Upton WOULD RACE DAILY.

Sir Thomas Upton, after fizzle yester-
day said that he thought It would be
better for all interested II the yachts
were to race every day now until the
series is completed.
AS far as he was concerned, he said
he would be very willing to have the
Shamrock raced every day This. how
ever, was only a suggestion, and he had
not done anything TO bring racing every
day about.
AT the New York Yacht club last night
when il was mentioned to some of the
members that Sir Thomas Upton was I'm
favor of racing every day. every one
seemed pleased. No change however, can
be made I'm the present program until the
committees representing the Royal Ulster
and the New York Yacht clubs meet and
agree TO change the conditions, so as To
allow racing every day.
1t was thought by member OF the New
York Yacht club committe that there
might be a meeting tomorrow. AS Sir
Thomas Upton is willing TO agree to a
change. and ne is the challenger for the
cup, IL is very probable that the Royal
Ulster Yacht club committee will ask that
the racing be continued every day, and
this may begin with Thursday, or, If a
race is finished on Friday. any IL neces-
sary race every day next week until the
series is ended.
