RACING FOR THE CUP
It Has Cost Sir Thomas Upton Over
Two Million Dollars,
And American Yachtsmen Have spent
Two and q Half Millions to Keep
the Trophy On This Side Of D
the Water.

Since 1886, when the Yankee yacht
Mayflower easily defeated tho Guitar
Galatea in two races, it has cost the
United States nearly $500. 10000 to keep
the cup on this side of the water.
Sir Thomas Upton alone has spent
$2,0O0,0OO in his attempt to lift the
cup" but, of course. the challenger Is
usually under much heavier expense
than the defender. And, furthermore,
the cost increases with each succeed
ing race. The estimated cost of build
ing the Mayfower and all necessary
accessories was 100000 of the Volun-
teer. in 1887, also about 100000. The
Vigilant, which defended the cup in
1893, cost $500, 900, including building,
rigging, maintenance. etc. In 1895 the
figures rose to 100000, when the De-
fender was the victor. The cost of the
Columbia, in 1899, was also about $780,
900; in 1901, about 100000 for tho
same boat, including tender, trial
horses, ETC., and the cost to date for
the Reliance is put by wise salts at
nearl: 100000.
The Reliance was built by a syndi-
cate composed of ten men. They are
c. Oliver Iselin, who has full charge
Of the boat; former Judge Gilbert H.
Gary, Clement A. Griscom, James j.
Hill, William H. Leeds, William
Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Henry Walters, p. A. B. Widener and
Norman B. Keam.
Mr.. Herrashoff, it is said, received
$500, 900 for this boat. There are seven
complete suits of sails for the Reli-
ance, which would add another $780,
900 to the cost Of the yacht The
wages of officers and crew can be put
down at $4,000 and the rations, main
tenance, etc., at $4,000. The dry
docking expenses must also be consid-
cred, and, with new rigging. adds an
other $4,000 to the cost. In addition,
there is that expensive thing. the ten
der, which was bought outright. and

IN private menagerie owned by J..
i B. Shank, of Chicago, there is q
pure white parrot of beautiful proper
lions which is attracting much atten-
ton among scientists. - ."-' .
Is the soul of some long-gone actor
captive in the body of this parrot?
Can the immortal William himself be
visiting us, impelled by lodgings for
the vaudeville stage, where acting
goes on forever? Is the theory of re-
incarnation on the eve of absolute
confirmation?
IT'S now the very witching hour of
night" mutters the parrot in sepul-
chral tones, as he tits up on his perch.
ITO be, or not to be-that is the Ques-
ton" Then, his mood changing, he
shrieks with mad laughter and calls
out: There's rosemary, that's for re-
membrance," and dances with satanic
CLEO up and down his cage, while he
sings "Bonny Sweet Robin is All My
JOY"
Up to the last few weeks the parrot
was as the other parrots, restless, yet
reserved, haughti]y interested in his
food, plucking noisily at the bars of
his cage, f1inging occasional epithets at
his companions in a raucous voice, and
treating too familiar visitors with su-
percilious scorn.
Then all at once his appearance and
demeanor changed. He became as an
other-Shall We Say-perSOn? His

years. He then started public training
stable in New York. He gave it up in
two years time and was signed by Count
Valensin to go to California and take
charge of his stable.
In one year Mr. Sanders developed two
worlds champions. They were Frou
Frou, 2:25A, a time made as yearling,
driven to high-wheel sulky, and Fosto,
2:22A, PAGER, also yearling.
The veteran reinsman has to his credit
FIVE yearlings with records better than
2:3O and one with mark of 1882.
Sydney was the star of Count Valen-
sins stable. Mr. John Turner, of Phil
adelphia, offered 500, 900 for Sydney aft
er the death of the count.
Mr.. Sanders then went to work for the
management of the lakewood stock farm.
He again had great luck, winning many
races and giving the colt J. F. B. record
of 2:25 as yearling.
In 1901 he came east again and had two
good money winners in Dollie Dillon,
2:O7, and Janice, 2:08A. Janice held the
worlds trotting record for mile and an
eighth until year ago.
During the 1902 season Mr.. Sanders
campaigned Amelia with great success.
She started IL times against the greatest
trotters in America, including Lord Der
by, Maj. Delmar, Susie j., rhythmic, Nut
bearer and Monte Carlo, and won eight
sets of brackets In Anzella's four other
starts she was second.
Dollie Dillon was in poor form during
the 1902 season and Amelia was Mr..
Sanders chief bread winner. Sir Albert
s., another speed marvel which he drove,
hung up a record of 2:03A. In his match
race with Prince Alert he was beaten aft
er pacing the first quarter in :2Sk. In
this race Prince Alert went the half mile
in :57A, which is a worlds record. :
Mr.. Sanders is now in charge of the
Santa Rosa stock farm of California. He
is AZ years of age and easily one OF Amer
ica's premier drivers.

