Nkwi-oht. Sept. 2.-In tlie first of tho trial
rnccs between tho Columbln and tho Dofender
held oft hero this nftcrnoon, the superb new
elnglo-Btlokernmply proved hurmettle nun Cup
defondor, winning handily from tho old cham
plon br tho mnrsln of 0 .minutes, 40 seconds.
It was n bent to windward lltteeti miles ami a
run home with the wind almost abeam. Tho
start wnsnspleiKlid exhibition of seamanship
In which tho Dofondor carried off tho lion's
hare of honors, but both sloops covered them
selves with glory fiom tho time their bows
darted over the line, until tho race went down
In yachting annals.
All things considered the raco was sailed
tinder coudltlons that mora noarly approached
perfection than any of tho previous matches
between tho big HO-footers, Tho Columbia
made by far tho bost exhibition In hor career.
Her wlndwnrd work, nlvvays n fcaturo was the
best that sho has yut shown unit undnr her
new adjustment of weight below the wntor
Hue and with the steel mast In place, sho
proved to bu a steadier boat than the
etaunch Defender The '11.1 champion crossed
the starting lino seventeen seconds to the good
but Hoiroslioft's now wonder rapidly over
hauled her. At tho outer mark, tho
Columbia led by f minutes. 10 seconds,
aetunl tlmo. On the run homo tho old
sImop got tho benefit of a better wind and
ronetiuently tho Columbia's gain on the
homo leg was only 1 minute 11.1 socoads.
It waB apparent thut Mr. Iselin was not
showing off tho now Cup defender to the limit.
1 he lactic of hauling In tho baby jib-topsail to
observo tho ofTect, tried on Uio day tho Colum
bian stoel mast buckled, was followed to-day
and for a mllo or moro this handicap was Im
posed. Dofender cut down the lead porocptl
bly until the tnanglo was again ehakon out
'I he general impression In nahting circles to
night was that the Columbia was making
rnplJ strides in her form. As one yachtsman
v ho is closely identified with the HerreshofTs.
s.-.ul:
Hcrrcshoft is convinced that tho Columbia Is
the fastest yacht that was ever built Ho also
believes that tlm limit in the development of
im-footai-H with the bulb keel has boon
reached. The only avenue now open is a re
turn to tho centreboard with Its possibilities."
At no time sinco the two big sloops have been
at It In earnest has tlioro been any decided
doubt that tho Columbia was tho faster boat.
The trial races, therefore, may bo consid
ered metelr as tuning up spins held under
inoio than tho ordinary surroundings and
under tho glamor that attaches to tho trial
imecs for the selection of America's flootost
. sloop.
A well-defined rumor to the end that only two
races in nil will constitute tho trlnl races has
rc-elvcd verifications from yachtsmen who are
, in touch with the llegatta Committeo of tho
Nw York Yncht Club. They say that the new
boat will have satisfactorily established her
superiority In one moro brush of mnrlno
heels. The official time of to-day's race Is as

"oture frowned upon the first of tho
trial series all through tho morning. A dis
piriting drizzle kept Newport's feminine
population In doors. dressed the
floating contingent In jellow- oil skins
and souwostors and trlod vainly to dampen tho
racer's bran now suit of sails. A fair breeze
bold steady from tho southeast and late arriv
ing yachts reported the conditions outsldo to
be favorable for n race, barring the rain There
was not mist enough to fill a club topsail, but
the ancient nnd honorable mariners one nnd
all declared that the day would be a wot one
'rom tun up to sun down.
The harbor wns not jammed with tho big
fleet of toothpick stenni ynchts nnd cruising
loops and 'schooners that graced hervvators

I North Atlantic squadron made yesterday when
I It weighed anchor for l'hlladelphla. All was
gray nnd grim, but tho sun was gamoly prlok-

it finally succeeded.
Meanwhile, in n gontlo fall of rain, the He
gatta Committee. 8 Nicholson Kane, Chester
Oriswold and Irving Orlnnoll. was holding on
outdoor maclntoslied conference nt tho club
if station landing, with C.Oliver Iselin. Oolum
I bin's inannglng owner. Mr Iselin Informed

