COLUMBIA MAKES A GOOD SHOWING.
Second Brush with Defender Shows
Up the New Don't We'll.

NEWPORT, R. l., June 27.-In a good,
Wholesale breeze the new cup defender,
Columbia, and Defender, champion of 1895,
had a second and more thorough test of
their relative speed than in the light air of
Sunday and again the new boat proved
that in windward work 1t could both out
point and outfoot the older craft. Both
boats carried mainsai forestay sail. jib
and working topsails and for an equal
length of time the two used small jib top
sails. The steady southwest breeze was
Just strong enough to heel the boats pret-
tily. The racers beat to windward in u
general southwestery direction for almost
two hours and travelled fully ten miles to-
ward Block island from Brentons reef, and
when sheets were eased off for the run
back to Newport Columbia was between
two and three minutes in the lead
AT 1890 Defender jibbed the boom over to
starboard. The wind began to die down
about this time and at / o'clock the helm
was put amidship and Columbias great
white spinnaker was sent aloft. WhSa
everything was ready pull on the tackle
broke out couple of stops and the wind
catching in the canvas, spread the enor-
nous sail for the first time. Despite the
fact that the breeze had fallen off consid-
erably, Columbia took a jump and Travelled
along at ten knots an hour under the great
spread of canvas. The spinnaker was used
but a few minutes, when orders were given
to take 1t in and it was down and the boom
on deck in three minutes and ten seconds
from the time the order was given.
Defender did not run back to Newport
with Columbia, but remained outside cruis-
ing up and down.
