SIEBERT VS N H. STEAM SAW
 MILL

| The case of Siebert, adm, vs the New Haven Steam Saw Mill company, in the court yesterday morning de-
 murrer was to have been argued, but the defendant abandoned the demurrer and will now go to court on a hearing on damages.
 The allegation in the complaint is that the defendant had it's property un- enclosed and knew that the property was frequented and had been for many years by children who used the water front for fishing and bathing The de- fense tried to set up that even if the defendant was negligent in piling up lumber it owned no duty to trespassers. It was this on which the demurrer was based, and which was abandoned by the defense. There is quite a question as to the duty man owes to people who come on his land whether he knows it or not, and it is proving very inter- esting to many who own large premises and find it difficult to keep them enclos- ed,

THE CUP DEFENDER.
Composition of the Syndicate Who Will
 Build the Boat

Composition of the Syndicate Who Will Build the Boat. New York, Oct. 2e.-Commodore Led- yards statement at the meeting of the New York Yacth club last night has awakened a keen interest in the mat
 ter of the defence of the Americas cup
 such as had not been apparent since
 the arrival of Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge.
 That the new defender will be 'sub-
 scription" boat Is conceded, and chief
 among the subscribers will be found
 Cornelius Vanderbilt and August Bell
 mont. With these are associated 0. IL.
 F. Robinson, vice commodore of the
 club; ex-Commodore E. M. Brown, and ex-Commodore J. Pierpont Morgan.
 There are others who are subscribing smaller $10,000 and $5,000 sums, but the full number of subscribers may never be known.
 The syndicate was really started by the action of four of the chief sub- scribere who came forward and guar anteed that they would have a defender built whether or not any other mem bers of the club joined with them in the project. This guarantee was suffi- cient not only to cause pockets to open, but to set the Herreshoffs in motion. They, it was positively stated to-day, had their plans for a new defender ready, and are now hurTying prepara- tions to begin the work of construction without delay, the order for the yacht having been placed in their hands.
 The question of the management of the boat, 1t seems, has troubled more than anything else, 1t being an affair of much difficulty to find any one will ing to under take the responsibility. At the New York Yacht club last night several members spoke of the desira- bility of having Cornelius Vanderbilt himself manage the defender
 August Belmont was mentioned also, but it was said that while he could i'll the bill he was too busy man. And then w. Butler Duncan, jr., who man. aged the Defender so well last year in the trials with the Columbia, was spoken of by everybody. MT. Duncan said he had not been spoken to on the subject, and suggested that no better man could handle the defender than Herman B. Duryea.
 Another yachtsman said: '"rhe names were not made known last night be- cause the amount necessary had not been all subscribed, and the names of all in the syndicate may never be told. The money question is really only trifiing matter, and I understand the Herreshoffs are already at work
