Upton BLAMEs FIFE.
Declares shamrock's Failure Due to
His ErrorA

His Errors.
New York, Sept. a-Although Sir
Thomas Upton denies any friction be-
tween himself and William Fife. jr.. the
designer OF Shamrock Ill, 1t Is positively
known that not only is there friction. but
that neither Is or speaking terms with
the other. The Irish knight declines to be
interviewed on the subject beyond in
sisting that his relations with the Scotch
designer are cordial, but others in a posi-
ton to know produce proof to show that
Sir Thomas Is bitter against Fife, whom
he exclusively blames, 1t is declared, for
the miserable showing OF Shamrock H.,
against Reliance.
According to trustworthy Information,
Fife failed to consult the owner of the
challenger on subjects of paramount i'm
p%ortance to the success of the Upton mis-
sion, and made, 1t Is alleged, mathemat-
lcal calculations whereby Shamrock II.
was unable to sail within the prescribed
water line limits and make speed at the
same time. He made changes In the
boat at the eleventh hour which material
ly aided in the yachts defeat and ruined
whatever chance the craft had.
Calculations Badly Made.
F1fe,s calculations were so badly made
that Shamrock III. had a water line Of
nincty-two feet when tried in England.
This necessitated the removal Of tons of
lead here to make the boat come within
the required limit of ninety feet. Also,
1t is said. he changed the bowsprit over
here. The new bowsprit, with Its in
creased head sail plan, gave the craft a
bad lee helm.
When Reliance defeated Shamrock on
August % Sir Thomas. it is said. sought
Fife and demanded an explanation. The
designer is alleged to have said that the
200 extra square feet Of canvas on Re
lance made that boat a winner Sir
Thomas, 1t is reported, said:
We'll, IT'S funny hat you discovered
2,OOO feet Of v now and did not know
of its existence before the race"
Later Fife, it is declared, said to Sir
Thomas that Shamrock would make an
unbeatable craft IL sailed on a ninety-two
feet load at the water line. The Irish
knight is quoted as saying: That's all
pretty talk, Mr.. Fife, but what good is a
ninety-two foot boat to me when the cup
demand q ninety foot boat and
nc more?'
Might Have Lost His Boat.
So certain was Sir Thomas of victory
that, despite his ~compunctions against
betting. he offered Mr.. Iselin to stake his
sloop against the defending sloop. Iselin,
after some hesitation, replied hat Reli-
ance had so many joint owners it would
be impossible to accept the bet. Then the
wager was made, so at least Sir
has some satisfaction In knowing
that he kept his yacht when he might as
we'll ave lost it.
II was absolutely confident Of winning"
said he, and now l see, of course, that
confidence was misplaced. Yes, I
thought / had the fastest yacht. 1t seems
to me that after they skinned the boat
by taking out the lead the yacht never
did SO well. One day outside Sandy Hook
It would not go Mt ALL"
