It Is quite appropriate that mention be made of the winning yvesterday of the first of the Cup races by the chal- lenger, Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock 1V, and of the manner of its accept- ance by the victorious yachtsman. It is appropriate, the word being used advisedly, because we naturally hope that there will be no other op- portunity during the races, to con- gratulate Sir Thomas for a win He did not want to accept the vie- tory He did not care to gain the first blood in the battle through the disabling of the American craft. His direct words tell this; but more surely did his expression of anxiety display his desire for a fair race when he said, at the happening of the catastrophe to the Resolute, “Wait a minute; I don’t believe it is serious.” He hoped that the Resolute would be able to continue in the race against his yacht. And yet the Resolute was at that moment ahead of the Shamro~k But procedent and made it necessary that the victory be the challenger, despite the tune to the American yacht. Good sportsmanship may everything, life business tercourse. Sir Thomas Most Englishmen possess it despite denial of those who hate everything that is English.
