as skeptical OF any results during the
day, but Mr.. Iselin pointed out that they
had until O'clock 10 whistle for a
breeze. The racers were already at 9:1C
TO take tow out 10 the starting line,
but did not begin 10 move, waiting 10 see
II the committee boat would stop on its
way down.
LOST IN THE MIST.
Shortly after nine O'Clock with no COM
mittee boat in saght. Reliance took line
from her tender and started out OF the
Hook for the lightship and the Shamrock
took hne from the cruiser. few min
utes later.
Ten minutes after the two yachts
rounded the Sandy Point of the Hook.
they were lost 70 view In the mist.
Finally the two yachts were taken out
TO the hghtship and the committee boat
was soon on hand.
After a dreary wait the race was called
off for the day at 12:35.
SIR THOMAS DENIAL.
Persistent rumors were abroad last
night and this morning. that Sir Thomas
Upton had made two important asser-
tons:
F1rst-If theres was any chance for
Shamrock III. to win he would depose
Captain Wringe and put the yacht under
control OF Mate Bev1s, and, second. that
Shamrock was found too long after her
speedy trails and that IN bringing her
up TO the proper measurement she had
been stripped too much as to lose her
speed.
Sir Thomas was told of these rumors
this morning and he said with unmis-
takeable emphasis:
II am going TO reiterate most strongly
what l have said repeatedly. 1 have no
criticism TO make OF Captain Wringe.
He has done his best for me- II / should
build another boat and come over here
again the captain of IL would be Mr..
Wringe, and let that be his commenda-
tion. These stories came from people
who visit me on the Erin and make their
own criticisms. IL / don't dissent they
sent TO the view they themselves have
asserted.
Now, as 10 the second rumor, I will
not deny It. 1t is not worth denying.
Shamrock was built for me in good faith,
full as much so as was Reliance for Mr..
Iselin. Up TO the time OF the first race
/ thought, and others thought with me,
including many experts that have a fine
boat. Reliance Is better ! could not
know that before the race, or else why
race? l have a perfect faith In my
desiger. my captain and my crew and
we have all done and are still doing our
best / hope this may settle this vexa-
tious controversy. OF course / cannot
stop criticism, but do wish that adverse
criticism of my fellow workers and my
boat made by outsiders would not be
credited to me because l stand by and
do not make vociferous dissent"
