Columbia was chosen by the New York Yacht Club to beat the Shamrock, and proved herself full worthy of the confidence. LIpton's second challenge was Issued and accepted in 1900, when Shamrock II was ready for the fray. The yacht Constitution was selected by the New York Yacht plub as defender, but owing to an accident to her mast during practice It was necessary to again bring out Columbia.
