AMERICAS DEFENDER.
Yacht Race Against Upton to Be q
Syndicate Concern

New York, Oct 25.-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
The next defender OF the Americas
cup to meet Shamrock II, in August
next, will be built by a syndicate COM
posed of about ten of the best known
members of the New York Yacht club
This much has been learned respecting
the ownership of the next cup defender.
During the past week there have been
numerous rumors ahoat around the New
York Yacht club as to who would build
the boat The majority of these runaors
were to the effect that either Cornelius
vanderbilt OF. Harry Payne Whitney
with Herman B. Duryea, would take the
lead.
While it was generally understood
two years ago that Harry Payne Whit
ney, Herman B. Duryea and a. number
of Newport yachtsmen were anxious TO
own a cup defender and are still willing
to furnish the necessary money to build
such z. boat, it is probable that they VIII
be content to join with the syndicate
now being formed
This syndicate. it is said, is headed by
Lewis Cass Ledyard, the commodore OF
the New York Yacht club, and aSsoc1a-
ted with him are Vice Commodore Aug
ust Belmont; Rear Commodore 9. L. r
Robinson, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John P.
Duncan and ex-Commodore E. NJ
Brown.
Rumor has it that William K. Van.
derbilt, John Jacob Aston and J. Pier
pont Morgan will also have some inter-
est in the next defender, but nothing
definite will be known of this until the
list of owners of the new boat is official
ly made public. w. Butler Duncan, Jr.,
it is said, will be asked to take charge
of the new boat.
At the next meeting of the New York
Yacht club, it is said a full list of the
members of the syndicate will be made
public.

improved. his little body and limbs be
