Although Kept a Secret by the New York
' Yacht Club. It Is Olsen Out Freely by
u» muss vacuums—raises Ilada s:

Loxnoii, Sept. lit—The letter written
by Lord Dunrnven under date of Sept. 18
to the America’s cup committee of the
New York Yacht club in reply to a~lottor
from Mr. A. Case Canflcld, dated Sept. 12,
has been cnbled by his lordship to the
guys] Yacht squadron for their considere-
on. .
Tho substance of Mr. Canfleld's letter
was partly indicated by the statement
posted at the New York Yucht club on
Thursday and signed by Commodore
Smith as chairman and Mr. Oaniicld as
secretary of the cup committee. This was
to the effect that two members of the
committee had orally dismissed with Lord
Dunrnven the , propositions contained in
his letter of Sept. 11 on Wednesday oven-
ing; that they regretted not having been
able to reply to his letter on Thursday
morning before the race, but that as the
reply would have been the some as thnt
conveyed orally the night before they did
not consider the fact important thut no
answer had been ninde. Lord Dunravcn’s
letter of Sept. ll, it was sold. was deliv-
cred at the New York Yacht club at l a.
m. of Thursday and was not received by
them until 8 a. m. on board the commit-
tee boat.
Lord Dnnrnvcn'e letter, dated Sept. ill.
to the cup committee is as follows:
“GENTLESIEli—I have the honor to ac-
knowledge your letter of the 123th lost.
You any that my letter of Wednesday night
to Mr. Cnnlleld was not delivered at the
New York Yacht club until 1 a. m. on
Thursday and was not in your hands un—
til 8 a. in. There must, I think, be some
mistake. I received Mr. Caniiold's letter
at 10:20 p. m. on Wednesday. My reply
was delivered by my servant at the New
York Yacht club at 12:i5 a. on. (Thurs-
day) by the club clock. The steward or
clerk in charge was called by telephone at
12:30 a. in. and requested to find out if
Mr. Canflold was at tho Knickerbocker
club, and, if so. to deliver the letter at once.
The reply wns that they would endeavor
to find Mr. Caniicid; that he had but a
short time before left the Knickerbocker
club, and that he had left word he would
call at 7 a. m. to see if there were any
messages for him. .
A Question of Time. .
”The request that Mr. Caniloid should
not open my letter of the 10th inst. until
the (Defender) protest was decided was
unnecessary, as the cup committee were
not hearing the protest. But whether mine
of Wednesday night was delivered at 12:15
a. m. or 1 a. m., and whether it was in
the hands of the committee at 7 n. m. or S
a. m., and whether my letter of the ilitli
inst. was rend at 12:30 p. m. or 3:30 p. m.,
appears to mo to be a matter of minor im-
portance. .
”What is of importance—to ms, at any
rate—is the totally unjustifiable opinion
implied in your letter of the 12th inst. that
in coming to the decision conveyed to you
by my letter of the 10th inst. I vvent book
on the agreement signed by President
Smith (of the cup committee) nnd myself.
You say, ‘Wo can only regret that the con-
ditions you named therein as absolutely
accessory should not have been so present-
od when the agreement to the terms was
formulated.’ Permit me to observe that I
named no puriiculnr conditions its indis~
pensnblo, us you will pi-rcoivo on referring
to tho letter.
"I hold Unit in any mulch n foir fluid
and no favor is n condition precedent to
any agreement as to terms, and. failing
that; nnypnrty has n porfoot right iowiih-
draw nbsoiulcly or conditionnily. Tho or-
ticlos of tho agreement cannot and are not
intended to lay down fixed rules to moot
every imaginable contingency. (Jcrtnln
contingencies have arisen, us you are
nwnrc, confining to myself the subject of
my letter on overcrowding. As for book
us (let. i I wrote concerning the difficulty
of insuring n clour course, but Idid not
insist upon my views, lmonuso I thought
the persons responsible should be free to
take tho steps that they thought best in
the mutter.
"in view of their fullure In this respect
it might have been better if, in my letter
of the 10th inst, I had absolutely with-
drawn. But my desire to sell off the moon
was great, and I withdrew conditionally
and suggested the steps which I thought
would remove the diilioulty. These steps
were not taken, and I held to my deter-
mination to sail no more, and in so acting
I emphatically deny that I Went back in
any way on the agreement as to terms.
The Committee's Proposals.
