This happens because the rate of evaporation is higher than the rate of condensation.

$$\ce{ H2O (l) <=>> H2O (g) }$$

This is also due to the fact that you have an open system: matter and energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. The evaporated water can evaporate from the glass and condense somewhere else.
