GREETED the accident very much
Although the accident to the CON-

the Columbia while the latter was racing
the Defender in July, 1899, only few
miles farther off shore, the wind yester-
dav was far stronger. In fact, fully as
stiff as any breeze that the 1899 defender
encountered.
Had the yacht been racing instead OF
tuning up. she would probably have
swung another clubtopsail i'm place OF the
one that was carried away.

the topmast shrouds jumped out of the
starboard spreaders which caused the

big pole struck the mast as IL came
down. and like the Constitutions the
hollow spar collapsed Immediately, but

went over the rail, although Mr.. lseln
