For the eleventh lime the attempt

been iinmarred by a single untoward
incident. The boat, have had two fair

THE SPEECH OF A MAN.
And Now One Wishes Both Boats
Could Win.
NKW YORK. Oct. 20. Sir Thomas
Upton bore hi. defeat like the gentle
man anil sportsman that he Is. "The
host boat won," he said, "and that is
as It should be.
H" was very hopeful and sanguine.
In fact, that the Shamrock would win
today's race when the wind came up
so strong,
"This Is regular Shamrock weather,"
he exclaimed to his guerts as they
came aboard. Later, after the racers
had passed the outward mark and had
covered a third of the distance back
to the starting line, Sir Thomas came
down from the bridge, where he had
been watching the raoe, and said: "W'
have no chance to win now. The Col
uinhla Is the better boat. I had hoped
for another result, but It Is no use
Nothing but an accident to the

would have been no sport In It. What-j

dors not matter now. I am convinced
that the Columbia Is the belter boat,
and she richly deserves her victory.
"The first race was a disappoint-1

"My opponents have treaited me not'

asked freely and unhesitatingly. In
short I have received nothing but kind
ness and sportsmanlike treatment
from first to laflt. Under these circum
s'arces I feel that I can truthfully
say that If I must have lost, it Is a
pleasure to have lost to such friendly
and generous rivals.
"I desire to add," resumed Sir
Thomas, "that I mean to challenge
again if I can arrange matters so as
to make It possible. At 'this itlme I
cannot go Into derails but I will try
It again some day. I have long re

and tho future possession of the Amer

English designers to excel .him. I'll
get It If I can find a man to build" the
boat. My ability in thajt dUrecrtlon
ends with my ability to pay for It. I
can neither design nor build boats."

I BOER'S CRUDE MILITARY METHODS.
LONDON, Oct. 21. Dispatches received from South Af
rica leave no doubt that the Boers failed iu their endeavor to
execute a combined attack in Natal and that the British have
achieved a brilliant victory but at the cost of. a heavy list of
killed and wounded.
The Boer plan, it is evident, wus to hold the forces at
Ladysmith by demonstrations of Free States' burghers on the
western side so as to prevent reinforcements being" pent to
Glencoe. The latter place was to be isol.-i.ed by cutting the
railway between it and Ladysmith.
Finally a large force was to make a converging attack on
I S
Glencoe.
The first two items of the programme were successfully
carried out, but the combined oeration against Glenco failed,
owing probably to the fact that the Boer military organiza
tion is too rough and amateurish to bring large forces into $
simultaneous action. j
It is believed that only 4,000 Bovrs were in action. To-
day's report says that 9,000
