Upton OPPOSED TO A RACE
Several Reasons Why the Shamrock
II. Gould Not Compete With
the Kanaid.

London, July 2.-Kenneth Clarke's pro-
posal to substitute the Karaid for Sham
rock II in the International yachts, pro
vided the Karaid proves to be the better
boat, has keenly excited yachting circles,
but the general view is that Sir Thomas
Upton is not likely to accept the chal-
lenge, and that nothing will come of the
affair. 1t appears that, If matched on
the American allowance, the Shamrock
II would be obliged to conceded TIVE
Karaid IL minutes in 80 miles, which Mr..
Clarke is convinced would enable his
yacht to win.
Sir Thomas Upton has not yet spoken
on the proposal, but he is understood to
be quite opposed to such match. Nat
urally the final decision rests with the
Royal Ulster Yacht club.
Most of the authorities thus far con-
suited are agreed that the conditions
arranged between the Royal Ulster
Yacht club and the New York Yacht
club preclude a substitution. as the Bel
fast committees challenge expressly
designated the Shamrock II as it's repre-
sentative. Altogether the proposal raises
so many difficulties to be overcome that
it Is not very popular.
Yachtsmen argue that as the Karaid
is spared for British weather, while the
Shamrock II is over-sparred for this
side. no trial would be conclusive else
where and in fact any trials here would

ANY DOUBT that may have existed an
to the popularity Of bicycle racing in
Butte was certainly dissipated last nixhe
when nearly 1000 persons visited the
| new saucer. The night was ideal and
the weather sufficiently warm to render
| an overcoat luxury rather than ne
| cessity. The enthusiasts took advantage
Of the weather, too.and the manner in
which they turned out demonstrated
clearly that they had remained away
from the track on the two previous
nights simply because they did not care
to freeze.
Then, too. 1t was ladies' night and
that helped swell the attendance. but
notwithstanding that the ladies were
admitted free. the paid attendance fig
| ures were larger than on the opening
night. Now that the weather seems to
have decided to change it is safe to pre-
dict that the crowds will be large every
night.
The sport last night was up to the
standard and had as a chief feature an
exhibition mile by Gust Lawson and
John Chapman. on the motor cycle tam

decided hit. Judging from the rounds
of APPLAUSE that greeted the riders when
they dismounted. The interest will be
greater when the Turville Brothers arr
rive from Salt Lake with their motor.
Then motor races will be a feature here.
The surprise of the night was J. Green.

What the talent may have picked up
Saturday at the race track was lost
yesterday and at the conclusion of the
that it is hard proposition to play the
horses on form at this stage of thu
game. Only two favorites showed in
backed as the odds were prohibitive.
The second choice carried considera BILE
money but the books won to all but two
races.
AS was stated yesterday the pacing
event went to Christobel who took two
straight heats. The only other contender
was Hassolo, who at no time was dam
gerous. The price against Christobel
was such as to prohibit extensive bet
ting.
The feature of the second race was the
behavior of Maniac. The two year old
is bad actor He took the bit in his
teeth at the post and twice made a cir
cult Of the track before he was got any
thing like quiet Then he broke out
again and ran back half the distance.
That meant long delay at the post and
when Starter Havey finally let them go
it was a struggling start. The race went
to Winnecook, who was coupled with

an easy second over Tufts.
The third event on the card went to the
old favorite Ostler Joe. The horse was
pretty we'll fancied and several bets We're

The advent of the motor cycle in Butte
was great feature at the saucer last
night. Gust Lawson and John Chapman
plotted the red devil'' for mile from a
flying start, and though the time was
nothing extraordinary it convinced the
spectators that the machine was capa-
BILE of great speed.
Allen the speedy Billings amateur was
treated to a surprise last night which
VIII be lesson to him. In the two
thirds mile handicap he decided that Sec
ond place was easy for him but he reck-
oned without his host, as Rayburn shot
ty him in the last 20 yards and finished
behind Holman.
The match race between Gum and
Burris, particularly the last heat was
pretty tame and all because the rider
soldlered.. They should be compelled to
ride, and to accomplish that time limit
should be put on all su h contestA When
the distance is not covered within the
prescribed time the riders should either
ride it over or do without the money.
1t is an amusing thing to listen to the
talk of few local amateurs who think
they can ride. They visit the track
nightly and comment on the riders de-
claring what they could do to the bunch.
The takers never get on the track how
ever and for very good reason. Hot
air and boasting will not win races It
might be we'll for these takers to follow
the advice given chap who was ia
nous for standing around billiard table
and commenting on the play. He was
told to get cue and get in.
Captain T. o. Angel who built the sau-
Ger was without doubt the most pleased
man in Butte last night. The occasion
for his glee was the successful trip Of
the motor cycle. Some alleged wise
ones had claimed that though the sau-
Ger was all right for bicycles it would
not do for the motors. They argued that
the machine would get up such speed
that they would run off the track. Cap
tain Angree thought otherwise but
waited for the test last night. He had
the satisfaction of learning from both
Chapman and Lawson that the track was
perfect.
