HAS NOT YET GIVEN UP HOPE
He is Emphatic in His Determin.
alton Not to Challenge Un-
der the Old Rule.
Declares He Conformcd With the Deed
or Gift Of the Americas
Cup.

London. Sept 26-sir Thomas Liuton
is bitterly disappointed at The refusal
OF the New York Yacht club to accept
his challenge for another series OF races
for the Americas cup. Sir Thomas
said he had been led 90 be-
lieve that IL he challenged UNI
der the universal rule for races
in the United states there was every
possibility Of his challenge being fa-
vorably received. He added however.
that he had not given mp hope Of
sending a yacht 10 Sandy Hook. in 1905
and already had telcgraphed to William
Fife. the designer 20 come To- London
for a consultation. There was hut
one thing which Sir Thomas was en-
phatic about and that was that he
would not challenge under the old rule
one reason Tor this is that there Is no
designer Of note I'm Great Britain which
includes both Fife and Milne. who viii
design a boat similar TO the previous
shamrocks They say that TO do so
would nccessitate the production OF
even greater freak than those which
have already gone TO defeat Besides.
the danger OF sailing such boat across
the Atlantic must be taken into acc
count and Sir Thomas is not prepared
70 again risk the lives Of men i'm such
q venture
PREPARED TO CHALLENGE.
Sir Thomas however. authorized the
Associated Press today TO say that he is
prepared to challenge with a sO-foot
boat under the New York Yacht club
rules
In sending the CHALLENGE" said Sir
Thomas 4 conformed with the deed
OF gift Of the Americas cup. which says
that sloops must be over So feet on the
water line and under 20 feet. ad-
hered in this respect to size. nissruuch
as the boat I challenged with would
have been about &c on the water line.
This also conforms with the New York
yacht clubs rules for the class j boats.
i am prepared. now that they have
declined 70 accept my challenge for this
class OF boats, TO enter g0-foot boat
under the New York Yacht club rules.
There Is no class expressly defining
that class. except that class II. provide
Ing for boats Of So foot rating is capa-
bic OF producing boat up 20 "a feet
on the water line"
SIR THOMAS EXPLANATION.
Ia explanation OF his action in chal-
ienging under the New York Yacht
clubs new rules, Sir Thomas said:
international rule, which applies 10
Great Britain, France Germany. Spain
and Portugal, e. different IRON. the rule
now existing in the United states. which
Is known as the universal rule aud
which has been IN use DO America for

When George Sheets ceased to he

timothy feed for city horses from
timothy land owned oy the city.
Up Pariey's canyon there are lucern
fields, of good and poor quality and
timothy land from which tn previous
years the harvest has gone TO feed
fire department and street department
horses.
THAT Is THE QUESTION.
What is being done with the timothy
and the luceru this year is tho ques-
tion. At q recent meeting OF the city
council O. proposition was put iu hy

was drawing AN the while for safe

And that is not all. Tile luceru was
