The Kansas troops encamped at
San Francisco are still troubled I
with a plethora ot nightshirts sent
to them by industrious wives
sisters and sweethearts. A lieuten
ant of the Twentieth writes : “Let
the Kansas girls know that their
nightshirts and pajama are apptes
ciated, even if we cannot wear
them for the purposes for which
they were intended. I have a no
tion that when we ge„ to Manila
these garments will come in
mighty hancy for an everyday
dress. I have seen some pictures
of Manila women who seem to be
wearing a mother hubbard some
what like three I have in my chest
and I reckon mother hubbards
are just about suited to thj Ma-'
nda climate.”
SIR TOM UPTON
Proposes to Win The Ameri

London, Aug. 5 —While the
• challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton
• for America’s cup continues to
be continually indorsed, an un
dercurrent of resentment pre-
[ r
vails in the highest yachting
circles, not on account of the
Dunraven incident, but it is al
leged, because Sir Thomas Lip
ton is not considered as a repre
sentative yachtsman.
It transpires that the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club wrote as a
matter of etiquette to the Yacht
i Racing Association asking for
the latter's approval and adv ce
• in regard to the challenge. The
Yacht Racing Association ac
knowled the receipt of the letter,
’ but said they had no jurisdiction
either to accelerate or impede
the matter.
Charles Russell, who has been
delegated to band Sir Thomas’
challenge to the New York Yacht
Club, will leave London today
in order to confer with the ofli
cials of the Yacht Racing Asso
ciation. If he finds they have no
jurisdiction in the matter he will
ask then to announce the fact
forthwith.
Immediately after this matter
is settled the challenge will be
signed by the Royal Ulster Club
and will be cabled to New York
The same cable dispatch will
announce that Mr Russell is
sailing for the United States to
exchange views with the officials
of the New York Yacht Club
Later, probably August 24th,
representatives of the Royal Ul
ster Yacht Club will also start
for New York for the purpose of
signing the contract for the
contest.
Messrs. Lipton and Russell
and the builder and designer of
the yacht which is to compete
for America’s cup had a three
hours’ conference today in which
they discussed details in connec
tson with the Shamrock. It was
merely a preliminary inter
change of ideas, however, and
nothing definite was settled.
Sir Thomas Lipton was inter
viewed today in regard to the
proposed race and expressed sat
isfaction at the cordial accept
ance of the announcement of the
challenge in the United States.
He said :
“Os one thing I am quite cer
tain. Whatever may be the result
of the race, I shall have no cause
to complain of the treatment bv
my fellow sportsmen across the
Atlantic. There are no yachts
men with whom I would rather
engage in a friendly encounter
than those of the United
States.”
Mr. Russell in an interview
• said :
“England and Scotland failed
to carry off the cup. Now
an Irishman is going to spend
from £50,000 to £60,000 merely
from love of the sport and to
have a fair, square try.”
Continuing Mr. Russell said :
“Relative to the excursion
boat nuisance, Sir Thomas has
perfect confidence that his
American rivals will permit
nothin" to interfere with a clear
course for the competitors.”
The St. James Gazette this
afternoon commenting on the
' proposed race says :
i “Opinions at Cowes may be
divided as to th° advisability of
risking further discussions of
the same nature as those that
marred the last race, but there
is no reason why the conditions
of what occurred should reap
pear. There were lessons to be
learned on both sides and if the
American will kiddly remove
their submarine contact mines
and not arrange a torpedo dis
play on the day of the race there
is no reason why the new En
glish yacht should not have fair
play.
