Better luck next time" was the toast he
proposed, then following with little
speech In which he said:
81 need not say that I am delighted in
seeing you all so jolly. men. And there Is
really no reason why you should not be
happy, for while we did not lift the cup,
we got fairly and squarely licked. You did

I'VE were not successful in lifting the

You have heard that this is great
country for trusts, and they cornered the

boat afloat. Designer Watson deserves all
credit for the thought and the skill he has
laid down In its construction. Two years.

If no one else challenges for the Amer

Thomas announced this last night.
Il don't want to appear as claiming q

If no other Britisher challenges for it in

William c. Whitney Is now the owner of

that the price paid by Whitney was $780,

The quick transference of Endurance by
