WILL RACE, NEXT YEAR.
lipion Wants Shamrock to Meet the Columbia
and Constitution.

New York. Oct. From present in
cations it is highly probably there will
he some very interesting racing among
| the 90-foot yachts next season. Sir
Thomas Upton has decided to keep the
i Shamrock III in America, this winter
with view of racing here next spring
and summer against the Constitution
and Columbia. The Shamrock is TO be
dismantled at once and she is to be
| towed to New London. Conn, there to
be laid up for the winter with the Con-
stitution.
Sir Thomas is confined to his yacht
the Erin. His right leg, which was
hurt while he was boarding the tender
Porto Rico, few weeks ago, is giving
him considerable pain. Elaborate pre-
parations are being made at the New
York Yacht Club to fittingly receive Sir
Thomas at the club, tomorrow night.
In conversation with an Associated
Press reporter, today. Sir Thomas said:
Notwithstanding we are whipped /
still believe Shamrock III the better
boat. Remember / am not disparginG
the other boat or the New York Yacht
Club in the least. But the fact is that
the other boat in the last two races got
the best of the wind while we did not"
DO you think that, in the last race,
for instance. where the two boats
were so widely separated on the beat
home, that if the Shamrock had held
over in similar positions to that of the
Columbia, that she would have beaten
herr"
NO. ! do not criticise my crew in
the least. The other boat simply
profited by getting puffs of wind that
we did not happen to have. I may
add that there We're certain little fea-
lures about the condition of Shamrock
which might probably have been i'm
proved on the last day of the race. but
there is no fault whatever to be found
with her handling
Then you would like to have another
race"
Yes think it would be well to ar
range another race
This fall
oh. no. nothing would be done be-
fore another year
How about the proposition to race
with exchanged crews"
THAT never was my proposition.
