Sir Thomas Upton and Sir John Fer
guson:
Upton: ~ have got that wooden
box all finished for the cup, and it was
delivered to-day. thought I was
going to put the cup in it tonight, but
Ferguson: eyes, lost the key to it,
but I've found it again. The first
month it will be shown in the British
Museum in London"
Lilpton: "lt's going to become one
of the antiques there"
Gets Anonymous Letter
Sir Thomas then said that ne was
sorry he had not had a chance to try
out the silent motor aboard Shamrock
~ again, as it had all been fixed up
While on this subject he produced an
anonymous letter mailed in Boston,
which he received Yesterday, 1t was
written in feminine script and read as
follows:
"Sir Thomas Lipton-Why not play
a fair game? We hear from the other
side this yacht of yours is equipped
with motor, and we should call this
pretty mean game. You came over here
intending to take the cup. fair or foul"
after to-day" said Sir Thomas,
~ can appreciate how my friend De-
war felt when his horse fell down just
before reaching the winning post at
this years Derby in England"
MY sympathy goes out to you," re-
piled Lord Dewar. "Stll, yachting is
like horse racing, or any other sport
There's Resolute day and Shamrock
day, just the same as there is day
for some particular horse, or some
particular jockey. Maybe Monday will
be Shamrock's day."
Shows His Disappointment
Although Sir Thomas had assumed a
merry air, the weight of his disappoint-
ment still hung upon him, and the ses-
sion lacked the brilliant repartee that
marked previous ones. Finally he
turned to Lord Dewar and said: "You
tell them some of your experiences in
Whitechapel, Tom. You know, Lord
Dewar was member of Parliament for
Whitechapel, which corresponds to the
of constituents. In fact he always had
to have two election committees, so
that one could function while the other

watch to see the time, but it was gone"
SWELL" said Lord Dewar, II won one
election there through horse race.
That was the election of 1900--the So
called Khaki election. My party as
signed me to capture Whitechapel,
which was a stronghold of the opposi-
ton, and my chances were about four
to one against
zone Monday a deputation of coster-
mongers waited on me in full costume
with pearly buttons, led by the coster
king. They are great race Of sports
men. AS soon as they were ushered in

cuss any of the three great leading
questions OF the day.
Gave Tip on His Horse
No., they replied. what we want
to know is, will your horse win next
Thursday Now | have two principles
in life, and they are never to lend a
friend money or give tip.
"But I was in a hole anyway. My
chances of winning were slight, and
knew that if told them my horse
would win, and then it lost, my future
chances would be gone, too. I took a
desperate chance, and said: Gentle
men, am Of the opinion that my horse
will cross the finishing line first SIN
telling you this as my own opinion
and don't want it to go further than
these four walls
THE next heard was that the whole
borough was placing bets on Forfar-
shire, my horse. Thursday came, and
