stitution and Columbia. in which the
former boat again demonstrated her
superiority over the other two. the
challenge committee Of the New York
yacht club selected the Reliance as
the defender Of the Americas cup.
IL was also decided to discontinue
the trial races
Messrs. Morgan, Of tie Columbia,
and Belmont. Of the Constitution,
were perfectly satisfied with the
choice Of the committee. They are
both Of the opinion that the Reliance
is the fastest Of the trio.
From the showing of the three
boats during the season the Reliance
is fairly entitled to be the defending
vessel. In every race she has crossed
the finish line ahead and has lost hut
few events on time allowance. Ii is
probable the defender will proceed &c
Bristol for thorough overhauling.

The extremity Of the danger
