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. BEATS TWO-MINUTE CLIP.