R respected nnd after a short powwow, tho com-
Wk mltteo bulletined tho statement that their de-
'r'g cislon would bo made at noon, and that the
i I raco would bo started at 1 o'clock If the rnln
liad ccasod by that time. Mr. Iselin then took
I V his launch to the I olnmbin, and the committee
If ' bonrdod ono of the Corsair's launches with
Commodore J. I'iorpont Jlorgnn.
Tho Columbia was lying nt her mooring
I In Ilrontou's Cove wltli bur tenilor. tlm St
It Michaels, hovering nearby. Tho Defender
I was off tho torpedo station. Ilotli sloops
mm had boon groomed to the pink of condition,
M'T. Columbia's bronze umlnrbody had been
flHM polished until it presented n llawless surface
H I. to the water. Sho had been "skinned out"
sk until there were only tho tw -iol bulkheads
ffr f below decks. Hor decks were broken only by
IjBy. J neatly colled halyaids. tho foot rails and
H hatchways.
Urn '. It vvas hard to believe vhat the graceful stick
LjHu that tapered far above tho spars of the snr-
Sp' rounding fleet was the one that had buckled in
sV( her second race off Newport. Tho wooden club
topmast that toloscoped Into the hollow steel
mast was painted thosnino grayish brown of
the mast and with tho usual hamper between
hounds' and mastheads dona away with, it
looked llko ono spar. Two stout oak
and steel spreaders jutted out from It
with a businesslike air and every stay nnd
shroud was leading truo. Three t. bro tons of
lead ballast were stowed nway in her under-
body, and the transferral of 2.fiOO pounds of
ahove-deck weight vvas oxpected to work
wonders. The Defender vvas skinned out too,
and her Tobln bronze undorlmdy had been
painted greon, a closer approach to the Emer-
aid Isle's color than is Shamrock's,
The fall of rain was done for tlio day at ll;,'t0
o'clock and Newport woko up to watch
tho racers. Bright bits of bunting were Mut
tered fiom tho Corsair promptly at noon ami
their interpretation was that the laco would
be started from tho Urenton Itcof Lightship at
1 o'clock, A dull boom and tho drift of smote
to windward a moment later ordered the floot
to get undor way. Not a move was. made on
Ij tho two big yachts until 12-03, when'the Deer

critically Inspooted as she bowled along under
tho freshening breeze. Her head sails were a
credit to her tailor and the club topsail was as
taut as tho proverbial whipcord. The big main
sail sot well except along the loach, where the
white canvas was wrinkled This was the most
noticoablo near the tack, but a little wear will
present nn unwrlnkled front to tho winds that

such good effect that sho ilrow nway from tho
JJefcndor, Both tho sloops wore headed for
tho lightship and tho wholesnlo broere senj
thorn nlong at a good clip.
Tho Columbia, hauling to the wind, raced
undor the lee of tho woatlior-benton lightship
on tho port tack, and at tho tlmo scheduled for
tho stait sho came about on tho starboard
tack. Both the big single-stickers plarcrt a
marine game of tng about the lightship and at
1:30 the preliminary signal, tho hoisting
of tho yacht ensign, was made from the flag
ship. A fow minutes before the compass
course, enstsoutheast. had been signaled,
and tho tug Ildgar F. Luckonbaeh steamed
away to log off the miles, The preparatory
signal came nt 1 :3."i and as the gun crackod tho
sloops ran Inshore, and racod over the lino
manu'iivorlng for position.
Tho Dofender passed to windward of the
lightship, hoaded out toward liateman's
I'o.nt. on the port tack, nnd with a smother of
spray dancing from her bows the Columbia
followed 11 hundred yards astern. Thoy went
Into stays at tho same moment, tho Dofcndor
spinning ubout llko n top. Tlier mado for tho
leowardcud of tho line and close up to the
lightship. Tho starting gun's flro set tho
skippors nn J cro.vs nt tho highest point
of tension. Tho Defender was dend
ahead and Columbia hold doggodly on to tho
old slnglestlckor. Capt Rhodes berthed his
boat In tho woathor position nnd crossed tho
lino 17 seconds nlioad of tho Columbia, who was
hugging tho leoward end of tho line. It was n
thrilling start and It sot tho admiring fleet on
edgo for the great raco. The official starting
times wore: Defender, 1:3.":23; Colum )la,
1:35:40.
Both yachts crossed on the port tack and
proko out their baby jlbtopsalls. Columbia
Trent gamoly after tho fljlng sloop with the
groeu undorbody, and sho footed llko n run
away. She was oatlag right into the eyes of tho
wind and tho pig lead Inhorunderbodynndtho
added weight to her bulb keel hold hor up as stiff
as a liner. Defender showed tho greater heel, a
wondorful reversal of previous conditions. On
the gallant old racer's weather side, at tho load
wator line, two red spots showed dully on the
green. They wore mementoes of tho visit of
Iiord Dtinraven nnd recalled the episodes that
havo invested hor with a sentiment that rivals
thatassoclatod with the old schooner America,
All thoughts of sentiment were driven to the
winds, however, by tho work of the two boats.
Not the length of a bowsprit separatod them n
hundred yarils from tho start, for tho new sloop
had picked up tbo fleetest pair of marine heels In
these waters. Unrr had his heart set on taking
tho Defender's wind. IIo pointed the Columbia
to the windward of tho flying sloop ahead of
liiui, but lihodes was not napping. Ho pinched
tho Defender and shook oft tho Columbia At
1:44 llarr tacked and Rhodes followed suit.
Barrngnlu began to pinch the Columbia up on
the weather quarter of the Defender.but fulled
and went hack to the port tack, heading to tho
southward. It was a skirmish of bruins.
Both sloops stood off to the eastward on the
starboard tack. The old champion was footing
too fast to let the Columbia slip up under her
lee. and Rhodes, to nrotrct hlmlf.

