Sir Thomas Still Has Faith in Sham.

London Until Spring.

spirit OF this syndicate Mr.. Ross Is also
a member of the New York Yacht club.
He has built the defenders for the Sea-
wanhaka challenge cup for three years,
which were designed by Mr. Duggan.
Sir Thomas Upton would not talk much
about his plans when seen today. He
said: 81 have practically decided 10 leave
the Shamrock I'm this country for the win
ter AZ least. Several things have infiu-
enced me In making this decision-one
OF the principal reasons being the tenn
pestuous condition OF the North Atlantic
at this season OF the year.
1T Is no fun towing a vessel OF any
kind in a heavy or even fairly heavy
sea and / am OF the opinion that Cap
tain Matthews and others aboard tho
Erin will have all they can do To look out
for their own yacht without being handi-
capped by the Shamrock. | don't want To
lose the Shamrock just yet: / may want
10 use her again. But I'm just what way,
i don't know now.
About racing i'm these waters next
year, that IL a matter not yet decided.
l have thought about H.. but nothing is
settled yet. / should very much like To
meet the Columbia again, and am still
n strong supporter OF my own boat Cap
tain Sycamore will not stay here through
the winter. Just one or two trusty sea
men will remain TO keep an eye on the
yacht"
What about another challenge, Sir
Thomas?' asked the reporter.
1T Is early, yet to think OF that. and II
takes some time TO make the arrange
ments | should very much like To lift
that cup. but IL is not question OF what
i would like. but what I can get others
10 do. To challenge again | must get a
designer 10 undertake the task or design
ing the boat and Mr.. Fife and Mr.. Wat
son do not care for that job any more.
They may. however. decide TO help out II
they are wanted.
II still think the Shamrock is the faster
of the two boats" said Sir Thomas. "and
! cannot understand such statements as
those being made
Sir Thomas pointed To "a paragraph In
a newspaper which said that no yachts
men believed that Shamrock III had
chance 10 defeat the Columbia and that
II Sir Thomas hoped To win the cup he
must build faster boat
How can they say that when the
Shamrock was so hindered by fiukes and
the Columbia correspondngly favored?
How does anyone know what my yacht
would do under even condtions2 / have
not lost faith n.her yet"

The Shamrock will remain on this side
of the Atlantic during the winter. The
spars will be stored at Erie Basin, and
the yacht taken to New London
1t will rest with American yachtsmen
whether the Shamrock races in these
waters next season or returns home III
Mr., j.. Picrpont Morgan and the MEM
bers of the Constitution syndicate will
put their yachts in commission. then Sir
Thomas Liptpn will have the Shamrock
In commission and will meet the two
American boats and as many as may he
built, I'm all the races possible. but II the
American yachts are not to be. raced, then
the Shamrock will cross the ocean early
In the spring.
Sir Thomas Upton and his friends are
all sure that the Shamrock can beat the
ColumbCia I'm spite OF the three defeats
she experienced in the recent races for
the Americas cup and nothing would
please Sir Thomas more than having a
chance 10 show that he has the best boat
II the Constitution and Columbia are put
in commission and raced with the sham
rock In these waters the season would
be the most interesting in the history of
the sport Sir Thomas Upton Is a mem
ber OF the New York and Atlantic Yacht
clubs and his yacht would be eligible TO
enter In all regattas and every club OF
any standing would offer special prizes
for races between the 90 footers.
Sir Thomas would very much like to
have another race for the cup. and al
though he has said that he may chal-
lenge again with a new yacht he thinks
that he would stand very good chance
OF winning with the Shamrock. Accord
ing to the deed OF gift. "the vessel which
has been defeated In match for this cup
cannot be again selected by any club as
it's representative until after a contest
by some other vessel has intervened or
until after the expiration OF two years
from the, time OF such defeat
Under the mutual agreement clause I'm
the deed. however it Is thought that the
New York Yacht club might agree to
waive this. and If there is no challenge
from foreign yacht club for race for
next year then another series may be ar
ranged between the Shamrock and either
the Columbia or Constitution.
There has also been some talk OF n
syndicate OF Canadians challenging. and
g r. Dugean has been mentioned a. the
designer OF THIS boat. James Ross OF
