LedyMd's Vie7ss on Challenge.

A careful canvass yesterday OF local yachtsnren
showed nearly universal commendation for the
action Of the New York Yacht Club in refusing
TO accept the qualified challenge of Sir Thomas
Upton for a race next year for the America $
Cup. There was also general feeling that Sir
Thomas really wanted to race. and that he had
framed challenge which he thought would be
acceptable TO the American club, but had been
msinformed as 10 the clubs views II was gem
orally believed that Sir Thomas would not be
disgruntied over the refusal of the New York
Yacht Club TO accept his challenge. but would
soon send another>defance which would mean
race for the cup next in spite OF the
present misunderstanding.
The exact attitude of the New York Yacht Club
IN regard to a challenge for the Americas Cup is
perhaps best shown In the speech which ex-Com-
modore Lewis Cass Ledyard made on Wednesday
night in advocating at the clubs special meeting
that Sir Thomas's challenge be refused. Mr. Led.
yard said:
The very large attendance which this call has
terest which every member of this club feels in
anything which touches that cherished trophy

desire to discharge to the satisfaction of his own
conscience the duty that he has in voting here.
We may have different views of what the trophy

frame stipulations upon which 1t should be

club is pledged to carry out. That document has
laid down any limitations as TO the char
acter of the vessel which should compete for the
that she should be at least of such and
more than such wateriine length. and that she
should make the voyage to the port OF contest

limitations that the deed OF gift has imposed. They
are the only limitations that in practice have ever
been asked for suggested UP to the present time

Of those who were seen to-day would permit them
selves to be quoted
That the New York Yacht Club Is technically

that Sir Thomas Upton would have the sympathy

about a under less extreme boat than that

opinion that Engiish-built type Of boat
could be brought to this country, and who has
recently returned frern Europe stated that II Sir
Thomas would definitely withdraw from the cup
lifting field. there would be challenge from either
an English Scotch yacht club within a few
days. and that such yacht would be built and
successfully taken across the Atlantic on her Own
bottom. The yachtsmen. however. hoped
that the next Cup race would be sailed with boats
of less than 9ofoOt water Iiue in order build

defend the Cup.
Another yachtsman believes that the present
American rating rule had been sufficiently tried
out to prove Its worth and hopes that challenge
will be accepted for eofoot sIoop built under that
rule Still another could how the New
York Yacht Club could refuse challenge under a
rule which on its own books. while others felt
that attitude OF the club bad for the sport.
in that IL emphasized technicaites. instead OF
treating the matter broad basis One yachts
man pointed CT that in nearly every instance
where challenge had been sent. the mutual agree
rent clause had been brought into effect and
rnerous conditions OF the deed itself had been
waived modified.
There were few os those who were seen to-day
who did not refer what they considered a
spirit OF commerciaIisrn in connection with
races for the Americas Cup, and regretted that
anything Of the kind should have come into the
sport.
On the whole. New England yachtsnlen may be
con sidered eager for another for the Amer
ica's Cup but they want IL on a broad basis. with
yachts that seaworthy and which will develop
the highest type OF design and bring out the high
est quality of seamsnship.
