The Earl Wanted the Committee to De. clare Void Any Race In Which the Boats Were Inter-feted With. Dismantling the Valkyrie. NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-—-Dunraven has had enough. Valkyrie will race no more In American waters. She will be taken back to England just as soon as she can be prepared for an ocean voyage. The challenger was towed to the Erie basin today, followed by the City of Bridgeport, with Mr. Glennie aboard. The Valkyrie’s crew began immediately to prepare her for her trip home. By 10 o’clock they had her topmast down and were preparing to fix the jury rig under which she crossed. Lord Dun- raven had not gone down from New York. Mr. Glennie was seen and asked: “Is there any possibility of the Valky- rie sailing in any more races here?” "No,’.’ he replied. “We are going back to England just as soon as we get the jury 'rig up. We will race no more in Ameri- can waters.” The America’s cup stays in America, but what had promised to be the most in- teresting and exciting series of races ever sailed for it has turned out to have been ' the most unsatisfactory. The. one thing proved, even to the most loyal British sympathizer, is that Defender is the bet‘ ter boat, and that, after all, was what the races were sailed to show. - But the mess of complications arising from the 1895 international contest is most earnestly deplored by everybody who gs. has the slightest " ' ’ ‘ interest in yacht- ' ing. Only one race of the three was a 3 clean cut, satis- factory match— ’ the first Una Then JAMES D. SMITH. came Valkyrie’s fouling of Defender, Mr. Iselin’s protest and yesterday’s fiasco to Cap the climax. The withdrawal of Lord Dunraven’s yacht was discussed more freely today perhaps than any other topic. As announced yesterday, Mr. Glennie explained the matter from his standpoint on the score that the cup committee had been notified by letter that unless an ab- solutely unobstructed course during the entire race could be guaranteed the yacht would not be started. 'The All Important Letter. However, as to the letter referred to, which Mr. Glennie said had been deliver- - ed before the protest had been decided, the committee had this to say in its official . ' bulletin, posted in the New York Yacht club house: ‘ NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The America’s cup committee received at 8 a. . m. today the following letter from Earl of Dunraven: “439 FIFTH AVENUE, Sept. 11, 11:30 P. M. “DEAR Mn. CAnmELn—I have just received your letter. I regret that being engaged at the time you and Mr. Busk were kind enough to call at the Waldorf I could not then give a decided answer to the propositions made in our short conversation. - ' “I have since considered the matter care- fully. Your proposal to postpone the start un- til we have sufficient room meets only one of more serious difficulties mentioned in my let- ter of the 10th, and if no solution can be found to those difficulties I must adhere to my deci- sion as expressed in that letter. “I am fully convinced that the committee have done and would do tomorrow all in their power to' keep a clear course, but under ex- isting circumstances they are powerless. As I told you, I would sail if the committee would take it upon themselves todeclare the race to- morrow void if in their judgment either ves- sel were interfered with by steamers or tug- boats. I regret that you .were unable to agree to that. I regret also that the race fixed for tomorrow could not be postponed in order to give the committee ample time to consider my former letter, and I am sorry that my letter was not delivered to you sooner. “As I explained to you, I was under the im- pression that the cup committee heard the protest, and pending a decision I did not think it right to place the letter in their hands. . “When I learned this morning that the cup committee had nothing to do with the protest, I requested Mr. Kersey, to whom I had in- trusted the letter, to hand 'it toiou. In case you do not receive this tonight I shall take Valkyrie to Sandy Hook lightship tomorrow morning and will cross the line and give De- fender a start. “I inclose copy of a letter I have written to Mr. Iselin, addressed to the New York Yacht club. Yours, very truly, DUNRAVEN.” The Committee’s Position. - On the bulletin board following the Dunraven letter was this statement: All of the propositions of the above letter were discussed between Lord Dunraven and two members of the committee at 9 p. m. yes- terday. The reply given to these conditions was a follows: “First.——That it was impossible at so short a notice to postpone the race for today, Sept. 12. “Second.—That the race would not be start- ed until a clear state for maneuvering was se- cured. “Third—That the committee would not as- sume the responsibility of agreeing to declare the mute void if either vessel suffered from the accompanying steamers. ’ ’ The committee regret that they were un- able to send an answer this morning. Ag, however. the reply would have been the same as that given verbally last night, the fact of no answer having been made was unimportant. For the committee. JAMES D. SMITH, Chairman. A. CASS CANFIELD, Secretary. Another notice posted said that, A. Cass Canfleld having been requested by the Earl of Dunraven and with the approval of Mr. Iselin that the measurer of the New York? Yacht club 'should remeasure the yachts, it was found that the measure- ments of last Eriday should still hold. ‘ The following bulletin was posted later: 'As there was some delay in replying to the ' letter! 91 @521;- 19. evil ‘1}; froathme’Eafl OLEWL‘ :1 v’ ‘0‘? ' u state that the letter of Sept. 10 was handed to the secretary about 12:30 p. m. Sept. 11, with the instructions not to open it until a decision on the protest had been given by the regatta committee. This decision was not reached until 2:30 p. m. on that (in. , and from that hour no time was lost in laying the matter before the cup committee, and a verbal reply was made the same day. _ The letter of Sept. 11 was delivered at th I New. York Yacht club’s house at 1 a. 111. Sept. ‘ 12 and delivered to the committee on the re- gatta committee boat at 8 o’clock the same morn g. General Taylor’s Magnificent Offer. General Charles H. Taylor of Boston has telegraphed to Lord Dunraven and Mr. Iselin in effect that as the races for the America’s cup had such an unsatisfac- f tory termination he will give $5,000 for the purpose of procuring a cup or trophy to be contested for by the Defender and Valkyrie. - . Mr. Taylor in his telegram states that the races must take place