All we ask is a turn of luck, and, in the presene of the American Ambassador, I say I b lieve it will be as popular in Ameri- ca as it will be in this country if, at 80 years of age, Sir Thomas rings back to this country the Cup which was won by America when he was one year old."
The American Ambassador said that pow Britain had shown she had the fastest aeroplane and the fastest motor car, Americans would be somewhat disappointed if she had the fastest yacht also. He wanted to say with all sincerity that the disappointment they would, fool. if. Sir Thomas won the race would not only be assuaged, but fully offset, in their pride in the sportsmanship of this veteran who was taking his fifth attempt. Good luck to him.
