tracing FOR THE CUP
1t Has Cost Sir Thomas Upton Over
Two Million Dollars,
And American ynchtsmen Have spent
Two and Half Millions TO Keep
the Trophy on This side of
the water.

Since 1856, when the Yankee yacht
Mayflower easily defeated the cutter
Galatea in two races, 1t has cost the
United States nearly s2,500 10000 to keep
the cup on this side Of the water.
Sir Thomas Upton alone has spent
81, 100000 in his attempt to lift the
cup" but, Of course, the challenger Is
usually under much heavier expense
than the defender And, furthermore,
the cost increases with each succeed
ing race. The estimated cost OF build
ing the Mayflower and all necessary
accessories was 100000; of the Volun-
teer, in 1887, also about 100000. The
Vigilant, which defended the cup in
1898, cost s300000 including building,
rigging, maintenance, etc. In 1895 the
figures rose to 100000, when the De-
fender was the victor. The cost of the
Columbia, in 1899, was also about s4OO.-
! 900; in 1901, about 100000 for the
same boat, including tender, trial
! horses, etc, and the cost to date for
the Reliance is put by wise salts at
nearly 100000.
The Reliance was built by syndi-
cate composed of ten men. They are
c. oliver Iselin, who has full charge
of the boat; former Judge Ebert II.
! Gary, Clement A. Griscom, James j.
! Hill. William II. Leeds. William

/ Norman B. Keam.
| Mr.. Herreshoff, 1t is said, received
| $780, for this boat. There are seven
! complete suits Of sails for the Reli-
ance. which would add another $780,
! 900 to the cost of the yacht The
wages of officers and crew can be put
down at $4,000 and the rations, main
tenance, ETC.. at $4,000. The dry
! docking expenses must also be consid-
cred. and, with new rigging, adds an
other $4,000 to the cost In addition,
there is that expensive thing, the ten
der, which was bought outright, and

with the crew cost about $4,000 alone.
This sum does not include the heavy
expense of the trial horses, the Column
bia and the Constitution, which have
been put in commission for this occa-
sion. ]. Pierpont Morgan, the owner
of the Columbia and August Belmont,
who owns the Constitution, probably
have spent more than 100000 to help
the Reliance defend the cup.
Sir Thomas Upton estimates his ex-
penses for the present yacht race at
100000. This year his expenses have
been more than in former years, as he
keeps two racing yachts In commits
sion. The Shamrock III. probably
cost about 100000 to- build. She has
five suits Of sails. costing about 100000
each, so that the sails alone cost $780,
900. Extra spars have been needed
from time to time, more riggings has
been found necessary and this, with
other expenses. brings the amount to
| $450.000.
The crews on the two boats-the
Shamrock l. and the Shamrock Ill
number ninety men. The captains
salaries are $4,500'each and that of the
officers $4,000. The eighty men COM
posing the crew draw about $50 a
month They are engaged for six
months, making the total cost for sal
aries of officers and crew $4,000. In
| addition to their wages they have been
promised SIS each by Sir Thomas foI

of prize money. OF course, this would
have been increased in case the Sham.

cost of Sir Thomas attempt to lift tn
cup to nearly 100000, and for tn

And yet Sir Thomas says he does nc
think of the cost. The cost, therefor,
to British challengers since 1886, whe
the Galatea came to this country, dow

THE CARDINALS HAT.
Rumor Has IL That One VIII De Given
to America by the December
Consistory.

Whether new cardinals are given to
America or not depends on what
amount Of weight is attached to the
advice of foreign cardinals given in
Rome before and after the recent con-
clave 1t is unquestionably the thought
of Plus X. to make the college more
representative of the church and Its
many nationalities, but 1t is well to re-
member that new popes often lose their
individuality and are governed by the
traditions of their Office. American
Catholics expect to see one, and per-
haps two, cardinal honors come to
America. Not knowing methods very
well, Plus X. suggested the other day
a consistory forthwith, but he has
since found that much preliminary
work is required before one can be
held. One may take place at the end
of September, but 1t is thought by
