YACHTING.
HOPE EXPRESSED HERE THAT THE
TRIAL RACES WILL NOT BE HELD
AT NEWPORT.

The report that c. Oliver Iselin. OF the Columbia,
ard w Butler Duncan. of the Defender were in
|avor of holding the Official trial races Of the boats
81 Newport was much discussed yesterday ny
,achtsnen Of this city. II was said In the pub
isbed report that IL Messrs. Iselin and Duncan
could impress their ideas the Cup Committee
q, the New-York Yacht Club, the official trials
,or selection OF a defender would be held Off New
mort and not off Sandy Hook. The only reason
eiven for this change OF programme was that II
che Yachts were sailed off the Hook they would
have to be lowed long distance 10 the starting
line which was IAN inconvenience"
II was pointed out yesterday that the contesting
yachts do not come up to New-York between each
race but lie at anchor inside the quiet bay made
bv the long sandbar called Sandy Hook. The dis
lance from this anchorage TO the Scotland Light
ship from which the start might take place. is
only three or four miles and the boats are close at
hand all the time. on the other hand, there is con-
siderable towing sailing to be done at Newport
before the starting point is reached. on consider
ing these things several New-York yachtsmen have
said that in their opinion the reason given for the
proposed change only TO cover some more I'M
portant reason. 1t also said that the Columbia
neople did not like the way the New ork papers
discovered and reported the Columbia's alleged
weak points. The general opinion was that the
Cup Race Com,nittee will not consent to remain a
long time at Newport. away from their homes and
buslness in order 10 save the yachts from four
miles Of towing.
The whole proposal Is distasteful TO the people OF
New-York. who are already aware that many OF
The best annual racing entertainments OF the New
York Yacht Club are always sailed off Newport
and not in the home waters.
