The Americas Cup, aptly termed the "Blue Ribbon of the Sea," has proven a veritable will-o’-the-wisp for yachtsmen

on tra other side of the "Pond/' No lim hun 13 craft, representing English, Siqtch, Irish and Canadian yacht clubs, have made unsuccessful efforts to capture it, but there seems to be a determination on the part of Sir Thomas Lipton to stay

in the game indefinitely.

Already this Irish yachtsmsn has si-nt

fthrée craft, each bearing the name of Shamrock, to endeavor to wrest the coveted trophy from us, and having failed, he is now building ii fourth Shani- roek to do what the other three could not.

There is no trophy in the world of

sport on which there has been expended so much money for its defense or capture. Around it has been thrown a solt oi' ii halo, but it is ii commonplace sort of ii "mug," and not piimticularly luiiidsoine. It is not what it is, but what it repre-

lants that makes it so worthy n prize.

Cup" and “The One Hundred Guinea f- __

for this race, as nniny think, but was built mersly to encourage international yacht racing, and to represent this coun- try at the British \Vorld Fair at thi- time. Built on lines of a New York pilot- -boait, she was sent to England to attain in sport the same position the Yankee clipper had attained in commerce. She was the first yacht to cross the Atlantic, md sho was given a cordial reception. In an impromptu brush she defeated the crack British cutter Laverocli, iirid the news of the Yankee yacht's spi-eil rc- sullcd in British yachtsinen ilccliiiing to roi-e with her.-

The Summer Girl? No, something less

attractive, but a more important thing to many men--the silk hull

That’s it. They say it is going. Or, rather,

that it has already gone in London. Tliis is the sad fact-at-least, it will be hailed with sorrow with that staid and respectable coterie of chop-whiskered gentlemen whose elnbimpoiui is fiitiuizly iicecntu- ated by the crowning of the high silk lint.

According to reports thc spectacular parade of tho
