FOR AMERICA,S CUP.
Lord Dunravsn Wants Another Chance a
 tho Prize.

Lord Dunraven Wants Another Chance at
 tho Prize.
 New York, Nov. S.-The New York Yacht club held a special meeting to- night to consider a letter from Lord Dunraven looking forward to 8 chal- lenge for the Americas cup. There was a large attendance of we'll known yachtsmen.
 Lord Dunraven's letter is dated Co., tober 25 and is addressed to J. V. &. Oddie of the club. He states that the terms and conditions governing the vigilant- -valkyrie matches would be quite satisfactory to him with several notifications. First, he suggests that yachts should be measured with all the weights on board. dead and alive. which they intend to carry during a race and should be marked; that no alteration should be made in the amount of those weights. and no ballast trimmed without notice given to the sailing committee not less than twenty four hours before a race.
 The second suggestion Is that all dead to windward and leeward matches should be started to windward. Lord Dunraven thinks 1t, impossible to find a naturally better place for sailing matches than the outer bay of New York, but he objects to the over- crowding by pleasure boats which. he says, is a great disadvantage. He is in favor of racing off Marblehead. and says that if there Is even a probability of starting a race, at that place he hopes the New York Yacht club will consent to do so.
 He concludes his letter by suggesting that the challenger should have equal rights with, the challenged relative to the selection of the vessel to sail for the cup. It is unfair, he declares, that a challenging club should be confined to one vessel while the challenged club can select champion from an nindefnite number.
 The letter rwas discussed and thesmat- ter was placed in the hands of a spe- cial committee. The club unanimously decided by resolution that the next races for the cup. should be sailed off New York and that Marblehead and Newport wousd not be considered un- der any circiimstances.
 Lord Dunraven was advised by cable ofethe action of the club and was in- formed that committee had been formed to consider his letter.

BLOODY POLITICAL FEUD
ONE NAN KILLED AND ASOTHER tt FATALLY INJURED.

Fatal Tragedy Followed Discussion Over
 the Election in Kentucky-Plstoi and
 Knives Were Usod-The Murderer a
 Br.ckinridge Supporter.
 Lexington. Ky. Nov. s.-A bloody political tragedy occurred In Lexine- ton when John Traynor. marshal ot Athens. Ky. cut Lew Sharpe probably fatally and shot and killed Ike David son.
 Sharpe and Traynor were both demo- crats. Sharpe was an Owens man and Traynor Breckinridge supporter, They met in front of the Leland hotel. Sharpe accused Traynor of having voted for Denny. the republican can didate for congress- Traynor denied It when Sharpe called him a-uar. Sharpe, who was crippled as the re- suit of having been shot in the knee during the war, was knocked down by Traynor.
 Traynor then drew a knife mad be- gan cutting the old soldier, Pat Toomey rushed to sharpe's assistance and knocked Traynor down. Ike Davidson tried to separate them. Traynor rose and went down the street with two pistols in his hands, Soon he turned and fired, the bullet striking Davidson in the stomach. Davidson died in an hour. Sharpe was taken to the hospital, where he is suffering greatly and 1t Is more than likely he will die. Traynor was locked up. Davidson was well known distiller. The origin of the bad feeling dates back some time.
 On election day John Green. who was Marshal Traynor's deputy, shot and fatally wounded George Toomey, a brother of the man who took part in to-day's affair.
 There is a great deal of bad blood between the Owens and Breckinridge men and it is feared this will not be the last of the trouble.
 Sharpe is closely related to Stephen c. Sharpe, ex-treasurer of Kentucky.
