Ran Away From the Colonia in Beat- iug to! Windward. Accompanied by,,thé,Colonia, which is to act as her pacemaker in her tuning-up trials, the Defender was at work yesterday and clearly and easily outsailed her rival. Soon after noon the tio craft left Bristol, R. L, and at HogIsland shoal, off the en- trance to the haror,‘laid their cours: for Gould Island, a distance of seven or eight miles. eae On the run down the new boat showed her superiority to the, Colonia in a marked manner, arriving .at the end of the leg more than a mile¥ahead. Off Gould Island she waited for her rival to catch up, and the two then came about, and with free sheets started to run back to Hog Island. On this leg she did Hot show to so great ad- vantage as before, though far outstripping the Colonia, and had a lead at the finish only about half as great as on the wind- ward work, The course was then covered for the second time with similar results. the Defender reaching the outer mark at Gould Island about the same distance ahead as on the first trial, and again running back before the wind showed her compet- itor a clean pair of heels, though not dis- tancing her by so long a lead. Although the contest was practically in the nature of a friendly race between the two craft, its purpose was really only to display the sailing qualities of the De- fender as compared with those of the Colonta, a craft whose abilities are, of course, well known, for guidance in tuning up the Defender for her future work. ‘The run wgs not a long one, yet it served {ts purpose and the result was entirely sat- isfactory. The new boat not only proved herself superior to the Colonia in a marked degree, but her own work, independent of her reiations to her rival, was very pleas- Ing to all those on board. Working to windwerd she repeated her performance of Saturday, sailing well up Into the teeth of the breeze, and stand- ing up well, though, of course, yielding somewhat to the flercer puffs, as she en- countered them. She sailed with remarka- ble smoothness, cutting the water cleanly and making scaccely any disturbance as she breasted the waves. She heeled over a Uttle several times, but her owners ex- pressed themselves as entirely satisfied with her performance. THE TRAPSHOOTERS’ First Meet on the Grounds of the Baltimore Shooting Association. The first shoot of the District of Colum- bla and Maryland Trapshooters’ League was held at Baltimore Saturday. The Cap- ital City Gun Club numbers about seventy members, and it was thought that a team of six could be mustered at any time and under any conditions. However, the cap- tain, Mr. J. H. Gulick, although deeply chagrined at the absence of the looked-for members on his arrival at the grounds, presented the matter to the president of the league, and this official immediately called a meeting of the executive committee ta take action on the matter. After a dis- cussion of the same the committee decided to permit the four members of the team present—Messrs. Wagner, Arnold, Pruitt and Gulick—to shoot their scores in the regular contest, and authorized Mr. Gulick to name three members from the Capital City Club, two of ‘whom should be select- ed at some future time, to shoot the re- maining scores, on grounds other than their own. This was very fair decision, and was appreciated by the Washington contingent. The t*am: shoot resulted in a tle between the Baltimore Shooting Asso- elation Club and the Standard Club, both of Baltimore. However, the percentage made by the four Washington shooters was higher than that 6f the clubs tleing. Messrs. Mattingly, McLeod and McKel- den have been named by Mr. Gulick, two of whom will shoot the unfinished scores, and the home club:has a chance of winning the first contest. The next conte¥t will be held on the grounds of the Capital City Gun Club of this city, at the foat of 22d street, on or about the 20th of:July. The Baltimore ‘Shooting Association ts composed of entprprising business men, and thelr ‘club. grounds are not surpassed in this country. The Washington wisitors speak very highly of the entertainment ac- corded them by the Baltimore boys. LE Keystone targets and unknown traps were used. Following are the scores: ent I, ten targets—Wagner and Haw- jrown, Hartner, Arnold and Gent, 8; —White,15; Gulick, wn, Hawkins and 13; Malone and Bond, se, 11; Arnold and Gent, 10, , twenty targets—Gulick and Ar- Brown, Hawkins, White arid Thomas, 18; Pruitt and Malone, 17.

