Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1901 — Columbia Wins The Cup Again. [ARTICLE]

Columbia Wins The Cup Again.

The yacht raoe sailed Friday was the last of the series, for Columbia having won again, that gave her three races, and ends the contest in her favor. This is the twelfth oonsecutive time the Amerioan boats have defeated British or Canadian ohallengers, sinoe the cup was won by the Amerioa just 50 years ago. The Friday’s raoe was the closest of the series, and at the end of the 30 miles the Shamrock wbeT actually 2 seconds ahead but the Columbia having a time allowance of 43 seconds, that gave her the viotory. It was a fair square viotory however, and Lipton has no kiok ooming.
