Challenger for America's Cup
Sails New York Bay.
STEAMERS SALUTE THE YACHT.
In Trial Trip She Makes a Highly Fa
vorable Impression Friendly Fleet
Follows the Irish Boat Columbia
May Guard the Cup.
Now York , Aug. 23. Sir Thomas
Llpton's now challenger for the Amer
ica's cup , the Shamrock II , had her
first trial spin In New York bay yester-
f day , and although It only lasted 90
I minutes It was a most satisfactory
I * performance fiom start to finish. Sir
Thomas Upton and Designer Watson ,
both of whom wore on board the yacht
during her trial , expressed themselves
as perfectly satisfied with the result.
In sailing about eight miles to wind
ward against a two knot breeze , she
covered the distance In 57 minutes ,
and the reach back of six miles In 40
minutes. At times , while on the wind ,
T + J she put her lee rail under a ttffle , but
i she showed herself well able to carry
* * * f her sail and she appeared to bo quite
1 as stiff as either the Constitution or
the Columbia.
All craft In the channel saluted the
Shamrock and Its two consorts , Erin
nnd the tug James Lawrence as they
passed down the bay , and on the re
turn trip Sandy Hook boats , steam
yachts , tugs , In fact every vessel that
had a whistle saluted the handsome
yacht all the way up to the anchorage
off Stapleton.
COLUMBIA WINS EASILY.
Scores Decisive Victory Over the
Constitution.
Oyster Bay , N. Y. . Aug. 23. The Co
lumbia gave the Constitution a good
sound beating yesterday , twice around
the Seawanhaka triangular course. On
corrected time the older boat won by
two minutes and five seconds , but the
figures do not represent the decisive
ness of the Columbia's victory , for as
a matter of tact she beat the new boat
twice. The first time around the tri
angle of 14 3-4 miles the Columbia
gained over five minutes. Then a
shift of wind on the short leg across
the sound put the Constitution upon
even terms , when a new race was prac-
. * tlcally started , the breeze now coming
' true again. This time the Columbia
gained over a minute and a half. With
the international contest less than a
month away , yutterday's race reopens
the whole cup defender proposition ,
and the yachtsmen are guessing again.
