, Lord Dunraven had said the night be-
ers—and said it most emphatically—~that

yvions races his boat had been greatly in—
Metalwith, and as everything depended

m be adhered to that decision so closely
that Valkyrie merely crossed the starting
line and then retired from the contest.
Defender. who was well in advance when
> the handicap gun was fired, continued on
her journey, and went over the course
well within the time limit.
By her three straight victories Defender
towns the historic cup for America.
The race scheduled for Thursday prom-

”ltlous had been made, and those upon
when her sailing qualities depend most
largely were prepared to expend every
ounce of muscle and skill to bring her
, over the line a victor. '
A Lord Dunrnven expressed himself as ap-
parently satisfied with the decision rec»
dered bythc cup committee on the fouling
of Defender by his boat, and the matter
had seemingly been mttled so amicably
it was 0 question in the minds of the
public if Tuesday's race would
be recalled.
. Dinar-son's Explanation.
Even today it is not quite clear why
, Dun ven did not sell over the course and
do): best, like a true sportsman. In one
interview he said:
“I am quite satisfied that I cannot off

The fact is that when a contest between the
representatives of two yacht clubs excites so
much popular interest and attracts such
crowds of people. if the races are sailed in the
immediate neighborhmd of a great city and
the dates of the races and times of starting
are known m1 advorfistxl, it is impossible to

danger and clear enough to assure the proba-

ed meording to the relative merits of the com-
peting vessels. '
I have the honor to remain your obedient
servant. Dusnavns.
The America's Cup Committee.
mm pommittee's Report.
NQWM'I cup committee was in
sessiOn for several hours. Est-Commodore
Jain“ mith, chairman of the Ameri-
ca’lcup, ‘l . was soon just before
his conirhlttee went into session, and in
rcplyto 0 question as to what he thought
of Dubroven's action in refusing to
sail ’l'hnrliday's race he replied that since
there had been several mismalerstamlings
between Lord Dunraven and himself he
did not care to express an opinion on that
subject.
Mr. Smith expressed it as his private
opinion, however, that if Lord Dunraven
believed the Valkyrie was faster than De—
fender Mr. Iselin would be willing to race
in any part of the country for from 1 cent
to $5,000.
Commodore Smith said:
“There is no condition of the agreement
not been strictly lived up to by the regatc
to committee of the New York Yacht
club. .
"’l'be'endeavor to interpose new condi-
tions ‘a few hours before the appointed
race by Lord Dunraven should have hard-
ly been attempted and certainly not in
sisted upon to the extent of imposing new
terms which. if not acceded to, might re-
sult in withdrawing from the race if he so
decided after reaching and going over the
starting line.
“There was no course left but to start
the yachts by the committee, nor could
any course be taken but to have the De-
fender saii over the course. This under
the rules made her the winner. Mr. Ise—
iiu offered to sail the race of Sept. id over
again, thus making it no race, which Lord
Dunravcn declined to do.
. “I can enter into no discussion of the
reasons actuating Lord Duumveu in de-
clining to go on with the race. He is bets
tcr judge than I as to the course he should
pursue, and if he is satisfied I certainly
must be. "
Mr. Smith said that the cup committee,
after the result of the race had been an-
nounced, notified Mr. Iselin that the Do
fender had successfully defended the
America’s cup, and the duty of the com-
mittee was therefore at an end so far as
the present series of races was concemed.
Mr. Isella Off‘cml to Recall the Race.
In an interview with Mr. Iselin, head
of the Defender syndicate. ho was asked:
"Do you know why Lord Dunraven do-
clined to race against the Defender?"
“All I know," said Mr. Inelin, “is
what I have read in an evening paper,
which prints an interview with Mr. Glen-
nie. In this it is stated that Lord Dimm-
ven wanted the committee to guarantee
him a clear road for the race. Further
than that i don’t idiow anything about
the matter. I don't care to discuss the
matter, and all I can sayis that I am very
much surprised that Lord Dunrnven did
not race. "
In nespunse to a query regarding inter-
ference by the fleet in yesterday's race Mr.
Iselin said that the fleet didnnot interfere
atoll and final; the Defender had a clear
course. lie thought that tho'ileot Would
undoubtedly have kept away from the
Valkyrie idso.
Asked if he had communicated with
Lord Dunraven since the regatta commit-
tee decided that the Defender was entitled
to the second race, Mr. Iselin said:
“Uh. yes, indeed. After I had learned
that the Defender was allowed the pro.
test and that we had won the second race,
I wrote a letter to Lord Dunravon. I told
him in this letter that l was willing that
the flute should be declared off—l mean
the second race—and flint it should be
milled over again. Lord Dunravcnscut
me a written reply. declining to accept
my offer, and for that reason when we
started out ’l‘bursday we went In to soil
the third of who iierics of the cup races.”
Mr. Isclin said that be had no comment
to make on Lord Dunnwcn's action in
the nnitter.
In regard to future plans Mr. Isclin
said that he find none for the present and
said that the Defender would start for
New Rochelle this_inornlng at if) o’clock.
When Valkyrie flocked Ollie
At the time that the yachts cast off their
lines from their respective tugs there was
every indication that there would be a
good breeze up to the time that they get
down to the Sandy Ilmik lightship. Haw-
sers were cast off about at the Scotland
llghtshlp point, but when the um got
down to the outer lightsbip the wind had
fallen to about four or five miles an hour
and had shifted from wuthmuthwut to
west by north. Under that condition of
breeze the committee saw that they could
send the yachts away before the wind out
to sea without any danmr of touching
land, and they did so.
if the committee had undertaken to
send the beats towindward on the first iii
miles of the course, they would have had
toshift tho starting line to a point well
down on the Long island coast, and that
they decch inadvisable.
While the committee was signaling, the
Valkyrie was selling around without a
clubtcpsall, as though to notify the poo
pie in charge of the race that she was not
satisfied with the way in which the us
cursion boats had congregated hack of the
starting mark. Valkyrie continued to

