11IE two BOATS AT BAY RIDGE
The two marine gladators. the valkyrie and
the Defender, were weighed in again yesters
day morning at Erie Basin. II was said by the
Defender people that this was done at the re-
quest Of the Earl Of Dunraven, who could not
believe that the measurements OF the American
cup defender could be correctly given from the
way in which she had walked away from his
boat
John Hyslop, the official n easurer OF the New
York Yacht Club. told The Tribune reporter that
the remeasurng done at the request OF the
Cup Committee The result OF yesterdays ne"
measuring of the winning boat In saturdays
race could not have been very satisfactory 10
the Earl OF Dunraven, for almost no discrepan-
cies were discovered. In fact, what errors were
found were the wrong side OF the account
for the English nobleman. although they were
so slight Hyslop said. as to be OF no material
consequence
Almost all day yesterday the two yachts lay st
Bay Ridge where they had been towed after the
race on Saturday evening. That they were the
centre OF admiration and attracted hundreds
of visitors goes without saying The Hattie
