Tf -3-r-- yrts: mz RACE GIVEN TB DEFEHDEB Regatta Committee Passes on tlie Valkyrie's Foul. WOULD HAVE WON IT EASILY Lord Dlinruven trill Do attlin Lino To-day, but Excursion limits Mutt Leao ft Clear Wuy "Wanted the Spin Sailed 0er Again All Heady for the Third. New York, Sept. 11. The regatta com mlttce or the New York Tnclit Club ren dered a decision late this a Iter noon sus taining Mr Iselin's protest against Valkjric and awarding yesterday's race to Defcm.'er. This result wasreachc-i alter deliberations and conferences lasting practically all day. As the occurrence was directly under the eyes of the committee and was also wit nessed by thousands of spectators, there was only one decision possible. Every one conversant with the racing of yachls and rules of the read at sea agreed that the British yacht was at fault. Lord Dunraven and bis friends, however, held that his boat was crowded by Defender and that the accident was unavoidable The committee gave each side ample op portunity to state their case, and took the testimony of the captains of each yacht and of others who were on board. Mr. David Henderson, who Failed on the Defender as the representative of Lord Dunraven, and Mr J R. Bush, who represented the New Tork Tacht Club on the Valkyrie, each re ported on the occurrence. AH the Interested parties were "at the yacht club house until late in the afternoon. With Lord Dunraven were Rear Commodore Arthur Glennie, of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club; Sallruakcr Ratscy, II. Maitlaud Ker ey, Capts. Craufield and Sycamore. In Iseliu'sparty were Woodbury Kane.Newbery Thome and Herlierl C. Leeds. THE DECISION. It was 4:30 p. ni. when the decision was announced. It was in the form of a rcpl to Mr. Isclin's protest, and in substance wa6 that the Valkyrie, iutontraventlonofsection 11 of racing rule 1C, fouled Defender. The committee held that Defender allowed Valkyrie sufficient room to windward to pass clear of tb committee boat. As stated in these dispatches yesterday, the Defender gave the Valkyrie plenty of room to cross the line, and it was only by the Valkyrle'sbeariugawaytopreteut cross ing before gun-fire that caused the fouling. The Valkyrie was to windward, and close to the committee boat end of the line. Bbe was running freer than Defender, and was leading slightly. She was lapping the committee boat and going toward the line at a pace that would probably have carried herover before tuetiffual. To avoid this she bore awny to leeward and rased out on her sheets In order to pill the wind and check her headway. The change of course brought her within b"lscuit toss of the American boat. The latter held her course. The British skipper, to avoid a collision which seemed inev itable, luffed up and Valkyrie's boom did the damage to Defender. Me violated the rules by bearing away, and by failing to keep clear of the De fender, a jacht close hauled such Is the verdict of the committee and also of all competent judges on the attendaut fleet. Capt Craufield, of the Valk-jrie, holds that the fault lay with Capt. Haff, of tbe Defender, and insists that he could sail no closer to the end of the line without fouling the committee boat. DUNRAVEN" WILL RACE. The committee endeavored t" bring about an agreement between the two yachts to rcsail the race, but each preferred that Judgment should be passed on the protest. Lord Dunraven left the club house after the hearing. He declined to talk. Messrs Kersey, Glennie and Ratse, of the En glish contingent, were cqvAIly reticent. After the long session of the regatta com mittee was ended Mr. Griunell, one of the members of tbe committee, was asked If there was any question thatLordDunrarcn would race to morrow , in view of tLe pub lished report that he would not do so if the decision should be adverse to the Valkyrie. "No," replied Mr. Grlnnell. "He ac cepted the decision as any true sportsman w ould. He did say, however, that he would not race unless the course nas kept clear of excursion boats. Some of these boats behaved very badly yesterday, and Lord Dunraven was very eiupbaticiu his protests against them." Tbe Defender's cracked topmast and itarboard spreader were taken down. Thc horn of the Epreader was broken en tirely off, while the topmast had a split in it about one-third of the distance up from tbe mainmast head. Another spar to take Its place has been brought to the basin. It Is not a new spar, but one made for the Colonna. Capt Haff said It would answer tbe pur pose all right. It weighs 400 pounds less than the old stick. The damaged spreader was also taken down. Its overboard end looked as though It had been chawed off. The Defender's waterllnc will not lie re measured, but the Valkjric'b Xill. Eight teen pigs of lead, weighirg about one and one-quarter tons, were removed from ber told to day, and Ehe will set higher In tbe water. LOYAX,LY"ACCEPTED. fcnlNli Papers Say tho Regatta Com mittee's Decision