AWHILE.
Committee, However, is Going Ahead
With Arrangements For the In
uuiry-4a "Good Time" Coming.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Although the
visit of Lord Dunraven to New York
has been postponed for time, the
special committee of the yacht club
appointed to investigate the charges
made against the Defender people, are
going ahead with the arrangements
made for the inquiry demanded IN the
case. The offer of the house COM
rplstee of the club to set aside a por-
ton of the model room for the hearing
has been accepted by the special COM
rntttee as the best place for their
meeting, considering all the circunl-
stances and the first session of the

D. m. It is NOT possible for Lord Dull
raven to be here at that time, but

plans agreed upon by the committee
to be changed cannot, OF course, now
be told, yet it seems unfortunate tnat
the disaster to the Germanic should
have delayed the arrival of the Brit

cially before the committee, the rest Of
the work will be tolerably clear.