all tho time ho was Improving his weather
position. Barr spilt tucks nt 1 :47. and
both sloops zigzagged nway from port to
starboard and from starboard to port like
two waterhugs in n bucket. The Defender
shook oft nor rival at every attempt
or Ilarr to gain an advantage, but all th" while
the Cohlmtiln was" being gamely worked to
windward. She made tho coveted berth nt
1 :4M. nnd from that moment opened up 11
gap. outpointing the Defonder In remarkable
fashion.
On hoard the Columbia were C. Oliver Iselin.
Sirs. Iselin. Herbert I.eeiN. Woodbury Kane

'he new Herreshoft creation. The stenni
Tiichts Sagamore nnd Nourmnhal were elon
upon the two sloops anil tho rest of the lleet
wns strung out to tho southward. The hieere
had passed the ton-knot cult, and every thread
of canvas from the dock lines to tho trucks
whs doing eftleient service
The Columbia went about on tho port tack at
1 :."i o'clock and the Defender spun about ten
seconds Inter. The windward gap vvas open
ing but the old boat wns footing fnster than
ever boforo In sueh a broeze. Tlio sloops
stood out to sea nnd the freshening breeze
llattened the tops of the ens ns It racd
them. Tho skies were wrought In fantastic
shapes, and the racng sloops, tlio hurrying
lleet and tlm setting of sea nnd skv made .1
brilliant marine picture. The wind hauled n
little to tho east, and in nil respectA it was
second only to ibe blow In which t lie sloops
raced from Newport to Vineyard Haven on the
cruise of tho New York Vaeht t tub Inst month.
At 1:57:10 the Columbia swung to the star
board tack and tlio Deer lle tars haulod In on
tho baby jlli top-sail hnlvards. The tnlvards
fouled and tho triangle fluttered in the stiff
hrteze. It wns a minute nnd a half before
the running gear vvus set to lights nnd tlio sail

pulling hard. The way in which she footed

tion. Her lee mils were well undr 11ml the
whlte-elnd sailors were bunched to windward,

her head up rt trifle and It shot through and
over the 6eus llko a keen razor Tho Defender
was still going after her hnrd. for the new
hendsnil had not yet entered into the full
harmony of Columbia's sail plan although
it stood out llko a sheet of tin.
Thotrnllof the I.uckenbach's staff was still
dim on the horizon and tho steam yachts be
gan to cut across lots for the outer mark.
There vveio no iiceompanying sail yachts, for it
would have Iw-nn useless for them to try to
keep up with the blue ribbon sloops.
At 3 o'clock tho Columbia took in hor jib top
sail for tho second tlmo nnd the Defender fol
lowed suit. The new liont went Into Htays at
3-17, spun nboul as though swung 011 n swivel
and llllud awuy on tho port tack Tho
Defender did the same two minutes
later and at 3:20:30 sho went back to the star

