London, Eng, Nov. 9.-The publica-
ton by the London Times of three
and a half column extract from the
pamphlet which Lord Dunraven is just
issuing as a reply to the report of the
Americas cup committee, a synopsis
of which was cabled 10 the Associated
Press last night has caused a renewal
of the anti-American talk in all circles,
which began after the withdrawal Of
Valkyrie III from the contests for the
Americas cup this year. The pam
phlet is regarded by the British press
as being complete vindication of Lord
Dunrayen and as an unanswerable in
dictment of the Americans. The Sc
rious part Of the publication is that
Lord Dunraven, after months consid-
GRAFTON, records his deliberate opinion
that he was the victim of foul play, for
this Is the essence Of his statement re-
garding the measurements. Natural
Iy, therefore, the press comments this
afternoon is very unpleasant reading
to Americans. The Globe, for instance
says il trusts the Americans will never
again race for the cup against an En-
glish sportsman until they more fully
appreciate the ethics of the sport"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: IF there
Is ever TO be any more International
yacht racing. the New York Yacht club
must convince the world, beyond sus-
picion OF carelessness or partially, that
Lord Dunraven's accusations OF foul
play are not founded on facts"
The Henley authorities are eagerly
anticipating the coming OF a crew from
Yale to compete at the next regetta.
All parties on this side of the water
who are in any way interested in the
aquatic contests TO be decided next year
at Henley-on Thames, would most cor
daily welcome the entry of a crew from
Yale. Failing this, the British oars
men would be pleased to see a crew
from any other American university.
Secretary Cooper of the Henley re-
gotta, when questioned on the subject
by representative of the Associated
Press, said he would be glad to see Yale
have another trial at Henley with the
oarsmen Of the English university.
A LIAR AND BLACKBOARD.
New York, Nov &C. Oliver Iselin
was this afternoon shown portions of
Lord Dunrayen's letter TO the London
Field in which it is practically charg-
ed that the Defender won its races I'M
fairly. He declined to talk upon the
matter directly, saying the entire let
ter might convey a different meaning
than the mere parts OF ii submitted to
him
Il don't even know" he said, that
Lord Dunraven has written such a let
ter. Wait until / know what he has
done, or authorized the making of ,
such statements and then you may be |
sure / will have someth thing to say"
What reply would you make, Mr.. |
1selin, to man who made such charg- |
es ?'' he was asked.
Il would say" he replied with en- |
phasis. that any man making charges |
OF that kind against me IS not only |
a liar but a blackguard-"
Mr.. Iselin emphasized the word /
any" In an emphatic manner as he |
spoke
AS the reporter left his house Mr.. /
1Selin followed him to the door saying:
Now quote me correctly. Any man
who says the Defender won by unfair
means is not only liar but a black
guard. l mean what 1 say, and Will /
be responsible for anything 1 say
