Nearly an Unanimity OF Opinion Thnt the
First Thirty-two should Qualify.

After the women's Rolf championship at

do away with the side contests, which have

TOMORROW

New York, Oct. 1S.-The next
race for Americas Cup will be
Sailed tomorrow. The result Of yes.
terday's consest will stand as a
victory for .the Columbia, and the
Shamrock will be re-measured
to-day.
The job was begun this morning.
Last night Commodore Kane said:
AFTER consultation with represen
tatives Of Sir Thomas Upton, it has
been decided that the nextrace will
take place on Thursday morning,
starting at the usual hour. Today q
contest will not beIsailed over again.
The race was sailed to finish BY
one of the boats within the time
limit, and that settles it, according
to the terms of the agreement en-
tered into by the contestants. 1t is
probable that if both agreed to set
aside those terms the race might be
sailed over again but nothing of the
kind has been asked Tor, as far as
l know.
Tomorrow morning at 7 O'Clock
the Shamrock will be officially re.
measured by Mr.. Hyslop. This
means that her load water line is
to be .engthed by the addition of
more ballast, or else that her sail
area will be increased. l do not
know which is to be done. l only
know that request has come from
Sir Thomas Upton for a remeas-
urement, and Of course, it will be
granted under the rules"
