Even if Sir Thomas Upton does not
succeed in lifting the famous yachting
trophy this month, there win be some con-
ISOLATION for Britishers in that the inter-
national tennis trophy has been lifted
BY their representatives The trick was
done last Saturday and it needed the fast
est pair Of players that Great Britain ever
turned out to do it. For THEE years
challenge team has been sent over to this
country to try for the prize which now
goes over the seas. The victory, while
calling to the Americans, is popular In
that the British team played the superior
tennis and deserved to win. Their play
ing showed perfection never before
reached BY any challenging team, and it is
probable that in the long list Of tennis ex-
perts ia America no one has been turned
out with the all-around skin displayed by
the younger Of the Doherty brothers. IN
the interests or the sport and to retrieve
their laurels. the American managers win
lose no time In presenting challenge,
now that the cup goes to the Brltishers.

Tending American feet, and the mimic

thing has been emphasized by this mimicry

that wireless telegraphy win play in naval
warfare IN the future, As soon as the at

In smooth and choppy seas,
She met her friendly rivals
And vanquished them with ease.
She met the old Columbia.

But that once staneh defender
Was never Ii the game.
The speedy Constitution

In rushing and ia drifting
On seas of every Kind
And now the swift Reliance
Is chosen to defend
The trophy that bold Upton

And both, as we're believing,

We've heard lot Of boasting
About the Upton boat;

The fastest yacht aaoat.
But just the same the spirits

And all are sure that Shamrock

The time IS fast approaching
For test of every claim,
And soon the rival racers
