Cliiirt; Against llrft-tidi-r'K Owners.
NEW York, Dec. 30. Lord Diuirnvcli
nud Arthur Glenule, his friend, went
aboard tho Umbrlii, of tho Ciinurd line,
Saturday afternoon, nud an hour later
they were speeding down tho bay, home
ward bound. In effecting tho object of
their visit they were thoroughly disap
pointed. Tho noblo earl had failed most
signally to (substantiate ills chnrgo of fraud
agaiust tho member of tho syndicate
which built tho Defender. It was mado
clear that fourteen tons of extra ballast
would havo made a, crab of the cup winner.
It was also mado clear that the trlplo
transfer of such nn amount of ballast was
practically nn impossibility.
It may be safely asserted that Lord Dun
ravou was beaten at every point. Thcro
was not a siuglo statement favoring his
case which was not thoroughly explained.
Although given tho fullost and fairest op
portunity ho failed to substantiate any ouo
of his statements.
Consequently, having seen how tho wind
blew, nnd having llrod tho last shot in his
locker, without any other offeet than n
couuter broadside, the noblo earl packed
up his belongings and sailed for England.
London-, Dec. 30 Tho Chronicle says:
"Lord Dunraven's failure to Incriminate
Defender's owners was complete. Ho may
now In cold blood reflect that ho lias dono
more to breed bad blood between tho two
nations than President Cleveland and
Secretary Olnoy combined."
