months delay IN the preparation of challenger
The steel mast of the Independence was instanced
as taking more than month to build, and not vet
pelns fully finished. The steel masts for the
Columbia and the Constitution were prepared at
the HerreshoH yards and took similar time The
dllhcules met with in the interior riveting of the
hollow spar were said to be such that the work
could not be hurried beyond certain limit
Judging by the fact that when a similar acci-
dent happened to the Columbia in 1899 the hollow
steel mast was successfully patched. rather
newed, in the part where 1t doubled up. it was
thought that the profess of repair will now be
adopted. In this is is thought that the delays
experienced by Sir Thomas Upton will not be
cessive, the Thorneycrofts could do the work
in their Thames yards, and thus obviate the neces
sity Of sending the pieces of the spar to the Denny
yards at Dumbarton, Scotland

RumOrs We're flying roI.ad yesterday after

mittee held in the morning for the purpose
OF settling the question to admitting the In
dependence of Boston the trial races. a
member of this cimmittee afterward told
friend in Wa-st. that this so. and that
il would favor Mr. Lawson's yacht. This was
about as far as the story could be corrOborated.
though it was said later that another prom-
nent official In the New-York Yacht Club, who
is also member of the same committee, had
practically admitted the truth of the story.
Secretary ]. V. S. Oddie. when seen at the
club late last night refused 10 speak Of the
matter in any way. and it is not yet known
how the club will manifest its Willingness TO ac-
cept the boat.

1t was learned that Sir Thomas Lipton's views
were obtained by a member of the cup commit
tee, who wrote him a private letter, and re-
ceived a private reply In his answer the chal-
lenger is said to have made his views as to ad-
mitting the Boston boat even clearer than he
did on former occasion, when he said that he
did not want any one to tell him. in case he
won the Cup. that there faster boat In
America that could have defeated his Sham

The same member of the committee said that
Mr.. Lawson had also been sounded and that
he would be ready to agree to certain arrange
ments. 1t was also said that the Cup Commit
tee had received a large number of letters from
fellow members or the club, expressing their
views, which may or may not have Influenced
