Newport. II. l., June 23.-The first
trinl of the new American cup defender

was more successful than either her

hope. Not only did the new boat
show herself TO lie able in every par
ticular. but she met the old racer. De-
fender, in friendly brush of a mile
to windward and vanquished her with
the greatest ease. The race between
the flyers, which was over in five min.
utes, was sailed in an elght-knot breeze
under the same conditions, each boat
carrying three lower sails with sheet
well flattened. 1t took the Columbia
about three minutes. sailing from the
Defenders weather quarter. to blanket
her, and In five minutes she was 100
yards ahend. going past the old Gun
defender as If The latter were anchored.
Under these circumstances it would
seem that the Columbia were from mr.
teen to twenty seconds per mile faster
than the Defender. and If she can
make the same gain in a hard blow
the fears for the safety OF the Ameri-
cas- cup will be considerably lessened.
