London, Nov. 1S.-The st. James
Gazette, which is read largely by so
ciety people and club men, publishes a
long leader to-day under the caption
"Should Lord Dunraven Apologizc?' ~
The article begins by saying. Eng
lish commenters upon Lord Dunrav-
ems statement hardly seem to under
stand the justifiable indignations that
TINS noble sportsman's allegations
nave aroused in America" and adds
the declaration that Lord Dunravcn
must &c to New York and assist the
CUP Committee of the New York
Yacht Club In a thorough inquiry If
the accusations are not proved the
hccuscr will owe Mr.. Iselin and other
gentlemen q very handsome apology,
but If Lord Dunraven, having shot n
poisoned arrow. quietly abandons the
contest we are afraid that most peo-
pie will think that temper and spite
have betrayed him into behaving rath-
Ell badly"

is expressed that private shipyardsi
