Defender sailed alone in the final race to claim three wins and the cup, while Dunraven cites interference from excursion steamers as the reason for withdrawing. Also noted are industry complaints about newspaper circulation claims and a Rhode Island Governor story, ending with a remark on life insurance rates for missionaries.
