THE OMAHA DAILY B Valkyrie wanted more room than she then had, steamed about furlously, excursion boats and tugs even further back All_obeyed orders. With the finest chance for a clear and even start that ever was glven for an Ameri- ca's cup race, the committee fired the preparatory gun at 11:10. Defender eased oft her sheets to the full and headed down the line, a beautiful picture, and shook out her spinnaker and balloon Jib topsail as she crossed the starting point. Valkyrie came up from the southward and rounded the lght- ship in a careless” sort of fashion, crossing the line within one second of handicap time, the gun proclaiming the end of the latter pericd, before fixed at 11:22, two minut after the starting slgnal. As soon as Val- kyrie crossed she came up into the wind and everybody knew that she had quit Defendor went on with everything draw- ing fn the light breeze of about five miles an hour over a smooth sea, just the sort of con- ditions that should suit Valkyrie. She rounded the outer mark at 1:26:58, and as she id o0 there was a geoeral ringing hurrah as great es though she had a good, game com petitor. All during the beat home the wind increased in power and as the champlon lay over, sometimes with lee scruppers under, she ‘presenied a slght that made the on- lookers cheer. As she was approaching the finish Mr. Isclin yelled through a megaphone to the committee boat: “Do you wish me to cross the line?' He recelved no answer and repeated the question. Again no answer, 80 Defender went over at 4:04:36. She was greeted with another most enthusiastic sa- lute as she did so. The time taken by the commitice represented that she went over the course in 4:44 With the twenty-nine seconds time allowance her corrected time was 4:43:34 Later in the afternoon an made to see Lord Dunraven. He was invis- fble. His friend and adviser, Rear Commo dore Glennie, said that his lordship had gone away up into the country somewhere, he did not know where. In answer to a question whether or not Dunraven would sail in a race or serjes of races at Newport or Mar- blehead, away from the maddening crowd of New York, for a cup, Mr. Glennie replied that he thought it very unlikely. He hardly believed that his lordship would again sail Valkyrie on this side, though he could not state what would be done with Valkyrie in the immediate future. He said he intended to return ngland very shortly and be had an idea that Valkyrie would do the same. When it was proposed that Defender might B0 across next year and race in England Mr. Glennie made no reply, but turned on his heel and bade the reporter good night. DUNRAVEN STATES HIS POSITION. cup Unn attempt was Committee to Comply NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—The America’s cup committee went into session at 9 o'clock, after having dined with the Kaickerbocker club, together with the members of the re- gatta committee. Ex-Commodore Smith, chairman of the committee, was seen just before the committce met, and in reply to the question what he thought of Lord Dunraven’s act in refusing to sail today's race, replied that as there had been several misunder standings between Dunraven and himself he did not care to express an opinion. Mr. Smith gave it as his private opinion that if Lord Dunraven believed Valkyrie was faster than Defender Mr. Iselin would b willing to race him in any part of the coun- try for any amount from 1 cent to $5,000. Soon after the commiltee went into session the following letter was posted on the bul letin board: ‘““The America’s cup committee recelved at 8 a. m. today the following from the earl of Dunraven: ‘439 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, Sept 11.—11:30 a. m.—Dear Mr, Canfield—I have Just recelved your letter. I regret that being engaged at the time you aud Mr. Bucsk werc kind enough to call at the Waldort ( could not give a decided answer to the propositions made in your short conversation. I have since considered the matter carefully. Your proposition to postpone the start until we have sufficient room is only one way out of sev erious difficulties mentioned in my letter of the 10th, and if no solution can be found to the difficulties [ must adhere to my decision as expressed in that letter. I am fully convinced the committce have done, and would do tomorrow, all in their power to keep a clear course, but under existing cir- cumstances they are powerless. As I told you I would sail if the committeg would take it upon themselves to decide the race tomor- row void if in thelr judgment either vessel was interfered with by steamers and tugs. 1 regret you are unable to agree to that. I regret alfo that the race fixed for tomorrow would not be postponed in order to give the committes ample time to consider my former letter, and I am sorry my letter was not de- livered to you sooner. As I explained to you, I was under the Impression the cup commit- tee heard the protest and pendhg a deci- sion, 1 did not think it right to place the letter In (hefr hands. When I learned this morning that the cup committee had nothing to do with the protest [ requested Mr. Kersey, to whom I had entrusted the letter, to hand it to you. In case you do not re- celve this tonight [ shall take Valkyrie to Sandy Hook lightship tomorrow