crew scurrying to the deck, and they
were quickly followed by the officers
and Captain Adams The latter imme-
dlately dotted his hat in salute to
Sir Thomas, while one of the officers
lined up the crew and gave the order:
Nov, then, boys, all together Three
cheers for Lipton"
And the crew answered with a vim
commensurate with the ardor they had
put into sailing the WI ite sloop that
day.
Remarkable Race
Immediately afterward Sir Thomas
went into the smoking room to give
the newspaper men the interyiev mat

to-day" began Sir Thomas. at was q
very remarkable race. To think that
over course of thirty miles two
yachts should finish on what was
practically dead heat is very won
derful.
If | am fortunate enough to win
the cup it will make me considerably
happier that my opponent fai Il look
in too. 1t would certainly increase the
value of my winning very much.
II like a good fight | want d good

one of the opponents knocked out in
the first round. l like to see several
rounds and like to sec the loser win
some OF the rounds. Just the same in
yacht racing, like to see the loser

Assuming lighter vein, Sir Thomas
continued: II have sent ashore TO-
night to have the cup measured . SC

exactly fit it. Anyway, what's the good
of cup in country where you can't
use it ?"
Serious again, he went on: Il am
not bit sorry about the result of to-
days race. | am just as confident as
| was last night that Shamrock will
win the cup and so assure me achlev-
ing my lfe's desire.

Sir Thomas refused to start the in

Lord Dewar, came down 'Ah. here 5
'Whiskey Tom, now said Sir Thomas

The days mail brought him hundreds
of shamrocks from their native soil in
Ireland One small package contain cd
a model of the Shamrock Tvs hull

Newspaper Woman His Mascot
were read, the daily conversational bout
/ between Sir Thomas and Lord Dewar
commenced, to the great amusement OF
| the guests. Yesterday it centered around
d pretty young Boston newspaper
woman, Margaret Strickland.
Miss Strickland is Sir Thomas 3
! latest mascot and he is convinced her
green dress won the second race for
him. Yesterday she did not wear il
and just before the finish of the race
her green hat blew overheard.
"Never mind" said Sir Thomas;
"Dewar Is rich, and when ne marries
you he can afford to buy you new
hat"
There was great laugh at Lord
/ Dewar's expense, but he took the stu-
alton gracefully
There are seven million people in
/ London" went on Sir Thomas, but out
/ of all that number Dewar is more
versed in the subject of women than
any other man."
At this moment Lord Dewar, as if to
/ emphasize the truth of the statement
took hatpn from his coat. and coolly
pushed the butt of mis- cigarette out
of the holder with it.
He then started on the subject of
matrimony IN Africa. whence he has
just returned from big game hunting
expedition. THE cost of living has
even gone up in the Jungle he said
Before the war you could get four
wives for a pound of Lipton's tea. and
now you can get only two.
The natives have struck against
the high cost of clothing. Now they
refuse to wear the beads that formed
/ their dress. and instead they so about
just clothed in smiles.
II am afraid to say anything to you
gentlemen of the press. | am afraid
of you. My friend Upton is more ex-
perienced. He knows just what 10 say
and do. He is better than Charles the
First was. You know that when Charles
the First was On his way to be behead-
ed he turned round to his courtiers
