The basis of the suit brought against Sir
Thomas Upton by David N. Barrie, who acted
as the baronet's personal and business repre-
sentative in this country during the cup race,
has been made public by William s. Gilbert
of New York, counsel for Mr. Barrie. Mr.. Gil
bert said: "Mr. Barrie's suit against Sir
Thomas Lpton is simply attempt on the
part Of Mr.. Barrie to recover from Sir
Thomas Upton compensation for services
rendered in the last series of races for the
Americas cup
Mr. Barrie was employed in similar capac-
ity in connection with the management OF
Shamrock l.. but for this service he was fully
paid by Sir Thomas. For some unknown rea-
son, however, Mr. Gilbert says, Sir Thomas
refused to pay Mr.. Barrie for his services In
connection with Shamrock II. The plaintiff,
it is claimed, attended to all the details of the
second race. His services extended over : a
period Of two years or more and he seeks to
recover, $11, ,515 for those services <,;s