Must Stand. Loudon, Sept. 1 1. The Graphic coniraent toguponttiedecistunoftheregatta committee on Defender's protest, says: "Much as every Briton will regret tbe de cision, the verdict uMbe committee will be accepted, no less loyally by the public than by Lord Dunraven himself. The owner of Valkyrie Is so thoroughly a sportsman In tle only true Fense of the term, that bad the protest not been sustalnedbewouldprobably have asked permission Tor the race to be sailed over so as to win, if win he might, without even the Imaginary assistance ot an accident. He Is not the man to throw mway no w a remote chance of winulng the cup because a committee of American gen tlemen have held- his yacht to be in the wrong." Toe Times says: "It was thought the foagmesl might go against Valkyrie, but k wes not anticipated that tbe committee Veald emora than order a resall. That issue most of us here would have desired, and It would also have met the wishes of our sportsmanlike kindred in America. It Is, however, not quite clear whether tbo committee has power to order the race re sailed." The Standard says:"'Tho Judgment of the committee will be accepted without de mur. They must be credited with a single hearted desire to decide the question upon Its meritsjtA review of the evidence by public opinion would bo futile and uncivil. The laws of sport are Inexorable and from a technical point of view we suppose tho committee had noaltcrnativeopen to them." The Yachting World In Its first leader on the subject written before thee decision, says: "Two races have been sailed. The Valkyrie lost one actually and the second virtually. Whatever may be the committee's verdict, it Is Impossible to doubt that the American champion achieved a moral victory." FROM BATTLEFIELD TO PARK Exercises Which Will Make This Change at Ohickamauga.

Pledge From tho Company Induced Judge Kimball to Continue The Times Cao FactH as to t he Victory. Evidences of the Game of Delay Played by the Syndicate. , What is known as the case of The Times against the trolley was continued for ten days in the police court yesterday morning on the written pledge to the Commissioners by Mr. John IUdout, attorney for tho Trolley Company, that tbe poles on New York avenue would be taken down within that period. The proceedings were very brief, but efrcctive. Acting Prosecuting Attorney Mason Richardson was ready to go on with tho case In the morning, but be received in formation during tbe session of tbe court ot the pledge sent to the Commissioners. . Immediately thereafter, having had a short conren-nce with Mr. Uidout, alter ney for tbe company, Mr. Richardson announced that botb sides bad agreed to the continuance for ten days. Mr. J. II. Ralston entered a protest against this deposition of tbe case, tbw specific grounds for the continuance not having been stated In open court. Judge Kimba'.l beld that the matter was one entirely for the District an! the attorney, and tber' that incident ended Alter the proceedings iir Tl-omas said that the continuance was granted in order to give the company tbe ten days In which to remove the poles. Commiss.oners Powell and Truesdell de clined to ber Interviewed oi the circum stances which led up to tbe continuance. VICTORY TOR THE TIMES. A complete and ureqnlvocal victory must be credited to The Times for the result of the case against the Eckington and Soldiers' Home Electric Railroad Com pany, which was disposed of yesterday morning in the police court. This Is. therefore, the time for a little Jubilation, self-laudation and retrospection. It was published yesterday that certalD officials out or the charity and comity between newspapers and officials bad congratulated tbe Star, tbe twinkling Star, on the result of Its consistent fight against the trolley. Tbe "Star's fight .against tho trolley" is one of the standipg Jokes at tbe District building. Bat what are the facU? On July the lsttheexteusionot time (two years) for this coaiiiany to take down the poles expired. The Commissioners, with out any promises from Mr.Ne wbold to assist, tliem to do their duty, Jumped Into tbearena with the buttering ram to knock the poles out. The company sought to enjoin tflem, but Justice Bingbam said the company TO" not entitled to au injunction and the company apiiealed from tile order dis solving tho injunction. What old the btar then in continuance of ot its "good tight" on the officials? Why, the Star did nothing, aud the ullklals did less. What did The Times.do? It went t6 its attorneys aud Mr. F. II. Sfdduns' opinion was published that the Commissioners and attorneys were sleeptug or ignoring their tight to proceed, uoiwiili-tanalng the coni luuy's appeal from Juage Blugtium. which mould not legally have been granted. The Times persistently obtruded tnis racton the attention u the Commissioners and their attorney. Theu the Star fell In line with ThcTlmes andsaidihatthecaseoughttobs pushed. WORSE THAN A BLUNDER.

