Upton CUP CONTENDER
WILL Be SHAMROCK "
British Sportsman Authorizes
Yacht Club to Sign for
1914 Races.

LONDON, July 2l-Sir Thomas Lip
toms yacht, which will try for the Amer
ica's cup in series Of races in 1914. the
conditions OF which have been signed
and forwarded by the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club to the New York Yacht Club,
will be named Shamrock ".
Considerable correspondence has passed
between the two clubs regarding the
conditions governing the races, with es-
pecial reference to the length OF the
yachts June IS the Ulster club cabled ::
I'm view Of the fact that the yachts
will be smaller and OF a different type
from the previous contestants. is 1t not
advisable to increase the time Limit re-
garding reinstatement during the races?
We ask that any variations allowed the
defender may apply equally to the chal-
le1rer, as In previous contests.
The New York Yacht Club responded
July l., agreeing 10 increase the time
limit TO six hours, and announcing that
the same principle OF variation OF meas
rrement applies to both yachts. 1t was
added that the conditions provide that
the load water line of the challenger
shall never exceed seventy-five feet and
the deed of gift limits the defender to
ninety feet"
Cablegram From Club.
In a cablegram on July 10 the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club says:
''Sir Thomas Upton assumes that your
reference to your right to build a ninety
foot defender does not imply that this Is
the intention of your club, particularly
in the face of Sir Thomas offer ON May
Is to build a ninety-foot challenger. A
contest between yachts Of unequal size
would be wasteful and highly unsatis-
factory.
Sir Thomas understands and appre-
ciates the grounds on which the New
York Yacht Club desires to keep alive
the right to defend with a yacht of
greater length than the challenger, but
is convinced that the right is SO opposed
to the best interests of this important
international event that 1t will not be
exercised.
In this firm belief he has authorized
us to sign Internationally the agreement
he has received, and looks forward with
keen pleasure TO contest between
yachts that will be fairly matched"
