Committees to Meet This Afternoon
and Discuss the Nntter-A Decision
Likely to he Reached by Saturday.
SECOND FIu<e disappointment.
NEW YORK. oct THE second race
Of the Cup series. which ended in fiuke
yesterday. will be resaiIed tomorrow. All
the rules. the triangular course OF thirty
miles and the start ut II o'clock VIII oh
tain tomorrow.
If the winds again prove too tickle for
a decisive contest. there is a strong prob
ability that races will be sailed every
day, beginning with Friday, until the ser
les has been decided. II. however,
decisive race is sailed tomorrow the in
tervening day. Friday. viii be allowed to
stand and the third race viii Be sailed
on Saturday. Whether OF not the races
will be sailed every day next week viii
depend upon Saturdays contest
At ali events. a meeting of the com
mittees Of the Royal Ulster and New
York Yacht clubs will probably be held
this afternoon to discuss just what shall
be done
Sir Thomas Upton is very much I'm IA
vor Of eliminating the intervening day.
and, in fact. that suggestion first oma-
mated from him He said. however. that il
was only a suggestion, and that he was
willing 20 abide by any decision that the
challenge committee of the New York
and Ulster Clubs might make.
Among New York Yacht Club members
the possibility Of the remaining contests
being sailed on consecutive days was
pleasing one. Two aukes and one decisive
race thus far is a record that is beginning
to remind yachtsmcu of the drcary sue
cession of fukes that characterized the
Cup races Of 1899. The two intervening
days this year have been characterized
by good sailing brcezes, and this also has
served TO aEEr3vate the disappointment
Of those in charge of the two racers.
which had waIlowed around in the dol
drums on preceding days
As a result of yesterdays race. poor as
II was. the experts say that if Columbia
wins from the Shamrock over triansu-
lar course. she Will have To sail as she
never sailed before. In fact. Shamrock
stock for tomorrow race has taken quite
a jump. While the Columbia is still an
odd-oE f-vorite. SO far as the series is
concerned, there are few who viii give
odds th't the challenger VIII not take at
least one race.
The yachts lay at their mornings inside
Of Sandy Hook this morning and. beyond
the usual work on the sails and rigging,
there was little doing. Both yachts are ht
for tomorrow race.
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, y. j.. oct. ,.
Sir Thgmas Upton this morning sent
letter to the racing committee Of the New
York Yacht Club expressing his desire to
hold races for the Americas Cup in the
present series every week day hereafter
until the series is decided. Sir Thomas
believes that, in view of the huky winds
that are likely to prevail in the neighbCr-
hood Of the Hook during this period Of
the year. and tho consequent possibility
OF succession Of mo race da-s. IL would
be pre- rable q run the races of day
after day so as to miss no favorable
winds such as Mondays and today's Sir
Thomas also believes that a race every
day is not nearly so wearing on the crews
Of both boats aud on the public interested
in the contest as a long horace period
would be.
Z. D. Morgan and W. B. Duncan. who
represent the Columbia on board the
Shamrock during the races. are also high
" IL favor Of holding races every day.
Sir Thomas said this morning that ne ex-
pected a favorable answer TO his letter TO
the racing committee Of the yacht club.
and that race would probably be held
on Friday
