Upton MAY RACE AGAIN.

New York. jan 1.-The Upton letter is
still the subject OF conversation among
members OF the New York Yacht club. II
is simply asking IL the club will accept
challenge under the present rules OF
the club and the opinion is that the club
would have TO do 40 II a challenge were
received. The yachtsmen at the New
York Yacht club think that Sir Thomas
has sent the latter TO show that he is
still IN the ring. and that its effect will
be TO head off the Scotchmen who have
been thinking OF having challenger
AS long as Sir Thomas is willing 10
continue the fight Britishers are willing
to let him have the field to himeslf. but
as soon as he wdthdraws there are sew
eral others who are willing to go on
with the fight The most prominent OF
these is Kenneth Clarke, who now owns
the Kariad. Mr.. Clarke has been yachting
all his life and he would have his boat i'm
fine shape. There would not be any OF
the trouble that Sir Thomas Upton has
experienced with his sailing masters and
crews because Mr., Clarke knows from
practical experience what 10 do.

others OF the ambitious ones began to try
her out. She proved TO be the queen

clock. She was able TO show a clean
pair OF heels 10 any horse that wanted
a brush. Don Carr was the first to tackle
the mare and fade away. Orphan Boy
came on after that and took his medi
cine. Several others were tried out one
by one but when all was over the little