morning and will eross the line to give Defender a start. I enclose a copy of a lelter I have written to Mr. Iselin and addressed to the New York Yacht club. Yours very truly, DUNRAVEN.' " Al the propositions of the abéve letter were discussed between Lord Dunraven and the embers of the committee at 9 p. m. yester- day. The reply given to these conditions was as follows. “i, That it was impossible to postpone the race fixed for today on so short a notice, 2. That the race would not be started until & clear space for maneuvering was secured. That the committee would not assume the responsibility of agreeing to declare the race void If either vesscl suffered from th accompanying steamers. The committee re- grots that it was unable to send an answer this morning. As, however, its reply would have been made the same as that conveyed verbally last night, the fact of no answer having been made 1s unimportant. (For the commitiee.) JAMES D. SMITH, Chairman. A. CASS CANFIELD, Secretary.” Lord Dunraven tonight mads the following explanation of his views to an interviewel “I am quite satisfied that I cannot, off New York, sail a race for the America’s cup under satisfactory conditions. The situation s this: I do believe that I have a superior boat, I do not beliove that I should be subjected to an fnsult from the regatta committee of any yacht club or from tha representative of any challenging syndicate. 1t was was not my way; I was forced to It. ‘There Is a difference of opinion aboard our boat. It is a simple matter of refusal to sail under existing con- ditions and rules. “I know that I cannot get a show. I saw Haft put up his helm, or thought that I saw it. 1 have no criticism to make upon Watson Ho turned out a good boat. She crossed the Atlantic ocean, and if she could not win it is mot the fanlt of Watson. Watson Is not responsible, and of course you know it, for my etion. Valkyrle s my yacht.” The Atlantic club contemplates an attempt to arrange a race, or a series of races between Valkyrie and Defender for a special cup to cost about $2,000. The members of the club will proposo either one race or two out of three, and several of them are anxious to wager Dunraven $20,000 to $50,000 that the cup will be won by Defender, Dunraven will be allowed to arrange de- tails, If the plan materlalizes, to choose the waters between Sandy Hook and Marblehead and the date within the lmit of October 1, to arrange that the public be kept In ig- norance of the date, and to select rules of either the New York, Atlantic or. Larch- mont chab, the three leading clubs of the country, to govern the race. PROPOSAL Mr. FOR ANOTHER RACE. Race w ¥ Time. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—Upon reliable in- formation It may be stated that General C. H. Taylor of Boston has telegraphed to Lord Dunraven and Mr. Iselin in effect that as the racss for the America's cup had such an unsatisfactory termination he will give $5,000 for the purpose of procuring a cup or trophy (o be contest for by Defender and Valkyrie. Mr. Taylor in his telegram states the races must take place off Marble Dead, Mass., aud that be is ready to make the conditions for the race, aside frem th location, to sult the gentleinen representing the two yachts. Lord Dunraven tonight made the follow- Ing response to the telegram from Gen:ral Taylor of Boston, offering a Massachusetts cup for the iternational yacht race: “It 18 & magnanimous offer, but I can say noth. fug further untll the matter has been con- jered at the meeting of the eup commit- tee late this evening at which I shall he present. Mr. Iselin said: De- “I will ordering the | anywhere, It does not at any time and for anythin lie wholly with me, however.' s NoT e Regatin Glves tle Satisfae LONDON, Sept. 12.—While the tone of the best English newspapers in commenting upon the decision of the cup committee, sustaining Defender's claim of a foul in Tuesday's race, continues to be moderate, it must admitted that the committee's decision has produced a general feeling of irritation among Englishmen., Adverse comments of in- dividuals are heard on all sides. The Yachts- man, In an article on the subject, dwells upon the conduct of the excursion attending race, and says: “The first match could hardly be callad a race owing to the shameful interference by excursion steamers. It seems clear that in Tuesday's race Defender lost nothing by the aceident but was beaten on merits in the heat to wind- rd. With regard to Defender's protest, it is impoesible as yet to form an opinfon, save at it would not have heen loiged by Valkyrie T11. had the cases been revorsed The Evening News says: “The whole busi- ness savors of sharp practice. No one would quarrel with a decision ordering that tha race be resailed, but we cannot stomach a paper victory awarded to Defender.” The Pall Mall Gazette, in course of a long article on the subject, dilates upon British patience and good temper, pertinacity and | unquenchable love of justice, and continue “It 1s not easy to accept the decision, but we hope we are taking it as sportsmen. It is hardly equitable, but, according to the rules of the game, we a pt it and will try again It turns out that Mr. Iselin is a sportsman with the best of us. We shall have another ENGLIS) rA PLEASED.

