COLUMBIA DEFEATS DEFENDER
New Boat Showed Fine Speed at the
First Run Of the Club

Green Port. l.. l., Aug. S.-The first
run of the New York Yacht Club today
from New London out into the sound as
far as Watch Hill and back to GARDENERS
Bay, was one of the most successful in
the clubs history. Not only was the
day an ideal one with a great whole
sail breeze from the west, which. held
through from the start to finish, but
the club watched with pride the nlagnl-
ficent run of the queen of the fleet, Col
umbia. which fairly distanced every
other yacht with the exception of De-
fender, and she, too, was defeated by
four minutes and one second in thirty
mile race.
The old cup defender Vigilant was
beaten by the two flyers nearly an hour,
but much of this was no doubt due to
the fortunate run of Columbia and De-
fender along the Fishers Island shore,
while the rest of the fleet kept over on
the other side of the sound
Over fifty yachts crossed the line at
New London and nearly all finished in
GARDENERS Bay, although some of them
did not get in until toward night.
The run gave the yachts a good broad
reach to Race Rock of 31a miles. a fine
run before the wind to Watch Hill OF
80 miles and grand beat of 1871 miles
IN Il constantly increasing breeze to the
hnlSh, an ideal course all around
by far the greatest event of the day
was the magnificent seven miles run
of the Columbia from Fishers Island 70
Great Gull Island, during which she
averaged close to a 13-knot gait. 1t was
on this leg, made very close to the wind.
that the Columbia pulled out so far
on the Defender, for while the boats
were but Il short eighth of a mile apart
under Fishers Island there was nearly a
mile and half Of water between them
at Great Gull Island. Both yachts had
all the wind they could stagger uader,
and the Columbia hauled down her jib
topsaid during q ten minutes interval
when it blew the hardest She set it up
again, however, when the Defender be-
gan to pick up and held her advantage
to the line. Neither boat was held back
a particle. 1t was a good square test
of the merits of the old and new boats.
and the latter may be put down as a
good four minutes faster under the
present conditions and with her steel
mast in, couple of minutes more.
Once during the day, just after the
start. the Columbia seemed inactive
and lifeless and the Defender almost
got by her. Just before reaching Race
Rock the new boat seemed to find her
self again and from there she was
never in danger, While her great run
on the last leg will never be forgotten
by those who witnessed it.
Summary of the Columbia Defender
race:
Start Columbia. 11:21:22; Defender,
11:21:40.
Finish Columbia 2:59:59; Defender,
3:04:1S
