NEWPORT. Aug. 2S.-The big sloops Columbia
and Defender had 20 outside day in which
the new boat again proved her superiority
over the old cham pion. II was probably the
best test that tho new boat has yet had and
everything worked like a charm. the steel
mast standing the strain we'll. There Was q
strong northeaster blowing. but tho sea was
comparatively smooth.
Early In the morning tho saud came down
from Bristol with Capt. Nat Herreshon who
joined MIR. Iselin on board the Colum bia.
Herbert Leeds and Woodbury. Kane also were
on board during tho test. Both Columbia and
Defender swung from their moorings at about
10 o'clock and with lower sails passed out. 1t
was evident that the two boats were to have
all informal go and quite number watched
them with interest from the shore The De-
fender ran out little the faster. and when
between Brenton's lghtship and Beaver Tail
they started off.
Tho Defender was good leader possibly by
minute. The two boats were running before
the wind spinnakcr hooms were run out and
with the Columbia rapidly overhauling, and
before Point Judith buoy, was reached she bad
rounded It she took in her topsail,, It was
an hour. and the big boat had all she could
carry. Capt. Herreshoff was standing at tho
weather rail watching every move of the boat
1t was then that the order was given to send
down the topmast. This is the first time the
crew have had any drill in this and they did it
we'll Slowly the big pine stick slid down inside
the steel mast until no part Of it showed above
the masthead. She then looked like big
thirty iooter. for all the world.
The Defender in the meantime had rounded
the mark. takon In her topsail. and was max
ing for home. dead to windwa.d. Even with
her topmast up. she was sitter than the
Columbia. which heeled over until her leo
scuppers were awash.
When the lightship. was reached she was
some minutes ahead OF the Defender. In this
mornings trial Capt. Barr favored the boat all
he could. keeping her as high up In the wind
as possible. while the Defender was kept a'hard

This afternoon tho Columbia had a test
Of windward work. and wearing ship in
the bay. with her topmast still housed.
She behaved we'll and returned to her anchor
age under her forestaysail at about 1 o'clock
The Defender did not get out this afternoon.
Capt Herreshoff returned to Bristol this oven
ing. The boats will have another 60 to-mor-
row.
Yaohtsmen and skippers who saw the Column
bia to day say that she is all right. although
some say she Ia too tender, but this fault will
be remedied in time.
