LONDON FIELD"
The indisnstion Of American sportsmen over the
sandeIous attacks on the Defender syndicate whch
have been made by the Earl Of Dunraven. does not
lessen nor are the remarks which one hears as u
this would-be sportsman any more COMPLIMENTS!
than they when the news OF MS grounoess III
situations first reached NewYork. Many members
of the Yacht Club, who decline at present 20 De

statement. printed in THE Field" reaches mere
They have doubt TO the correctness OF 'he teie
graphic report which gives In brief the text OF he
extraordinary document. but they feel that athoush
Dunraver is deserving of consideration at their
hands they should defer saying all That tney lee'
until the paper containing the statement comes 10
hand.
There can be no doubt TO what will be SAID
then The expressions of the individual members
may vary In so far that while some VIII be strong
others will be stronger; but the New-iork ha0"'
club as a body. Will without doubt say something
which will wipe Dunravcns name from It's member

sportsmen.
Mr. IsELIN's STRONG EXPRESSION
c. Oliver Isen. who is placed In false lsht by
the outrageous charges contained in DuhraNehs

cast a suspicion on the honor of Americas cup de-
Tenders as mot only damned liar, but piack-
guard" and If Dunraven, otherwise gum couid

enjoyed the privileges Of an honored guest before
il was known that Dunraven the Lord was simply
a mask Quin the cur he would nave hearu
Mr. IseIln's sentiment app,auded all sides.
c. Oliver Iselin who was seen at his home IN
New-Rocheie by Tribune reporter yesterday
said: Il am not prepared 10 make statement IN

charges because when have replied to some state
men;s which had been published as having come

marks. l shall wait till l see copy OF his -FOUR
column article in The London Field. When know
fully what Lord Dunraven has said or written ana

marks and find that he has charged with any
such conduct as he is said to have done shall GER
tainy reply, and very plainly Any man VINO would
formulate such charges against me Is damned
liar and a blackguard. l want 1t to be understood
that mean what say, and am responsible for H.

II il is true that LORD Dunraven has made the
charges. either he Is liar and backyard or else

the matter thoroughly investigated, and shall not
hesitate to make fun reply to such outrageous
imputations."
WHAT MEASURER HYSLOP SAYS.
John Hys!op the official measurer of the New
York Yacht cub. who was seen at his home, No
Rveryiew Terrace said: Il see no ground for the
charges that Lord Dunraven is said to have made.
He is altogether fool and cannot believe
that he would make such serious charges against
MI Isen personally. The yachts were carefully
measured. Lord Dunraven made no complaint on
that score at the time the first measurement was
taken, and Mr. Watson the designer OF Vaikyrie