Defender just bcfoie rounding the Moat was
struck full with u vigorous gust and heeled

The Columbia's spinnaker pole was run out.
nnd nt 4:00 thu big stretch of canvns rilled to
the wind. The wind was not directly onough
aft to spill the wind from the spinnaker to tho

at tlio foot. Tho Defender's spinnaker
was set at 4. IK. Both the skippers
had taken in tho jibs und forestaysalls
Tho Dofender's boom at times dipped In the
seas on her port hand, but the Columbia's
swung high und dry. Both sloops bowled

rival so decisively as on tho windward leg
.She moro than held her own. but tho Dsfomlor

fllr Thomas Upton and his friends,
who nrrivod on l'rlday ntternoon on the
Campania, wero disappointed Yesterday
morning when they found the rain was
pouring down as It it had not left the
sky before In six months. It put sailing
out of tho question, nnd all had expected to be
able to glv e the Shamrock her first trial In these
wators. Those on the Shamrock wero just as
sorry that tho trial hnd to be postponed. Tho
men have been here two weoks nnd have had
hard work all that time. Thoy wanted to
havo a sail and hnd been looking forward to It
for some days.
Sir Thomas is usually an early riser, but the
voyage had made him tlrod, nnd it was I)
o'clock before ho had his breakfast at tho Fifth
Avenue Hotel. After the moal thero was a lit
tlo hiifluess for him to attend to, nnd then nt
10:30 o'clock he loft the hotel for the Sham
rook off TompklnsTllle. Ho was accompanied
by David llurrle, his representative hero: Wil
liam Fife, Thomas Itatsey and Mr. Connell.tho
Clyde nmatour sailor who is to help on tho Sham
rock. Tho party d rove to tho footof West Twenty-third
street, whore thoy boarded tho tug
James A. Uiwiencn and In less than an hour
nfterloavlng the pier stopped on tho deck of
the Erin. He was greeted by Capt. Matthews
and for a few minutes Sir Thomas ohatted
with his sklrper. IIo had a few kind wordsfor
each of tho crew ho mot. Ho spont n short
tlnifl looking the yacht over and was delighted
with the condition ho found ovcrythlng in.
It wns still raining, and there was nothing to
do but wait for tho weather to clear.
Tho Shamrock wns anchored a fow hundred
vnrds ahead of the Krln nndSlrThomas and
Messrs. Fife and ltntsoy stood at the rail for
somotlnio carefully looking hor over. They
talkod together for some time and then retired
to tho cabin to dlcuss their plans. Captains
Hogarth and Wrlngo wore sent for and they
wore admitted to tlio council as soon ns they
arrived on the Krln. It was honed that the
weather would clear by noon and that the sails
might bo set during the nftcrnoon and the
yacht given u trial. The weather, howovor.
nfter giving n few signs of clenring, cjouded
over again and tho sail had to be abandoned, nn
It was not thought wise to uncover tho sails and
get them wet.
In the nfternoon Sir Thomas ordered tho
launch, and, wltli Fife, Ilatsoy and Barrle. went
over to tho Shamrock and Inspeetod tho yacht
thoroughly. The crew lined up nt the sides ns
tho launch drew near tho yacht and uhoorod
ns Sir Thomas steppsd on board. Mr. I'lfont
once got to work. With Captains Hogarth
and Wringe ho went all over tho boat and
looked at all tho rigging and nt everything
that had been done. When he returned to tho
I'.rln. nfter having been on board the Sham
rock for an hour and a half, bis looks showed
that ho was well pleased with everything that
he had seen.
Sir Thomas I.lpton was sosn on tho Erin late
In the afternoon by. a icportor of Tub Sun.
"I had hoped," said Sir Thomas, "that we
would be able to have n sail. We want to have
the yacht out us much as possible between now
and the Cup races to get her In tho best pos
sible condition, but the weather to-day forced
us to remain at anchor. Wo shall he nut sail
ing every line day from now on, Sundays ex
cepted 1 do not work on Sunday, nnd
1 do not make any 0110 work for me. On
Monday, however, we shall sail. The start
will be made about II o'clock 111 the morn
ing and we shall sail as long as It
is thought iieccssniy, u havo lots of
work ahead of us. To raco for tho America's
Cup does not menu just building 11 yacht nnd
bringing her across tho water and sailing her
in tho contests. Thero Is lots of work to bo
