The official reasons for the decision of the New York Yacht Club ware cabled to the Royal Irish Yacht Club this TALKING morning, and are being widely discured to- day. The decision came to most people as a great surprise, but those well acquainted with the inner circles of the New York Yacht Club are saying triumphantly, We know it all along. The action has been ascribed in some quarters to personal differences," and in support it is atated that Mr. Pierpont Morgan and the former commodore, Mr. Louis Ludya d, have not been friendly to Sir Thomas, but that view find is not generally shared.
