London. Nov. 1.-THE St. James Ga
zette. I'm an article on the Dunraven-New
York Yacht Club controversy, says it -
not surprising that Lord Dunraven's
pamphlet has raised a storm of indigna-
tion in America, adding: His charge OF
foul play is entirely gratuitous It is to-
tally unworthy Of any good sportsman to
make such a charge now. when no in
quiry Is possible. and il is exceedingly dis
creditable.
While Lord Dunraven was in America
we We're induced TO believe that he had
been rather shabbily treated. but his
statement shows that there is anot hey. eida
10 the question. The officials Of the New
york Yacht Club behaved throughout as
gentlemen and sportsmen. They could
not change the conditions of the race, nor
could they drive the public off the hign
seas; but II the accusation brought by
LORD Dunraven is untrue and we de-
cline TO credit II without further PROOF
this manner OF making IL will have sue
ceeded not only in stopping all Americas
cup contests, but in making it very diff
cult Tor any yachtsman with a particle
OF sselt-respect to run against the accuser
in the future"

syndicate continued to be discussed In
