One of the points upon which there was disagreement was the question of towing. The Irish baronet want ed permission to tow Shamrock IV over, as he had the other challengers, and the New York Yacht Club was averse to that. Just what the settlement was will not be known for some days. Another hitch was in the size of the vessel to defond the cup. Sir Thomas wanted at first to stipt: late that the defonder abould be the same size as the challenger neventy-five feet but to this the New York club would not consent It is generally understood, how ever, that the challenger will be
