WILL VALKYRIE BEAT TREK?
Lord Dunraven's Cup Challenger
Reaches Gravesend i'm a Fog.

Gravesend Special to the New York World May 21.
Valkyrie will have to go into her initial race
tomorrow an untried boat. Neither her de-
signer nor captain has the slightest idea how
she will behave in fair breeze. The cruise
from Southampton here simply drift
through thick fog. Betting men at the
London clubs waited to see what Valkyrie
would do on this cruise around the coast before
stalking their money. There is absolutely moth
ing to guide them. Tonight the betting is
even that Valkyrie won't take two out of the
three races against Irex and Yarana. Valkyrie
got away from Southampton early Sunday.
Lord Dunraven and party did not sail in her.
She had hardly cleared the Isle of Wight be-
fore the fog wrapped her in Cimmerian dark
ness She made the trip through the channel,
and the passage was very dangerous. There
were occasional gusts that filed the big MAIN
SAIL but they only served to show that the
spinnaker-boom was not fairly slung, and that
a good many hurried slips would have to be
remedied at Gravesend before the cutter could
be made ready for the race.
Early to-day tug was sighted off Beachy
road. She took Valkyrie in tow and arrived
here with her this afternoon. The World cor
spondent went out in a steam launch to meet
her. Lord Dunraven and others were anxiously
awaiting her arrival. The new boat is declared
by yachtsmen here the handsomest cutter ever
deck seems rather encountered with COM
panions and skylights. Her mainsail sits like
q card.
The World correspondent asked Capt. Diaper
how the boat behaved.
1--WE did not get wind enough" he said, ''to
see what she really could do; but under the
conditions she behaved beautifully. l think
she will do a lot better than the Thistle. The
Americans must bring out good boat to beat
her."
DO you think she would stand any chance
against the Volunteer
Il think it would be most unequal contest"
Irex which will be Valkyries chief COMPETE
tor tomorrow, came up the river with Captain
O'Neill, who is believed i'll England to be the
best racing captain in the world. The captain
looked his new rival carefully over. He be-
lieves that with fair race the America cup is
coming to this side of the water.
Everything that can float is here to see the
race. Long after dark Valkyrie was surrounded
by small boats containing yachtsmen eager to
| inspect her. No one was allowed on board as
| the crew of carpenters had an all-night job
| before them to get her in trim to start.
There was "a report late tonight that Lord
Dunraven would not start her till Thursday,
but it is impossible to confirm it.

pared many a dinner for Secretary Whitney,
and has at times prepared meals tor the delec-
