ROSE TO BE GIVEN A RACE.
THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB AC-
CEPTS HIS CHALLENGE.

Committee Appointed to Arrange
the Conditions Of the RaceS-The
Same 9Ien Appointed Who Con-
Quoted the Negotiations for the
Observation-Disclosures Races-Yachts-
men Confident That the Defender
Is Fast Enough to Defend the Cup
without building a New Boat.
Nevertheless, Gould or Vanderbilt
May Build One.
Ryde, Isle of Wight, Oct 15.-The Royal
Victoria Yacht Club has received a ca
blegram from the secretary of the New
York Yacht Club accepting the challenge
for the Americas cup, issued by Charles
d. Rose, through the Royal Victoria
Yacht Club. and giving notice that
committee has been appointed to arrange
the conditions of the contest.
New York, Oct 15.-The Americas Cup
Committee remained in session at the
New York Yacht club house until after
midnight last night. They drew up a letter
70 Charles Day Rose, of the Royal Victoria
Yacht Club, formally notifying him of
or the committee and stating that full
power has been given them by
ane snd r0dIlo eipe to- confer wit with him him
tions for the races. The letter confirms the
cablegrams sent by Secretary Oddie, of
the New York club TO Mr.. Rose and Sec
retary Thellusson. Of the Royal Victoria
club last night.
The letter was mailed to-day When
reply is received from Mr.. Rose the com
mittee Will hold another meeting and
some of the details for the races and the
probable dates will be settled
The re-appointment of the committee
which had charge of the Defender-Nal-
kyrie races is considered a strong en-
dorsement of their course throughout the
recent races. Had other men been nam
ed on the committee appointed last night,
it would have given the British critics
an opportunity to say that the club fail
ed to endorse the old committee and that
Lord Dunraven was right in withdraw
ing from the race.
There is as yet little talk of building
a new boat to meet Mr.. Roses Distant
Shore. Yachtsmen here say that the De-
fender is a better boat than the English
men can build in three years, and that
the cup is safe if left to her. The report
that three boats are to be built on the
other side and the best one sent here
does not disconeert these yachtsmen at
all. In spite of this talk IL would not be
at all surprising If w. X. Vanderbilt,
George ]. Gould or some other wealthy
member of the New York Yacht Club
should come forward and build boat
on his own account.
