HMrrB, ObelrmSB London, Deo. it.—The question artslngfrom the challenge of Lord Donraven for another race tor the Ametloa Oon was today the aubjeoto! a aolemo oonoiave held at Marlborough Bouse, over which the Prince or Wales presided, and one or the most omlnent lawyer* In England delivered a solemn opinion on the legal aspect or the question. At three o'clock thl* afternoon the Prince received Lord Danraren, Bur Charles Hall, Q. 0., M. P., and Mr. Rlohard (Irani, seoretary of the lloyal Yacht Bquadron. Id order to folly discuss the present •ttuaUoa in regard to the ohallenge. After a somewhat lengthy conversation it was dually advised by Sir John lull I bat the nag onicers alone oculd not deolde the point as to whether the Moral Yeoht Bquadron should accept the America Oop, andslgn a receipt ror It under ihe >erm* or the new deed of gift. It would be necessary, In his opinion, that a general meollog should deolde mis knotty point, and one therefore will be called form- with. Unfortunately, the meeting cannot be held unlll after Christ mas. The plain aud simple meaning of this la that, un- lets the New York Taoht Olub rearranges the eltn- atlon by at once agreeing that the oup may be held under the terms now mutually arranged between toe clnb and Lord Donraven, thero will be no America Oup raoe next year. Lord Dunraven afterward said: "Pertonslly, I would sooner let the New York Yaoht Olnb, or noma other representative yaoht club In the United State*, organise an.lnlemaUonal raoe, without any reference to the America Cap or the new deed of gift. All I want Is a race of an International char- acter between the best yacht I can take to America and the beat yaclit the Americans can produoe lo meet me there.' 1 A meeting of ihe Amort oa cup Commltleo wu held at Ihe oOce of Ohelrman Smith on Deo. 17 to oonstder the oeblogram from Secretary (Irani, ot the lloyal Yaoht Squadron, whlob gutted that It we* the dootelon of the It. Y. S.'e nag onioor* that the matter In dispute must be submitted to the clnb, but If the challenge H sent was accepted by the Oup Committee, and Ihe Bquadron'* representative won It, the latter would not demand Ihe trophy falling upon a satisfactory agreement aa lo the re- ceipt for It. All the member* or the committee were present, an darter an hoar'* consultation the following cablegram was sent to Seoretary a rant as the result of the committee's deliberations: "Niw Yoxi, Deo. 17,1R0I. "SicRaTiaTOaiHT, Cowes: A* tno America Oop la purely a ohallenge trophy, and only valuable a* anon, we cannot agree thai the Squadron, after having won a match Tor It, may rejeot the otutody ot It, By cable ot Deo. 10 we agreed to accept challenge on oondlUon that tbe Bquadron would receipt tor cop on terms ot doed without condi- tion*. We will wall until Jan. It for an oniolal re- ply from the Bquadron. and fix Ihe lint race ten months frointue receipt or their answer, and will advance date, It possible, latcron. "Jams D. Smith, Ohelrman." Thus, It will be seen, Ihecommlueo adhere strictly to their tonnerdeolxlon, and It now remains for the Hovel YaohtCquadron to come forward In manly fashion and either aooent or Anally decline the fair and entirely sportsmanlike proposition made by a committee who have already generously made con- cession* that ought not in fairness to have been do- mended of them, and whloh, we aro quite certa'.n, Judging from the records ot the past in sporting matters, would not have been gran tod hy onr Eng- lish ooosln* had they been the custodians or an In- temallonal trophy which Yankee yachtsmen were dedrousof aMuylng. But den, ot ooume. American sportsmen are too fair minded to have dreamed of asking eooh unreasonable oonoestloni ror the sake or gaining; undue advantago In the conipellilon therefor. In an Interview after the adjournment of the Oup OommttUM Commodore Smith expressed hi* views In brief as follows: " 1 can not coooelve how, with the committee's cable ot Dee. lo and the explanatory letter ot the following day, whloh were toned over lo the Hoyal Yaoht B<iiiadron—the letter Ming cabled—any oual- longer oonld take exception to the reiiulrenient we haveaUed.

On Dec it the committee made their report, recommend- ing what they call a 3t-rater, and among other things saying: "It has been the aim ol the committee to provide for the build- ing of a class ot yaohts whloh would be fast, and at the same time be available for ensuing.
