1T WAS IRELAND'S TURN.
Why Sir ThOs. Liptsn Challenged for
the America's CUP.

the America's Cup.
Charles Russell the bearer of a chal-
lenge from Ireland to all yachtsmen in
America for the Americas cup, who arrived
at Quebec Saturday. as telegraphed to The
Star. will leave for New York today where
he will be the guest of Bourke Cochran.
The challenger is very confident that the
details of the race will be speedily ar
ranged. He said:
1.-The desire to challenge for the cup is
not a new idea with Sir Thomas Upton
Twelve years ago he made the proposition
to the Cork Yacht Club to challenge with
an Irish yacht, but at that time there were
difficulties In the way and the contest was
not brought about"
Does Sir Thomas intend to put his own
yacht into the proposed contest?" Mr. Rus
sell was asked.
NO" he replied. ''Sir Thomas does not
own racing yacht at the present time, but
he has always taken a lively interest in
yacht racing and Is a member Of several
clubs. In fact, he has always been inter-
ested in all forms of sport"
What is his motive for issuing the chal-
lenge at this timer"
Sir Thomas view is this: England and
Scotland have had repeated opportunities
to compete for the trophy and have failed.
but Ireland has had no chance. He thinks
Ireland should no longer remain the Gin
dereila of the family, and in yachting, at
any rate, should take her proper place
among the nations Of the earth. The yacht
will be built in Ireland, and she is to be
Irish, and she is to be built in the yards of
Harland Wolff, Belfast Right Hon. w.
j. Pirrie, the chief partner, is taking the
very keenest personal interest In the mat
ter. His firm are the builders of the White
Star liners"

PENSIONERS LIVING ABROAD.
They Need Not Return TO America for
Exami nation.

Assistant Secretary Davis has laid down
an important ruling relating to claimants
for pensions residing in foreign countries
Under instructions in the pension bureau,
Issued last November, medical examinations
Of claimants residing in foreign countries
have not been permitted and the adjudica-
ton of such claims has been suspended
In view of the fact that Congress had by
special legislation provided means for exc
cutting declarations by claimants residing
abroad and for their medical examinatio
1t was held there was authority of law
for making this distinction. 1t was there
fore directed that all orders or instructions
which in effect suspend or prevent a prompt
adjudication of claims fled by non-residents
shall be revoked, and that in this respect
there shall be no distinction between claims
filed by those who reside in this country
and those who reside in foreign countries.
This ruling has been approved by Secre-
tary Bliss.
This decision will affect about 5000 SOL
diers residing in other countries. The ques-
ton has caused a great deal of controversy
IN the pension bureau because of the order
made by the commissioner refusing to con-
slider claims Of foreign applicants unless
they return to this country and take an
examination before a board of medical ex-
aminers in this country. Mr.. Davis con-
tends that under the law this proceeding is
wrong, for the reason that any man who
came from a foreign country and offered UP
his life for the preservation of this Union
should be entitled to the same rights as n
native of this country. With few excep-
tions the soldiers who fought for the flag
of their adopted country returned to their
native lands because of poverty, hoping to
secure living from their more fortunate
relatives there. These same soldiers are
consequently unable to return to this coun-
try for the medical examination, as pre-
scribed by the commissioner Of pensions.
These examinations, the assistant secre-
tary holds. cen be held under the supervis-
ion Of our foreign consuls with as much Sc
curity to the government as though they
took PLACE on American soil

One of the most curious sights ever wit
messed at a summer resort was seen Sun
day when eleven ladies, all Weighing over
900 pounds each sat down to the same
table in the dining room at Mr.. Wash. b.
Williams Hotel at Piney Point, Md.
Strange to say, these ladies are all of the
same family and are all in perfect health.
None of them are very hearty eaters. To
cap the climax, two of the ladies' husbands
came down Sunday from the city. and they
weighed nearly 800 pounds each. Alto
gether it is about the heaviest family of
which there is any record.

tie. Stevens took four games straight by
good. fast playing and led. 6-5.
1t was now Davis turn and he improved
1t by taking three straight and the Set.
So In these last games his tennis was
superb. his serving, driving and smashing

The second set was very like the flrst
Davis using the same tactics with great
success. He held himself well in hand and
was as steady as the veteran Stevens him
self.
The third set was begun amid L good deal
OF excitement oysr whether Davis could
hold his form. Two games all We're called.
Then Davis took two, making a lead of AZ
Stevens tied the score at 4-all, and after a
long deuce took the next as we'll Davis
nsver let up, however. and played with
very cool nerve. He took two games and
needed but one for the match. In the
twelfth game the score stood lO-30 for
Davis, when he made a superb drive into
oteVenS DacknanQ corner. 1t looked as IL
all We're over, but Stevens just reached and
made a magnificent shot down the line
scoring the extreme corner. Again Davis
needed point to win out and after long
and sensational rally he scored on a
smash Stevens was unable to reach. Score

sharp ball was hit to weighing and thrown
to first. Smith had started after the ball,
and Padden. on second mads a break for
third Farrell threw to third, and Smith
backing the ball, put out the runner
Not second was lost in passing the ball
from player to player, and Smiths good
fielding and Farrelrs headwork were very
much in evidence.
Mr.. Wagner has been severely criticised
for not obtaining new players before the
season ends. The local magnate said Sat
urdsy that 1t is almost impossible to get de-
sirable players just at present, but that by
September 10 he will have a big bunch of
new faces in Washington.
The Senator's two wins on Saturday and
Brooklyn's two defeats yesterday came in
