HOPES 10 ARRANGE RACE
Lipton Disappointed by Action
of New York Yacht Club.

London, Sept 27.-Sir Thomas LIP
ton is bitterly disappointed at the fail
ure of the New York Yacht club TO
accept his challenge for another series
of races for the Americas cup and is
anxiously awaiting official information
on the subject through the Royal Irish
Yacht club, which he hopes Will give
In detail the reasons for the American
clubs action
La an interview Sir Thomas said he
could not understand why his chal-
lenge had not been accepted, as ne
had been led to believe that ii he
challenged under the universal rule
which prevails for races in the United
States there was every possibility OF
his challenge being favorably received.
He added, however, that he had not
given up hope of sending yacht to
Sandy Hook In 1908 and already had
telegraphed to William Fife, the de-
signer, to come to London for con-
sultation.
There was but one thing which Sir
Thomas was emphatic about and that
was that he would not challenge under
the old rule. One reason for this Is
that there is mo designer of note In
Great Britain. which includes both
Fife and Milne, who will design boat
similar to the previous Shamrocks.
They say that to do SO would necessl-
tate the production of even greater
freak than those which have already
gone to defeat. Besides the danger
of sailing such boat across the Al,
iantic must be taken into account and

A STATEMENT FROM DIR.
ARMSTRONG,
The Well-KnOwn Eye and Nerve
Specialist of jacksonville.

1t is well-known and established
fact that 80 per cent of all headaches
and nervous troubles are reflex con-
ditions having their cause in eye
strain. Although the eyes may seem
perfect in their functions, there may
exist some trouble that is latent and
will cause many complications of the
system and produce strain upon
the entire nervous system, thereby
causing many chronic troubles to
develop.
To locate these conditions, new
science. not taught in the old schools,
has been perfected and is known as
Ophthalmology. BY this modern
system, which l now practice ex-
clusively, / straighten cross eyes
without operation, overcome all
forms of eye trouble, and chronic
and nervous arrangements disappear
within very short time. / have &C,
complished excellent results III hun
dreds of cases throughout Florida.