This badly scared and rattled the company and President Newbold began to tell the court and Coramlsiioners, his company be luguiKtersenlenee, thatlf they would do cer tain ttuih-s or permit uhn to do certain things he would obey the law. There Is absolutely no other construction to b p.it on the posi tion or the btar and the trolley company. One Is tbe "anti-trolley paper" ana Mr. Newbold Is the trolley champion and they both boast or tbe same pollc They agree, but the olliciais humorously tell a Star re porter that I..4 paiier Is really righting the trolley aud o.-iit to be awl hereby la con gratulated o , right. Berorp al- .uls happened, or course Mr. Schoep, had appealed ireni Ihe police court conviction on Habeas tirpus proceedings. This was, or course, to give tue cornpauy another "reasonable time' to take down the poles. uialdid tbcStardo?

It thought that there might have been more than one cf.Iored nelson under the Cord Of wood, and It determined to smoke them all out. It sent a rcprccculalive to th assistant District attorney to get out an Information. The attorney granted l cheerfully. What did the Star do? Not a thing but come right up after The Times and began to do that righting the officials refer tv with such reflnemnt of sarcasm. NEWBOLD'S HAND FORCED. All of a sudden, when the determination was evident that the case would go on, Mr. Newbold comes over from Baltimore and makes certain promises through tho Star. It is rather a curious fact that even after the publication of these prom ises in the Star, tbe attorney for the prosecution goes on with the case. This shows v. hat cirect that interview had on the Commissioners. Mr. Ridout said In open court that be Intended to move for a continuance ot The Times' ense until October. This did not look to the Com missioners or tbe prosecuting attorney like thev would take the poles down in ten days. The Times" case was only stopped, therefore, at the "request" or Mr. Ridout, as will be seen by his letter, as follows: ir Mr ladotil's letter means anything at all It is that ir The Times cai is dererred for ten days the poles will come down in tbe meanwhile. That is ail there is in it: that Is why Tho Times can corgratulate itself on tli- event. So laras the rews in the result is concerned tbe 8tar jcterday dehbcrrvcly falsified the record. Yesterday it fald: "This important decision was fore shadowed in the Star yc,tsiVy,' that is Tuesday afternoon On 'luesuay morning The Times published this: "The rumor, which Is tractd to tbe de liberate statement of a h'gV olficlal. Is that the trolley poles on Ntw Ycrk nvenuo will 'come down' b(Xoe n tew days be cause they will be taRen den vi et armls' by order or the Conimbsioi.ers. In this connection It is pleasing to note that every time The Times takes up thisquestion there is a sudden expression oTdcsire to do some thing -.that ought tu Lave been done pre viously." SOMETHING HAD TO COME. It is rot dilllcult to ULderstand that wita this condition of affairs, the direct con sequence of The Times cate, confronting the company, that Mr It'dout should hava written his very scarry letter, in which he actually proml'cd the Commissioners that the company would obey tne law It is worthy of role t5at the Star says that the Ccmmlssioiicrs said that they con sented to a continuance on the ground of tbe promises of Mr. Newbold. Some of tha cards in this card house don't fit in their places. As a matter of fact. Mr. Truesdell said that he was opposed to further prose cutions on accouut of a side remark of Judge Cole.
