Prominent Business Man From
Western Town Went Some.
DROPPED $34 ON HIS ROUNDS.
Then he Dropped Himself In a Gutter ,
and was Picked up , Dollarsless , by
the Police Borrowed Enough From
a Friend to Pay Fine.
When John Doe , a prominent busi
ness man from a little town not so
very far west of Norfolk , came into
the city to have a good time , lie should
either have como heavily chaperoned
or have burled his roll of currency
down in the recesses of his boot. Kail-
, Ing to make the proper preparations
before ho deserted his beastly state
of sobriety , John woke up In a gutter
down town just $34 out of pocket.
Ho was taken up by the police and
lined in court on the charge of drunk
and disorderly. Having been relieved
of his cash , ho went out to hunt up
a friend from whom ho might borrow
enough dollars to liquidate his , indebt
edness to the judge and to afterward
buy a railroad ticket back home.
John told the court that ho had had
$31 when ho struck town and that ho
had turned loose with this to have a
good time. After ho had absorbed
about all the whisky in town that ho
could comfortably encircle , ho visited
a few of the resorts on the row and
that is where ho thinks his filthy lucre
escaped. Ho doesn't know just ex
actly how it all wont , nor whore , but
ho Is dead sure Ml has disappeared
and ho knows ho had nothing with
which to finish up the police court de
tails.
John , however , thinks his time was
worth twice the $31 and will enter no
complaint. Ho will talco the North
western train for the west at 7:50 : this
evening. His wayward cash , together
with his line at court , chalks the bill
for his gay time In Norfolk at over
$10.
UPTON'S ' STORY OF THE CUP ,
Extracts From His Article In the Cos-
I mopolltan , on'His Efforts to
1 Win it.
Just when I first desired to win the
"America's" cup , I cannot positively
say. Very likely the germ of that am
bition entered my mind as far back
as the time when the "Gonosta" was
battling for the trophy. But my first
overt act , if I may use the term , was
just sixteen years ago , and it came
about , and took form , in this way :
The "Thistle" had boon in America ,
fighting valiantly , but unsuccessfully ,
for the cup. I remember sitting at
my homo , and pondering.
"England has tried and failed ; Scot
land has tried , and failed ; why not
give Ireland a chance ? "
The idea pleased me. That same
night I sat down and.wrote a long let
ter to my friend , Mr. Lane , then mem
ber of Parliament for Cork , and I
asked him to submit a proposition to
the Royal Cork Yacht Club the old
est yachting organization in the world ,
by the way to the effect that an Irish
yacht bo built from the designs of an
Irishman , and that she bo manned by
an Irish crew , and commanded by an
Irish skipper.
"I wish the challenger to be all
Irish , " I wrote , in effect , "and if the
Koyal Cork Yacht Club can give me
such a' craft , 1 will pay all expenses. "
In duo course of time Mr. Lane re
plied. The Hoyal Cork Yacht Club
was very anxious to join mo in the en
terprise , but , alas ! it was impossible.
An all-Irish challenger was out of the
question , for the reason that thoio
was nellhci Irish yacht designer nor
skipper for that class at that time. It
caused the olllcors and members of
the Cork Club much chagrin to admit
this fact , hut nevertheless it was a j
fact , and so the matter ended. | |
But the ambition to win the bit of
silver that had remained so long in
America was dead within me , nor was' '
the desire to have much of the credit
for bringing it across the Atlantic
redound to the glory of Ireland. 11
was resolved that , sooner or later , I
would have a try for It , and that Ire-1 |
land would llguro very largely In my
attempts to succeed where so many' 1
gallant sportsmen had failed. My time
did not como for many years , but fin-1 !
ally my opportunity arrived , and , true ,
to my llrst ambition , I made my chal '
lenger as much Irish as I could.
She was christened "Shamrock , "
and her consort was "Erin. " "Sham
rock" she was named , because that
is the national ( lower of my native
land , and because I have always con
sidered It an emblem of good luck.
Hundreds of letters have come to mo
in the past few years , fairly begging
mo to give the challenger another
name , arguing that ( as that name had
gone down in defeat on two occas
ions ) there must bo something un
lucky about It ; but I have invariably
replied that it was not the name that
was beaten , but the boat.
