LONDON, Sept 2s-Sir Thomas Lin

fusal Of the New York Yacht Club TO

eight-footer. When seen at his country
house today he declared he could not
say what his future course would be

the refusal OF the Americans TO meet

II am disappointed over the refusal Of

The New York Yacht Club has al

have always been shown the greatest
dndness ed consideration by its mem
5ers- Hitherto 7 have been refused

ternational rule I believe I could under
stand the matter better, but chai-
lenged under the newly adopted rule OF
the club itself which has officially char
acterized the ninsty-fOoters as freak
racing machines And 50 I hoped that
they would sanction a real race with
reel boats manned BY crack crews and
.'If the New York Yacht Club wants
me 10 race with a ninety-fOoter. I viii,
Of course. do so. However I viii never
again race under the old rule. II they
viii race under their own new rules

would give Us I'D TO ninety-fOur feet

asked Designer Fife 10 prepare plans
and come h1re for a consultation.
viii never a. an take a freak across the
ocean as IL means risking the lives or

That sounds good 70 them. ny should

freak. and when she ge,S her square

no reason why Sir Thomas should not

All the canvas YOU can put on a 90

course. as yet unknown, but there Is
hope that he will, ard there will be pre-
Sented or Sandy Hook next year the

The fact that yacht owners have the
deciding voice, and that they only can

no question in the minds OF all who
