Tho members Of the New-York Yacht Club
who were found at the clubhouse yesterday al
ternoon and evening. while admitting their dis-
appointment were not inclined to talk as IL Is
likely that fuller particulars as to MT Rose
action will probably be received with the ARRIVAL
of the next mall The impression seemed 10 De
AT first Yesterday that international yachting Is
in a bad way but later on the members took a
more hopeful view.
COMMODORE SMITH NONPLCSsED
lanes d. Smith chairman Of the Cup Com
mittee. looked up from newspaper that ne was
reading INSIDE down when seen in his Broad-st
office az noon yesterday and said: 1 can
imagine why Mr. Rose has withdrawn his chal-
Ienge after it had been formally accepted. ANY
way am GLAD the conditions we proposed TOT
the races next year had beer printed and all the
world could see how were disposed u tea'
the latest challenger for the Americas cup
could hardly be expected To discuss this matter
until I have had a chance to hear what reason
actuated Mr. Rose In deciding to withdra"
challenge formally sent and accepted. MS puts
lis hack 10 lust where we were When Du''a 'ei'
gave I'D with valkyrie III, without any cnance
for any races in 1896.
Mr. Smith said he particularly pleased 10
hear that the interviews with Dunraven as re-
GENTLY cabled over were not genuine. He thought
that II Dunraven could have uttered the aosurdl-
tics attributed 20 him II belied all that the Earl
acouaintances thought Of him. The eX-comino-
dore concluded by saying: Il do not think that
Mr. Rose could have been dissatisfied with our
conditions because they were not final ana we
asked him to make any suggestions as to changes
that he might deerl desirable"
DO YOU think that Lord Dunraven induced
Mr. Rose to withdraw the challenge because II
was n reflection on him.?
81 must decline 10 express any opinion at pres
ent" was the answer. -
at looks as II Lord Dunraven wants 70 race
next year" was the optimistic utterahce or New
York Yacht Clubman Walter g. Kerr. The chai-
lenge he thought. must have been withdra"n
after the receipt If the proposed conditions ana
ne concluded that the probable reason for the
withdrawal was to be found in the interviews IN
which Mr. Rose said that he would withdraw II ne
found his challenge disagreeabie to Lord Dun
raven THE mutual agreement clause would ad-
mil ~ n race with the Vakyrie." said Mr.. Kerr,
and should not be at al surprised n Lord Dun
raven were to race the Valkyrie for the cup again
