The Oshawa Daily Times Succeeding The Oshawa Daily Reformer A Growing Newspaper in 8 Growing City VOL, 4--NO. 146 Sir Thomas Lipton Excited Over Acceptance of Challenge To New Series of Yacht Races British Merchant Prince Interviewed After Acceptance Had Been Received. Tells Many Interesting Stories of His Early Hike and of Former Boat Races -- Change in Rules Pleases Him. London.--In the flush of happy excitement over the final chal- lenge for the America's Cup, Sir Thomas Lipton was Interviewed at his home; "Osidge,'"' Southgate, in Middlesex. In the midst of his amazing ac- cumulation of rare Old Masters, modern water colors and heaped up trophies of gold and silver and ivory and brass--mostly, but not exclusively, yachting memorials-- and in the midst of his enthusiasm over his latest effort for the blue ribbon of the sea, the outstanding thing about this fine old gentle- man was-- His memories of his mother, Sir Thomas is world-famous for dodging Interviewers by telling them stories, There was no inter. view to dodge here, It was only a call to wish him luck, But the stories flowed free. The best were maternal ones, "I worked in Glasgow for half a crown a week as a lad, They gave me the freedom of the city not long ago in a gold box. Yon's it," pass- ing over a richly ornamented cop- per containing a civie parchment. "lI was the first freeman of Glas- gow; after the Princess Mary, the Duke of York and the Pirnce of Wales. I told them when they did it that every Glasgow boy at half a crown a week could do what I had done--if he had such a moth- er as mine as a guiding star." "Aye," he went on, "and I told them about the mother - who brought her boy to work for ue in later years. To encourage him I gave 'him a guinea, He never came back, When I saw his moth- er I asked why. She said, 'Oh, Mr, Lipton, Willie slicked himself up so well with your guinea he got a better job." Profit and loss. There are mothers and mothers." The Great Treasury Story after story ran like that, as Sir Thomas fingered over the five hundred magnificent pieces of goldsmiths and silversmiths work which signalize his yachting, finan- cial, and public career, There were beautiful elephant tusks, decorated by Japanese artists and mounted in gold, Great silver ships on sil- ver wheels--nefs is the collector's name for such. A huge gold lov ing cup from New York, heavy in the hands as fifteen thousand dol- lars worth of pure gold should be. An ivory and silver basket from the late Kaiser who complained that the world paid more attention to Lipton launching a yacht than to Wilhelm launching a battleship. A big silver cup from King Ed- ward. A mountain of Welsh silver in a trophy half a fathom high, A whole cabinet of silverware from American yachtsmen. And so on. ""A retired sergeant of. police walks around Osidge every night from ten to seven next morning," said Sir Thomas, 'I have had two burglars about and I don't want a third. Now my mother' -- Always his mother, How he walked twelve miles to make up a boyish quarrel with her and boy- ishly tried to show he still re- tained his temper, How she took him down by telling him she knew why he came so he was forgiven, How the highest compliment paid him was that he could make pan- cakes like his mother. How--- The stock ending of Sir Thomas Lipton's reference to his trophies, it the newspapers are to be believ- give them all for that bottomless mug the America's Cup." Sir Thomas said no such thing. He talked about his mother. He could not bear that her old home in Glasgow should be sold, He bought it, turned it into a hospital and presented it to the city. But about the America's Cup, for which his challenge had been accepted! "Oh, yes," said Sir Thomas. "I'm pleased to be after it again, My fifth time, Perhaps 'twill do it, "I think we've a good chance, It's a better type of boat, They've agreed to Class 1 of the universal rule with Lloyd's specifications, That means a real seagoing ship, not a skimming dish. The Red Hand of Ulster "Do I like the change from Sandy Hook to Newport? That's their privilege. If we had won the cup we'd say they'd have to race in Ireland for it, not the Solent. I'm challenging again under the colors of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, ye ken, so if we won It they'd have to go to Ulster to get it back. Newport is the New York Yacht Club's course, and we'll go there. , It's the place for swells, land swells I mean, I'd rather race off Sandy Hook myself, That's the place for the common people. Apart from that we know the winds and tides and currents there, or we should, for we've tried there five times, But he knows more ahout it than I do." "He was ' a quiet, dark, tense man who had joined the sea table group and had been introduced as Col. Neill, Duncan Neill, D.8.0,, it was, amateur skipper of Sir Thome as Lipton"s 23-metre Shamrock and skipper-to-be of Shamrock V., the new challenger. He was out with Shamrock IV, when Sir Wu. Burton sailed her, and he also sail- ed the 23-metre Shamrock in Am- erican waters nine years ago. "We'll have to learn as fast as we can," said Col, Neill, "We hope to have Shamrock V. built and rac- ing early in 1930. Camper and Nicholson will do their best. They are now busy on the design, "How large will she be?" "Can't say. We have no yachts in the American class. They vary in size, but they rate 76 feet. Something like our 23-metre yachts, perhaps, but a little small. er. About 70 feet water-line and, say, 120 feet on top, That is, of course, only the wildest approxi- matlon, "We'll race with a crew of about 20 men. No, we won't go over ear- ly. We'll get the benefit of all the tuning up and trial racing we can here, "With the race in September, we'll keep on this side and dodge the hot New York summer which plays hob with our English crew. "With the new class yacht built to Lloyds in contrast to a racing machine built for nothing but speed, it will be possible to sail the challenger across without con- voy and keep the crew on hoard her all the time, Our racing crews in the 23 metres live un board. "Of course the Americans will have the advantage of building four or five defenders and choos ing the fastest. We stake all on one. That is all right. The orig- ed, which is not always, is: "I'd inal America had to meet all com- ers."

