Investigating Committee Finds Val kyrie's Owner Was Mistaken, CUP VICTORY FAIRLY WON.

Ths famous case of Lord Dunraven against C. Ol iver Isolln and the yaoht fraternity of this ou u try has been decided, and Dunraven has ost. The special committee whloh was ap pointed by the New York Taoht Club, at the request of Mr. Iselln, to probe the charges which were made by ths Earl of Dunraven in a published statement, and reiterated by him In a speech before a number of his countrymen, submitted Its report at the spe otal meeting called for that purpose. The report was a complete vindication of the De fender syndicate and a victory for Mr. Isolln. Every point in the great amount of testi mony has been carefully considered by the committee la its report, and so well has every important feature been treated that It gives a good Idea of the proceedings, even to those who have not time to read the great amount of testimony whtcn was taken in the oase. The committee oonsistnd of ex-Minis-ister E. J. Phelps, J. Pierpont Morgan, ex-. Secretary W. C. Whitney, George L. Rives and Captain A. T. Jfahan, of the Kavy. After carefully reviewing theevidence pre sented in the investigation, the report says: "Upon a careful consideration of the whole oase. the committee are unanimously of the opinion that the ohorge made by Lord Dun raven, and which hRS been the subject ot this Investigation, had its origin in mis take; that it- is not only not sustained by evidence, but is completely disproved; and that all the circumstances indicated by htm as giving rise to his suspicions are entirely and satisfactorily expluined. They deem it therefore, hut just to Mr. Iselin and the gentlemen concerned with him, as well as the officers and crew of the Defender! that the oommittee should express emphati cally their oonviotion that nothing whatever ocourred In connection with the race in question that casts the least suspicion upon, the integrity or propriety of their conduct. "And the committee are not willing to doubt that if Lord Dunraven had remained: throughout' the investigation, so as to have heard all the evidence that was Introduced, he would, of his own motion, have with drawn a charge that was so plainly founded upon mistake, and that has been so unfor tunate in -the publicity it has attained and the feeling to wnioh it has given rise." On motion the club deferred final action until February 18. This was done to give Lord Dunraven time to apologize. Should he fall to do so it was believed that the club would expel him.
