Glasgow, Scotland, Jan. 2S:-Sir
Thomas Upton, in a recent visit here,
admitted that he will try TO win the
Amorict's Cup in 1906 He will chat
lenge with a freak boat designed ty
Alfred Milne.
"Tbe possibilities of freak building
and the impossibility Of taking such a
freak rs might be useful in racing
across the Atlantic is surely d big
handicap to face" said Sir Thomas.
IF O freak boat is the best boat for
the purpose, / 90 not see why we
should shy at the building Of one. As
for the impossibility Of taking one
across thv ocean, l do not think that
any kind of a yacht, properly fitted
and strengthened for the voyage,
would be ono whit more dangerous
than fifty per cent. OF the yachts
which are constantly upon the way.
II may tell YOU" continued Sir
Thomas, "that / have already beside
me plans OF n cup challenger which
wou,d probably deserve the 1escrip'
tion of q freak better than those OF
any yacht wei built for tho purpose
