NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP :COLUMBIA WINS AGAIN; Leads Defender Into Newport by Over Eighteen Minutes. RUN WAS TWENTY-TWO MILES -- Cruise Is Ended.NEWPORT, Aug. 12.—The New York Yacht Club squadron is again
at anchor in the harbor to-night, and so far as the club runs are concerned, the
cruise of 1899 is over. The last run of twenty-two miles today, from New Bedford
to this port, was not much of an improvement over yesterday's flukiness, for
while the wind held on longer, the yachts ran into soft spots and five miles
from the finish ,the entire fleet was becalmed for half an hour. Public domain |
