fleet Of schooners and yachts anchored
 iu and about the horseshoe this morn
 ing, everything sparkelsd with healthy
 anticipation which usual to such oc,
 casious was not in the air. The unfor-
 tunate foul between the Valkyrie end
 the Defender at the stat of the race
 Tuesday, and the awarding of the race
 to the defender, and above all, the fact that the Vaikyrie was looked by many as hopelessly outclassed, tended to blue matters up considerably. The Defen- der in tow of tie tug Flint passed down the bay at $40, and the Valkyrie in tow of tug Willard passed bound down at S:30.
 At s o'clock the weather conditions were the best that have yet favored the international contests. The heze during the early morning hung to the bottom of mother ocean with an embrace that was more than sffectionate. Towards 9 o'clock the wind fell off few points and got around to southwest, and the breeze, at 9:10, had died to knot Gnd a quarter and the sea was almost as glass.
 Ashore some sunshine caused by the report that c. Oliver I7elin had asked the America's cup committee If it had any obJetion to his proposing to Lord Dunraven to ressil the triangular race of Tuesday. Tnep rumor had it that he had received favorable reply and another race was in prospect.
 HIGHLANDs--The Defender crossed the line at 11:20, 24, the Valkyrie crossed at 11:21 ,59, but the Valkyrie immediately after crossing luffed and abandoned the race and is bsing lowed back to New York The pilot boat got directly in the way of the Valkyrie as she crossed the line. The general Apression of opinion is untavorable to Dunraven.
 Disappointment reigns supreme. There seems to be little doubt now that the Valkyrie from the time she left her moorings this morning had DO real in- tention of racing but went across the line ct the same time as the Defender in order to establish the race.
 When the crowd of excursion boats bearing probably b, 900 people saw that the race was fiuke there were howls of derison. All sorts of iibes were hurled at Dunraven sym pathizers and feeling seemed to run very high. In reply to inquiries as 10 his reason for giving up the race, Lord Dunraven and party made TO attempt to answer and left the Valkyrie's deck. taking refuge below. Designer Watson and Ssilmsker Ratzey sat D lear the British y6tchs boom smoking pipes omplacently, but refused to ans wer questions and turned their backs on Meanwhile the Yankee boat was sailing over the course before light wind, and amid exulting tootiogs of all steam craft.
 NEW YoRK-Tbe Vslkyrie has re- turned to Bay Ridge. Arthur Glenn, Lord Dunraven's representative, and au- thcfized by Lord Dunraven to speak, stated that the reason for not sailing was the interference from excursion steamers.
