- Sir Thomas 'Upton has made some
Tit his plans publlo In an Interview with
a representative of the Yachting World.
Sir Thomas waa aaen Just after ba bad
Inspected tha Shamrock HI.
"Every stroke of work which haa
been dona upon her," said Sir Thomas,
- "haa been under tha . personal super
. Intendence of Mr. Fife. John Ward, the
, managing director of Messrs. Denny, or
or Mr. - Jackson. It seems to me cer
tain that aha will be, so far aa work
manshlp goes, a very much superior
boat to Bhamrock II. ,
"As for the design, I cannot.
course, give any details of that Just at
present; but I may aay tt.at the yacht
4a. already. J shapftr-J - am- bot h-:ir-
. prised and confident that we hava at
last got the boat we hava been aiming
at. ,. Mr. Fife doea not aay much he
never does but Z know that he shares
the opinion of tha very few competent
Judges who have seen the framework
of the yacht. That general opinion is
that she looks every inch a cup-winner
"There has not. ao far. been any or
floial statement aa to her design. la it
true that George L. Watson, assisted r
FIFE DESIGNED HER.
'The responsible designer of the
boat," replied Sir Thomas, "t William
Fife. She is his boat. The work and
the worry is his, but It Is quite true
that Mr. Watson gave aome - valuable
assistance."
"It would be accurate, then, to des
crlbe her as embodying the ideas and
experience oj", both our leading design
ere?"
"Absolutely accurate:' and I -feel con.
' fldent that tha work will be Justified tn
the result" .,
"Has any date for tha launch been
made lor the trial races r .-
"Tha .work ""la "well tinder way, but
we must, or -course, delay tne launcn
and- races until auoh time aa we may
expect . favorable - weather. -i : At present
it Is our intention to have the yacht
launched about the end-of March or in
the early days of April.' ana will be
finished as far as practicable before
aha la put In tha water, but, even with
this, tha data fixed will allow plenty of
time to . have everything done without
the slightest hurry.' After the launch
we shall allow about three- weeks or a
month for fitting out, and then the trial
. races against Shamrock I, will be started.
It is, of course, too early for us to
have all these arrangements completed,
but it is our ' Intentions to have tha
first trials on the Clyde. - Then both
boats will go South to continue tha
teat matches on the Solent and on the
more open waters of tha Wight', These
will be continued until Captain Wringa
and Mr. Fife are both confident that
they know exactly what the new boat
can do. Then both boats will return, to
ins uiyue lor a nnai match oeiore ai
mantling."
"It has been rumored thatNthere will
be no trial races in American "waters.
Is there any Intention of abandoning
that part of your plan?" ' -
"None whatever. We look to the.
trials in -American waters, to give us
a big advantage over tha previous con-
testa by enabling us to make aura that
, ,.t.tb .boaL.1 Juojight4oFtbe-propesBaeinc
pitch before refitting. . At present' It is
our intention to. have these races sailed
against : Bhamrock IX, which . was left
' in 'America mainly for that purpose.
If, : however. It. should be decided that
it ia preferable to hare Shamrock I. also
aall across, I shall have no hesitation
in taking her, also." , "
11
"It la quite possible, then, that you
might -have a fleet of three cupj-racers
. sailing together In American waters be-
.. Tore -to -next race" --.".- ,. v
"You can count anything ' possible
that we can accomplish, and that prom
ises to- better in any way our chances
in tne cup contest." i
"The date of your departure for
America" ,
"Is not yet fixed. " We desire to make
no arrangements that may fall through.
and there are many things which might
alter the date. , We shall, however.
make certain to leave -early enough to
give us good time ror all the work that
we Intend to do there before tha con
test." ,

