The herald., 1895-10-25

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The last gen.
eral meeting of the New York Yacht club
for the year 1895 was held today. The
cup com m ee submitted its report, all
of which. with the exception of the fol-
lowing regarding Dunraver's protest
regarding the meas urements, mas already
been Published:
son Saturday, September eth, Lord
Dunraven communicated TO the cup
comm ittee his belief that Defender had
sailed the days race immersed three or
four inc hes more than when she was
measured. Lord Uunraven stated that
he believed the change had been made
without the knowledge Of Defenders
owners, but it must be corrected or he
would discontinue racine.
The cup COMMITTEES ordered re-
measurement. On Sci tenn Der Sth the
yachts were marked as required by Lord
Dunraven; at the same time they were
remeasuied with the result of only one
eighth OF an inch In low water ma-k II
crease of Defender and one-sixtaeDth of
an inch in Valkyrie. AS the result varied
the time allowance only second or two.
and in no way affected the outcome of
the races, it is not deemed n .cessary to
give additional measurements
The following resolution was adopted
''Thav u cup be presented to the own
ers of Defender in recognition of their
usual defense of the Americas cup
recent match, and that cup be also
presented to Mr.. George Gould as an ex-
preston OF the clubs appreciation of his
generous and sportsmanlike action III
putting the Vigilant in commission and
placing her at the disposal of the club.
= LONDON, Oct. 24.-The Post in an edi-
torial expresses similar views to the other
1 Il, i
the challenge for the Americas cup.
Commenting upon the correspondence be
tween the representative of the United
Press and the various persons aggrieved
by its publ on in the United States
OF bogus Interview with Lord Dun
raven, the Post says:
Further explanations seemed needed.
1t is most unfortunate that Lord Dun
raven should be reported in 4 manner as
expressing the opinions belonging to Mr..
Kemp"
The Post further denies that anything
passed between Lord Duniaven and Mr..
Rose, either by conversation or ny cor
respondence, TO lead to the withdrawal
of the challenge.
LONDON, Oct. "a. The attempt of the
United Press to explain its course In
sending out alleged utterances of Lord
Dunraven which the latter states were
never uttered by him,is not meeting with
| much success here, and the interview"
are EN- phasized by the press as bogus.
The main point is that Lord Dunraven
repudates the whole thing.
Mr.. Charles ID. Rose is evidently furi-
| Gus concerning the affair. ana refuses 10
talk to any one on the subject.
Mr.. Henry Mccain ont. one of the own
| ers of Valkyrie III, who. with Mr.. Rose,
| is at Newmarket, was asked by repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press for mis-
| opinion of what would be Lord Dun
! ravens future course in the matter. He
said he knew absolutely nothing concern
| ing the future racing career of Valkyrie
| Ill, as he had not seen Lord Duuraven
since the latter's return from the United
States.
"You know, of course" he remarked,
| THAT Mr.. Rose has Withdrawn his chal-
| lenge.'
George L. Watson. the designer, had a
conference today with Lord Dunraven.
| The 1achtsman today, commenting
| upon the fake interviews of the United
mains for the Yankee pressman located
in London to carry off the palm for lying
| Lord Dunraven was credited with saying
all that the United Press thought he
should have said but did not.'
The Yachting World, abiding to the
| same subject. remarked: Since his ar
rival in London, Lord Dunraven has been
hesejged by newspapers from the Times
downward, and has positively refused to
say anything in regard to the past or the
| future. Our American friends, however,
would not be denied, land on Monday gave
| prominence to an alleged interview in
which Lord Dunraven says very harsh
| things about his treatment in New York
and the action CT the Royal Victoria
| Yacht club. 1t is needless to say that a
| prompt denial of the whole story was
| forthcoming on Tuesday, Lord Dunraven
| denying being interviewed by any one.
Mr.. Dixon Kemp is very Indignant at
the whole matter. He says he did not call
| upon Lord Dunraven with the object of
! interviewing him for the United Press,
| but simply as an act of courtesy. In re-
| spouse to the United Press request he
| gave them portion nf the conversation i,
| iniersper: ed, he continued, with remarl .
| of my own IN the same tenor as those
| published in the Field, and which they
| (they United Press) turned into an inter-
| view Dy putting nv remarks in Lord
| Dunraven's mouth.
Later IN the day Lord Dunraven sent
| to the press copies of the telegram which
| passed between himself and Louis Moore,
| the London manager of the Uniten Press.
| Mr.. Moore first telegrahped to Lord Dun
raven asking his lordship to inform him
| If his disclaimer Of the ''interivew'
| was authorized by him, rs it was calcu-
| lated to do the United Press acme dam,
