THn suN's story yesterday that Tiers was st1
some doubt about = race being arranged for tn
Americas Cup next year caused any amount o
talk among yachtsmsn, aud considerable sur
prise was expressed In some quarters that Their
could be any doubt about q race. now that
challenge had been received. As The SUI
pointed out som, days ago. there was . probs
bility Of = hitch in the negotiations between thu
New York Yacht Club and the Royal Yscht
Squadron. acting in behalf Of the Earl Of Dun
raven.
Yesterday the probability developed into q
certainty, for after the Americas Cup Commit.
tee had spent over four hours In discussing Dun
ravens last letter, which was published in THR
Sun Of Sunday. . csblegrsm was sent 10 the
Earl practically declining TO agree with either
of the propositions whlce hh laid the greatest
stress on. While . race may vet be sailed, 1t
certainly will not take place next year unless
Dunraven and the Royal Yacht Squadron make
ssquare beckdown.
