ALMOST A DRAWN RACE.
Were Time Allow" ce Given Defender

We're Time Allow" cc Given Defender
Would BE Jne Winner.
Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug. IL
The old Defender practically won
race against Columbia yesterday, if
time allowance was given, in the
dirtiest sort of weather for a yacht
club to cruise. But the victory, it
must be admitted, was more than well
earned, and the yachtsmen of the New
York club and their guests never saw
before, and may never seen again for
years. such a sailing event. The mar
gin between the famous sloops was four
seconds over a minute in the 81 mile
run from Brenton's Reef lightship off
Newport to the West Chop buoy in
Vineyard sound.
The race between Columbia and De-
fender was fairly soul stirring. After
both got away over the starting line
it was nip and tuck, with eased sheets
for almost an hour. Defender just
hairs breadth, comparatively speak
ing, in the lead with Columbia abeam
Even after Columbia made a gain so
that Defender could cross under her
stern Columbia did not walk away, as
the heavy breeze hove the latter down
and made her lose distance on repeat
ed luffs.
Defender crossed the starting line
at 11:30;10 and Columbia at 11:20:40
For 10 miles the boats sailed side by
side. From the lightship to the finish,
nearly 20 miles, the boats ran some
what more off the wind and Columbia
drew away from Defender finishing
one minute and four seconds ahead.
