Lord Dunraven. Sir Charles Hall. and Mr..
Richard Grant. The meeting lasted half an
hour. adjourninR at 4 o'clock. Nothing was
settled in regard 10 the questions concerning
race for the Americas Cup.
The above statement was obtained from Sec
rotary Richard Grant ss he was leaving MARI

stely after the meeting, and IL Is authoritative.
IL IL understood, however. that although no
final action was taken Secretary Grant tele-
graphed to the New York Yacht Club that the
eableRrsm received by Lord Dunravsn on Dec.
10 had boon brought before the flag officers Of
the Royal Yacht Squadron and must now be
submitted to the club. II the challenge should
be accepted and the CUP should be won by the
challenger, he added, the squadron would not
demand the cup In case of failure TO make . sat
i~sfactory agreement as to its receipt.

port that the meeting In question could not be
held to-day. as the Prince OF Wales was pre-
siding at q meeting Of the Duchv Of Cornwall
