OPINION IN LONDON.
Some Remarks OF British Papers
on tho Race.

London, Sept. 1.-The Daily Graphic
commenting upon the result of yester-
days race for the Americas Cup says
that however slight the damage sustained
by the American boat in being fouled
Just before the start gun was fred, it
was probal ly sufficient to effect the re-
silt of the contest. The Daily News
says that it is evident that the Defender
and valkyrie III. are beautifully matched
and that this fact promises to make the
races between them interesting to the
very end. The Times says that Lord
Dunraven and his countrymen will feel
that success which can plausibly be
disputed is not the sort of victory that
Englishmen love to win. The cup COM
mittees decision will be accepted Loyalty
by the competitors and their country
men.
