FIJI i, because the employees are ac-
custc ed to the work, and second, be-
caus ne only other ways except the
Herr .5frs, which will haul out such
deep cats az these belong to the Gov
ernn 10 and cannot be used.
