END OF YACHT RACING.
Columbia Closed the Series With
Another Defeat of Defender.

NEWPORT, R. L, Aug. 15.-Under the
cIearest of skies Columbia put the
finishing touches on her series of victories
over the Defender in the cruise of the
New York Yacht club, by winning today
by minutes 81 seconds.
The ffckleness of the breeze caused dis
appointment, and the race, which looked
at the start as though it was going to be
a splendid one, drifted into a lazy drift
ing match. The race was given by the
New York Yacht club as a fitting wind-up
of it's summer cruise, and cups were Of
fered as prizes for the competing yachts.
In addition to the race between
schooners and sloops, all the thirty-foot-
ers in these waters had a little racing
of their own, the trophy being hand
some silver cup offered by Commodore J.
Pierpont Morgan, of the New York Yacht
club.
There was considerable interest in the
schooners' class, in which Amorita and
Quisetta competed. OF course Columbia
won from Defender, and it appears that
the people down this way are getting
rather tired of seeing these big single
stickers race, for the fleet that witnessed
the contest was not nearly as large as
yesterday.
Amorita won easily from her rival, Qui-
setta. In the thirty-footer class Carolina
won by skllful handling.
The start made by the CoIuapla anu
Defender has never been equaled by such
large boats in any race. A bare two sec
onds separated them when they tore over
the line, carrying clouds Of canvas aloft,
and they were only twenty-seVen seconds
later than gun-flre in crossing. Ten min
utes before the time to start both skip
pers began joczeying for the better posi-
ton, and Charley Barr proved once more
what a great head he has by placing Co
lumbia just to weather Of Defender, less
than fifty feet away. It is no discredit to
Capt. Rhodes, however, that he was I'm
der the boats lee, for one of the two had
to be there where there is such a start
as today's, and it fell to him to be the
unlucky one.
Time was getting short when Barr
jibed the Columbia's mainsail to star
board and swung around for the line.
Defender was already steering that way,
and down they both came for it, breaking
out jib topsails and hosting balloon stay
sails as they did so. For q few seconds
they held along on even terms, but Co.
lumbia, having the weather berth, cut off
Defenders wind enough to check her
little, and as they both crossed quarter

LURLINEs DIsBAND.
Rowing Organization Sells Out to
Minil1ahda Club.

The Lurline Boat club, once the crack
rowing organization Of the West, has
ceased to exist. The last step in its dis
solution was accomplished yesterday,
when the clubs navy was sold to the
Minikahda club, in which organization
many of the old LurInes are already
members The boathouse will be torn
down and the proceeds from the sale of
the boats will be divided pro rata among
the active members Of the Lurline club,
about twenty in number
For several years the Lurlina club has
existed only in name. Occasional meet
ings have been held, at which various
schemes We're suggested for reviving in
tereSt in rowing as an athletic sport but
all Of these plans came to naught. The
club, after each meeting, again Withdrew
into Its shell, and was heard of no more
until someone offered another plan, when
the performance was at once repeated.
Today rowing is dead in MINNEAPOLIS
Whether or not the purchase of the Lur-
line boats by the Minikahda club, which
IS essentially a social and not an athletic

SANTRY's STOCK UP.
His Draw with Dixon Helps Him in
PugiIistic Circles.

DUBUQUE, To-, Aug. 15.-The gallant
twenty-round contest put up by Eddie
Santry against George Dixon in New
York last Friday night has done much
to raise the stock Of Santry in his COM
ing match with Tommy White before the
Dubuque Athletic association, as the sec
ond card Of the three nights carnival of
Aug. %. 90 and 81. A story in this connec-
ton will not be out of the way. Santry
was originally booked to meet Dixon at
Parson Davies club, in ST. Louis, late
in July. Before this contest was stopped
Santry was signed to meet White for well
terweight championship, 126 pounds by
Manager HOuseman. When the authori-
ties at st. Louis declined to permit the
ixon-Santry contest, Manager O'Rourke,
of the Broadway Athletic club, made a
bid to transfer the contest to Greater
Gotham. In the articles of agreement
Santry was forbidden to box anywhere
after the date set for the st. Louis meet
ing, but he pleaded so hard and was so
anxious for chance at O'Rourkes little,
duSky champion that the management of
the Dubuque Athletic association finally
withdrew it's objection and told him to go
on. SantryS letter to the manager of
the Dubuque club, under date of Aug. 4,
among other things said: please let me
go on and fight that black champion. L
have tried him out and know that he can
not lick me in a thousand years. Abso-
Iutely the worst 1 can get IS draw.
Please let me fight him. and so it hap
pens that Santry's foresight is correct.
According to reports from the ringside
the little Chicago boxer more than held
his own with the indisputable feather
weight champion Of the world. Reports
indicate that he was the aggressor at
all stages and that he held Little Choco-
late" on an even plane from gong to
gong. Santry is now westward bound
and will probably join the Root and Ryan
training camp at Moline. Jack Root
writes his manager that if he is success
full against the dusky Bostonian he in
tends to force kid" Mccoy to a dis
play of his position. The advance sale
of seats for the carnival is very heavy,
and Treasurer Perry is receiving constant
demands for individual and season tick
cts.
