MR.. ISELIN NON.COMMITTAL.
Does Not Deny or Confirm Report That
He Has Retired From Cup Racing.

The report yesterday that c. Oliver Iselin,
managing owner Of the Reliance, was done
with International yachting for good and
all created a stir among yachtsinen. Mr..
Iselin was seen al his home at All View,
New Rochelle yesterday, and would neither
confirm nor deny the report that he had
sailed his last Cup race.
IL have heard this report, he said. "and
il have decided not TO figure so much
in future races in defence of the Americas
Cup, or if have not decided. the matter
is so personal that fail to see why should
discuss it just now. This is no time to talk
about conditions that may never arise, and
which, il they should, are perhaps several
years away
The report had it that Mr. Iselin had
told his friends that as soon az the Reliance
was bertned for the winter at City Island
he would bid adieu to the America Cup
contests. Friends of the yachtsman say
this is no secret.
GREENw1cH, Conn, Sept. e-In view Of
the published report of c. Oliver Iselins
races Commodore Frank Tiford Of the
Indian Harbor Yacht Club thinks it appro-
pirate that some public recognition should
be made Of his very successful efforts in
defence Of the Cup.
Commodore Tilford has no doubt that
the various yacht clubs and lovers Of the
sport and the public would be only too
glad to cooperate in showing their appre-
citation OF Mr.. Iselin's talents ard services
To effect this Commodore Tihord has
suggested that committee be appointed
by the different yacht clubs to consider
the best and most suitable manner of con-
ferring on Mr.. Iselin the honor which he

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-31

The wholesale arrest of some of the trolley strikers and their friends yes terday threw the town into a state of excitement that will not die away quickly. The authorities have been saying all along that they have evil dence which would some day lead to arrests and that strikers would be im- plicated. On the other hand, the strik- CTS in their daily statement and in in- terviews have stoutly denied any con- nection with the crimes, and invited the most sweeping investigation. The news of the arrests yesterday spread like wildhre, and brought sorrow into the homes of many families that nev- CT dreamed any member of their household was in the remotest manner connected with the dastardly crimes committed since the strike started. Al though number of the strikers have been charged with some of these crimes, the whole body should not be blamed. They have repeatedly de- nounced violence and rioting, and every fair minded man must give the strik- CTS, as body, credit for desiring to be fair and honorable in several of their demands on the trolley company, and even if some of the members of the union did do the things charged against them. the whole body should not be made to suffer. Those people
 who are going about with sneering and sarcastic remarks, trying to egg men on, should bear this in mind, and not be the cause of more trouble.
