It is a great pity Lord Dunraven did not take his defeat more gracefully. Americans have always liked him, as he seemed full of pluck and fair mindedness. The late yacht fiasco, however, has lost him many well wishers, and now that he denies having received MT. Iselin's offer to resail the races, the atmosphere of the whole thing changes. MT. Iselin has given for publication correspondence which he states passed between himself and Dunraven in which the matter of a resail is freely discussed and fatly de- clned. It now becomes a question of ve- racity between the American and the Englishman, the settlement of which is looked for with great deal of interest.
