THE RELIANCE OUTClASSEO
The Columbia Sails Away from the Ne W
Boat in Light Wind.

Glenn Cove, l.. l., May Sit required
just twenty minutes for the cup defender
Columbia to demonstrate to-day that in
light wind and beating to windward
she is a better boat than the new Here
shon cup yacht Reliance. Starting from
position to leeward and slightly astern
OF the Reliance the Columbia sailed
through the new boats lee. tackled across
her bow and in the next leg of a mile and
half increased her lead to nearly a
quarter of a mile Reliance then with
drew. When the Columbia went through
her lee the Reliance kept off and volun-
tarily gave up the advantage of her wind
ward position. but she was none the less
decisively and emphatically outsailed.
This was the first brush between the
two boats and the sea was as smooth as
a pond.
Many who saw the brush to-day said
that despite her greater sail area, the Re
lance is outclassed by the Columbia in
n light wind even if tho sea be smooth,
though her greater sail area made po-
sibc by her powerful hull was expect ed
to enable her to give a good account of
herself even in the sound breezeS. The
critics also said that to-day's perform
ancc raises grave doubts whether Design
or Herreshof's second attempt to build
a boat to beat the Columbia is any more
of success than his first.
