FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 7, 1895. 



The Trial Races. 



Within the past week the repairs on Defender have been completed, 

 two more trial races have been sailed, in each of which she has beaten 

 Vigilant decisively, and she has been selected by the America's Cup 

 committee to meet Valkyrie III. : a new steel boom and gaff have been 

 completed and shipped on ber; Lord Dunraven and Mr. Watson have 

 arrived in New York, his lordship has conferred with the Cup commit- 

 tee and the final arrangements for the races have been perfected, 

 though not yet announced. Valkyrie has been tried several times under 

 sail, a second steel mast and boom have arrived for her and the latter 

 has been shipped, and Defender has gone into the Erie Basin Drydock, 

 probably for the last time before the race of Saturday next. 



The new mast of Defender was stepped late on Aug. 25, a fine stick 

 of Oregon pine, 2in. larger in diameter than the old one and 2ft. longer 

 in the head. The work of rigging was pushed all Monday morning, 

 and at noon she left in tow of the tug Wallace B. Flint, the Hattie 

 Palmer carrying the spare spars. The old mast was hauled out at the 

 Herreshoff spar yard at Walker's Cove, and the spar purchased two 

 years ago for Colonia was also hauled out and worked into shape to 

 serve as a spare mast if necessary later on. The steel gaff and boom 

 were not ready, so they were left behind. The new boom is cylindri- 

 cal, and not ribbed like that of Valkyrie. It is 106ft. long and 16in. in 

 diameter at the center and 8in. at the ends, of a J0 in. steel. Several 

 riggers went on the yacht from Bristol to complete the rigging. De- 

 fender reac' ed New Rochelle early on Tuesday morning. While set- 

 ting up her bobstay, when at anchor, the U-shaped foot of the dolphin 

 striker gave way, a steel forging, and it was found necessary to make 

 a new one. The second trial race, set for Tuesday, had been post- 

 poned until Thursday, and on Wednesday afternoon Defender towed 

 down to the Horseshoe, where both Valkyrie and Vigilant were an- 

 chored. 



Thursday was clear and sultry; even on the water there was no 

 escape from the intense heat. The wind was light and a little west 

 of south, with some roll to the sea. The triangular course lay first 

 southeast, then north by east one-half east, and then west by south, 

 each leg eight miles. The start was given at 11:20:00, Vigilant going 

 over on the weather of Defender after very little maneuvering, the 

 two being timed: Defender 11:20:28, Vigilant 11:20:40. Though under 

 Vigilant's lee. Defender, with clubtopsail and ballom jibtopsail draw- 

 ing, soon worked free and took the lead, gaining steadily as they worked 

 slowly along, the wind gradually dropping, until, a couple of miles from 

 the start, both were nearly becalmed. Meanwhile Valkyrie had come 

 out by t he Hook as the race started off the Scotland, and with a very 

 favorable slant came up very fast on the other two, her hull looking 

 very low and wide through the absence of bulwarks and the broad 

 belt of white at the wales. The size of her rig and the sit of her sails 

 were remarkable; the balloon jibtopsail had that hard luster noticed 

 in the sails of Valkyrie II. and all of her sails were faultless to the 

 eye; the clubtopsail was very large and the mainsail was sitting well, 

 though just bent for the first time. Holding a little better breeze, she 

 ran up near the two American boats, surveyed them and then stood 

 away. After this rather exciting incident followed a long and dreary 

 drift, both yachts becalmed, but Defender drifting faster, being less 

 disturbed by the roll of the sea. About 1 o'clock, when still three 

 miles or so from the mark, Defender took in her balloon headsail and 

 set a small jibtopsail to meet a light breeze from the southward, 

 which headed both. They stood on the wind for the mark, Defender 

 fetching below it and having to tack to make up ground lost in the 

 drift, while Vigilant squeezed Iby with nothing to spare. They were 

 timed: Defender 2:01:00, Vigilant 2:06:17. The tin es prove nothing 

 in such weather. Defender was slow with her spinaker pole and sail, 

 having just tacked; Vigilant came for the mark In fine style, with 

 pole out to starboard and sail already aloft in stops, breaking it as 

 she turned to take the new course. 



