IN FAVOR OF THE DEFENDER
REGATTA COMMITTEE sUSTAINS
THE PROTEST OF MIR. ISELIN.

All Day-Lord Dunraven Accepts the De-
cision and VIII Have the valkyrle at the
Line To-day for the Third Race of the
Series-He VIII Not Race Though Unless
the Course is Clear of Excursion Boats.
New York, Sept. 1.-THE regatta COM
mittee of the New York Yacht club
rendered a decision this afternoon sus-
tanning Mr.. Iseltn's protest against
the Valkyrie and awarding yesterdays
race to the Defender. This result was
reached after deliberations and confer
ences lasting practically all day. Strong
efforts were made by the committee to
bring about mutual agreement to re-
sail the race, but Lord Dunraven and
Mr.. Iselin insisted upon judgment on
the protest. This left the committee
only one of two things to do: To decide
that Valkyrie fouled Defender, or that
Defender fouled Valkyrie. AS the oc-
currence was directly under the COM
mittee's eyes and was also witnessed
by thousands of spectators there was
only one decision possible. Everyone
conversant with the sailing of yachts
and rules of the road at sea agree that
the British Yacht was at fault
Lord Dunraven and his friends held,
however that his boat was crowded by
the Defender and that the accident
was unavoidable. The committee gave
each side ample opportunity to state
its case and took the testimony of the
cantains and of others who were on
hoard David Henderson. who sailed
on tbe Defender as the representative
of Ford D,,nravan and T r Rusk who
