Upton TROPHY
FOR OCEAN RACE
Sir Thomas to Offer Hand
some Cup to Winner of
Long Race.
WILL BE TEST OF SEAMANSHlP
Yachts Of All Nations viii Have op.
portunity to Display Their Speed
and Exhibit the Efficiency Of Their
Crews.

New York special: Sir Thomas Lip.
ton is to prove his ardor for interna'
tional yacht racing He desires to put
the constructive ability of Herreshof.
and other designers OF both the old
and new world to test. and also to
try out the seamanship of sailors of all
nations In crossing the ocean. A
$1,000 cup, perpetual challenge
trophy. for which the nations of the
world may compete annually, is to be
the offer OF the Irish baronet, who has
thrice accepted defeat at the hands
of American yachtsmen.
Sir Thomas is at the Waldorf-As-
toria, and it was there that his plans
became known.
International Test.
1T Is my desire" said Sir Thomas,
to test thoroughly the qualities. not
alone of the yachting craft of any ma
ton whose subjects wish to compete,
but the seamanship of those who man
the yacht.
"This will be no trial Of racing ma
chimes designed for special purposes,
but to place in competition those
wholesome and able vessels which
are fit to be called yachts. Strength
Of construction In hull and in rig will
be demanded to cope successfully with
the conditions likely to be met in such
4 race, and those qualities which go to
make up an allaround yacht will be
called for d..
Il think the offer of such trophy
will do more to stimulate proper
Yachting spirit than any other thing
hat lies in my power to do. notwith-
standing my efforts to capture the
Americas cup. which, by the way,
nave not entirely abandoned. AS !
cave said, If designer can show me
khe possibility Of a ninety-footer to
peat Herreshoff l will try again"
An ocean race from Sandy Hook to
rhe Needles, distance of about 5000
miles, probably next May, will be the
first contest for the Upton $4,000 cup.
1t will be open to any and all sloops,
schooners and yawls, no matter where
owned. 1t will be a race of boat
against boat without time allowance,
and 5000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean
will be the course. ..-
Sir Thomas has not made formal
announcement of the offer of the cup,
and it is very likely this will be made
public through the Atlantic or New
York Yacht Club. The Atlantic Club
may be chosen, as Commodore Tod of
the club has been the leader in promot.
ing races for ocean-gOing yachts. With
the actual offer of the $4,000 cup by
Sir Thomas, it is also likely that a
81 900 cup for the second fastest ocean
racer will be offered by the club.
The entries for this race will bring
together yachtsmen of all the world.
Emperor William of Germany is count
ed on as likely to enter his crack
schooner Meteor, built in this coun-
try and christened by Miss Alice
Roosevelt A number of English,
French and German yachts are also
counted on. The United States will
probably have among it's representa-.
tives the schooners Ingomar, winner
OF the last ocean race: Endymion,
Hildegard, Fleur de Lis and Thistle
Then, too, Vigilant, Navahoe and even
Shamrock III. and Reliance may be
tuned up and sent on the hard run.

PROBING ALL CHARGES
NO DEVELOPMENT IN POST OF.
FICE INVESTIGATION.
Mr. Bristow Has Given Up ALI Hope
of Vacation This
Year.

There was no important development to-
day in the investigation being carried on by
the Post Office Department into frauds in
the administration Of the business of that
department.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow was closeted in his private apart
ments during the entire morning and until
after II o'clock he denied himself to all
callers. Shortly after noon he went to the
room of the Postmaster General and he
and Mr. Payne had a short conference.
The work of the day, it was announced
did not develop any important evidence
bearing on the subject of the investigation.
There is a mass of material in the form
of clues and charges that has not yet
been looked into fully by the fourth assist
ant postmaster general and all of it has
to be gone over very carefully. 1t Is that
work that is now taking Mr.. Bristow's
time.
it is understood that this work does not
lead into new fields of investigation, but
that 1t merely relates to matters that have
already received a good deal of publicity.
The work is so extensive that Mr.. Bristow
has finally given up all hope OF vacation
this year, though he would like very we'll
to get away to the woods Of Maine for q
few weeks.
Postmaster General Payne today stated
that there was nothing that could be
added to the stock of public information
in relation to the investigation being car
ried on by his department. The investiga-
ton, he added, is going on as vigorously
as ever, though the public has not the
same interest in Ii as was manifested ear
lier in the course of the proceeding. The
investigation will be pursued long as
there is any charge or clue on which the
work can be carried on.
The grand jury resumed its delibera-
tons today Its time was divided be-
tween the consideration of routine cases
and the post Office matters. 1t could not
be learned what witnesses appeared in the
postal cases nor what particular phase Of
the case was under consideration.
