New York Yacht Club Takes Action
on Upton Letter.

New York. n. Y, March 13.-The
clined Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge
for a yacht race next season for the
Americas cup.
The reason for this action was that
the terms of the challenge imposed
the condition that. the defending ves-
sci shall not exceed seventy-flve feet
in length at the waterlinc. This stipu.
lation would deprive the club of the
right to enter a vcsscd of from sixty
five to ninety feet as provided In the
deed of gift which governs all con-
tests for the cup.
The declination of the present chal-
lenge. however il was stated by mem
bers, did not necessarily mean that no
Americas cup race was in prospect as
the club was i'm anticipation of an un-
restricted challenge for the cup from a
British gentleman other than Sir
Thomas Upton.
Sir Thomas In the past has sent the
three yachts To this side of the water
In vain quest OF the cup against

Already il seems that some of the

sary work. II is considered certain
that some work will have TO be done
on the town hall this summer as the
building is In need of repair
improvements are also contemplated
on the open sewer running east of the
village and some sidewalk work may
be undertaken. The streets of the vii
laGe are in fair condition and
no special work is likely this season.
AS there are cement walks on at least
one side of each street i'm the village,
it Is possible that the sidewalk WORK
will be sacrificed if necessary although
the usual number of petition for walks
will be received from the property
holders.
