''AIy Dear Mr.. HOyt-The president
directs me TO say tlIt ii will be a
particular pleasure to him if Sir
Thomas Upton can come TO the Sea

invitation was extended to him was
that he did not feel like accepting

tions; that if it was simply to be
neighborhOod dinner among his OWE
friends in the Seawanhaka club he
would gladly come. The president
has a particularly high regard for Sir
Thomas Upton and a high apprecia-
tion of the manly and spOrtsmanslike
spirit he has shown throughout the
yacht contests. The president earnest
ly desires that Sir Thomas be present
at the dinner" The foregoing is
