ing her to pieces" It was then stated that
it was by no mea,Is certain that she would
be taken apart and that she might be used
again as a yacht. Not twenty-four hours
elapsed before the news was printed that
the celebrated yacht Would be continued
under sail. 1t is Isew sara that her purchas-
ers Mendel. Samuel al Sons think that
this junk, although not Chinese, is still
able to sail good race. and the rumor
is that they intend to fCher out again next
spring, and clap her into the trial races.
This would be oie of the humortsms OF
the Yachting sea seazn. AID If she got hard
winds in the tria$ races and beat some of
the newer flyers. 7the laugh would extend,
not from ear TO ear, but from ocean to
ocean. Niels Olsen. superintendent of the
New York Yacht Club, does not conceal
his opinion that in haxd winds the De-
fender Is faster than tho Columbia and it
is agreed by many others that under these
conditions the Columbia's superiority lacked
proof, and 1t was widely doubted.
The purchasers are said to have paid $13.-
900 for her az junk, and soon as the
money for her was handed over they were
offered 5000 for the sails alone. This Of
fer was not accepted. and tho proposal now
is to put up $4,000 wager that nothing
afloat can beat her-not even the new Her
reshoT Eagle and the coming Crownin-
shield design for Mr.. Lawson. The amounts
of different metals. stated to be found In
the Defenders construction may hold the
component parts of an interesting story Tor
the student of yachting. 1t IS said that the
purchasers get 10 tons of lead forty-Seven
and onc-half' tons of Tobn bronze and six
tons of aluminium. The Defender was never
at any time alleged to carry more than
ninety tons of lead on her lin, and the
amount of inside movable lead ballast has
been supposed by every one, except Lord
Dunraven, to have been small. II the state
ment about the l21 tons is correct. it VIII
disclose Herreshoff secret which has
never been known to the yachting public.
The Defender Is to be fitted out at the
Erie basin, Brooklyn, at the opening of
the season. She has IL waterline beam Of
twenty-five feet an over all length of about
eighty-nne feet, and she now draws nine
teen feet of water.
