The America Cup.
A DISAPPOINTED MAN. Sir Thomas Lipfcon, on being interviewed after Thursday’s race, said:— “ When we produce a Herreshoff (the designer of the Reliance) I will re-challenge for the Gup—not until then. “ The brains for boat-building are on this side of the Atlantic. Herreshoff is a wizard. “ The Reliance is the best boat on all winds. She won on strict merit. I am a most disappointed man.” Replying to a question regarding the Shamrock’s smaller sail area, Sir Thomas said he had entrusted everything associated with the construction and design of the yacht to the best talent in England.
