TRIAL RACES.
Will Be Sailed by Columbia and De.
fender OFF Newport.


IT is now practically settled that the
trial races will be sailed off Newport
between the Columbia and the Defend
er, and that the two boats going TO
Bristol is to prepare for these races.
which Will be of more than ordinary in
terest. as they viii be officially meas
ured and raced on time allowance
Mr.. Woodbury. Kane, who is closely
identified with Mr.. c. oliver Iselin, and
who has been on the Columbia since
her launching and i'm all her races. was
seen and is authority for the above
statement He could not state how
many races would be sailed, that mat
ter resting entirely with the race com
mittee, but he thought that the first
one would be on Friday, Sept. l.
He said there were several reasons
why Newport had been selected for
these trial races, one and the chief rea-
son being that Ii would do away with
the long tow TO and from Sandy Hook.
which would be necessary If the yachts
were in New York, using up much time.
Another reason rs that Mr.. IseEn and
the owners wish to be within easy ac-
cess to the Herreshoff works should
there be any accidents.
There is plenty OF sea room off New
port, and the big sloops would not BE-
hampelpd by excursion boats. so that
the boats can be tested fairly and
squarely, and as they are always on the
racing ground no towing out and in is
necessary.
one yachtsman, when spoken TO on
the subject said he thought that it was
the beginning of the change of. all big
races from off Sandy Hook to Newport
