DENVER, Colo., June 15 (#).—The Earl of Dunraven, who died yester- day, was known here as the founder of Estes Park, Colo., now the heart of Il | the Rocky Mountain National Park region. In 18756 Lord Dunraven be. came impressed with the beauty of that section of the Colorado Rockies and purchased about 60,000 acres of land from settlers for a game pre. serve. Members of the British nobility, fa- mous scouts and Indian fighters later frequented the Dunraven Hotel, which he established at the entrance to the park.

The fourth Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl will be remembered best in-the United States, perhaps, as the British challenger on two occasions for the America’s Cup. He was also as an explorer, horse fantier, soldier, war correspondent and au- thor, member of the House of Lords and president of the Irish Reform Assoclation. He came to the United States in 1893 with Valkyrie II, designed by Watson, with the hope of lifting the America's Cup, which since August 22,1861, had been held in this tountry. Valkyrie IT was met by the Vigilant, designed and built by Nathaniel G. Herreshoff of Bristol, R. I. In the race of October 7, 1893, Vigilant won by 6 minutes 48 seconds. In the race of October 29 over the triangu- lar courss of 30 miles Vigilant won by 10 minutes 35 seconds. In the race of October 31 (it was for the first time best three in five), Vigilant was sent to windward in half a mod- erate gale, with a full-sized jib set ahead of a reefed mainsall, while Valkyrie II set a smaller jib ahead of a reefed mainsall 8o Vigilant, by carrying too much head sail, was beaten to the outer mark, and would have lost the race but for an accl- dent that carried away Valkyrie II's spinnaker. As it was, Vigilant won by 40 seconds. Made Second Attempt. In 1895 the then Lord Dunriven came with Valkyrie I1I, also by Wat- son, for another series of thres out of five races. Herreshoff built Defender for a New York Yacht Club syndicate to defend the cup. Valkyrie III was a larger boat. In the first race, in a light breeze, Defender won by 8 min utes 49 seconds.