“I did not know whether Mr. Onnilold
and Mr. Buck officially ropresontod the
committee when they come to see me at
the WnIdorf. l judged by their conversa-
tion that they did not, and I understood
from that thut the committee had not
some to n definite conclusion upon the let-
ter. 1 now ci'cludo from your communi»
cation that they Worn olllclolly represent-
ing the committee. in that case the pro-
posal mode by the committee was that I
should withdraw from the determination
expressed in my letter of the 10th lnst..
and that I should sail the third, and possi-
bly the final, race on condition that suill-
ciont room was secured at the start, and
that, in any further races, my suggestion
that the dates for the races and the time
of starting should not be made public
should be curried out.
“That proposal did not commend itself
to me. Noono denied the overcrowding of
the course. Jim. in any clue either my
complaint was, in the opinion of the com-
mitteo, unjustifiable, in which carol could
not 'have agreed wnh them and should
have withdrawn, being fully convinced of
the necessity and prepared to take the
full responsibility for doing so. or it was
justifiable, In which latter case the com-
mittee, i think, was bound to give redress
before the next race was sailed.
“I aofnr withdraw my letter of the 10th
lost. as to say that I would sell the third
race if the committee would undertake to
declare the rose void if, in their jud out.
either vessel was interfered with y the
. more, the committee putting anybody
hey liked aboard the yachts. I was will-
ing to leave the matter in their hands,
stipulating only that they put an experi-
enced and practical yachtsman on Valky-

raven, who is at present in the city, the
guest of F. W. Vanderbilt. still refuses to
disoussyaohting matters. When a report
or called at Rough Point, the summer
residence of Mr. Vanderbilt, Lord Dun-
.ravenwwas found seated entire please,» .-
looking out to son. He thought the con-
tents of his last letter to the cup commit-
tee would be made public in due time.
He refused to confirm or deny a rumor
that has been widely circulated in the city
to the effect that he was willing to sail a
series of races oi! Newport, providing the
Defender syndicate would agree to cell
the Sandy Hook races off. Mr. W. K.
Vanderbilt denies the report that he will
purchase the lseiin-Morgan share of the
Defender.
THE SARATOGA' SITUATION.
New York Republicans (lather For Their
State Convention.
SARA'I'OGA, Sept. ili.—lndlcntions today
are that the Republican state convention
will rcnoniinate the old ticket, with J udgo
C. E. Martin as candidate for the court of
appeals. There is little likelihood of any
deviation from thislcourse.
It seems to be generally conceded that
the permanent chairman will be Senator
Loxow, with Congressman James S. Shor-
mun of Utica as temporary chairman. "
While it is thought that the efforts to
enlarge the state committee will fail in
the convention, the situation on the excise
question is still obscure. There is no‘gnin-
saying the fact that the excise matter
hangs nendurk cloud over the convention,
and n cloud, too, that is charged with
lightning. It is certain that neither Mr.
Plutt nor the great majority of the New
York and Brooklyn dclcgntcs, when they
came here, had a just conception of the
intensity. of the feeling book in the state
against the convention committing itself
to anything like a local option which
would involve the legitimate traffic in
liquors on Sunday.
A conference was held late last night
with almost half the delegates present.
The leaders of the party determined that
they would avoid the question of excise
altogether, and not make a recommenda-
tion in the shape of a resolution unless
forced to do so by the introduction of such
resolutions. This is supposed to mean that
the platform will not mention excise in
any form.
CLUBS WERE DRY.
New York's Swell Bars Were Closed u 3
Rule on Sunday.
New York, Supt. iii—For the first
time in the history of New York is drink
could not be bud ut the bar of most of the
principui clubs of this city Sunday. The
notion of President limsovclt and tho po-
lice commissioners in deciding to stop, as
for as they were table, the sole of intoxi-
cating drinks in any of the clubs in viola-
tion of the low met with general success,
as most of them, through their board of
governors. instructed the employees not to
open the bore yesterday.
There wui'u ninny clubs thnt did not fol-
low this osmnplc, but in those cases oa-
trnordlnnry steps were taken to guard
ugnlnst the admission of nny persons not
members, and the visiting list was sus-
mittod. ’I‘bo hittcr course was adopted at
tho lnrgc (icrmnn clubs, where formerly
the wives and fumilics of members were
wont to nsscmbio on Sundays and enjoy
themselves in the way that only Germans
know how.
The ndmlsslou of visitors wnu prohibit-
ed, null us a rule those clubs, including
the Arlen and tho Lcidcrkrnnz, were put—
ronizcd by members only. Tho bars were
upon, but there was no method of hating
the matter, no strnngcrs were not allowed
to enter. The clerk at tho Arlen club
would not ndinit that tho bur was running.
Ho Would not deny it, however.