With the finest chance for a clear and,
even start that over was given for on
America’s cup race, the committee fired
the preparatory gull at 11:10. Valkyrie
had gone to the southward of the light
ship, which was to] the southward of the
position that the committee bout luul fak-
en. Defender was then to the westward of
the line, and she worked up through tht
line and among the excursion boats just
as if she had no fear of them or anything
else.
Defender Sails Over the Course Alone.
Defender had up her ciubtopsaii. slay-
sail and jib and was ready for a race. A!
ilzlfi she dropped her spinnaker pole in
position on the sfurbmzrd side and gave
test. Valkyrie had in the meantime shak-
en out a stuysnll under her jib, and that
movement inspired the thought that of
lost she was getting ready to light her op-
poncnt.
flat the thought was wrong. Valkyrie
had no such intention, on it was after-
ward proved. At llzlii Defender eased off
her sheets to the full and headed down,
to the line, a beautiful picture, and shook
out her spinnaker and balloon jibtopsail
as she crossed the starting point.
Valkyrie come up from the southward
and. rounded the lightship in a careless
sort of fashion, crossing the line within
one second of handicap time, the gun pro-
claiming the end of the latter period be-
ing fired at 11:82, two minutes after the
starting signal.
As soon as Valkyrie crossed she came
up into the wind, and everybody knew
that she had quit. Defender went on with
everything drawing in the light breeze of
about five miles an hour overasmooih
son. just the sort of conditions that should
suit Valkyrie. Defender stood on with her
spinnaker drawing until 11:45, when the
wind hauled to the southward. and she
was obliged to haul in her spinnaker. She
also downed her staysuil and jib, allowing
the balloon jibtopsail to do all the Work
forward. .
The excursionists followed her with on.
lhusiasm and kept on cheering her from
that time until she passed the finish line.
She rounded the outer mark at 1:26:58,
and as she did so tiwrc was a shrieking
from steam whistles and a noise from can.
non and a waving of bandkerehicfs and a
general hurrah as great as though she find
bad a good, game emupetitor.
All during the brat home the wind in-
creased in powm, and as the champion lay
over, smuetimes with Ice scuppcrs under,
she presented a sight that made the on-
lookers cheer and cheer again and again.
its she was apprOaching the finish Mr.
Iselin yelled through a megaphone to the
committee bout, “Do you wish me to cross
the line?" He received no answer, and be
repeated the inquiry. Again no answer,
so Defender Wont over at 4:01:36. She
was greeted with another most enthusias-
tic yell and bowl and gun reports as she
did so. ,
The time as taken by the committee
represented that she went over the course
in 4 hours if minutes 1:! sm-onds. With
the :39 seconds' time allowance. lllll‘f‘ilr'
rented time was ,1 hours iii minutes 43

SKY SCRAPER ON FIRE.
The World Building In New York Dan-
aged by a Blue In the Basement.
NEW YORK, Sept. ISL—A fire burned for
an hour in the lmsoiuent of the tall World
building last night. The blaze started in
the rooms where the paper stock is stored
and was caused by the worn insulation. of
an electric wire.
In a very few minutes thobuildlng was
filled with a dense smoke, which surged
up through the oirshoft aml also through
the shaft of the tubular elemtor. There
were upward of 2.30 persons on the upper
flows of the building at the time, and
many of these were afraid to venture
down by way of the elevators.
Many of the employees of tho compos-
ing and editorial rooms descended by way
of a freight elevator in the rear. while
some some down by means of scaling lud-
dcrs, which Were hurried up stairs by the
firemen.
G. E. Egglcston, an editorial writer,
was on the stairs when the smoke over:
took him. He was overcome by the smoke
and was helped to the street by the fire-
men.
The fire spread in the basement to the
mailing room, and from there it spread to
the press rooms. The fire was under con-
trol at 11:10. leaving the basement of the
building flooded with water.
The damage will be chiefly in the paper
st , and much of it was caused by the
basement. By the flooding of the water
tank on the top floor some damage was
also done on the eighth, ninth and tenth
floors.
Offers of assistance in the way of paper,
temporary pressroom, ete., Were sent to
The World by several of the nevvspapcrs
at once. The damage to the paper stock
and machinery is placed at about 83, 000.
