Try At the Cup
Special to The Journal.

Chicago, Aug 31.-The Tribune Ca
BILE from Dublin says:
In an interview on Sir Thomas Lip
tons yacht, Erin, in Kingston, harbor
yesterday the builder of the three
Shamrocks which failed to lift the
America cup said he had not definite
ly decided whether or not to again
challenge for the trophy. He asserted
that he came to Ireland to consider
the matter, having still month or
more to make up his mind.
When Sir Thomas was informed OF
the statement made Sunday by the
secretary of the Royal Irish Yacht
club that no challenge would be sent
over until the New York Yacht Club
altered its measurement rules, he said:
The American rule at present is a
good one. 1t makes for a healthy,
wholesome, seaworthy type of boat. No
doubt it would be better for Europe
and America to have the rule, whether
American or International because a
boat built for America is of no use for
racing in this country. l am not find
ing fault with the present rule as it
now exists. 1t gives us better
chance, as it provides that the Compel
itor must be a yacht. and not ma
chine.
Il hope the coming races for the
cup will be sailed under the present
rules of the New York Yacht Club
with good, seaworthy boats"
Sir Thomas continued: IF l chal-
lenge I'm confident I'll bring over the
cup this time II l compete it will be
through the Royal Irish Yacht Club.
We challenged twice through the Roy
al Ulster Yacht Club in the north
Now l want to give the south a chance,
to see if my luck will change. If l
should win the cup it would be a great
thing for Dublin, as the subsequent
races would have to be sailed in Dub
lin bay
When Sir Thomas was asked his
opinion of Americans as sportsmen he
said: Il love the country and love the
people. They are straight as dies"

While some cane is hauled by wag-

brought up for a radius of eight or ten
miles by some sugar concern and is
hauled by rail to some center. Then
it is brought to New Orleans and from
here it is again distributed throughout
the country. The normal cane crop is
from 100000 to 325,00 tons, but this
years yield is estimated to be greatly
