The Cologne Gazeite describes the situation in
Isterday we got the news that Shamrock III had been beaten finally in the "Amorica" Cup races, and the hearts of all Britons mourned over the latest discomfiero of their aspirations after the possession of the coveted trophy. For Bity-two years the "America" Cap has remained in the custody of the United States despite our numerous efforts to capture it, and to all appearance there it is going to remain for many more years to come. The fights by us for the possession of the Cup and the defences made by the holders have provided splendid oppor- lanaity for international contest, and if all the glory has been one side, and that side not ours, we can at any rate say truthfully that repeated defeats bare not left a vestige of one ecossion whoa ill temper was displayed, buat happily all that sort of thing has passed away and we takeour bealing with the equaniralty of the tras sportsman, who says with a sigh, "Well, both sides can't win, and better luck next time. It stands to reason that as the Cup contests have proceeded year after year they hare become more and more formidable.to enter upon. As yacht-building has advanced, every improvement, no matter what the cost, has been adopted to better the chances of the challenger and to make sounder the defence of the trophy. In the history of the Cap Races no series will be more famous that that put up by Sir Thomes Lipton. He is probably the most popular man on either side of the Atlantie today, and bis pincky endeavours to win back the "America" Cup have been admired and watched with the keenest interest by the whole world. It was in 1899 that 'Sir Thomas first went over the Shamrock to try conclusions with the Columbia, she was dafoated. A like fate bofel Shamrock Thomas intended to wake a third attempt this year his pinck was admired on every side and the most sanguine hopes were entertained of his anecors. But, alas! we have once more to mourn defeat. It appears to

"A very gratifying feature of this latest contest for the Cup," says Mr. MacIntyre in conclusion, is that there is not a suspicion of bitterness in it. It we can win it, we have not the slightest doubt that the Americans will part with it so cheerfully as they took it away. They have not very far to come for it when they want it again, either, because the world bus shrank a lot since we once were bitter at the idea of anybody being cleverer than our selves at anything.
