Here are the official figures showing
time of each yacht at all points:

On the first leg of the course,
reach of about four miles with beam
wind. the Defender gained two sec
onds. On the second leg of six miles,
in which there was some WlndWard
work, the Columbia gained one minute
and SO seconds. On the third leg
three mile run before the wind with
spinnakers set, the Defender gained six
seconds. On the first leg the second
time around, the Columbia gained one
minute, eleven seconds, in the close
hauled work on the second leg she
gained only thirty-six seconds, and in
the run to the finish the Defender
gained 43 seconds. The official sum-
mary is as follows:
Start-Columbia u: So; Defender,
12:40:41.
Finish-Columbia 324:09; Defender,
3:27:10.
Elapsed time-Columbia 2:43:16;
Defender, 2:46:29.
Columbia beats Defender three min
utes ,rty-three seconds actual time.
The only unfortunate part of to-day's
event was the fact that both the yachts
sailed the wrong course. 1t was in
fact the feature of the day, and the
strange action of those in charge of
the yachts kept every one guessing as
to the ultimate result.
The first leg Of the course was to be
eight miles long, the turning point be-
ing off Stamford, Conn. The yachts
men of the Riverside Club were having
race on the Sound. They set their
turning mark right in the course that
the Columbia and Defender were to
sail over, but only four miles from
their starting point.
When, after an exciting luffing
match, Captain Rhodes saw this mark,
he promptly kept the Defender off and
rounded it, and for while no one
knew whether it was a real race or
not.
G.. Oliver Iselin explained matters
when seen after the race by an Asso-
ciated Press representative. He said
THE Defender made the mistake AMI
we simply followed her to make a race.
1t has turned out a good one: We are
very well satisfied with it all around.
We both made mistake, but it has
been the best all around race we have
yet had. l am satisfied that the Column
bia is the better boat, but she will go to
Bristol and have her sails re-cut before
she races again"
The regatta committee say that the
event will be considered as a race and
Commodore Postley will probably
award the cup to the Columbia.
After the race Columbia fouled De-
fender. Defender had just caught her
moorings off New Rochelle after the
race when Columbia caught the end of
Defenders boom and 1T snapped off
two-thirds distance from the mart, one
third from the end. The sail was I'M
bent and the broken boom taken on
board the Defender. There is no pros
pect of any more races until new parts
can be obtained.

she fulfilled every promise to-day and
gives evience of being the best equipped

She returned to Southampton tonight.
It is the belief here that the trials were
in every way successful, both as to
speed and steering qualities. The yacht
will repeat the speed on July Is.
