ooLUMBIA's EXCITING VICTORY.
She Defeats the Independence In the
Closest Mace of the Series.

Closest Mace of the Series.
Newport, r. l., Aug. 4.-The Inde-
pendence sailed the greatest race or
her career. In n stiff Southwestern which
raised a rather heavy sea she was beat
en- over triangular course of 30 miles
by the Columbia. AS she allowed the
Columbia 81 seconds over that distance
she was defeated l minute and IL sec
onds corrected time. This is better
showing than the Constitution has
made against the Columbia under SINH
lar conditions of wind and weather.
In the first leg of the triangle, which
was a beat TO windward, the Columbia
gained more than three minutes. No
official time was taken at either the
first or the second mark, so these fig
ures are only approximately correct
The regatta committee estimates that
on the second leg of the course, which
was broad reach, with the wind abaft
the starboard beam, the Independence
gained | minute and 10 seconds on her
opponent. while on the last leg OF the
course, which was sailed with the
wind on the port beam. she gained 80
seconds.
The last leg was the most exciting.
The breeze was puffy and at times had
great weight In it. Being almost
abeam. the yachts felt its full strength.
Sometimes the lee rail of the lndepend-
. euce was completely submerged, and
the water OH deck rushed off in tor
rent over the taifrail. Never before had
she heeled to such a pronounced extent
in n public performance. 1t was notic-
ed that when the squalls We're the
heaviest the Independence steered very
wild and that two men mt the wheel
could not keep her steady on her
course. The yawing about was SO pro
nounced that she would come up into
the wind until the luff Of the Jill topSail
| quivered as though she was close haul
| ed and essaying n tiShcrlnan's luff. \
minute or two later She would he rum
ming wide off her course and covering
| an ample stretch of the ocean. leaving
| behind her II Scrpcntine wake. This
was of course u great dctriment to sue
| cessful achievement.
While the Independence was per-
| forming her Zg2ag work the Columbia
was going through the water straight,
