New Toss, Sept. unit was not com sidered likely at the New York Yacht club this morning that a decision in re- gardto the protest roads by Defeader's representatives in regard to y 'r race would be made before late today. The committee having the matter of protest in hand is the regatta committee, composed of Chester Griswold, S. Nichol~ son Kane and Irving Grinnell. It was an- nounced late last night at the New York Yacht club that the committee would not even consider the matter last night, but that today the committee would have a meeting and take testimony regarding the alleged foul, and that decision Would probably be given late today. Former Commodore James D. Smith said when seen: “The committee did not have a regular meeting on the tug coming to this city. They merely discussed 'the matter and decided that testimony should be taken tdday. I do not care to talk about the matter myself. as I shall be called to give testimony concerning it." Other members of the yacht club were seen, but they would not talk freely of the race. ' W. H. Sands said, "There is no doubt that there was a foul, but Valkyrlo’s lia- bility depends upon whether Defender was in place at the time." S. Morrison said, “The race speaksfor itself, and I don't care to go into the tie tails of it." , E. E. Chase. chairman of the house committee of the club, said: ”It is some- body's race. If Defender was fouled, it is hers. If not, then the race will go to Valkyrie." This view of the matter was taken by most of the members of the club. The clubhouse was throngcd with yachting men last night, but none of them cared to anticipate the decision of the committee. Messrs. Kano. Grinncll and Cnnflcld, the latter being the secretary of the cup committee, had a late dinner together at the Brunswick hotel last night. They had a long discussion concerning the incident of yesterday's race and decided on the de- tails of the protest that would be made at the meeting today. What the Captains Ely. Mr. Iselin said that he had nothing to say except that “the matter is in the hands of the regatta committee. which will decide as to our protest. " hir. Isclin complained very bitterly about the steam- ship Yorktown. which, he said. was right in the yachts' way and gave them no chance to maneuver. In speaking to a reporter regarding the mishap, Natt Horroshoif. Defondcr's de— signer, paid: “You saw how it happened. It was a pity because Defender was in excellent trim otherwise.

" ()nptniu Hall said that the excursion steamers had not troubled him during the race. He inudo an exception of the York- town, bowovcr. Captain Sycamore was naturally jubi- lant at having won the race. He did not know that licfcndcr bnd protested until told of the fact by the reporter, who went alongside of Valkyrie as soon as she on- shared. When asked how close the com- mittee boat was when the foul occurred, he said: “We were right on top of her. sir. and we had to go on or sinnsh into her. I don't see what grounds they had for a protest. Our hooking on to their buokstny was an accident—of course it was—and I’m sorry it happened.” Captain Cmnficld said that Valkyrie was not to blame for the foul. “When Defender come up undcr loo, she got he calmed," snld ho, “and she rightod up to an even keel so that her soils touched ours aloft. Our main boom catching bcr bacltv stay was purely on accident. is could not have been avoided.” “Supposing the protest ls sustained and the committee nwnrds tho race to Defend- cr—whnt will be done then?" Captain Craniiold was naked. "Lord Dunrnvcn will probably go back to England and race no more.” “What if it is not nilowcdi“ “Oh, tlint’li be all rightl" flew the Race Was lalled. Lord Dunrnvcn could not be found in the city last night. and it was said that he had not some to New York. Several English yachtsmon who refused to allow their names to be made public said that it was their opinion that Lord Duurovon would not accept the race in any event because he wanted Valkyrie to win strict. ly on her merits.

It was then that the thousands of watchers on the surrounding boats noticed how dangerously close to each other the racers were. And just at that moment. too. a snap and a reading sound was heard, and it was seen that Doicndcr’s jibtopsaii was flying loose in the wind.

They saw her topmost bend and her topsail swing ’ovcr as though it wuuld break away, and a groan went up as though the brave boat which had won so noble a victory a day or two previous was wholly dcbnrrcd from even an effort to secure a second. Lightning action was necessary to save the topth from breaking away corn< plotoly, for it was already sprung from its fastenings, and Captain Homwiib n mne- tcr stroke. taking his boat down to ice. ward, soon maneuvered her into a safe position and gave chase. Valkyrie, which had crossed the line first, had gained a good load by Ilofcnder’s disaster and had proboblyalittlo more than half a mile advantage at thocnd of the first log in the triangular course over which they sailed. Her gain was something less than four minutes in that bent to windward. From that on. hovvchr, Defender, while not porceptibly closing the gap between them. lessened the time, and they crossed the line not much more than two minutes apart. Valkyrie. according to corrected time. however, won from the cup defender by just 47 seconds. .

It had been the generally expressed wish that Dnnraven should win one race of the series, and some 'kindly disposed people even extended their good wishes to the hope that he might get two, so that, as they explained, he would be influenced in coming again for another try for the cup. The good wish has come to pass unless the cup committee entertains Defender’s pro test and declares against the Englishman.

ENGLTSHSEQMMENT. The londou Papers Take a Liberal View of ‘ the Result. Lennon, Sept. ll.—-The morning pn- pcrs very generally co‘hunont upon the Valkyrie-Defender contest, and expres- sions of regret at the fouling of Defender are common to nearly all of them. The Graphic says: "As sportsmen we wish that Valkyric’s victory had been gained without the unfortunate accident at the start. It is a possibility approach- ing probability that, however slight was the damage that Defender sustained, it was sufficient to affect the result.” The Daily Telegraph‘s comment is: "Whether the fault of the collision lay with the English or the American vessel, one thing at least sccms certain—that Dc< fender was the chief sufferer. We do not envy the coininittcc their task of deciding the anxiously contravened issue. But one thing we are fortunately sure of— whlchcvcr tho verdict is against. the re- spective owners are sufliclent sportsmen to do what the honor of their country de~ monds. Neither side has the least desire to win otherwise than on merits. ” A writer in The Daily News says: “The distance between the yachts at the finish was all too little to enable us to treat the regrettable collision ty which Defender sudcrcd us a thing of no consequence.” The Chronicle says of the race: “We cannot consider it a clear win. and it will always be open to tho Americans to say that it was not a fair win. and we are sure that Lord Dunrnvon would rather soil it over again than to have that helluv- ed by the western world. Lino for line, despite thcnccidcnt, Defender showud her- self to be the foster lxmt.” The Times, in its comments on the race, says: ”Evorybody will deeply regret the nocidont. whatever the technicalities of tho ninitor. The accounts seem to show that llcfcndcr sailed in u more or loss crippled condition. The victory, thoro- forc. if uwurdod. will not be one upon which We can look with satisfaction. if no mishap had ovcurrod, the situation would have boon ulnlost ideal from the standpoint of all who low sport.
