YACHTING.
DEFENDER AGAIN IN THE GAME.
HER NEW OWNERS MAY SAIL HER IN TIKI
TRIAL CUP RACES


on Sunday last The Tribune published num-
Der Of facts about the Cup yacht Defender I'm order
10 show what could still be done with her as
cruising yacht. though she had at that time
been sold as junk for the announced purpose OF
taking her pieces II was then stated that II was
by no means certain that she would be taken apart
and that she might be used again "a yacht Not
twenty-four hours elapsed before the
printed that the celebrated yacht would be con-
tinued under sail. 1t is said that her pur-
chasers. Mendel. Samuel & Sons. think that this
junk. although not Chinese. is still able sail
good race. and the is that they intend to ft
her out again next spring and clap her into the
trial races. This would be one of the humorisms
OF the yachting season. and if she got hard winds
IN the trial races and beat of the lever
myers. the laugh would extend not from ear To
ear. but from ocean To ocean. Niels Olsen. super
intendent Of the New-York Yacht Club. does not
conceal his opinion that in hard winds the De
fender is faster than the Columbia and it is agreed
by many others that under these conditions the
Columbias superiority lacked proof. and II was
widely doubted
The purchasers are said to have paid $1,000 for
her as junk. and as the money for her
was handed they offered s. 200 for the
sails alone This offer accepted. and the
proposal now is to Put up $4,000 as a wager that
Herreshon Eagle and the coming CrOwninshield
metals stated to be founI in the Defenders
