WANTS YACHT BUILDER.
Upton VIII Not Challenge for Cup I'm
I'll Enaland Produces One.

New York, Aug. 29.-Sir Thomas
Upton, aboard the Erin, declared yes
terday in an interview that he would
never challenge again for the Ameri-
cas- cup until man had been found in
England who equalled Nat Herreshoff
in yacht building. The baronet admit
ted his disappointment at his failure
and frankly said that he had no hope
of winning even a single race. He
said:
American brains and development
have us beaten. If the day ever comes
when England produces a Herreshoff
then / will challenge for the cup
again. 1t will not be until then. IL is
unpleasant to be compelled to admit
1t, but the brains in boat building are
on this side of the water. Herreshoff
is wizard. His work is wonderful.
None can have admired Reliance
more than I have. She Is the best
boat by all odds and has won on strict
merit.
II am a most disappointed man.
My hopes were high when left home,
for surely believed we would carry
back the cup. Yesterdays fuke only
prolonged the agony for me. | do not
want to win on any slips and regret
ted Reliance's failure to get over the
line as much as any one could"
Sir Thomas was asked why 1t was
that Shamrock III. was not given more
sail area. He said that he trusted
everything to the best Of English tai.
emit He complimented Captain Barr
and said that he had no fault TO find
with the way in which Shamrock had
been handled. 81 hope" he said, that
we will. get good. twenty-fve-knot
breeze and a heavy sea tomorrow.
Then we shall have all the chances
on the calendar to try out Shamrock's
qualities"
The baronet praised the, hospitality
and generosity of Americans and ex.
pressed the belief that many of them
wanted to see him take the cup.
They would push Shamrock over the
line ahead IL they could | believe"

MAeELssEN NOT KILLED.
Was Fired at in His Carriage, But
Not Touched.

Constantinople, Aug. 29.-It trans
pires that the report that Vice Consul
Magelssen was killed is incorrect. An
unknown individual fired at him, and
the bullets passed close to the vice
consul, but did not touch him.
The vail Of Beirut afterwards visit
