rules of the road at sea, the right of way
in n race to claim course free from
the impediments of pleasure craft ana
principally the Earl of Dunrayen con-
duct in refusing to finish the races fof
that most famous of international sport
ing trophies, the Americas cup, nave
formed the principal topics of discussion
in London the last few days. 1t must
be admitted, despite the fair comments
of the best among the London news
papers and the polite assurance OF such
n power in the catching world as Mr.
Ormunde, vice commodore of the Royal
Yacht squadron, that American yachts
and yachtsmen will always be welcome
here that this will not be the case. There
has always been feeling here against
Americans, as has fairly been shown III
all the recent international contests.
Every American who has lived for any
length of time in England must nave be-
come familiar with this feeling, which
crops out ON all occasions. A former
American ambassador, who was one of
the most popular men who came to Eng
land and was received upon terms of
greater intimacy in the most exclusive
circles of England than any of his sue
cessors have been, once said to repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, allud-
ing to an article in the st. James Ga
zette, paper which has always been
noted for its hostility to America:
II regard that paper as true expo
nent of the feeling of the British people
with regard to America. They don't
like us and it is no use trying to per-
suade ourselves otherwise"

The rush of Americans homeward
bound is perceptibly diminishing, ac-
cording to reports from the steamship
Offices. Indeed, there is reason to be-
lieve that the rush of passage on board
the steamers was never so great as the
companies all stated it was. Several in
