Sir Thomas Upton who has done so
much for yachting, not only by his several
attempts to lift the Americas Cup but by
the donation Of valuable trophies to yacht
clubs all over the country, was entertained
at a dinner at Delmonico's last night by
the Brooklyn Yacht Club. the second oldest
yacht club in the country. About $50
yschtsmen, representing NAM of the
leading organizations, were among those
who entertained the persistent Irishman.
Sir Thomas, in his speech, announced
that in the very near future he hoped to
pave the way for another challenge, and
in closing his speech he said he hoped to
wear here, next year, a badge that had
been given to him by the club during the
yachting season. This statement, taken
in connection with the fact that Sir Thomas
lunched yesterday with flag officers Of the
New York Yacht Club and talked over
Americas Cup affairs, is taken as sufficient
intimation that all troubles have been
smoothed away, that he can have a race
under the present rules of the club, and that
" 10 INV w W fh IA w soy "hVh
the race shall be sailed.

Commodore Coler. in introducing Sir
Thomas, after toasts had been drunk to
President Roosevelt and King Edward,
said that with a good many men three times
and out was a rule in life, but with Sir
Thomas the rule seemed to be three times
out and begin again. He said:
His is the kind OF courage that never
gets a dent in It. His is the uRdaunted
spirit which has made possible the great
progress of the race Of men. We will be
glad to see him try again for the cup,a and
we hope that the race next time skill be
between seaworthy vessels and not mere
racing machines
Sir Thomas was loudly cheered when he
rose to reply. He said:
II am most grateful for this cordial re-
ceptiOn. It IL a great honor the officers and
members OF the Brooklyn Yacht Club have
bestowed on me tonight, and l am delighted
TO meet so many American yachtsmen. /

Fleming Day and the Royal Bermuda Yacht
Club on the success Of the ocean race to

sThe Brooklyn Yacht Club has lone good
work in encouraging deep sea racing. n
hope soon to see similar events in the pro-
Rrammes of all yacht clubs. There is no
recreation like the glorious sport OF yacht

a happy result.
Don't think that I have given up having
