THE MTNEOLA'S BALLAST.
ANCHOR AND CHAIN LOST IN GALE OFF
SANDY HOOK WERE REPLACED WITH
EQUAL WEIGHT OF OTHER
MATERIAL.

At the offices of August Belmont, No. % Nassau
ST. 1t learned that Mr.. Belmont who is the
owner of the 7O-footer Mneola. would be OF
town for several days. His secretary said that
he was not in the South and was expected back on
Saturday morning He added that he knew moth
ing about the stories printed yesterday about the
4lineola's ballasting. An alleged Newport inter
view OF October with Captain wringe Of the
Mineola was quoted yesterday. The captain
reported saying that the reason this yacht did
so badly in the last Seawanhaka race off Oyster
Bay that too much lead had been put aboard
before leaving City Island that day. and that the
lead had been put in with Mr.. Bemont's consent
by way Of experiment"
Mr.. Belmont was board the Mneoa when
she sailed the last against the Rainbow off
Oyster Bay. which is the referred to in the
quotation, and he had his representative Vice
Commodore Robert P Doremus of the Atlantic
Yacht Club, who sailed the Mneloa that day
An attempt made yesterday TO find Mr. Dore-
at his office, No. 30 Broad-st., and it was then
learned from clerk that he had been away for
some time his vacation. being now somewhere
in Maryland.

thing had been done board to replace the loss
Of weight caused by the slipping Of the big anchor
and chain in the gale on the day before the Upton

had not been recovered since slipped at Sandy

made to point sail with the Rainbow. and the
behavior of the boat in the contest, from
the committee steamer. fully bore out what Wringe
subsequently stated on the night before the last
SeaWanhaka race
1t was therefore with some curiosity that the
yachtsman referred to was asked the following
day whether the anchor and chain had been re-
covered or replaced in weight by other ma
terial He fully corroborated what had been previ-
ousIy said by Wringe to the cause Of the
Mneoa's loss OF the Atlantic Cup, and stated that

placed by the same weight of other material
