them These amateurs We've OF course. Tner7ber,
Of the New-York Yacht Club. and among those

Charles Fl. w Foster. Mr.. Foster came to New

boat, and also a recently elected member Of the
club for the purpose OF having conferences ON
this point About that time it was supposed IA
be practically settled that Mr. Fosters flag would
float over the Lawson craft in her racing and thar
everything would thus be all right. But after thi,
Mr. Lawson declined to allow the racer 20 contest

II may be said with certainty that legal advice
has been taken. and the opinion IN Boston is that
Mr.. Lawson's refusal 20 allow any favors to hs

for her admission is because he believes his sup
