New York. Sept 1.-THE races of 1895
for the Americas cup viii remain in his
tory as the most exciting that ever took
place up 10 this date. Not that the ca
pa1litses OF the boats have been so even
u matched as In some other races. such
as the second race OF The Puritan and Cen
esta. and the big third between the Wig
liant and Valkyrie IL. but In the enthu-
siasm which has prevailed among the peo-
pie from the very time the match was
made. larger fleet Of excursion boats
and greater number of people have wit
messed the two races which have already
taken place than ever before were gath
cred 20 see a yacht race. Even though
Il appeared on Saturday last that the De

Nalkyrie III, on Tuesday the crowd that
went out was as great The interest was
further shown by the over-anxiety OF the
captains OF several boats 70 allow their

beaten demanded too great odds

and. having learned that the decision was
IN the Defenders favor. they were further
stirred up by A report that Lord Duura-

Justly treated. had determined 10 with

other race
That the English party holds the sincere
opinion that they have been badly treated
there can be no doubt. II any testimony
