Sir Thomas Puts Challenge Square Up
to New York.

New York. March 22.-The 'reconsid-
Grafton which the Royal Ulster Yacht
club has asked the New York Yacht
club to make of its refusal to accept
the Upton challenge for the America s
cup may place the New York club in
an embarrassing corner. 1t is indicated
that Sir Thomas will eliminate any
condition from his challenge but chal-
longing with a rs footer. He will enter
race. if it is possible to obtain one
against any challenger from so to 80
feet in length, as provided in the deed
of gift of the Americas cup. Yachts
men express the opinion today that if
this proposition was made the New
York club would be forced to accept
the challenge and if a 90-foot boat was
used as the defender the race would
be so much of farce that American
yachtsmen would be held up to ridicule
1t was reported today that the New
York club might reply to the Royal
Ulster club as early as Monday next
although the regular meeting of the
club is not scheduled until Thursday.
