FOR Upton CUP.
The -Four SHvenly-FOoIeTs Are

months what IL has taken them years to
learn.
No man wants to win the $1,000 Upton
cup today more than Bobby" Wrnge.
He has sailed under Sir Thomas colors.
and is closer to him than any of the
others. Said he yesterday: I'm after

way, and he Will make one of the best
fights of his life TO get the cup. and

and nothing showed better the bitter
strife these two have afioat than the
close-quarter nghting in the Larchmont
race. where both were badly out OF it,
after their wild luffing match for miles.
Mr. Duryea has got the biggest job OF
the year on hand, and must. play every
chance a to win out today, for both
Wringe and Parker are sure TO block
his every move. The British shippers
feel that the race will be universally no
