WRINGE AND FIFE DIFFER
Say Those on the Inside I'm
Open Break ETpected.

For the last few days rumors have been rife OF
a split in Shamrock HIS happy family. Although
there has been no Official statement. few doubt
that the relations between Captain Wrnge. sailing
master of the challenger and William Fife. her
designer are much strained An open break is
expected at any moment it is said by those who
are in a position to know the inner facts.
When Sir Thomas Upton on the Erin yesterday
was asked point blank if these rumOrs had any
basis he said
In regard TO those stories which have been cir
culated. l will that Mr.. Fife is gentleman
and sportsman who has devoted his whole heart
and soul and his best Judgment to my interests

Sir Thomas then went deck. where he was
cheered. and had to listen to oh Mr.. Upton,
sung to the much abused tune of mfr. DOOley.'
When il became apparent that the boats could

Weather Bureau announced that the Kansas. Or

The fact that the Missouri also is rising $

LONDON is REELECTED.
FIuke GiUes Hope That Upton
Nay Yet Take a Race.

Especial to The New-yoIk Tribune BY French Caoleo
Copyright; 1908: BY Tie Tribune Association
London, Aug. PA feeling of relief has been
caused here by the announcement that to-day's
race between the Shamrock and the Reliance
has been declared void. Londoners readily ad-
NIT that the defender has again proved herself
the better boat, and that had there been sufn-
cient wind to enable the yachts to complete the
course, the challenger must have beer badly
beaten The ShamrocIs display in light airs Is
regarded extremely Disappointing. ana II Is
felt that Sir Thomas Upton has not the faintest
chance of winning the Cup, but all hope that at
least one race may be credited TO the account OF
the British Yacht has not yet vanished.
The impression prevails in yachting circles
that in the event of the Shamrocks third defeat
no British yachtsmar will throw down the
gauntlet to the New-York Yacht Club for some
wears to come
