NEW YORK. Oct. l6-For the first time

Lord Charles and Lady Bercsford, Chev-
alier De Martins, Hon. and Mrs. J. W
Pairie, DR.. MacKay and Il few others Of
sir Thomas most intimate friends. The
reason for this was twofold. one being the
fact that the lowering skies and damp chill
winds prevented many Of the ladies who
have heretofore enjoyed the hospitality Of
Sir Thomas. from V"uturing on the "Trip.
and another Is found in the fact that Sir
Thomas himself. despaiyinG "r a race Ii

Barr sail the boat. There is no reason yet
for the Shamrock's supporters TO despair.
The Times says: sir Thomas Upton
is FAR too good sportsman To be G.s-

surprising for the Americans.
Our correspondent says the Columbia
won fairly and sqUarely on her merits,

The Du' lin papers reflect the tone OF dis

consolation from the fact that there are

Daily Independent says:
Nothing could be more excellent than
the handling OF the Shamrock, but the

The Freemdn's Journal says: The de-
feat was a pity" but declares il has not

to win the cup and expresses satisfaction

The Dublin Daily Express expresses the

1t was fair and square race said
he to an Associated Press representative
who saw him on board the Erin. We
were beaten fairly. No two boats ever
sailed better race, and they were equally
well handled. as far as I could see"
Speaking OF the Columbia. he said: she
IS fine, fast boat and she WAS splendidly
sailed. We gave her three rousing cheers
and her people responded right heartily.
Mr.. Iselin and those associated with him
on board are honorable gentlemen and l
wish 10 say that il Is pleasure TO sail
against such competitors"

well handled. I have 10 complaint 10 make

have another race tomorrow, l hope and

LONDON SORELY DISAPPOINTED
This Mornings Papers All Admit Fair
Defeat, but Do Not Give
ID Hone.

LONDON. Oct. i7.-Partly owing to the
diminished interest after so many abortivc
attempts, and partly to disappointment
over the result of yesterdays race for the
Americas cup. London's demonstrations
were rather tame. Great crowds had col
lected on the Thames embankment and at
ether places where the progress OF the race
was exhibited. and cheers were frequently
raised for both the Columbia and Sir
Thomas Lipton. but the disappointment
over the result was very keen.
At the Hotel Cecil. where crowd of
Americans had collected to await the an
nouncement of the result of the ticker
cheers resouuded. Yankee Doodle" was
sung at all music halls. When the result
was communicated 10 the audiences there
was general manifestation of dfsappoint-
ment, but this speedily gave place to the
heartieSt cheers and the bands played
American tunes

Two Pointed Qustions Answered


What is the use of making a better
than your competitor ifyou
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only
the better, 30 that while our profits
may be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass Judgment on
them and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always
be depended upon. They may oc.
casionaIly take up with some fash
