 LONDON. Aug. 7.-Secretary H. c. Kel- ly of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club does not expect an answer to the communica- tions to the New York Yacht Club rela- tive to the arrangement for races for the America cup mucn before the end of the week. He realized that a council of the New York Yach+ Club must be summon ed to discuss the matter, and while he earnestly hopes for an acceptance he rec ogniZes that the New York Yacht Club has difficulties to surmount, owing to the members being sC,-uJered on account of the war with Spain and for other req sons.
 Yesterdays cable dispatch was simply a notification that the Royal Ulster Yacht Club would do itself the honor to chal- lenge for the cup if agreeable to the New York Yacht Club, All connected with the MT. Kelly says they will allow nothing to debar them from competing for the coveted trophy, except definite t. refusal 1sst
 There Is every disposition to meet the wishes of the New York Yacht Club. and in the event of the latter lnding difficult ties In arranging for race in 1899 owing to possible Reorganization, caused by the Hispano-Amercan war, the challengers will ask that the matter be postponed for year, and that no other challenge be accepted It seems, however, from pre- liminary inquiries as to whether a chal- lenge would be agreeable that one would be cordially welcomed. and Harland & Wolff are preparing a building slip.
