ANXIOUS FOR A RACE.
The Yachts of Two Nations May
Yet Come Together,
LORD DUNRAVEN INTERVIEWED
The English Nobleman Declares His viii.
ingness 70 Enter the Contest Regardless
of the Americas Cup, but Must Race
Before the End of September.


Before the End of September.
LONDON, Dec. IA representative Of
the Associated Press saw Lord Dunraven
last night and showed him the cabled in
terview with Commodore Smith, of the
New York Yacht club. Lord Dunraven
said;
Commodore Smith is perfectly correct
in what he says about the New York Yacht
club being willing to advance the dates,
and in view of his statement l regard that
difficulty as quite settled. 1t could never
have been a real difficulty, as, if 1 can
build and fit out our yacht for trials here,
then reftt her for the Atlantic passage and
again reft her for the cup races, surely
the New York yacht people would not find
difficulty in merely building and fitting
out defending yacht in time to race be-
fore October, This question of time alone
has troubled me l have the greatest obJec-
tions to racing after the end of September.
Now that that trouble Is over the only
stumbling block seems to be the question
of the receipt for the cup. This matter
never entered my mind when l decided to
challenge, aud Mr.. Grant, secretary of the
Royal Yacht squadron, wrote the challenge
in the same form as that sent in 1892, and
posted it without a suspicion that it would
not be accepted If the New York Yacht
club insists that this question of the re.
ceipt shall be settled before the challenge
Is accepted, at least a month will tran
spire before a meeting of the Royal Yacht
squadron can be held and time will
thus be dallied away. Anyhow, the
matter quite concerns the two clubs, and
not me. 1 have sent Commodore Smith S
remarks in regard to this matter to the
Royal Yacht squadron, which will deal
with them.
Il am only anxious that the New York
Yacht club accept the challenge in order
TO enable me 70 commence the building OF
the new yacht and that it let the receipt
matter stand over for settlement between
the two clubs"
Lord Dunraven concluded by saying
'You can tell the people on the other side
that all l want is to be allowed to race. II
1 win 1 do not care whether they give me
the cup or not"
