QUEEN ANNE STYLES.

'The so-called Queen Anne style is
supposed to be foundel on the class of
designs that were used to a large extent
at the beginning of the Eighteenth Cen-
tury. The buildings that were erected
during the reign of Queen Anne were
simple and plain, with classic cornice:
and details, and frequently had large
windows that were often divided by
mullions. Some of the picturesque
features of the old buildings are util-
ized to the best advantage in the mod-
ern revised styles, andan interesting
example accompanies this article.

The name “Queen Anne” is quite mis-
leading. for the style partakes more of
the nature of the buildings of the earlier
Renaissance or of the Elizabethan period
than of those of Queen Anne’s reign. It
has also borrowed from the Renaissance
of Germany and France, as well as
some of its best features from the clas-
sic and the late Gothic styles.
Queen Anne style is best fitted to villas
and structures of that order.

The, Cup Challenger Withdraws His
Yacht From the Races.
HE voncssarrn no REASON.
Valkyrie Wan at the Starting Line, but
Had No ' Racing Sails Set—Immo-
dlately After Crossing She Turn-
ed About and Took a Tug.
NEW YORK, Sept. l3.‘-—Tho third race
for the America’s cup began with a bitch
and ended in a walkover for the American
boat. After a delay of ten minutes be-
yond the time set for the start Defender
got away on a course 15 miles to leeward
and return, 30 seconds in front of Valky-
The challenger, however, went over
the line . evidently without any intention
of going on with the race, for her club top-
soil was not up, and as soon as she was
past the judges’ boat she turned, rounded,
and heading into the wind lowered her
head sails while Defender under all sail
continued her course.
A preliminary gun was fired at 10:55.
It was generally regarded as the prepara-
tory signal, but it was not. Defender then
had her club topsail set over all plain sail,
with her spinnaker pole on end and her
balloon jib topsail up in stops, while Val-
kyrie played about with only her mainsail,
staysail and jib in place.
The real preparatory gun was fired at
11:10 sharp. Defender began maneuver.
ing for the start in the usual way, but
I C. OLIVER ISELIH.
Valkyrie moved about as though she had
no intention of going at the signal, and
there was no sign aboard of an intention
to make more sail. The excursion fleet,
larger than ever, was gathered down to
leeward of the wind, which was then light,
about six miles an hour, from the east by
south.
Valkyrie Gives It Up.
The starting gun was fired at 11:20.
Defender was almost on the line, and she
wont over 24 seconds after gunfire. The
ofiicial time of the start was as follows:
H. M. s.
Defender ..... ....... . .......... 11 20 24
Valkyrie ................... . ............ 11 21 59
Defender broke out) her spinnaker and
balloon jib topsail as she went, while the
challenger, still under short canvas, went
on a few yards and then turned back in
the wind and headed toward the Hook.
She raised the New York Yacht club pen-
nant to her peak and made a signal to the
judges’ boat which was regarded as mean-
ing that she gave up the race. That she
had done so was evident, as a. few min-
utes later she lowered her sails one after
the other and took a tow toward Sandy
Hook.
Meanwhile Defender, with all sails
drawing well, kept on her course, and
when Valkyrie had started back under
tow her rival was fully five miles down
the course, most of the excursion fleet fol-
lowing her. She took in her spinnaker
about that time.
To the spectators on the cable boat an-
chored close to the start and to those on
shore it looked as though it was Lord
Dunraven’s intention to make a start, so
that a race would be declared Whether, he
finished or not. From the canvas Valky-
rie carried it was plain that she had no
intention of going on when she crossed
the line A pilotboat which was near the
line blanketed her badly on the line, and
some thought this was the reason for her
withdrawal, but it was evident that there
was another cause. ’1 be excursion fleet did
not seem to interfere.
No Explanation Vouchsafed.
A reporter on a tug hastened to the side
of Valkyrie, but when he hailed the Brit-
ish beat his only answer was the swash of
the waves and the contemptuous tooting
of the American tugs’ whistles. ,
If Lord Dunraven and Mr. H. Maitland
Kersey Were aboard of the retreating
yacht. they were not in evidence. Neither
was the goat.
Captain Cranfieid stood in the bow grin-
ning, and Sycamore was at the Wheel.
Sailinaker Hersey and Designer Watson
sat on the octagonal boom.
When they were hailed, they preserved
the most absolute silence, whether hailed
by either the press tugs or the private
yachts.
The New York Yacht club’s flag still
floated from the truck, and the, British
sailors gazed at it from time to time with
expressions upon their faces as though
they wondered why it was that the flag of
an American club—a hated rival—should
float from the top of a R. Y. S. mast.
For the first time in all of the races for
the America’s cup the English pretender to
that trophy has given up without a decent
struggle. The country that produced the
sailors that conquered the Spanish armada,
won the battle of the Nile and received
Nelson’s orders at Trafalgar has had a
thrashing on water, and it did not even
depart with the honors of war, for the
colors of the enemy Were flying.
The excursion boats for the greater part,
instead of following triumphant Defender,
headed toward vanquished Valkyrie to
