US. OBSERVER'S FATAL ERROR CAUSES STIR ENDEAVOUR CREW FAIL TO CHEER RAINBOW SOPWITH BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED
Newport, R.L., To-day,
Bitter disappointment and resentment has been caused by the decision of the New York Yacht Club Committee regarding Mr. Tom Sop- with's protest against the Rainbow in the fourth completed race for the America's Cup on Satur........... day, and yesterday there was a coolness, almost amounting to hostility, between the two crews; at the close of yesterday's race the Endeavour sailed off without giving the victor her usual cheer.
The Endeavour's continued series of defeats three in a row-has caused a considerable swing in the betting, and odds are now 2 to 1 in favour of the Rainbow retaining the trophy.
"I AM BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED AT MY TREATMENT': HERE”. SAID SOPWITH AFTER YESTERDAY'S RACE, BUT HE REFUSED TO REMARK ON THE ABRUPT DISPOSAL OF HIS PROTEST.