The second leg was run very slowly, the only incident being a squall 

 in the distance and a little rain which fell on the following boat, but 

 seemed to miss the leader. Offender made a couple of minutes more 

 on Vigilant. The times at the sscond mark were: Defender 3:16:30, 

 Vigilant 3:24:00. 



The short shower had been followed by lightning and thunder in the 

 distance, and by the time that Defender was well started for the line 

 with sheets hardened in the sky was black with a coming squall that 

 promised to be of the regular August variety. When the wind struck 

 her the new boat stuck to her clubtopsail and carried it boldly and 

 ably, though her jib split from clew to stay. Her crew worked very 

 quickly and had the torn sail off her and a new one trimmed home in 

 hardly more than seven minutes. The squall proved to be compara- 

 tively a light one, nothing to compare with a similar disturbance ashore 

 two days later; but the wind blew very hard for a short time. Vigi- 

 lant first lowered her baby jibtop?ail and then her cluh topsail, even 

 then having all she wanted under lower canvas, but Defender carried 

 her clubtopsail. After Defender crossed the line the sky cleared and 

 the wind fell, Vigilant sent up a jibheader, but with no wind she was 

 left far astern, the official times being: 



Start. 1st Mark. 2d Mark. Finish. Elapsed'

Elapsed times between start and first mark: Defender 2:40:32, Vigi- 

 lant 2:45:37. Defender beat Vigilant 5m. 5s. 



Elapsed times, first and second marks: Defender 1:15:30, Vigilant

 Vigilant 1:04:23, Defender beat Vigilant 10m. 45s. 



Defender beat Vigilant, total elapsed time, 18m. 3s. 



After the race the Cup committee decided on calling a final trial on 

 the next day, and the two yachts were out at the line by 10:30 with 

 duptopsailB aloft, though there was a good breeze from S.E. and 

 quite a roll to the sea, the tugboats being thrown about in a very tell- 

 ing manner. The start was made at 11:10:00, both on the starboard 

 tack and Vigilant to windward, but Defender crossed with a lead of 

 10s., just 8s. after gun-fire, and at once began to work ahead. The 

 sea favored her as compared with Vigilant, and she did again what 

 she has so often done before, going away to windward and ahead with 

 no regard whatever for the fact that she was only a keel boat, while 

 Vigilant was a centerboard. The work of tee two was interesting, 

 with a good breeze and some life to the water in place of the dead 

 drifting of the day before, but it showed nothing new; Defender 

 rounded the weather mark at 12:47:25 and Vigilant at 12:53:02, a gain 

 of 5m. 27s., which might have been more had there been any necessity 

 for it. The most important point of the race was the run in under 

 spinakers and balloon jibtopsails, with a moderate breeze and follow- 

 ing sea, similar to but less severe conditions than those of the last 

 race between Vigilant and Valkyrie II. in 1893. At this work Vigilant 

 made a gain of 15s. in 10 miles, a very good performance considering 

 her shorter waterline and smaller sail area, together with her fuller 

 form. If it means anything at all it strengthens our supposition that 

 the keel contour cf Vigilant, reproduced in a modified and improved 

 form in Valkyrie ni., is superior off the wind in a breeze to that of 

 Valkyrie II., copied in Defender. At any rate, the down wind work of 

 the two boats in the races for the Cup is likely to be very interesting. 

 The times were:

Elapsed time of Defender from outer mark to finish, 1:14:53; Vigi- 

 lant beat Defender 15s. on the run. 



Defender deat Vigilant 5m. 12a. 



After this final race the selection of Defender to defend the Cup was 

 a matter of course, and after a meeting of the Cup committee the 

 following notice was posted in the evening at the club house: 



The America's Cup Committee have selected the yacht Defender as 

 the representative of the New York Y. C, as against Valkyrie HI. in 

 the contest for the America's Cup. A. Cass Garfield, See'y. 



Both of the Astor cups were awarded to Defender as the winner of 

 two out of the series of three races. Later on the same evening Lord 

 Dunraven met the committee at the club house and the details of the 

 races were arranged, though not yet made public. 



