 From All Quarters. DUNRAVEN IS CHEERFUL He Still Thinks VaIkyrie Is
 the Faster Boat. IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER MURDER. A Wretch Uses an Axe On a
 Woman's Head. THE AMERICAN FoREIGA BOARD.
THE AMERICAN FOREIGa BOARD.
No Definite Action Has Yet
 Been Taken.
DUNRAvEN IS HOPEFUL.

He StiN Regards the vaIkyrie a Faster BeaI Than the Vigilant In a Very Stiff Breeze or in Very Light Breeze-Both Yachts Are Ready for To-day-A. New BowsPrIt Put on the Vfgflant, Hut There Was no Activity Aboard the Cup Challenger. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-At noon today the shipwrights in Wintringham's yard had completed their work on the 40-foot Ore gon pine spar, brought down from City Island at midnight of Monday and had made new bowsprit of 1t for the vigilant to replace the one injured in yesterdays race.
 This afternoon the new bowsprit was hoisted into place and MT. Iselin notified the cup committee of the Vigilants ability to keep her engagement with the Valkyrie to morrow. Mir. Wilson, the vigilants sailmaker, and half doxsn assistants were. busy for several hours to-day strengthen ing and sealing the yachts canvas. At 5 o'clock this afternoon the Vigilant hoisted her mainsail and started from her anchor age for ehort sail in the bay for the pur- pose of te sting her new bowsprit.
 The Vigilant set her iib soon after leav- ing the anchorage and stood away toward Tompkinsvllls, h-easting the strong flood in gallant style. Later she set her gaff topsail and reached down off Clifton about a mile and half, then wheeling around, she took in her topsail and dropped back leisurely to her berth off the Atlantic Yacht club house, which she reached at 6 o'clock
 There was no appearance of activity on h0n 0npl $ha nIlr ko1 1. L ing parties went out to inspect the English clipper, but no one was allowed to go on board.
 Lord Dunraven was cheerful and hope ful to-day. He frankly admitted that the Valkyrie was fairly beaten in yesterdays race, but he would not admit that the Vigi- lant is the better boat under con ditlons favorable to the Valkyrie. The earl remarked: 1T realize that I have little ohancs now that I have lost two races, but I have not given up hope. There is still chance. I regard the race on Saturday as fuke, in which the Vigi- lant by good luck got the best of it. I still regard the Valkyrie as the faster boat of the two in very stiff breeze or very light breeze. I believe the English boats are better suited to our wind and WA ter, and the American boats are better on this side. I believe the Valkyrie will beat the Vigilant in race on the other side"