with the crew cost about $4,000 alone.
This sum does not include the heavy
expense of the trial horses, the Colum-
bia and the Constitution, which have
been put in commission for this occa-
sion. J. Pierpont Morgan, the owner
Of the Columbia, and August Belmont,
who owns the Constitution, probably
have spent more than 100000 to help
the Reliance defend the cup.
Sir Thomas Upton estimates his ex-
penses for the present yacht race at
100000. This year his expenses have
been more than in former years, as he
keeps two racing yachts in commits
sion. The Shamrock III. probably
cost about 100000 to build. She has
five suits of sails, costing about $4,000
each, so that the sails alone cost $780,
900. Extra spars have been needed
from time to time, more riggings has
been found necessary and this, with
other expenses, brings the amount to
$450.OOO.
The crews on the two boats-the
Shamrock I. and the Shamrock ILL.,
number ninety men. The captains
salaries are $500 each and that Of the
officers $4,000. The eighty men COM
posing the crew draw about $50 a
month. They are engaged for six
months, making the total cost for sal
tries of officers and crew $21 900. In
addition to their wages they have been
promised SIS each by Sir Thomas for
coming 10 this side, which is in lieu
Of prize money. OF course, this would
have been increased in case the Sham
rock had been victor.
Then there is the expense Of the
Erin TO consider. It is said the food
bill alone for this boat is $4,000, to
say nothing of the wages Of the crew.
Furthermore, as both the Shamrocks
have been in dry dock % days, at a
cost of $500 day, this brings the total
cost of Sir Thomas. attempt to lift the
cup to nearly 100000, and for the
three races, in which he has competed,
something like 100000.
And yet Sir Thomas says he does not
think of the cost. The cost, therefore,
to British challengers since 1886, when
the Galatea came to this country, down
to the Shamrock III. is about $780,
900, and the United States $500. 900. or
IS, 0o0, 900 in all for both sides.

Willard F. Sanders, who drove Lou
Dillon in her recent race at Readville,
Mass, when the sensational trotting
mare stepped mile in 200, not only es-
tablishing a worlds record. but turning
trick which has been the ambition of
the trotting horse world to reach since
Maud s. brought the mark within hail
ing distance, is q st. Louisan born and
bred.
Though he has not visited the Mound
City in Is years, he is well known to the
older residents of that staid and venera-
BILE town.
His success with harness horses dur
ing the last few years has been nothing
short of phenomenal, notable among his
achievements being his campaign with
the great mare Amelia, 2:06A, during
the 1902 season.
Mr.. Sanders is a pupil of the old-time
noted reinsman, r. s. Carr, who. In the
COS, enjoyed the distinction Of owning
two of the greatest trotters Of the day
Dixie, 2:30, and Tackey, 2:26.
At that time Mr.. Sanders was just
branching out as successful driver. The
black horse, Guy, which won free-for-
all, beating Rosaline Wilkes and White
Stockings, among others, was the first
horse he drove.
MI. Sanders went from st. Louis to
Cleveland, O., and secured employment
with w. J. Gordon. Mr.. Gordon owned
large stock farm and Mr.. Sanders was
commissioned to do the purchasing.
He was told to "buy the horse Of the
century," Clingstone, 2:14. was Mr.
Sanders purchase, and that horse, driven
to a high-wheel sulky, was one OF the
stars of his time.
