TIERS CONTAIN.
APPROVAL or THE DELAY OF THE NEW-foRh
YACHT CLUE IN DIFFERING ACTION IN
THE CAsE-NOTEs or INTEREST.

member OF the NcW-lork Yacht CluD was i'''''
discussed yesterday in yachting circles. and a ma
jory Of the members of the club who were seen
of the opinion that the action Of the club was
proper and warranted by the circumstances. NO
doubts for a moment that the resolution OF cap
tain Ledyard TO ask for Dunravens resignation
would have been passed if put to vote. and no one
doubts that the vote that point would have been
unanimous but. with more letters from DunraVeh
on their way. the members think that it would have
been unfair act and that haste in the matter OF
passing the resolution would not have been IN
keeping with the clubs former actions toward Dun
raven. Even with the pressure for fair play
brought to bear them. ten members voted against
Mr. Morgan's amendment for postponcment, ana

had been sentenced to death. and he failed and was
killed in keeping with the law.

In which exceptions taken to the findings OF
the committee and that the other letter. addressed
TO Mr.. Rives contains personal statement and
resignation. This is practically all guesswork
however. and Of those who advanced the
theory could give any foundation for their belief
