Mr.. Glennie said that his lordsbip had

Where he did not know where, In nm
swer TO a question whether or not Dun
raven would sail In race or a series
OF races at Newport or Marblehead
away from the maddening crowd OF
new YORK for cup, Mr.. Glennie re-
phed that he thought II very unlikely.
lie hardly thought that his lordshin
would again sail Valsyrle on this side
or the water, though he could not state
what would be done with Valkyrle IN
the immediate future.
Mr.. Glennle said he Intended to 70
turn to England very shortly. and he
mad an idea that Valkyrie would do
the same
When 1t was proposed that Defender
might go across next year and race in
English waters, Mr. Glennie made M
reply, but turned ON his heel and bada
the reporter good night.
New York, Sept. 12.-When ValItyrie
was entering the narrows Lord Dun
raven and Mr.. Kersey came on deck
seated themselves. and were soon en-
gagged In animated conversation
Mr. Kersey. on being asked for an
explanation of Lord Dunraven's nc
ton. said that his reason for with
drawing Valkyrie from the race today
had been communicated to the cup
committee. Soon after Valkyrie was
safe at her mooring, Commodore Ar
thur Glennle, Lord Dunravens repre-
sentative, came on board the Asscciat-
ed Press tug and announced that the
reason Valkyrie did not sail in the
race today was because Of ncn-Complt-
ance with the contents Of Lord Dun
ravens letter to the American cup
committee. and which was sent with
special request that 1t should not be
opened until Defenders protest
against the fouling OF the two yachts
had been fully considered and judge
ment announced.
Continuing, Commodore Glennie said:
81 cannot tell you whethar the cup
committee did or did not receive Lott
Dunraven's letter. But the substance
of II was that he would not sail unle.s
h. was guaranteed n ,ourse free nom
interference, Viii n he thinks he has
not had thus far Had we heen rs
Fured that the course would have be- II
kept clear for even five minutes before
TIE starting time we would have sailed.
We went down to the line and acted
honorably. We went across so as to
make Ii a race and then as you know,
we turned. 1t was necessary for us to
cross the line I'm order to make It race.
'Hls lordship at the time of challeng-
ing. as you must know. gave the COM
mlttee to understand that he prefer ed
n course off Marhlehead to one Of
Sandy Hook for several reuso,s. but
this suggestion was not adopted, when
Lord Dunrven was asked this morning
II there was not fair chance he
answered yes, but in reply lie asked
what It would be at the finish"
In regard to Lord Dunravens move
ments Commodore Glennie s9'd he
knew absolutely nothing
Mr.. Glennie's statements indicate
that any effort 10 promote further con-
test with Valkyrie Will prove futile.