find out why she should have surrendered
before the race was on.
The Explanation.
Soon after Valkyrie was safe at her
moorings, Commodore Arthur Glennie,
Lord Dunraven’s representative, came on
board the press tug and announced that
the reason Valkyrie did not sail in the
race today was because of noncompliance
with the contents of Lord Dunraven’s let-
ter to the America’s cup cemmittee, and
which was sent with special request that
it'should not be opened until Defender’s
protest against the fouling of the two
yachts had been fully considered and the
judgment announced.
Continuing, Commodore Glennie said:
“I cannot tell you whether the cup com-
mittee did or did not receive Lord‘Dun-
raven’s letter. But the substance of it
was that he would not sail unless he was
guaranteed a course freefrom interference,
which he thinks he has not had thus far.
Had we been assured that the course would
have been kept clear for even five minutes
before the starting time, we whuld have
sailed. We went down to the line and
acted honOrably. We went across so as to
make it a race, and then, as you know, we
returned. It was necessary for us to cross
the line in order to make it a race.”
Lord Dunraven’s Letter.
Lord Dunraven’s letter to the cup com-
mittee was as follows:
GENTLEMnN—It is with great reluctance that
I write to inform you that I decline to sail the
Valkyrie any more under the circumstances
that have prevailed in the last two races, and
for the following reasons:
First.—To attempt to start two such large
vessels in such confined space and among mov-
ing steamboat-s and tugboats is, in my opin-
ion, exceedingly dangerous, and I will no fur-
ther risk the lives of my men or the ship.
Second—At the start of the first race the
crowding was so great that we could not see
the markboat and could not tell when we were
near the line, and we were much hampered by
steamboat-s, especially on 'fie reach home.
Today on the reach twine eight or nine
steamboat-s were to the windward of me, and,
what was worse, a block of steamboats were
steaming level with me and close under my
lee. I sailed nearly the whole distance in tuni-
bling, broken water, in the heavy wash of
these steamboats.
To race under these conditions is, in my
opinion, absurd, and I decline to submit my-
self to them again.
I would remind your committee that, fore-
seeing the trouble that might occur, I urged
upon them the desirability of sailing ofit' Mar-
blehead or some locality other than New York
bay, and they refused to do so. At the same
time I would testify to my full belief that your
committee have done everything in their pow-
er to prevent overcrowding.
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 neighborhood of a great city and
the dates of the races and times of starting
are knOan and. advertised, it is impossible to
keep a course free from causes of exceptional
danger'and clear enough to assure the proba-
bility that the result of a match will be decid-
ed according to the relative merits of the com-
peting vessels.
I have the honor to remain your obedient
servant, DUNRAVEN.
The America’s Cup Committee.
Caustic British Comment.
LONDON, Sept. 13.—While the tone of
the best of the English newspapers, in
commenting upon the decision of the cup
committee sustaining Defender’s claim
of a. foul in Tuesday’s yacht race, contin-
ues to be moderate, it must be admitted
that the committee’s decision has produced
a general feeling of irritation among Eng.
lishmen. Adverse comments of individ-
uals are heard on all sides. The Yachts-
man, in an article on the subject, dwells
upon the conduct of the excursion steam-
ers attending the race and says: “The first
match could hardly be called a. race, 0w-
ing to the shameful interference by excur- .
sion steamers. It seems clear that in
Tuesday’s race Defender lost nothing by
the accident, but was beaten on merits in
the beat to windward. With regard to
Defender’s protest, it is impossible as yet
to form an opinion save that it would not
have been lodged by Valkyrie III had the
cases been reversed.”
The Sun, which throughout has main-
tained a tone hostile to America, says:
“The Yankees evidently intend to keep
the cup. Possession is nine points of the
law of sport in America.”
The Evening News says: “The whole
business sav‘Ors of sharp practice. N 0 one
would quarrel with a decision ordering
that the race he resalled, but We cannot
stomach a. paper victory awarded to De-
fender.” .
The Pall Mall Gazette, in the course of
a long article on the subject, dilutes upon
British patience and good temper, perti-
nacity and unquenchable love of justice
and continues: “It is not easy to accept
the decision, but we hope We are taking it
as sportsmen. It is hardly equitable; but,
according to the rules of the game, we no-
cept it and will try again. It turns out
that Mr. Iselin is a sportsman with the
best of us. We shall have another race.”
The St. James Gazette also accepts as a
fact the‘ report that Mr. Iselin has offered
to resail Tuesday’s race. The Gazette
says: “It is a most sportsmanlike offer.
The decision seems clearly and demon-
stratively wrong, but it was authoritative
and should be accepted ioyally. ”
The Globe says: “The decision is receiv-
ed with the bittercst regret and disap-
pointment. Still it is the duty of English-
men, ns truc sportsmen, to accept it with-
out compluint or protest.“
The \T‘estminster Gazette says: “The
decision certainly puts t to good feeling of
English and American sportsmen to a so-
verc tent. "
