mount Yacht club The Columbia won
by 3 minutes and I second actual time.

The race was sailed IN Z Southwestern
Iy wind that was light at the start, but
freshened later into a fine sailing

wanted to carry with club topsails

The breeze at it's best was something
over Il miles an hour. 1t was. close to

was fully the equal of the Columbia.
The Columbia, with n better fitting
club topsail. Saturday, pulled away
from the Defender in n style that made
her admirers happy. She did not in
deed run away from the old boat, but
she gained so steadily as to make it GER
tain that she will do better later on
when she is in perfect trim.
Judging by the previous sailing Of
the boats, Saturday was the Defenders
best play. 1t was just good club top
sail breeze. all the boats could carry
and perhaps a bit more.
Therefore. when the Columbia wins
out by a fair margin it is no more than
justice to still call her wonder" and
to predict that she will more than come
up to Mr.. Iselins expectations of five
minutes over the Defender on a 30-mile
course.

The official course was IS miles, twice