Still it is the duty of English- men as true sportsmen not to complain or protest.’” The Westminster Gazette says “The de- cislon certainly puts the good feeling ¢ nglish and American sportsmen to a severe test.” The Daily Te'egraph this morning says ““The fact appears to be that Lord Dunraven found it impossible to get justice for his acht with such a mob of crafts about the and he took the simplest way of re- g from the match. This unmannerly mobbing has wrecked the match. In Eng- land such a difficulty would not have arisen, the instilling of good behavier in such mat- ters being strong, but when the sovereign pecple over the water have planked down a dollar for a spectacle they insist upon hav- ing a good look at anybody's cost or incon- venience. We ear there 1s resentment and dlscontent at Dunraven's action, but if the American public ea ot submit to those dic- tates of good order which are elsewhere stronger than the poli they have no right to blame an English ntleman for declining to risk the lives of his crew in the hubbub of such a scene. It is very conceivable that neither the nation nor the owner of De- fender greatly value a victory thus aban- doned to them. But they will be foolish to pretend that the owner of Valkyrie shirked the contest for which the vessel was built. He wanted it, but he wanted it fair, and having failed to secure the necessary pro- tection, he withdrew from the irrepressible rowdyism of the scene ‘The Chrenicle: Valkyrie's people will not risk the lives of her crew among the pitiless swarm. We think they were right. It is better to toe the mark and then contemptu- ously give up the contest until there Is an act of congress to keep the course clear, or until somo step is taken to insure something like fair conditions. We suppose this will end the rather ghastly farce called the interna- tional yacht race of 1895, and probably all Anglo-American yacht racing on the other side of the Atlantic. We at all events can hoast that we can show our American friends how to conduct a great sporting event with decency and order. The Standard: No one can blame Dunraven for refusing to sail under conditions which rendered it impossible that the race should be a true test of the powers of the yachts. The regret will be as great on one side of the Atlantic as on the other at the unfortunate termination of the struggle, especially as it is likely to be a very long time before any Britisher will go to the expense of building a craft to race for the cup when the conditions are such as to render the result a mere mat- ter of chance. On our waters we are read to meet any American craft, the crew of Vigilant and Navahoe well know that they can rely upon a clear course. is re- HE HELPED W 15 CUP. Recollections of the Sole Survivor of the Amerien's Crew. One of the most enthuslastic of the thou- sands of Americans who saw Defender win the vietory over Valkyrie on Saturday, sa the New York Sun, was Captain Henry Hoff- man, who watched the race with a party of friends from the tug Marla Hoftman, Captain Hoffman believes himself to be the sole sur- vivor of the erew that sailed the America in the raca in which she won the famous cup. Captain_Hoffman is a big, hearty, broad- shouldered man, who boasts that he never knew a day's sickness in his life. He has a strong, furrowed face, but his hair and moustiche have not baen touched with gray, nd in guessing at his age one would place him at near 40, although he is near 60. His speech betrays his German origin, but a more enthusiastic Ameriean it would be hard to find. At his pleasant Flatbush home Captain Hoffman gave a Sun reporter a brief account of his life and yachting experiences. He was born in Dantzig, Pruss cember 24, 1835. The love of the sea was in him from the first, and at the age of 11 he shipped on a mesehant vessel. He found that lite on shipboard was not so pleasant as he had imagined it, and when the vessel put in at Stockton, England, he ran away. He soon shipped again and his life for the next two or three years was as eventful as any romancer could desire. He made a trip around the world, was wrecked in the Mediterranean and was carried into slavery on the African coast. In 1850 he drifted to New York. At that time yachting interest was begin- ning to run high in the city, and in the fol- lowing year the America was bullt by Georgo Speers in his boat yard at Greenpoint. Mr. Hoffman was a member of the first crew that went aboard her. e Herman Timme's Seeretury Hurt, Frank Ctawford last olght received a sample of the flls which b:set a man who at- tends an A. P.

In the class B race Wells and Titus did not appear. The sprint was not begun until the crowd had almost reached the turn. Except for the fact that Kiser had got a great lead over Cabanne, who was in fourth place, Bald would have through, but he saw the hole and made a dart for it, creeped through with a good length to his credit, leaving Kiser and Cabanne to fight it out. Tyler and Johnson did not start in the two mile handicap, and Sanger was the only man at the scratch. At the mile and a half mark he caught his sprint, and the time card was hung out for 4:24 2-5, a new world’s record for the two-mile professional handicap In the hour ride Titus began to break records at the seventh mile, and had covered at the end of the hour twenty-seyen miles and 185 yards, beating the American record, but not lowering the world’s record made by Michael two weeks ag Starbuck beat the five-mile professional record, paced by a quad, and also the class B record, finishing the distance in 10:11 1- ‘red Loughead of Ontario reduced the class A unpaced record of 5:05 2-5 for two miles to 4:50.
