nonor Of the Pilgrims Of the TIniteI

rounded by green border, while above
the guests table were draped the flags

but several prominent men were called
upon. George T. Wilson said: AS a

nave the love and regard Of all Ameri-
cans"
Sir Thomas said: II am beginning to
mink that there Is some magic spell
about that bloomin' old cup. l have
tried and tried again to get it Without
success but Herrshoff is the greatest
designer Of the age, but am still very
hopeful that will see that cup on the
other side yet.
America Is a very hard country to
beat. and know 1t. am a very disap-
pointed man, but still have the conso-
lation that both conquerors and con-
quered belong to the same good old
race. The cup is still in the family,
only it is held by younger and more
go-ahead generation"
Sir Thomas Upton has determined
to sell Shamrock ana Ill to American
yachtsmen. and the Shamrock II. as
she stands in the yard of the John N
Robins company, Erie basin, to some
scrap iron dealer. He says that he in
tends to make another attempt to lift
the Americas cup. Not next year,
but surely again." to use his
own language There must be some
body in England able to design a cup
and am bound to find him."
Barr is a great man. but Herreshoff
Is king of them all. He made a truly
wonderful boat in the Reliance. Any
competent skipper with the Reliance
could have beaten the Shamrock so
does the American tower
over my craft"
c. Oliver Iseln. managing owner of |
he Reliance says:
"Of course. l am proud of the result. |
\ splendid boat, a splendid crew and |
.aptain, and all helped in the result"
rhe syndicate that built the Reliance
will give Captain Barr an annuity of
2 900 a year.
