Eelfast, Ireland, March 30. A re quest was sent today by cable by the Royal Ulster Yacht club asking; the New York Yacht club for a considera tion of its refusal of Sir Thomas Lip ton's challenge for the America's cup. This was accompanied by a long state ment from Sir Thomas Llpton, with which the committee of the Irish club signified its agreement. The committee hopes that the har monious relations of the two clubs will be further cemented by another suc cessful series of races, and therefore requests the New York Yacht club to reconsider its challenge. Sir Thomas' Version of Deed. Sir Thomas Upton's statement is as follows: "I deeply regret that the New York Yacht club has been unable to accept my challenge. After reading the ex planation given of its refusal, I can only conclude that the challenge and the intentions of the challengers have been misinterpreted. The deed of gift states: " 'The competing yachts or vessels, if of one mast, shall be not less than 65 feet nor more than 90 feet at the wa ter line.' "It must be presumed that the fram ers of the deed of gift intended that some reasonable meaning should be attached to their words, and they could never have contemplated such an ab surdity as a challenger of 66 feet being met by a 90 foot defender. "The deed of gift also requires that ten months prior to the race the chal lenger shall communicate the dimen sions of his yacht, which dimensions shall not be exceeded. If the real meaning of the words quoted is that the challenger Is the person to fix with in the limitation of the deed of gift the dimensions of the competing yachts, and that both yachts are to De of that . dimension, tnen tne aeea at once becomes Intelligible and reasonable. "I submit this is the true interpreta tion of the deed of gift. It was on this understanding tnat I challenged, and I repudiate the idea that any attempt has been made to im pose limitations or restrictions not within the deed of gift. Different from 1907 Challenge. T venture to disagree from the state ment made by the New York Yacht club that the present challenge does not differ in principle from the chal lenge I sent to America in 1907. The 1907 challenge asked for a variation from the deed of gift in order to per mit of a race under the universal rule. No such variation is asked for in this case, and I fail to see that there is any analogy between the two chal lenges. T fully understand the decision of the New York Yacht club in 1907 to permit no variation from the deed of gift, despite mutual agreement of the clause, but I maintain that this has no bearing whatever upon my present challenge. 'The New York Yacht club states that it would have accepted with pleasure an unconditional challenge. The only conditions I ask are those of the deed of gift, for I cannot conceive that the tranters of that- document, after taking pains to prohibit all time allowance, contemplated races between such ridiculous extremes as yachts of 66 and 90 feet. "If upon reconsideration, which I am sure the New York Yacht club will be good enough to give this matter, they accept my interpretation of the deed of gift, I shall be happy to remove irom my coallenge any words to which they object. "My reason for selecting a 76 footer is that a yacht of this dimension repre sents the largest type of cutter now racing in any part of tha world. (Signed) THOMAS J. LOFTON."
