Like Sir Thomas. however. It appears
that Mr.. Allom desires a. race with q
smaller boat than the ninety-foot maxi
mum length which is allowed under the
deed of gift Of the cup.
1t is regarded doubtful that Mr.. Allom
is the .yachtsman whom the New York
club members had in mind when they let
it be known that another challenge was
Anticipated, for IL was then said that the
unnamed prospective challenger would
impose no conditions other than those
prescribed by the deed OF gift upon the

Hopes for Loss Of Cup.
1.-THE greatest good that could possibly
accrue to the sport would result from
the loss Of the cup to America" said
Mr.. Allom, who Is in this city. "for Inn
mediately there would be an effort to
bring It back. and each effort would
cause some new advance In the science
of yachting.

Upton to Reply Next Week.
LONDON. March i5.-sir Thomas Lin
ton will reply through the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club next week to the rejection Of
his challenge for the Americas cup. The
full text of the New York Yacht Clubs
answer has just reached him by cable.
Sir Thomas today expressed some sur
prise at the New York yachtsmen's act
in comparing his challenge In 1907 with
the present one.
The former challenge, he said, was
made under the universal rule which
would produce q boat capable OF racing
everywhere after the Americas cup race,
built had the latest challenge been ac-
cepted would have been a freak. to be
thrown on the scrap heap after the race.
No decision has yet been reached by Sir
Thomas an to whether his challenge will
be modified.
Sir Thomas May Yet Accept.
The Standard says It thinks Sir Thomas
Upton may challenge Tor the Americas
cup with ninety-foot yacht, but IL he
decides not to challenge the honors Of
the situation will rest entirely with him,
for II must be believed that all good
sportsmen in America will have certain
feeling OF shame that his sportsmanlike
challenge has been met In such a poor
spirited manner.
