New London, Conn, Aug. THE
New York Yacht club, learning through
a newspaper source that the Shamrock
was being towed, tonight issued the
following statement to The Associated
Press: "In relation to the statement
that the Shamrock had been reported
in tow Of steamer in light order off
Tuskar, and as such action is regarded
as in violation of the deed Of gift and
the conditions governing the match for
the Americas cup, the officers of the
New, York Yacht club desire to state
that some time since communication
was received from representative of
Sir Thomas Lipton, announcing the in
tention of the latter to take southerly
course for the Shamrock, and asking
whether in view of the probability of en-
countering calms on the proposed route
If 1T would be deemed a violation of the
match if the Shamrock availed herself
of the presence of a steam yacht to be
towed during calm spells. in view of
the fact of the entire good faith in
which the request was made and that
the towing would subject the vessel to
greater strain than the sailing, and
could therefore be not made a pretext
of evading the conditions of the deed of
gift that the challenger should proceed
on her own bottom to the port of con-
test. the officers Of the club sent an an
SWer to the effect that the New York
Yacht club would take no execution TO
the Shamrock being towed during the
calm intervals between the breezes. Its
action in consenting not to object to
such course should not be regarded
however, as precedent and is appli-
cable only to this particular case"

HEALTH OF ADMIRAL DEWEY
SAYS HIMSELF 1T HIS NOT BEEN
PERT GOOD.
Substance of Letter in Answer to
PhilndeIphia's Offer of Reception
Philippine Commission WilI Have
First Call on His Time-Arrangements
for the Washington Reception.

| Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Mayor Ash
bridge to-day received from Admiral
Dewey a letter in which the hero of
Manila regrets his inability to definitely
accept a reception on the part of this
city. In his letter Dewey says: 1T is
with regret that l cannot at this time
accept the offer of a reception, as l do
not feel it would be prudent to make
any engagements for the future. My
health has not been very good. Beside
the Philippine commission, Of which L
am still member, will probably meet
in Washington shortly after my return.
In that case l should feel bound to
break all engagements"
Washington, Aug. 7.-Charman Moss
of the committee of one hundred hav-
ing in charge the reception to Admiral
Dewey on his arrival in Washington,
which includes the presentation of the
sword voted him by congress, has re-
ceived from the admiral a letter dated
Trieste, July %, approving the plans
under consideration for the affair. In
this letter Admiral Dewey says: Il
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the Sth inst. in
forming me of the arrangement pro-
posed for my reception in Washington,
also of a telegram of similar import
sent by the secretary of the navy l
am deeply sensible of the high honor
your committee proposes to confer up
on me, and have telegraphed to the
secretary that the arrangements ap-
proved by the president and by him are
entirely agreeable to me. ! note with
pleasure that it is proposed to make the
exercises as simpl as possible 1t is i'm
possible at this time to fix the date OF
my arrival in Washington, but will
not fail to give you the information on
that point as soon as possible
An interesting historical fact dating
back to 1873 has come to light. Admiral
Dewey, then a commander, was IN
charge of the vessel on March is, 1873.
The vessel was on surveying duty when
the Virginius trouble was precipltated
and war with Spain seemed imminent
Commander Dewey wrote to the de-
partment asking that in case war was
declared he be assigned to the duty OIL
capturing Manila. The peaceful settle
ment of the claim with Spain avoided
the necessity for hostile denomination,
but the fact is that the officer had his
eve on Manila over quarter OF CEN
turv ago. A search will be made for
the letter in the files Of the navy depart
ment and if found it is expected an et-
fort will be made by the citizens COM
mittee to have it reproduced as SOU
vepir of the reception.

Keeping Irish Potatoes.

We have kept the red Rose potato
from the time of digging in the spring
until October and they are as excellent
in flavor as ever. They were kept in a
rail pen with a light roof and built
about three feet from the ground. The
floor was of rails. The potatoes were
laid about six inches thick on this
floor, then about six inches higher was
another layer Of rails and above this
more potatoes and so on until the rail
pen or house was full. Very few of
the potatoes rotted. New tin put
smoothly around the posts will keep
