in the hands OF the committee at am.
or am, and whether my letter of the
10th inst. was read at II 40 Pm. or 2;3o
p. M, appears TO me 10 DC matser OF
minor importance
what is OF Importance 10 me az any
rate. is the totally unlustlnaole OPINION
that III coming TO the oeclslon conveyed
to you by my letter OF the ioth INST, L
went back On the agreement signed by
President Smith Tor the cup committee
ana myseE.
You say, we can only regret the con
dltlons you nameu 'nereai as aosoiu.eiy
necessary snoulu hoI haNe oeen So pre-
scented when the agreemnt 10 the terms
was form ulated.
Permit me to observe that 1 named no
particular conditions as lndlspen sable, as
you will perceive on referring 10 the let,
ter; l hola Una. IN any ma!cn ialr leIa
and no 1avor IS a conoltlon preceaens
to any agreement as TO the terms, ana
failing In that' any party mas perfect
right TO wltndraw apseiutely or uncondl-
tionally. The articles OF agreement can
not, and ara not INTENDED co. lay down
nxea ruies 10 meei every tmag,na;ole con-
tlngency. certain CONTINGENCIES nave
arisen, as you are aware. Conhnlng my
self to the SUBJECT OF my letter on over
crowding. known as lar BACK as october
LIST. wrote concerning the dlhoulty OF
inscring clear course; but ga not IN
sist upon any views, because L thocght
the persons responsible should be free 10
take the steps that they thought best in
the matter.
In view OF their failure IN TINS respect
it might have been better. II, IN my let
tetr of the 10th. had absolutely with
drawn, but my desire to sail OFF the races
was great and l Withdrew conditionally
and suggested the steps which l thought
would remove the dlfhcqity; These steps
were not taken, and L held to my deter
mination to sail no more, and in so act
ing emphatlcaily oeny that l went back
in any way on the agreement as to the
terms.
81 did not know whether Mr.. Garfield
and Mr.. Dusk ofhclally represented the
committee when they came to see me
at the Waldorf. L Judged by their con-
versation that they did not, and under
stood from them that the committee had
come to DEFINITE conclusions upon the
letter. l now can see from your commu-
nication that they were ofhcialy repre-
sentlng the commlttee. In that case the
proposal made oy the committee was that
l should Withdraw from the determine
ton expressed IN my letter OF the 10th.
and that should san IN the th!ru and
possibly the maj race on condition that
sufficient room was secured at the start,
and that in any further races my sugges-
ton that the dates for the races and that
the time OF starting should not be made
public should De carried out. That
proposal DID not commend Itself to me.