Lord Dunraven, accompanied by his two daughters and Mr. G. L. Wat- 

 son, arrived on the Teutonic late Wednesday evening, and after rest- 

 ing aboard all night the gentlemen were met by the City of Bridge- 

 port and taken down to the Horseshoe, where Valkyrie was awaiting 

 them. The yacht had left the Erie Basin on Monday morning, bending 

 a new mainsail and stopping in the Bay to adjust her compasses; then 

 lying in the Horseshoe all night. On Tuesday and Wednesday she 

 was under sail, on the latter day being outside the Hook looking for 

 the Teutonic. On Thursday and Friday she went out, being under 

 way while the trial races were being sailed, but mainly at a distance 

 from the American boats. On Saturday she towed up to the Erie 

 Basin, where a new lighted steel boom of similar construction was 

 shipped. The first|steel boom was galvanized, but the seconi is paint- d 

 a yellow color. 



Defender's new steel boom was shipped aboard the yacht late on 

 Friday night at the Erie Basin, being brought by steamer from Bris- 

 tol, and on Saturday she was under way testing it. It proved weak 

 at the gooseneck and was reinforced by a 3*.in. steel plate; on Sunday 

 she also received a new and larger clubtopsail and two new jibtop- 

 sail6 from Boston. On Sunday she was docked in the Erie Basin and 

 thoroughly prepared for the races, being floated on Monday morning 

 Valkyrie III. will be docked on Wednesday and floated on Friday' 

 Vigilant started on Wednesday for Port Jefferson to lay up. 



The Yellow Dog and the "White Boat. 



From the New York Sim. 

 There appears to be a disposition among some patriotic but injudi- 

 cious well-wishers of the white wonder from Bristol to look with 

 doubt upon the addition to her ration drawers of a certain or uncer- 

 tain yellow dog enlisted in Bhode Island and rated on her books as 

 Mascot. 



Everybody admits that the Defender needs some guardian genius to 

 protect her keel from mud and her upper parts from sprains and 



fractures. But a yellow dog? Would not a dog of another color 



Nonsense! We hail the omen. Does anybody expect a boat like that 

 to carry a great Dane or a St. Bernard? Does anybody look for a red, 

 green or purple dog? The color that was good enough for the long- 

 haired Achaians and the old Northmen, the plowmen of the sea, is 

 good enough for a dog, even for a dog good enough to be the luck 

 bringer of the Cup keeper. 



Besides, the yellow dog is thoroughly American. He is an emblem 

 worthy of a Yankee ship and a Yankee crew. He is often spoken of 

 contemptuously. No matter. This is the country where even the 

 yellow dog has the right to exist and make a living, subject to the dog 

 laws, The yellow dog, even in his most despised and tailless condition, 

 is the dog of democracy. He shifts for himself; he is on the watch 

 for opportunities; and he" is not stuck up. As a symbol and as an in- 

 vocation to Fortune on an American boat he can give tail and fore- 

 quarters to the proudest descendant of Llewellyn's hound or the dog 

 of Montargis. To hear some of these people talk, anybody would 

 think the Defender ought to have for her mascot a Siberian blood- 

 hound, that pampered pup of Asia, or a greyhound rampant on its 

 own pedigree, or a dachshund with no sea legs and mighty little land 

 ones. This is mere snobbery. 



To be sure a dog is not the best theoretical nautical luck bringer. If 

 to iEolus, god of the wiods, could be sacrificed a Populist full of wind 

 and whiskers, the old blower would cheerfully lend his bag to the 

 Regatta Committee and let them pick what winds or breezes, strong, 

 moderate or light, they pleased. He brooks no rival. He thirsts for 

 Peffer. And if to Neptune, shaker of the earth, could be thrown 

 overboard his only peer in earth shaking, the Hon. William Jennings 

 Bryan, of Nebraska, the celebrated performer upon the three-pronged 

 fork would resign the supervision of the seas during race days to- the 

 skipper of the Defender. But Peffer and Bryan have no sporting 

 blood. They will cling to life and the grasshopper preserves and 

 caterpillar reservations of the Kaw and Platte. They will do nothing 

 for yachting, and so the yellow dog must serve. 



Observe that mystery envelops this dog. He may be the intelligent 

 animal that used to have "Dr. Faustus" on his collar. In that case he 

 will be able to run the whole ship, although he might be troublesome 

 in a gale of wind. He may be Pythagoras, metempsychosed into a 

 sport, in which case he should be mighty useful in looking after the 

 legs sf the triangle. He may be Palinurus or some other old pilot 

 water dog, come from the Happy Isles to see how yachting is getting 

 on. He may be some dog-headed god of the Egyptians, full of wisdom. 