"I expect to leave no atone that
might help ua to win unturned." -
About Little Demon. ;
. Harvey Parker, the Ultle Jemon"
. wrestler, was a very sore athlete when
he reached St Paul, after leaving Mil
, waukee. It appears that - Fred Beell,
tha Marshneld" wrestler, made the trip
- t to iflt. Paul for the'purpoae of getting
some ot the money .offered iby jarkex4
.nd the show .people to wrestlers who
could stay the regulation . 15 minutes
with Harvey without being thrown.
Parker knew that, he " could not throw
Beell in that time if the latter acted
on the defensive and he was angry tq
think that he had to go against him.
Beell. however, was there for business,
and he told Parker that he wanted the
money. i Wlien Harvey saw what he
was up against he kicked to the show
.:. management, as ha did not fancy pay
ing out his good coin. , It was finally
settled by Beell agreeing to" reduce the
.price if , Parker' failed to - throw him,
:;, and tha management had to stand half
the loss. Beell did wrestle, and Parker
' could not turn him over, and the Marsh
, field man refused to be thrown except
on his merit If Parker had been flll-
lng many- dates in the state- of Wis

OLD ELI WANTS-
WESTERN SCALPS
Yale's Football Eleven May Play
Wisconsin Next -Year.
. Yale football officials ' are discussing
a gam with a Western college for next
season. Many favor a contest, but the
wiseacres - shake their heads, , because
Yale has championship games arranged
with Harvard and Princeton, and they
fear that the strain of another hard
game will prove too -much. ,
Three years ago Yaje tried to meet
tha university ol Wisconsin in tne mm
die of the season, presenting an eleven
made up ffom tha scrubs, as usual in
practice oontests, . and without intro
ducing any . complicated -formations.
Yale was barely able to win ( to 0.
Yale, has fought shy of Western games
since then.
No game With' a' Western team can
be arranged . by Yale for' at least
month, as no captain or manager has
been elected for next season. The elec
tion of a captain has been deferred till
next month, after the question of Edgar
Qlass'v eligibility is settled. -
Until a oaptaln and manager for next
season are picked nothing definite of
next season'a policy can be crystallised
from the unofficial undergraduate eentl
ment which now favors a game with a
Western team. ' '
Yale feels especially pleasant to
ward Wisconsin because the Badgers
have half crossed the continent twice
to meet Yale crews or football teams.
Yale feels that a game with the Unl
veraity of Michigan might be arranged,
because Keene 'Fltspatrlck, the old Yale
trainer, is in charge of that team.
- Stagg, the -University- - of Chicago
coach, will have much. weight in influ
encing .Yale toJ arrange . a, game with
that team, because of his stlll-remem
be red grand career as Yala pitcher and
end rush.,, "3U,1M
Elegant New Yacht. "
America's fine fleet of steam yachts
will receive an Important addition next
year when the turbine steamer Emerald
arrives here from Glasgow. - She has

pellers. The yacht Is being fitted up in
the most complete manner.
Three turbine boats have been built
In England. One, the Tarantula, waa
for the late -Colonel McCalmont, and
showed a speed of 24 knots an hour.
The second ona was the Emerald, and
the third the f orena, for A. I Barber
of the New York Yacht Club, is yet to
be launched.
Two prominent athletes are about to
appeal to the courts for damages. One
is C 8. Titus, who rowed at Henley
last summer, and the other is Alexander
McLean, a bicycle rider.
The former -will bring suit for $10.
000 damages ' against the union Boat
Club, which recently expelled him. Me

and went to Australia, to-racei-- wing
to--Ms -disqualification by the N. C. A..
his. entry was refused at "the Australian
meets, so he has decided, to sue for
damages.

. One on t Yost. -
"Yost Is football crazy, and makes It
a practice never, to -stay in one place
more than s two t years." ; said " Trainer
Andy O'Dea of the University of Wis
consin. He does not care anything
about the institution he is' with. He
wants to have his team win. ? He went
to Kansas and beat Nebraska," and then
went to Nebraska 'and beat Kansas.
Then he went out to the Coast' to Stan
ford, - and beat everything, after which
he went tq Michigan and has beaten
everything on the schedule : for two
years. Not satisfied with this, he again
went to the Coast and cleaned up pros
pective champions out there. It In net
to be wondered at that he would like to
take the Minnesota team next year and
beat Michigan."

his animal was second at the half. A
