FORMAL DECLINATION
OF Upton CHALLENGE

disappointment. but also resentment
The best yachting authorities on this
side believed that Upton did not have
chance with a seventy-flve- footer or
with any other boat built under the
conditions of the deed of gift, which
require the challenger to cross the
ocean. They thought Upton quixotic

lenger for the cup. said to-day:
IT only shows that any rotten little

In order to avoid a race"
Mr. Nicholson said to-day that the
additional fifteen feet required by the
Americans would add 100 per cent to
the danger incurred in sending the
crew across the Atlantic in n freak
boat. This type with the increased
overhang and additional keel weight
OF ninety footer. constitute dangers
which he. at present at least, is un-
willing to face. Fyfe. the famous de-
signer, also declined again to accept

minimum limits established by the deed

"They refuse to race on the ground
