sIPTON'S CUP CHALLENGE.


LONDON. Aug. 1.-Secretary II. c. KEEL
". OF the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. does
not expect an answer to the communica-
tons to the New York Yacht Club. rela-
tive to the arrangement for races for the
Americas cup, much before the end Of the
week. He realizes that a council of the
New York Yacht Club must De announced
to discuss the matter and while ne earnest
ly hopes fer an acce ptance. he recognizes
that the New York club has difficulties TO
surmount owing TO the members being
scattered on account of the war with Spain
and for other reasons.
Yesterdays cable was simply notfica-
ton that the Royal Ulster Yacht Club
would do itself the honor 10 challenge for
the cup If agreeable 10 the New York
Yacht Cub. All connected with the chal-
lenge show the keenest interest and Mr..
Kelly says they will allow nothing to de-
bar them from competing for the coveted
trophy. except a definite refusal on the
part of the New York Yacht Club. There
is every disposition TO meet the wishes Of
the New York Yacht Club. and in the
event of the latter finding difficulties in ar
ranging for a race in 1899 owing to posi-
bic disoTganiZa ton caused by the H.spano-
American war. the challengers will ask
that the matter be postponed for a year.
and that no other challenge be accepted.
1t seems, however from preliminary in
QuirieS as to whether a challenge would
be agreeable. that one would be cordially
welcomed and Msssrs. Hariand and Wolf
are preparing a building slip.
The delegation from the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club, which will sail for New York
on August "A. consists of Secretary II. c.
Kelly. Vice Commodore Maj. r. c. Shear
manCrawford and Mr.. II. NJ. Gpdowny
The Associated Press learns that the real
aninlus of the comment and nlisstatements
of the Field in Its last Issue are due to
the fact that Sir Thomas Upton forestail-
ed another challenge which was contem-
plated by certain yachtsmen, backed by
millionaire probably Sir George Newnes.
The Daily Chronicle published today an
interview with Sir Thomas Upton, In the
course OF which he says:
In the past there has been a tendency
TO underrate the smartness of the Ameri-
can yachtsmen. I do not intend to repeat
this mistake. Everything will be done that
money and brains can do
l say this in no boast!ng spirit but
rather as tribute to the caliber OF the
men we are going TO meet on the other
side. / cannot divulEe the plans because
that would enlighten competitors but
may say that my yacht viii be made In
style In which no yacht was ever made be-
fore. / do not intend to be beaten

A Book of Memories of
 Maruaret E. O'Brien-Davis

The little volume-t that has recently been compiled in memory of Margaret D. O'Bri- en-Davis, and which has been the work of her father and husband, contains sketches, and poems from her pen and the tributes of the press to this gifted daughter of Ala bama, whose death the entire south mourn- ed Her young life is a familiar one, and in this memorial volume there is refer cnce made from the pen of friend who was a co-worker, and which tells again the story "Of sweet and gracious wo- man of great intellect and undaunted cour- age, who more than held her own at the time when a strong man might have tired and failed. The writer says:
 q did not know her as the brilliant wo- man of the salon. nor as the fair one of society; not even as the Daughter of the Household. But I did know her as the newspaper worker, and as such we were in a certain sense comrades.
 s'So far as the newspaper was concern ed our relations were of a confidential na- ture. Notwithstanding the fiattering evl- dences of destruction achieved, which she could not have possibly overlooked as they stared at her from almost every paper which she opened, her pride did not be- come inf1amed. Her greatest delight seem- a Cd to be in anticipating the qualification of her father, when he should learn that she had been equaled to the task to which he had assigned her. In our consultations she once offered with a depreciatng air what might be-" the solution of a vexa- tious question of management. It was the solution, "Woman's intuition," I thought. But next time I was in straits I went to her again, more than half doubtfully. Again she unraveled the tangle. l thought no more of intuition-I knew then I had been in the presence of genius. All this time she was here, there, every, every where, in the building, kepng a watchful eye upon everything. She would stop for a few minutes In the business office. Next she might be up in the composing rooms illuminating that dingy abode of the art preservative by Ter presence.
 l thought I had seen and admired all phases of her mind and characters her in- domitable will; courage as fine as the Damascene blade; tact and fertility of re- source, playful fancy, vigorous intellect, tenacity of purpose, unvarying industry; and above all gentleness to every living thing. l thought had seen this incom- parable woman in all the lights which were wont to play about her. But when her father returned and she had given back to him the charge which she had kept
