1T LOOKS AS IF THERE WOULD BE MORE
THAN ONE CUP DEFENDER
A SYNDICATE COMPOSED OF W. X. VANDERBILT
c. o. IsELN AND r. II. MORGAN WILL
BUILD ONE-MR. GOULD MAY ORDER
ONE AND ANOTHER SYNDICATE

ONE AND ANOTHER SYNDICATE
MAY RE FORMED.
In spite OF the hard times and the general lack
Of money which rich men can invest in cup
defender It appears. after all. that the only com
motion in the NewYork Yacht Club in regard to
the building of cup defender IL caused by
generous rivalry among the members as to VINO
shall have the honor OF building a boat to de-
fend the trophy. The outcome Of all this was a
bulletin posted by Vice-Commodore Brown last
night in the New-Yorl Yacht Cub, saying that
Il cup defender would be built By W. Is. |ahder-
bilt, c. O. Iselin and r. ID. Morgan. ana that MI
Isen would have charge of the syndicate. This
assures one cup defender. and she Is 10 DE pu'i'
by the Herreshoffs. 1t does than that, for It
makes "A surety Of one, If not two more poa's u
be built for the trial races 1t is an open secret
in the New-York Yacht Club that George D.
Gould was anxious to join this syndicate ana
that August Belmont was not averse To coming
in.
A strong feeling against Mr. Gould ueV''oPeu
at the last meeting Of he club. Mr.. Gould had
preyiously announced his intention Of being
member of a syndicate and offered TO furnsh NJ
least half the money necessary 10 build cup
defender This announcement was looked upon
hv certain members OF the club as an attempt on
Mr. Gould's part to win too much glory ana Tor
som, reason or other the generous desire OF MT
Belmont was also looked upon askance. Inc
result WAS that when the official result OF the
formation OF what has been known as the Brown
syndicate was announced last night. there was
not universal satisfaction.
Vice-Commodore Brown Is slated for the next
commodore OF the club and 1t was natural that
the work Of the formation of syndicate shouu
be placed I'm his hands AS he has JUST pous"'
