THE YACHT RACES

THE beginning of Sir Thomas Lip
i tons third attempt to lift the
dllapidated piece of silver won by the
old America fifty years ago will be
made today. 1t is stating truth but
mildly TO say that large proportion
of the worlds population is keenly IN
terested in the outcome. English
speaking people everywhere win wait
eagerly for news from the races and
they are prepared to cheer no matter
what the outcome may be.
At this time a statement of the con-
ditions governing the races viii be Of
interest There are to be FIVE races.
the first being scheduled for today. II
today's race is finished within the time
limit the succeeding races will be run
on alternate days until one or the other
of the yachts has won "A majority Of
the FIVE. Each race is to be started
at Sandy Hook lightship. The course
IS to be either over a triangle. each
leg of which is ten miles long. or a
beat to windward of fifteen miles and
return.
Thus it will be possible to show the
defender in all points Of sailing. In
order 10 make the races valid they
must be finished within a time limit
OF five hours and thirty minutes each.
Each boat measures 90 feet on the wa
ter line and each can spread. II neces-
sary, upwards Of 10000 square feet of
canvas. Shamrock III was designed
by William Fife, the famous English
boat builder. Reliance was built by

Workers. having. furnished the funds
necessary TO build and equip her Sir
Thomas Upton individually bears all
the expenses of Shamrock III.
Expert yachtsmen are agreed that
the Americas cup is in greater danger
this year than it has ever been. sham
rock III has proven herself. both in
English and I'm American waters. to
be a far speedier boat than any other
challenger. Ii is said that she could
beat the old Columbia, which defeated
Shamrock H. But Reliance has beaten
NoiuNlbid ana II remains to be seen
whether or not she can also dispose
OF Shamrock III. Certainly nearly ev-
cry American really believes Sir Thorn
as Will be disappointed again.
And il he should be disappointed. his
regret will be shared by the thousands
of friends he has made in this coun-
try. No cleaner sportsman ever donned
a yachting cap or stood on a quarter
deck. Sir Thomas is cheerful loser
and there is no reason to doubt that
he would be a magnanimous winner.
If he should win this time. and he
certainly deserves to win. his victory
would be the best thing that could
happen. for it would have decidedly
stimulating effect on international
yachting
Still we cannot give the cup to Sir
Thomas. He IS not looking for do
nation party. IF he cannot win the cup
fairly and squarely he viii not take
it. The better yacht must take the
cup.

take this, your hour of departure, to
convey TO you my thanks. I fully re-

than passing attention and would have
soon been forgotten had you not fled

From an obscure citizen of Utah / be-
came a national character and got my
name in all the papers. Your unset
fish efforts in my behalf have done
much to make me whatever I may be-
come. You could not have done me a
better turn had YOU consulted me.
which you did not. as you and I both
know. You not only made me known
abroad but made me a martyr at
home and ! am now on the crest of

introduced TO many prominent men and
nearly all of them say they have heard

remained in Utah I should have
seized some favorable opportunity TO

speak to my friend Quay and perhaps
he will make room in the wagon for
one more. i do not promise anything
definite. because, truth TO tell. l am a
little frightened when in the presence
NJ Senator Quay. He has such a cold

FATALITIES IN ALPS.

WITH THE SEASON for Alps climb
w ing nearing its close comment on
the unusually large number of fatali-
ties and accidents Of more or less Sc
rious character has begun. Up to date
more than 800 mishaps have been re-
ported. resulting in the loss of $50 lives.
A cable message says that fatalities are
of almost daily occurrence and that no
mountain district has failed to gain a
place in the grim record.
A wonderful escape from death was
reported in the dispatches published
yesterday. seven tourists who. the day
before. were reported killed, were yes
terday reported as having been found
practically unhurt after a sliding fall of
many feet. Another narrow escape is
thus described in a special from Lon
don to the Chicago Tribune:
The most marvellous of the escapes is
that of Gerald Fitzgerald on the Monte
Rosa. Passing along a dangerous edge,
roped between two guides. Fitzgerald
and the younger guide, Amer. fell. but
the rope held. Young Amer succeeded
self and then telephoned for help for
Fitzgerald, who, having broken his
right leg, was unable to help himself.
He remained seven hours Suspended in
midair over precipice 10, 500 feet deep.
thanks to the indomitable courage of
old Amer. who stood motionless those
seven hours, with his legs propped
against a bowlder. supporting him at
the end of the rope till help arrived"
In an endeavor 10 account for the
number of fatalities IL is said that many
of them are oocasioned by the reckless
ness of tourists, who insist on climbing
the mountains without any guides.
Alone. they scale peaks they have never
seen before and it IS but natural that
they should meet with disaster An
other cause assigned is that many
climbers go out unprepared for the
hard work ahead of them. Women
wear elaborate gowns and men go at
tired as for an afternoon wedding.
When the crisis comes they are unable
to handle themselves.
Mountain climbing possesses a fasci-
nation, too. for many. Men who are
really timid in the face of ordinary
dangers will take chances on mountain
peaks that no experienced guide would
take. Whether this is because they
don't realize their danger or because
the mountain air exhilarates Them 10
the point Of reckless foolhardiness. is
an open question. At any rate. the long
death roll shows the results. one way
for tourists to avoid the dangers of
mountain climbing and still enjoy its
fascinations is for them to come TO the
United States for It,
In Utah are many peaks well worth
the effort it takes to reach their sum
mits. And there is a spice Of danger,
too, in climbing them, though they are
not nearly as dangerous as the Alps.

States that Ireland be appointed car
dinal, today said that owing to the di-
vision On the subject among the mem

not appoint Ireland unless President
Roosevelt requested it as a distinction to

Washington, March 23.--It is not
at all likely that President Roosevelt
will indicate, even indirectly, any prefer
ence in the matter of the appointment
of Archbishop Ireland as a cardinal.
The policy of the United States with
reference to the Church of Rome is we'll
defined, and it is highly improbable that
there will be any departure at this time
that could in any manner be construed
as even tacit recognition by this gov
eminent of the temporal power of the
