AMERICA CUP
UPTON’S LATEST -CHALLENGE. SAN FRANCISCO, April 27. Sir Thomas Lipton is bent on making a fifth attempt to capture the America Cup, and on arrival in New York, after remarking that his visit was to take a look round, lie admitted that ere next October it would be his “duty” to send another challenge to tlie Now York Yacht Club for a race in the summer of next year. Shamrock Y. will lie another cutter, of about 7-1 feel, water-line length. She will be designed by William Fife, the Scottish boat wizard; who turned out Shamrocks 1. and 111. Iler skipper will be Captain Edward Sycamore, who sailed Shamrock 11. Thus she will represent a combination of the skill behind her first three tries for the Cup.
Sir Tommy's sticking to a cutter, or single-masted vessel, eliminates suggestions of a return to schooner rac-
Sir Thomas wore a new style yachting cap, with a short visor. Ho still shunned any yacht club insignia. Tie said : “What’s the use of the United States having the Cup; she lias nothing to put in it.”
About to land ho assured those about him that lie would have no difficulties with the immigration authorities, remarking with a smile: “I have never been a co-respondent in a divorce case and bring no moral turpitude with me.”
