Chairman James -. Smith Calls or
Lord Dunrnven.

Lord bnnrhNcn nan an early CARER
this mornin. at his rooms in the Wal
dorf. 1t was sX-Commudore James ID.
Smith, of the New York Yacht Club,
and Chairman of the Americas Cup Com
mittee, who came TO pay his respects
to the Earl. and invite him to a dinner
which will be given in his honor at Del
monico's on the evening Of Oct. 2.
Commodore Smith arrived at the Wal
dorf at $50 a. Nj. and was Immediately
| ushcrcd up to the apartments of Dun
raven. where he remained until nearly
1910.
When he came down his ruddy face
was wreathed in smiles, and in answer
to the questions of II reporter of The
Evening Wurid' he said that he had en-
joyed Il very pleasant call, and that
Lord D%unrnven had cordially accepted
club and the invitation to dinner next
week at Delmonico's.
II had a very pleasant chat with the
Earl" he said. "and my opinion Is that
he IL "A true sportsman and yachtsman
IN every sens" of tn" wort.
zone thing that wanted to find out
was when he could meet the Americas
cup Committee to arrange the prclimin-
aries for the races which will begin next
week. The members of the Committee.
including Latham A.. Fish, and
Messrs. Philip Schuyler, A. Cass Can
field. j. Fred Tamg and myself, are now
all in town, and We want to get the de-
tails settled as soon AZ possible.
" Lord D~unrav"n agreed To meet us
tomorrow forenoon and talk over mat.
ters. | expect to see the members of
the committee to-day some time at my
downtown office, in Broad street, but.
OF course. we cannot decide upon any
with US"
"Do YOU know anything about the
report ina i;9rd pHnrmyen has chal,
NnVnhnn aud Val Nlip in American
Brenton Reef cup"
~ don't think there is any truth in
did not ask Lord Dunraven about it.
In the first place. It would be too late
for such Il contest after the Americas
cup races We're over, and IN the second
place the Navahoe could not possibly
get here in time.
Another reason FOR believing that UGH
n contest would be impossible is that
Mr.. Carroll will not be here for the next
two or three months, for | know that
he Is going to remain abroad for some
time"
Cards were sent up to Mr., Kerr, Lord
Dunraven's brothcr-in-law, and to the
Earl himself, but word was, brought
down that they would be unable to see
any one this morning.
Designer George l.. Watson came
down for a few moments, II do not
know what Lord Dunrnvcn's plans are
for the day said he, land | don't be
iieVe he, has any dehhite idea OF What
ne VIII do.
Il am very. husy win my corresponu,
ence. ana VIII remain az me note, w
afternoon e least, and d. not think
tn" Earl Will go iar away from the hotei
to-day.
lie has been about q good deal since
he arrived last saturday, ana / think
he means to tax" things ,nSN.
u do not think Lord bunraven in
tends TO remain here very long after
the races for TN" cup, and In THAT case
a race with the Navahoe is out OF the
question
MIR. Watson added that all speed
would b" made to get Nnlkyrlc into
shape for some trial spins down the
bay during the last of tn" week, but
sand that she would not probably have
her sails bent on and be cleaned up be-
fore nest T~hursday.
Vt II \ II. to-day Lord punravcn and
his party were ut breakfast. According
To Mr.. Kerr. the Earl's private secretary.
Lord punraVcn had made no definite
plans for to-day. but he would probably
10 out and take a look about durin-
the afternoon.
The Earl has received mauy invita-
lions from praminpnt society uGop,c who
have met h.m on the Other side to visit
them at lrnoy and Tuxedo, as well A.
