That jolly old sea dog. Sir Tom Lip

ping mediocre ninety footers in his
three efforts to dislodge the Americas
cup from its rOOsting place. and now
he is spending another big bundle on
cups for a dozen or more American
yacht clubs. These cups are raced for
annually and, while they add much to
the gayety of sport, they also serve to
keep Sir Toms name In the newspa-
pers. This latter circumstance in no.
wise lowers the selling qualities of his
teas. candies and pickles. 1t is 10 be

consists of a run to the island of Ber-

HIS FIRST PLAY IN YEARS.
Charles Stewart Not In n Theater

Charles Stewart of New York went
to the theater for the first time in
more than forty years the other night.
when he saw the performance of Hap
pyland" at the Casino. says the New
York World. Mr. Stewart. who is
about lightweight years old. was ac-
companied by his wife.
The first and last time Mr.. Stewart
was in a theater was the night PTesi-
dent Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes
Booth in Ford'S theater. Washington.
The tragedy made so great an impress
sion on him that he never had the cour-
age until the other night To attend a
theatrical performance. The night Lin
coin was shot Mr.. Stewart was in the
box next to the one occupied by the
martyred president.
Until the other evening Mr.. Stewart
had never seen comic opera. but he
seemed pleased with the performance.
He appeared little dazed at the COM
edy, though. and very much amazed at
the physical display on the part of the
chorus. 1t took two newspaper men
about five minutes TO explain why the
police permitted the appearance of wo-
men without their skirts and with
waists.
During one of the intermissions OF
the play Mr. Stewart said. Things
are little changed since 1 was a boy.
and l am simply amazed at it all"
He was so pleased at the show that
he said he would try it again SOON

In the meantime everything possible
to show the American yachtsmen that
they are welcome will be done The
house of assembly has so amended the
pilot act that the racers will not be
obliged to stop TO pick up pilots. and
all harbor dues will also be waived.
Brooklyn yachtSmen are just a little
dubious as TO the pilot question. 1t is
known that reefs abound about Hamil-
ton. and the prospect of scraping ones
keel off is not pleasant to contemplate.
The cup offered for this Bermuda
race is a special prize. The original

Brooklyn Yacht club three years ago
and has been sailed for and won twice.
The first race for the cup, three years
ago. was sailed to Marblehead. and
was won by the Little Rhody of Bos-

miles in the Olympic games at Athens,
Is. strangely enough, one of the frail

feet tall and weighs but 122 pounds,
yet by sheer endurance he outran the
picked long distance stars of more than
half dozen nations. Greece alone Of
fered twenty-seven entries, but none of
the descendants of the famed laurel
wreath winners of the past was even
in the same class with the Canadian.
The Marathon race was the big con-
test of the final day of dhe games. the
grueling run of twenty-six miles that
every athlete wanted to win. 1t over
Swallowed everything else in impor-
lance, the entire pOpulace of Athens

while thousands of others were spread

consisted of the twenty-seven Greeks,
seven Britons, including Canadians and
Australians; five Americans, three Ger

three Swiss. one Belgian, one Dane and
two Egyptians. Hundreds of vehicles

The towering sides OF the Stadium
seemed TO rock as the cry went up that
runner was nearing the finish there.
Far in the distance a cloud of dust
arose and as it came closer the outlines
Of two figures could be seen struggling
for the gates. One was the little Cana
dian and the other Swamberg, the
Swede. With his eyes almost closed
and covered from head to foot with
CRIME and dirt, the plucky little Cana
dian kept his lead of a foot.
The Greek princes jumped from their
seats and ran alongside of Sherring.
cheering him. Swamberg faltered. 1t
was a few strides to the finish, and
Sherring. with desperate gasp, reach
ed 1t. King George was the first to
reach him, and he grasped the lads
hand, while the queen handed him
bouquet of flowers.
The first four finished within five
minutes of each other. Sherring's time
for the twenty-five miles was hours
81 minutes % 3-5 seconds.
Michael Spring, upon whom the
Americans pinned their faith. was
beaten off with the rest, including
Loues and the other famed Greeks. 1t
was bitter defeat for the latter to be
beaten at their own game, but they
have no excuse. Sherring outran them
from the start
Sherring has been running seven
years. His skill as a runner has been
developed mainly in Hamffton's yearly
road races, held on Thanksgiving day.
