Thinks the Defender VIII Do,
NEW YORK, September 23.-When a rep
resentative of the Associated Press showed
this cable message to eX-Commodore James
u. Smith, chairman of the Americas cup
committee, the veteran yachtsman read the
news eagerly, and said This, indeed, is q
very sportsmanlike challenge, and I am
very glad to hear it. OF course our COM
m1ttee has nothing to do with it, but when
nc eiect SualienSe arrives nave no doubt
that special meeting of the New York
yacht Club will be called and new cup
committee appointed. In his preliminary
cable Mr.. Rose said that he begged to chal-
lenge for he Americas cup next year. the
race to be sailed on conditions satisfactory
to the cup committee. In the cablegram
that you / ave just shown me Mr.. Rose
bears out his pr evious cablegram and leaves
the conditions absolutely in the hands of
any cup committee that may be appointed
Whether shall be a member of that com
mittee or not. can now say positively that
the very fairest possible conditions will be
adopted. This is good news, indeed, fer
american yachtsmen, and. in my opinion,
1t will not be necessary for us to build IN,
other cup defender in order to beat the
Distant Shore"

London Press Comments.
In commenting upon the contests the
London Standard says:
1T is impossible to conceive Of anything
more disastrous than the experience of the
English athletes. 1t would be preposterous
to attempt to explain away such a defeat
Even if all of our best men had been pres
emit and in the finest condition they would
have stood little chance against OF. oonents
who showed such unquestionable superior
fty. The Americans probably have the fin
est team of athletes that the world has
ever seen. No true sportsman will begrudge
item the unqualified praise to which they
are justly entitled"
The Daily News: 'It is comfort to feel
that one has been beaten fairly. The VIC
tory of the New York Athletic Club was
no chance victory The more we have of
these contests the better Who knows that
Bunker Hill may not be wiped out by this
high jump"
Daily Telegraph: 1.-The New Workers won
on their merits without a shadow of doubt
but the London Athletic Club may Justly
feel that in this instance their reputation
was haZarded IN a highly unsatisfactory
manner owing to the absence of some of
their best men,"
The Chronicle: THE unequal conditions
owing to the climate is the only consola ton
that can be extracted. The beating is GER
tainly without a parallel in the history of
international sport"

\ This season, since the opening of

peculiar on record in Minnesota, in
the early opening of spring, which was
in March, and its late killing frosts,
which came only within the past
week the last days of September
Early and warm as was spring, the
weather was ftful, with some heavy
frosts, until late in May. And the
summer has been one of extremes
extremes Of heat with occasional
drops of temperature to the frost line
for few days every month; and
withal the hottest September weather
the first twenty days ever known.
But the remarkable feature of the

The forest foliage opened the first
week in May, and on October I, this

almost as green as in early summer