off of Marble. , head, Mass, and that he is ready to make the conditions for the race aside from the location suit the gentlemen representing the two yachts. Immediately after the above report was given out to the reporters Mr. C. Oliver Iselin arrived at the clubhouse with Mr. Woodbury Thorne and went up to the room where the regatta committee and the America’s cup committee were holding a joint session. Mr. Iselin absolutely refused to say any- . thing about either the race or the state- ‘ ments of the committee. Mr. Thorne. however, came down stairs not long afterward and consented to see one or two newspaper men, and in reply g to numerous questions said that he did ;.not believe that Mr. Iselin would consent to race over the Marblehead course, even if $10,000 was offered. He thought that Mr. Iselin had had enough racing for this year without taking Defender away round to Boston, with no certainty whatever that the two boats would be free from ex- cursion steamers. “In fact, ” he said, “I think there would be just as much annoyance from the fleet be special trains that would leave the me- tropolis at 5 o’clock in the morning and get t9 Boston in time to see the race and come back the same day, much after the style of the football games at Springfield. ” Commodore Smith’s Statement. After the session of the America’s cup committee ex: Commodore James D. Smith gave out the following statement of his views of the situation: as to the sailing the cup races that has not been strictly lived, up to by the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club. “The endeavor to interposé new condi- tions a few hours before the appointed time to race by Lord Dunraven should have hardly been attempted. and certainly not insisted upon to the extent of impos- ing new terms, which. if not acceded to, might result 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 Defender sail over the course. This, under the rules, made her the winner. Mr. Iselin offered to sail the race of Sept. 10 over again, thus making it no race, which Lord Dunraven declined to do. “I can enter into no discussion of the reasons actuating Lord Dunraven in de- clining to go on with the race. He is a better judge than I as to the course he should pursue, and, if he is satisfied, I certainly must be.” Mr. Smith’s statement created consid- erable excitement and comment at the bulletin board was surrounded for some time with an eager crowd of yachtsmen. Mr. Smith said that the cup committee had notified Mr. Iselin that Defender had successfully defended the America’s cup, fore at an end, so far as the present series of races was concerned. terrors ARE ANGRY. The London Newspapers Generally Up- held Lord Dunraven In His Course. clusion of the international yacht races for ticles in all the London afternoon newspa- pers. In general the press upholds Lord Dunraven. the result is unfortunate, and that it will be deplored as deeply by sportsmen in The article puts the whole blame for the fiasco upon hindering steamers and adds: “We hope that the Earl of Dunraven will Marblehead, as all are anxious to see the comparative merits of the yachts tested, and may the best boat win! Should Val- kyrie win, which We think is improbable, neither Lord Dunraven nor any one else America’s cup, which the new trophy would replace. ” The Sun, which throughout has made sneering comments upon Americans as sportsmen, says that the feeling has grown looked for in the contest for the cup, but adds that it does not sympathize with that view. - The Evening News says that the whole business is in the highest degree discredit- gopd sportsmen. The Westminster Gazette says: “Of course we all love our American friends very much, but our newspapers beg to as- sure them that we all cordially support Lord Dunraven’s retiring in disgust from a contest involving so much rowdyism and unfairness.” The St. James ~(Ein-zette---a.lludes to the Cornell controversy at the Henley regatta and to the course of Mr. M. F: .Dwyer with his horses imEngland and continues: “In the present pastiche result is more re- grettable as; no abla'me attaches to,any of the parties immediately; concerned.” . p The Daily News says: “Lord Dunraven’s withdrawal simply says in effect that there is 'no opportunity in New York wa- ters for a fair trial of skill.

Cannot a race be sailed for love, far from the madding' crowd of New York?” The Times says‘: “The considerations urged in Lord Dunraven’s letter are'very weighty and will generally be held to jus- tify his course. The committee evidently felt the force of his complaint, but despite their earnest desire they could not guar- antee a clear course. The American sports- men appear to have behaved with the fair- ness and sense of honor which should be expected of them. It is to be feared that a long period will elapse before another British yacht sails for the cup.” THE G. A. RJAGOIDENTS. One Hundred Persons Were Injured by the Grand Stand Collapse. LOUISVILLE, Sept. 14.—The national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic closes sadly. While the funerals of the five victims of Wednesday’s explo- sion were in progress today fully 100 per- sons were sufiering from injuries received at the collapse of the grand stand during the display of fireworks last night. In ad- dition to the 50 names sent out in the dis- patches there are about 50 others who were taken to their homes in carriages by friends. Only the names of those taken away in ambulances were available. The stand that collapsed was the one set apart for Louisville people who had contributed to the expenses of the citizens’ committees, and the injured who resided here were taken to their homes instead of the hos- pitals. Those from a distance who were injured were for the most part guests of the Louisville people. _ The hospitals are full of patients suffer- ing from the effect of heat and injuries received at last night’s accident. All are reported doing well there, and, so far as can be learned from 50 or more homes, where the injured are being cared for, they are all doing well today, except Mrs. Hirschfleld, who had her feet crushed and hip dislocated. Bustamedte’s Frightful Fate. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14.—A local pa- per prints a sensational story stating that Florencio Bustamente, the San Salvado- rean refugee who was surrendered to the authorities at La Libertad by the captain of the City of Sydney, was saturated with The state- ment is made in the same paper that Bus- tamente was surrendered upon the order of the American consular agent at La Libertad.
