rfthout doubt. as the owners of the latest
creation Of Herreshof are fully convinced
tsat she is the fastest yacht afloat. There
IL no likelihood Of another yacht being

he Distant Shore will race some time
early in August in all probability the Val

The same time as this year.
New York. Sept. 26.-Lord Dunraven's
object In having the Valkyrie III. spend the
winter on this side OF the Atlantic is TO
have her race. and incidentally, IL is said
silence critics who asserted that he was
afraid 10 have the yacht meet the De-
fender. II. Maitland Kersey. who has
acted as Lord Dunraven's spokesman. said
today: There has been a great deal OF
talk about special races between the two
vessels, and II anybody wants the Nalkyrie

fender goes 10 tho Mediterranean the VAL
kyrie will go there also"
Cowes, Isle Of Wight. Sept. 26.-Mr.
IfAHts stcFetAfy OF TIE Royal yacht
squadron. was asked by a reporter today
regarding rumors that a race would be
sailed this season between the yachts De-
fender and Valkyrie III. In American wa
tiers. Mr.. Grant said no challenge had
been given or taken by Lord Dunraven. so
far as official news had reached the Royal
yacht squadron, for any race between the
two boats named. In his opinion Il Is not
likely that the Valkyrie viii sail again
IN American waters this year, owing to
the fact that portion OF her crewis in En-
gland and that Lord Dunraven is starting
FOR home today on board Mr.. Laycook's
steam yacht SO far as he knows. no
challenge !s contemplated. and assuredly
no challenge has been sent or received
through the Royal yacht squadron.