done to got the yacht in proper condition nnd
we are determined to havo her In the best pos
sible condition by thetimo she meets thoHliam
rock. We lenlle thntwo have undertaken no
ensy task In dying to win the America's Cup.
but if hard work will help the Shamrock then
she will he helped very much.
"I Intend to sail on the Shamrock in all of her
trial spins nnd I shall hnon board in each of tho
contests. That's what 1 had the yaoht built for.
This vaehting Is a business now. and I am afraid
1 shall have no time for anything else. My
headquarters will be on the Krln. but I shall re
tain my apartments In the Fifth Avenue Hotel."
"Can you tell meant thing or tho plans for
the Shamrock. Sir Thomas? ' usked tho re
porter. "Mi. Fife Is tho man who lias mapped out
what will he done, hut 1 don't iliink he will toll
any one just now I'.verv one knows what has
to be done to get a vaeht in taclng dim, but
just how Mr. Fife will go about tlm woik Is
known only to hlmlf. The yacht will im
docked sometime, but we have not yet decided
on tho day.
"My recojitlon horo has been very gratifying.
I know I had lots of friends, but I llnd I havo
more thiui I had reckoned on. The Invitations
that I have received nre fnlrly overwhelming
nnd It will bo Impossible forme toncceptthem.
In fact I don't think I shall have time for any
thing but tho yacht. Moro than fifty clubs
havo extendod to me tho courtesies of their
homes. This is vor delightful, but If I availed
myself of all Iheo privileges, I think tho yacht
won d suffer."
"Will you go to Newport to see any of tho
dial races?"
"I should like to do so very much, but could
nnt without neglecting tho Shamrock. I 11 in
very anxious to see the Columbia, but I shnll
have to wait. We have every coufldonco In tho
Shamrock, but I would liko to explain that we
are not boasting In any way. The Shamrook
Is tlio best yacht over built In England and
tlio Columbia Is the best vncht ever
built over bore. We think, nnd very
naturally, too. thnt the Shamrock Is
as fast n boat as thero Is. nnd wo shall believe
this until sho has been beaten. If the Colum
bia bests her, then wo will aoknowledgo that
the Columbia Is the bettor boat. I don't think
that there'ls any ono who can figure out just
now which boat will win. Wo think that they
aro very close together In speed nnd tho races
for tho cup will decide which Is the faster."
Several yachts sailed past the Erin and
Shamrock during tho afternoon nnd saluted.
Tho flags on tho Krin nnd Shamrock wore
dipped in an acknowledgment ench tlmo and
when Kir Thomas was on board tho Erin ho
l.ilscd his hat to those on tho yachts. Sir
Thomas returned to town late In the afternoon
and went to tho Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Tho twoCingalose servants of Sir Thomas
are catching some of tho enthusiasm about
the Shamrock fiom thoso on tho Erin. These
two men are the psrsonul servants of Sir
Thomas I.lpton and they aro dressed In their
natlvn costumes. The tailor 'of tho two Is
called Erin instend of his heathenish sounding
name, and tho smallor man Is called Sham
rock. Krin has become quite 11 gambler.
While on chore a fow nights ago ho found a
man who declared that tho Columbia would
win. This opinion did not meet Erin's views
nnd ho promptly offored to make a bet. The
Columbia enthusiast was willing and a stake
holder was found who took caro of the money
the two mon put up. Erin is very confident.
He talks a llttlo English nnd yesterday told a
Sun reportor that "Sham-a-rock win." Tlio
man smiled as ho sa(d tills and then he told
how ho had hot "two doll."
Theie was little to be done on th Shamrock
yesterday. Tho yacht is In condition now to go
out sailing on 11 few moments' notice, and It is
thought that to-morrow morning when Sir
Thomas I.lpton arrlvss on board her tall will
be hoisted at once and she will sail Into the
wators of the lower bay. After having lulled
about as long as those on board want, she will
probably go to the Horseshoe and anchor there.
Some of the msn wero at work on small jobs
on tho rigging and others were on the barge
overhauling the spars and rigging there.
Sixteen biles of sails and two steel plates
arrived on the St, Paul from SouthamptoniVes
