DETAILED STORY OF THE RACE.
Columbia Runs Away from Defender
Except in stiff Breeze.

NEW YORK, July 6.-At 10 o'clock a
fairly steady braeze came in a little west of
south, but squall killed it later. The De-
fender had then passed the Hook and was
entering Gedneys channel. The peak of
the Columbas mainsail began to show at
1925. 1t took until 10!40 to set the sail. The
yacht was then beginning to feel the east
crly swell on the bar and 1t pounded some
as Ii was led into it.

head to wind and the yachts mainsail was

Columbia began to draw and 1t began to
gain on its adversary. Both shippers were
now straining for the mastery. Both
pinched until their head sails doubled as
they strove for the weather gauge.
The Columbia continued to gain on every
tack, and few minutes before the first
mark was reached 1t crossed the Defender 8
bow on the starboard tack 1t rounded the
stake exactly one minute ahead of the De-
fender. AS it eased it's sheets and turned
in the track the steam craft blew their
congratulations.
But here also the trouble with its head
was conspicuous. Both yachts had slowed
their baby jbs and had sent up their big
jib topsails in steps as they approached
the stake, but the Defender. although the
last around, broke out Its big jib fully a
minute before the Columbia loosened its.
And then the lutters had to be taken down
and reset. On the long reach for the Sec
ond mark, with the wind abeam, the Column
bia gained ffty-eight seconds.

When the rainfall ceased the wind hauled
to the west and instead of running home

yachts made the last leg with the wind on

to the spectators
The wind gradually died down and when
the yachts were within about half mile

Immediately taken in tow by their tugs and
brought UP the bay.
Herbert Leeds, on behalf of Mr.. Iselin,
said after the race that the owners of the
Columbia were very well satisfied and hoped
to do better when their sails were made
more trim. He said there was no accident
of any kind and the yacht would leave for

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Secretary Hay
said today that he had received no notice
from President Schurman of the Philippine
commission of his intention to sail i'm
mediately from Manila for home. nor any
word from him since his return from his
trip to the islands, south of Luzon. 1t was
fully expected by the department that Mr..
Schurman would return to the United States
in season to take UP his work as president
Of Cornell university at the beginning Of
the fall term tand 1T is believed that he
undertook this visitation in order to be
able to report personally to the president
the exact conditions prevailing among those
unknown groups OF islands up ito the latest
moment. There is believed to be no reason
why Mr.. Schurman should delay his depar-
ture from Manila until later in the summer
for the indications are that there will be no
change OF moment in the political situation
in the Philippines before the next dry sea
son at least.