 Whoever he is, the black raven of Dunraven had better beware that 

 dog. There is more in him than meets the eye. 



If the white wonder beats, shall a patriotic country not honor this 

 yellow dog. this steersman and sailorman of Fortune ? Shall not a 

 public kyneion, a doggery of State, be erected to him, where he shall 

 be kept in luxury and honor for the rest of his days? And when old 

 age shall bring him to his end, shall not each Yankee yachtsman beg a 

 hair of him for memory, and the fell of him be hung up on some 

 sacred wall, vestments devoted to the strong god of the sea? 



The Drowning of R. W. Inman. 



The accident to the auxiliary yacht Adelaide, of which very little 

 was known when we went to press last week, proved to be quite as 

 serious as at first feared, resulting in the drowning of her owner, 

 Robert W. Inman, of New'York. The yacht, the sloop Adelaide, built 

 by Wood Bros, in Boston in 1886, of 46ft. waterline, was fitted last fall 

 with one of L. J. Wing & Co.'s naphtha engines; she was in command 

 of Capt. Andrew Jacobs, with Herbert L. Dorne as mate, a boy, 

 Lafayette Jaques, and a steward named Ruhlman. In the evening of 

 Aug. 2G she left the Columbia Y. C. house at 80th St., Hudson River, 

 for Bath Beach, in Gravesend Bay. With Mr. Inman were two women 

 and a man, the identity of the party being very much mixed by the 

 various accounts which they have given. All went well until off Bay 

 Ridge, about 7:30, the yacht then beating down on port tack with a 

 light S. W. wind. Tbe Iron Steamboat Co.'s steamer Perseus, a large 

 passenger steamer, was coming up from Coney Island in charge of 

 Capt. W. H. Hulse. The yacht's port light was burning and the night 

 was clear, but the steamer ran across her bows before stopping, the 

 yacht striking her forward of the starboard wheel, heeling badly and 

 throwing Mr. Inman and one of the women into the water, the man 

 jumping after the woman. The other woman was hauled aboard of 

 the Perseus by the mate of the yacht, Dorne. The yacht finally went 

 clear and got away without serious injury. The man and woman were 

 picked up, after being for some time in the water, by the schooner 

 John W. Houston, Capt. James Ducey, and Mr. Inman 's yachting cap 

 with the New York Y. C. device was also found. The steamer claims to 

 have lowered a boat, but she finally went on to New York carrying the 

 mate and the woman. Capt. Hulse made the following report of the 

 accident: 



Time of collision, near 7:30 P. M. 



Location of wind, south. 

 Mr. 8. S. Fairchild, Inspector: 



While coming up the Bay on Aug. 26, near Bay Ridge Buoy, I saw a 

 vessel on my starboard side coming from the eastward, showing her 

 port light. She being on the wind, I made calculation for her to go 

 under our stern, but on nearing us she kept hard off before approach- 

 ing too nigh. 



I blew her three sharp danger whistles and immediately saw there 

 was danger of collision, when I rang four bells to stop and reversed 

 the engine, which was promptly executed. We were backing when 

 the sloop yacht Adelaide struck us on the starboard side forward of 

 the forward gangway. I had a boat put overboard. She returned 

 from the yacht, reporting that they were all right, and we proceeded 

 on our way to New York. Yours respectfully, Capt. W. H. Hulse. 



All efforts to find Mr. Inman's body proved useless, but on Friday 

 it was found by two boys floating off South Beach, and on being taken 

 ashore was identified. The funeral took place on Saturday. Mr. In- 

 man, who was but 34 years old, was not a racing man, though he 

 bought the centerboard cutter Titania and rebuilt her into the 

 schooner Dagmar ; he and the two yachts were, however, well known 

 about all the Sound ports. 



From all appearances, and in spite of the story of the captain and 

 the other steamboat people that the small boat in a light breeze ran 

 into the big and swiftly moving steamer, the disaster was the result 

 of that reckless running on the part of these boats with which all 

 yachtsmen and boat sailors on the Bay are only too familiar. The 

 rules of the road are a'l very well on paper, but in actual practice 

 they offer little protection from these steamers to the small yacht 

 that is becalmed or under easy way in the channel between Staten 

 Island and Bay Ridge.
