Its retention, however, oy vlr- j tue of a four to two victory by liar .old S. Vanderbilt's yacht. Rainbow, j 'over Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwlth’s sloop. Endeavour, left bit i terneas, dissension, and some dissatisfaction which may never be j eradicated. It was almost certain that the royal yacht squadron, whom Sop-' I with represented, will not chai, j ! lenge for the cup for many a year. ' , Sopwith himself said lie would I never race for it again. The climax of the race series off Rhode Island coasts came four 'days ago when the British skipper ' declared he had been fouled hy the defender.. His protest against '. ; illegal racing received scant con•sideration from the committee dei signaled hy the New York Yacht i club to decide protests. The com., t mittee did not say Sopwith was, I right or wrong in his contention l ,he had been fouled hy the defend- i er, It merely said that it would I not listen to the complaint because , Sopwith. skippering the great roy- ( al blue yacht, had failed to hoist £ his protest signal soon enough.
