his $50 grocery stores in merry Eng
land. but he has won the plaudits OF
all men, and is. next to the King, the
most popular man OH the British
isles. He has a way about him that
is enough to win any one who gets
glimpse Of his good-natured. red,
Irish face, and he deserves I'LL the
friendship any one wants to give him.
Sir Thomas doesn't despise being
popular. He enjoys it. Like Chauncey
Depew. Abe Hummel, and a few
others. he has learned that it is not
a bad thing to be accessible ut all
times. Sir Thomas rarely refuses to
see an interviewer. and he certainly
never gives the interviewer the i'm
preston he is being bored. But he
has nice way of bringing an inter
view to close. and making his Wis
itors think he has won the lrishman's
warmest brand of friendship.
'Ive got so much to do to-day, ver-
IA much to do today" he will say.
IF you could see me to-mor-r-row,
orr Iii tell you what to do. Come
down to see me on boar-rd the Erin
some day, and I'll have nlor-rc time
to think about what I'll he saying to
ye. Come on boar-rd whenever-r ye
like and see one of the races"
While Sir Thomas men are spend
ing his money as fast as they can find
something the fleet needs he is laugh
ing and having a "vcr-ra good taimc."
His rugged face glows all the while,
he always has Il glad hand for every
body. He is IL big. lawboncd man,
with IL prodigious mustachc, and IL
pair of rough tlighty eyebrows, that
shed two small. keen eyes. Beneath
his hy-;lway muStache is half hidden
a gray imperial, not big enough to be
worth tugging at, and yet big enough
to be Il characteristic of Sir Thomas.
The knight wasn't built for
beauty show. He has rather a loose
jointed, hnng-togcther sort of a
frame. His chest spends most of it's
time trying to crawl back ana snug
up against his backbone. and when
he doesn't watch himself he often
stands after the fashion of a letter
"S" that had been given Il jerk and
party Strengthened out.
When speaking Sir Thomas beams.
He gives his "r's" fine Irish roll,
and spreads out some of his words
Scotchwise. He doesn't fidgct, he does
not get tired Of any one, or at least
he doesn't show that he does. He
rubs the little tuft of hair that saves
him from the ignominy of badness,
and occasionally mOps his big hand
! across his high. square brow, and
then rams his fists into his pockets.
His big hands have fondncss for
hiding away. but they would be very
poor hands if they Stunned the pock-
cts of Il man who spends over a mil.
lion a year in quest of trophy thu
contains about enough silver to pay
for his aftcr-dinncr cigars for Il week.
Up around the Waldorf Astoria
there is something doing most of the
time now that Sir Thomas is there.
The sportsman is a good FEEDER"
and between his dinners at this hotel
and on the Erin he spends pretty
pile.

and anchored Off TOmpkinSville. Even
the tug was used only when absolute
ly necessary and was not chartered
for the season, as has been Sir
Thomas custom in his two previous
years here.
Now we have two yachts towed
across by one of the finest steam
yachts afloat-a yacht for which
ES0,O00 was offered Il month ago and
refused-and big sea-going tug; we
have challenging owner who will
take eighty to 100 guests day out
to see the races in his steam yacht and
entertain them in the most lavish
fashion; and he has the daily counsel
of the designer of the cha lenger. who
is retained ut fee so large that per-
sons who know whisper the amount
in awe.
1t is likely that Captain Matthews,
the commander of the Erin, draws us
large il salary as does the captain OF
the Oceanic or the st. Paul OF the
eighty-twO men in the crews of the
two Shamrocks, siXty-three will be
picked to sail the challenger in the
cup races, and, to add to his lavish
expenditure Of money, Sir Thomas
has promised these siNty-three men
that in case Shamrock Ill wins the
cup he will pension them for life. In
addition to all this there are Il thou
sand and one expenses which cannot
be computed, but which go to swell
the total to an astonishing size. 1t
costs Il great deal more to go cup
hunting than it does to defend the
silver piece once it is in Il yachtsmans
possession. While at the close Of the
races Sir Thomas will have spent
more than $3O0O,OOO in trying to fish
the silver piece from the seas, it has
cost only about $1.OO0,OOO to defend
the cup during the last five years
year after year Il little group of
SportSmen made up of j. PierpOnt
Morgan, August Belmont, G. Oliver
Iselin. and Il. d. Morgan have con-
tributed hundreds of thousands of dol
that is worth other hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the planning and
management of cup defenders. AS
much as these men collectively have
spent Sir Thomas has cheerfully
spent much more, and he is alone in
his side of the game.
But then Sir Thomas is not an or
dinary man. He is willing to pay
for his recreation. 1t is true the aver
age man would find the nervous strain
incident to managing fleet to be
poor recreation, but the wealthy Irish
man doesn't look at that side Of it.
When Sir Thomas first announced
that he intended trying for the cup
lots of people winked the other eye
and said he was perhaps getting
ready to put a new brand of tea on
the market. or that perchancc, his
packing-house products needed a little
advertising OF course, any sports
man might look to some reward for
all these efforts and expenditures of
money, and Sir Thomas has had them
given him in greater measure than
almost any living man. 1t is not o
record that his tea sales increased or
that he has done a bigger business at
The Irish standard., 1903-07-11

And, by the way, they say about
the hotel that Sir Thomas has one lit
tie superstition. He is afraid of the
Friday hoodoo Some say he will not
want the Shamrock Ill to race on that
day 1t was on Friday that the
boat met with Il mishp in IL storm
on the other side, ana it was on IL
Friday that Shamrock II was defeat
ed in the decisive race.
But there is nothing else that seems
to be worrying Sir Thomas John
