This result was reached after I deliberations and conferences last-, ! ing prae ically all day. As the- oi— Icmrenee was directly under the i eyes of the committee and was al so witnessed by thousands of spec ; tutors, there was only one decis ! ion possible. Every one conversant with the i racing of yachts and rules of the road at sea, agreed that the Brit ish yacht was t fault Lord Dun -1 raven and his friends, held that 1 his boat vas crowded by the De • fender and that the accident was i unavoidable. The conunittee give each side ample opportunity to sta'e their case, and took timony of the 'captains of each yacht and of (fli ers wno were on board. Mr. Da vid Hendc son, who sailed on the Defender as the representative of Lord Dunraven, and Mr. J R. Bush who reiiroscnted the New York Yach' Club on ti.e Valkyrie each reported on the oceu'rence. All the interest' d parlies were at the yacht clubhouse until late in ( the as ernoon. With Lord Dunra ven were Rear Commodore Arthur Glenny, "f tl e Royal Clyde 5 aebt Club : Sai maker Ratsey.H.

It was in the form of a reply to Mr. Iselin’ protest and reads as fol lows : “Mr. C. Oliver Iselin—We beg t* acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday protesting against the Valkyrie. We have given the matter our careful con sideration and believed that the foul occurred through the miscal culation of the distance between the two yachts at a critical mo— < inent. From our observations sus ! tained by that of ethers who were in good position to see, we find that the Valkyrie, in contravention lof section 11 of racing rule 16, bore down upon the Defender and fouled her by the swing of her main boom when luffing to straigb'en her course. We also consider that the Defender allowed the Valkyrie sufficient room to windward to pass clear of the committee boat. Your protest is, then fore, sustained. “S. Nicholson Kane, ‘‘Chairman. “Irving Grinnell, “Chester Griswold.” WILL SAIL TODAY. “The Regatta Committee.’ The Defender’s’cracked topmast and spreader was taken down yes ■erday. The horn of the spreader was broken entirely off, while the topmast had a ‘split in it about one-third of the distance up from the main masthead. Another spar to take its place has been brought to the basin. It is not a new spar, but one made for the Colona. Captain Haff said it would answer the purpose all right. It weight 400 pounds less than the, old stick. The dam aged spread r wasalso taken down. Its outboard end looked as though it bad been clawed off The Detender’s water line will not be remeasured ; but the Valky rie’s will. Eighteen pigs of lead weighing about one and a one quarter tons were removed from her hold today and she will set higher on the water. Probably the difference in water line measure ment will pipe out the 29.1 seconds time allowance. Race will be fifteen miles to windward and return. The start will be from Sandy Hook light ship unless the committee estab lishes another starting point in or der to obtain a windward course of ti teen miles. The same rubs that governed the first two races will prevail. +♦4 ♦+++++■*+•{•++<•♦ +++•♦++•}-4-+♦< TEE HUFTLER OF ROME V t IS I: 7 HE * FEC FLE’6 * PA PER ♦ THE ONLY ALL HOME SET $ HOME PRINT PAPER IN ROVE' IO CENTS A WEEK DEFENDED , ‘Three Sheet in The Wind” She Wins Three Races VALKYRIE NOT IN IT Claimed I hat a Tug Blanketed i Her Just After She Cross’ ed the Line But”Dun’ raven Didn’t Want to I Race "a Little.” I ' , i ’Die Western Union bulletins to* > day states that Valkyrie and De fender toed the mark and crossed the line this morning in the third , race of the series but— The Defender defeated the \ alkyrie by .»() miles and a ininit. •Just after the great yachts cross- - ed the line the Britisher hauled down he; sails and quit the race.
