I Royal acht Squadron, the correspond
ence between himself and the New York
! Yacht Club OIL the events connected with
the recent contests for the Americas

that the correspondence be published in

| fourth letter, dated September 18th, Lord

aud defending his claim 10 have the races
sailed where there would be no over
/ crowding.
/ This last letter, which occupies fully
/ half a column in tue newspapers, first

absolutely or conditionally. Articles of
agreement cannot and are not intended
to lay down fixed rules 10 meet every
Imaginable contingency. Certain contii-
gencies have arisen, as you are aware.
! Confiniug myself TO the subjects OF my
| letter-the OVercrOWding. AS far back
as last October / wrote OF the difficulty
OF securing clear course, but did not
insist upon my views, because L thought
! the persons responsible should be free
! to take what steps they thought best. l
suggested steps which l thought would
remove tho difficulty. These steps were
not taken, and l held 10 my determi-
nation TO sail no more, and so acting, l
I emphatIcaily deny that | went back in
any way on the agreement as 10 terms.
Il did not know whether Messrs
] Crantleld and Bush were officially repre-
senting the committee when they came
/ to see me at the Waldorf. | Judged by
1 their conversation that they were moi,
/ and l understood from them that the
committee had not come to definite con-
/ clusion upon my letter. l now can see
! from your communication that they
/ were officially representing the club.
/ The proposal made to me 10y them was
that | should withdraw from the deter

10th and should sail the third race on
condition that sufficient room was Sc
cured at The start and that in any future
races my suggestion that the dates of the
races and the times OF starting should
not be made public should be car
I ried out. Your action does not
/ commend itself 10 me. Nobody has de-
nied the overcrowding. but in any case

committee, not unjustitiable, and should
have received slight consideration"
MAY BE ANOTHER RACE.