REGATTA AT SARATOGA. 15; Bond, o ‘The List of Eniries the Largest in Yeurs. This week the English Henley, next week the Saratoga Henley, All the arrangements are completed for the holding of the twenty-third annual re- gatta cf the National Association of Ama- teur Oarsmen at Saratoga Lake, July 17 and 18. The Hst of entries is the largest in years, and the regatta promises to bring together the amateur cracks of the coun- try.

The race course 1s beautifully located about four miles from Seratoga, and Is surrounded by high bluffs, which form a natural grand stand for an uninterrupted view of the course. The lake Itself ts about nine miles long, and three miles across at its widest part. The course is situated at the extreme northern end, and is well sheltered from winds. It is one and one-half miles long, ard all races being rowed three miles, with a turn, so that spectators may see both start and finish, and it is not necessary to use steambuats, which might interfere with the races. The program for the regatta is: Inter- mediate and senior: double scull race; se- nior pair oared; intermediate and single sculls, senior; intermediate and senlor four- oared shells; Intermediate and senior eight- oared shells. The executive board of the association will meet In the town hall here on the evening of July 15, and will have before them several amateurs whose standing in the association is a matter of doubt, or against whom complaints have been made. The board consists of Henry W. Garfield of Albany, president; Charles Catlin of Chicago, vice president; Harvey J. Hinch- man of Philadelphia, treasurer; Fred R. Fortmyer of Newark, N. J., secretary; Wal- ter Stimson of Cambridge, Mass.; James le of Boston, Theodore Van Raven of New York, J. B. Moore of New York, R. H. Pelton of Brooklyn, Conrad Behr- ens of Philadelphia, W. C. Juppe of De- troit and O. P. Schmidt of Washington. The same evening the regatta committee will meet, and participants in the next day’s events will draw for positions.

From the latter city they came back by train. The trip was in every way a great success, and so arranged as to take the party over good roads and in the midst of most attractive scenery. It was so pleasant that other érips of the sort are being arranged for the near future. A HARD FOUGHT GAME. The Pension Office Team Won by Buaching ‘Their Hits. ‘The two teams that played in the Depart- mental League series Saturday at National Park were rather patched up and crippled. They were the Army and Navy and Pen- sion Office nines, and although the former started off like winners the latter bunched their hits and won by a score of 10 to 8. The game was a hard-fought one and in- teresting throughout. Royce played a good short stop for the Pensioners and led his side at the bat. Drummond, Andre and Eliason led the Soldiers and Sailors at the bat, each with three hits. Wright was hit harder than the two pitchers on the Army and Navy team, but he managed to keep the hits scattered after the first two in- nings, while the Pensioners bunched theirs in one inning agd won the game. Senators to Have a Rest. After today’s game the Senators do not play again until Saturday, when they play the Reds in Cincinnati. The schedule had ,them for a game with the Reds Wednes- day, but this game was played off on the last visit of the Senators to Cincinnati, when they lost four straight. All of the Senators will have four days of rest in Cincinnati, as they leave for there tomor- row morning. Vigilant Altered. The Vigilant was launched Saturday at Elizabeth, N. J., after being ashore two weeks for alteraticns. Thirty-five tons of lead were riveted to her keel In long bars. More than this was taken out of her hold. She draws now fourteen feet eight inches. The bow has been changed to cutter shape to the keel. Will Match Alix for $5,000.

Nearly 1,200 persons went to Capitol Park Saturday to witness the game between the Shamrocks and the Blakes, and were re- paid by seeing one of the finest ama- teur games ever seen in this city, the Blakes leading to the seventh inning, when the Shamrocks tied them and won out in the eighth by 5 to 4. The feature of the game was the battery work of Hughes and Norcom of the Shamrocks. Norcom struck out twelve of the Blakes. This is the Sham- rocks’ sixteenth victory out of eighteen games played.
