Newport, Sept. 12, Mfr. Vanderbilt, the skipper of the yacht Enterprise, which is to defend the America Cap, has issued the fol- lowing message to Britain: "It seems fitting on the eve of the International yacht races to state that the crews of both yachts are tuned to the highest pitch and are ready for the starting gun.

Experts are divided to the chances of the rival craft, both of which have given great satisfaction on trials, but the general opinion is that Shamrock may prove the speedier of the two before the wind and the Enterprise sailing up the wind.

Mr. Heard will be at Shamrock's wheel to-morrow and Mr. Harald Vanderbilt, one of a syndicate of American sportsmen, who own the Enterprise, will be the defender's helmsman.