"Some day , If I live , " I wrote ono
gentleman , "a 'Shamrock' will prove
the better boat , and then you will boone
ono of the first to say that the name
was a lucky one.
So much for my efforts thus far to
lift the cup , and how I happened lo
make this achievenionl ono of Iho am-
billons of my life. Perhaps lhat am
bition Is to bo realized this year.
Perhaps the "Erin" will sail from
these shores carrying back for "Sham
rock IIJ. " the most prized yachting
trophy in all the world. I have great
faith in the third "Shamrock , " but so
had I in the other two. I have seen
the "Reliance , " and I know her to bo
very fast , but I also know "Shamrock
III. " to bo very fast.
In all , thin organization consists of
twonty-flvo boats , including the Jaunch ,
and nearly two hundred men all en
gaged In the business of trying to win
that cup. Wo are compelled to have
as much system , and as perfect an
organization , as an army or a largo
commercial house. The men must bo
in perfect health , especially the crews
of the two "Shamrocks , " Tboy must
have the best and freshest of foods ;
they must have recreation and plenty
of practice and drill. They must
know the meaning of a nod , and spring
to position at the sound of a whistle.
Our discipline must bo strict , and our
methods must be sure. There must
be no boy play during working-hours.
It is a serious , sober , absorbing task
which confronts us all. We arc here
to bring back to the old country the
cup wrested from us half a century
ago , and the men who are defending
It are seriously minded that wo shall
do no such thing.
I wish to go on record as saying one
thing , and that is that the American
people , the American sportsmen , are
the kindest people on earth.
My antagonists arc fair lighters , and
the people , whom I meet everywhere ,
are so cordial and hospitable that this
has often embarrassed me and my
associates.
Frequently 1 have been asked If I
bet on my own boat. Unreservedly I
say 1 never 'wagered a farthing , I do
not believe in bolting. I have never
bet on a horse-race , or on any sport.
I have gone into ship's pools while
crossing , but more for the reason of
not Booming to hold myself from oth
ers than for any other purpose. But
when It comes to wagering sums of
money on such a sport as yachting ,
1 would like to say that I heartily dis
approve of it , and I would bo much
displeased if anyone of my guests or
I any member of my ship's company
were to do such a thing. I know , from
what I have learned , that enormous
sums of money have boon wagorcd In
i Britain on the success of the two pro-
jjilous "Shamrocks , " but personally , I
* have done everything possible , to dis
courage this form of gambling. To *
my mind , it cheapens the sport , no
matter what the moral side of the
question. So whether "Shamrock"
wins , or loses , It will make no dlf-
1
feronco to my pocketbook , nor , I "am
confident , to that of any ono connected
with mo hero.
And what if I should win Iho cup ?
If I should , I think I know what I
would do. American yachtsmen would
have to build a different kind of boat
from either "Shamrock" or "Reliance"
to bring it back again. Cup-challong-
ors and cup-defenders are dangerous.
One stands upon our decks as ono
sails , and at any minute a spar may
fall , or a sail may fall , or a piece of
metal may fall. Yes , racing-yachts are
dangerous and useless.
Of what use to mankind , of what
use to commerce , are these beautiful
white swans ? They are of no use at
all. Do they aid the science of ship
building ? Do they leach any lesson
to the thousands of men who earn
their livelihood upon the seas ? They
do not ! They are mere racing ma
chines , nothing more , and nothing less.
When those races are ended , Ihey are
worth only so much as the metal with
in them will bring. They are of no
practical use to any one. If "Sham
rock III. " loses , I shall have to throw
her upon a scrap heap. I love her ,
because upon her my hopes are cen
tered. I want that cup to go back
wherof came from , and , in order to
meet the requirements of the defend
ers , I had to build her good-for-noth
ing , beautiful creature that she is.
But , If sno wins the cup , I will cherish
her for the glory that was hers. Yet ,
in that case , never will her typo race
again for the "America's " cup , unless
It again leaves its native shores for
the United States.
If the cup goes to Ireland , England
and Scotland , the chalongers , must
and Scotland , the challengers , must
a leal boat , to meet the defender on
the other side , If I live , and have any
voice in the matter.
I am an Irishman and I love "Sham
rock III. ' " from the edge of her keel
to the top of her mast. Cosmopolitan.
