HALO. vALKYRIE! WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
no compliance with the request we did not feel
justified in starting"
What were the arrangements which Lord
Dunraven wished the committee to maker?
That not at liberty TO tell you. The
committee only can do that. 1t has Lord Dun
ravens letter"
1T may be taken. then that you had no in
tenton Of racing to-day"
ct may be taken. In fact, went down
simply to cross the line in order to make race
for the Defender. That was. OF course, suppos-
ing that the arrangements Of which l have
spoken 10 you about were not carried out. We
found that those arrangements were not 10 be
made. and therefore We went TO cross the line
according to agreement we had arrived at
among ourselves to give the Defender the race.
That we were bound to do In all honor.
NOT INTERPRETED WITH.
"It is reported that you were interfered with
by boats just previous to the start to-day Is
that true?'
NO That was not the reason OF our refusal
rs the valkyrie going to race again in the
American waters?"
mot that know Of"
Then the contest for the Americas Cup is at
an end"
80 far as we are concerned. yes"
But supposing the committee is willing 10
concede the conditions contained in Lord Dun
ravens communication. how will matters stand
them
Il am not sufficiently acquainted with Lord
Dunravens plans TO speak upon that point. You
must remember that we have travelled 5000
miles to Gail for sport in a fair and square
ner. and. instead OF everything being arranged
for pure sport are asked to take part in
circus show. and that we decline TO do most
emphatically."
What are you going TO do with the valkyre
now"
Il have not the fsntest idea"
DO you propose returning to England at
once"
Pretty soon; but shall have few days
needed rest first"
Replying to an inquiry Mr. Glenn.e said Lord
Dunraven positively declined 10 be seen or to say
anything for publication.
When Mr.. Glennie had mounted the gangway
he went 10 the upper deck of the City of Bridge
port where all the party. with the exception of
the Earl Of Dunraven, were seated Here Com
modore Glenne was asked II he had refused 10
answer a signal reported in an afternoon paper
10 have been set for the Vakyr.e by the committee
boat He said that he did not see any use Of en-
tering into any discussion by responding to such
a signal. as it had been fully decided what course
70 pursue in case the Regatta Committee refused
10 accede to the requests made in the Earls letter
ANGRY PEOPLE ON THE EXCURSION BOATS.
The vakyrie and the City Of Bridgeport both
took on look OF gloom. The uncommunicatve-
ness Of the sailors and officers was In no wise in
creased by the taunting shouts of the returning
excursionists. whose disappointment in not seeing
the anticipated race was taken out" on the VAL
kyrie and her representatives There were cries
OF You're no goodw why don't you hurry back
10 Englsnd?' and now and again chorus Of In
sulting remarks. Trouble was looked for when
some OF the more disorderly excursion boats came
by. The sailors on the Valkyre got below and
stayed there as the fourth or Nth load Of jeerng
and angry people came oy where they were an
chored. Then there were choruses OF dersivc
steam whistles, as IL to call the men from their
retreat as some Of the excursion steamers shot
past There was never response from the City
OF Bridgeport. One steam launch went by with
her spars gayly dressed In bunting and merry
collection OF brooms hanging from a number Of
lines that had been strung from mast TO mast
BY this time dozen Of the crew OF the Vakyrie
had come on deck. and they acted much Ike baited
mastiffs. Some OF them shook their fists and used
all kinds OF supplementary language.
II Is said that the Valkyrie will go TO Erie
Basin this morning TO have her ketch rig rehtted.
II was also rumored about the English yacht late
last night that the Earl OF Dunravsn is 10 go 10
Canada In a few days. No verihcauon OF either
OF these ruinors could be obtained.
