Looks as IL the Shamrock VIII Prove
an Easy Thing.


Newport, r. l.. June 25.-The first trial
trip or the new American cup defender,
Columbia. which took place in Narragan-
sett bay to-day, was more successful than
either her builders or her owners had rea-
son to hope.
Not only did the new boat show herself
able in every particular, but she met the
old racer Defender in a friendly brush Of
a mile TO windward and vanqulshed her
win the greatest eQse. The race between
the flyers, which was over In Ave minutes
was sailed In an eight knot breeze, under
the same conditions each boat carving
three lower sail with sheet well fiattened
1t took the Columbia about three min
utes. sailing from the Defenders weather
quarter, to blanket her, and In five min
utes she was 100 yards ahead, going past
the old cup defender as IL the latter were
anchored.
Under these conditions II would seem az
If the Columbia were from fifteen 10
twenty seconds n mile faster than the De-
fender, and IL she can make the same
gam In a hard blow anxiety as TO the
safety of the Americas cup will be con-
sderably allayed.
The trip to-day was the builders trial
and although the managing owner c.
Oliver lselin, and a number of his yacht
ing friends were on board still the CO.
lumbia's designer, Nat Herreshoff. was
in charge, and after the sail down the
bay the boat was towed back to Bristol
for a few minor repairs. Ii is expected
the boat will have another trial either to-
morrow or Tuesday, and that by the end
of the week she will be formally turned
over to Mr. Iselin.

CRUISER TAGE GOES TO SEA.
Believed Dreyfus Will BE Trans
ferred From the Sfax.


Brest, June 25.-The French first-class
cruiser Tage put to sea this evening. the
official explanation being that she has
gono to experiment with carrier pigeons.
She is, however, a much larger cruiser
than the Sfax, which is bringing Capt.
Dreyfus and the dispatch of such big
vessel with carrier pigeons is quite unpre-
cedented.
Usually torpedo boat is sent, and the
opinion, therefore, gains ground that the
Tage has gone to meet the Sfax and to
take Capt. Dreyfus on board The pig
cons can be used to announce the transfer,
and the Tage might proceed to another
port to land the prisoner.
AS against this theory and as an indi-
cation that the landing of Dreyfus will be
effected here, there is the fact that large
number of gendarmes to keep back the
crowds at Brest is expected to arrive here
tonight.
The treasurer of the famous French
Fatherland League reached Brest this aft
ernoon from Paris, and as this organiza-
ton has been at the bottom of the anti
Dreyfus movement, it is thought he has
probably come to organize a denomination.