Joseph Shepherd, the well-known minister of a chapel at Islington, London. Mr, Shepherd was asked by a rich American of early middle-age, living in New York, to find him a wife, but although Mr. Shepherd put this pro- posal to a women's meeting at his church not one woman showed the slightest interest in the suggestion, "Last year I was in America," Mr, Shepherd said in an interview, "I am greatly interested in the development of Anglo-American friendship, as some words of mine found their way into some American newspapers, and were read by this rich American, "He also is deeply interested in friendship between the English-speak- ing peoples, and a few days ago received a letter from him in which he ssid that he had always much ad- mired English and Scottish women, and that he was anxious to find a British wife, "He asked me to help him. 'He was sure that as a minister of re- ligion I should be able to put him in touch with a fine specimen of British womanhood, and so save him, should his request be made known in another way, from responses from mere adventuresses, "There is no doubt that this was a genuine offer, prompted by the highest possible motives. "My correspondent sent many re ferences," Mr. Shepherd continued, "which I fully investigated, and which completely bore out all that he said of himself, "He said that he would be able and was in a position to make her an allowance of about £3,000 a year, to offer his wife a luxurious home, "At the women's meeting held at my church in Upper street, Isling- ton, I mentioned this offer in an ad- dress on 'votes for women.' "The meeting was made up of all kinds of women, young, middle-aged, old, rich and poor, I told these wom- en that if anyone of them liked to be put into communication with this American I would see that it was done. "Afterwards L discussed the matter with several members who were pre- sent, "Nont one of them, however, was prepared to leave Islington to fina comfort and secufity for life as the wife of 'an American of the highest character, "Naturally, it would be easy for anyone to send a shipload of unde- sirable applicants to this American, But the type of woman I should like to have sent is exactly the type of woman who would not leave Isling- ton, "Women of my congregation were appreciative of the good will of the LIPTON 'T0 DO BEST T0 BRING BACK CUP Sir Thomas Says Victory Would Be Greatest pleasure in Life London--"I'm going to do my darndest to bring the cup back," Sir Thomas Lipton said in the first in- terview he has granted since accept- ance of his challeng® to another in. ternational yacht race in 1930, On the verandah of his mansion at Southgate, Sir Thomas appeared vig- orous and healthy, despite the fact that he will be celebrating his 80th birthday at the time when the yachts are racing off Newport a year from next September, "Do I thing I can win the cup this time?" repeated the veteran sports- man, pondering for a moment, "Well, I am going to do my darn- dest, I hope and trust we will have good Tuck. "To bring back the cup would be one of the greatest pleasures of my life." Col. Duncan Neill, Sir Thomas' rac- ing manager, said that the Shamrock V, the challenging yacht will not be a freak boat, and expressed the opin- ion that the rules for the 1930 race as outlined from New. York bettered the chances of the challenger. Stocks on the New York Stock Exchange have declined by $86,- 000,000,000.

London,~At the annual dinner at the Mansion House in honor of the archbishops and bishops, the Arche bishop of Canterbury made reference to disestablishment, saying: "I am old-fashioned enough to think that the formal expression of rightful union in the existence of the national church is still worth presery- ing, that there is still some blessing in it, "I have wondered how long this tradition would survive if the formal expression of it were removed, The actual mode of cxpression made, might have to change, It might in the course of time have to he with. drawn from our English life; but [ am satisfied that the truth it express- es would remain in our public life, as it belongs to the deepest desire of the English folk that the Realm and the Empire be a Christian state, I do not know how long it will be 50, There are signs that the demands of modern life are leaving the old standards of the Christian faith and morality high and dry, but [ am sat- isfied that what is most needed is a new tide of care and zeal for the knowledge of the faith committed to their charge among the members of that Church, which would surround those old standards and bring them to a rightful place in our common life," Controversy Caused London~The Bishop of London, Dr, Winnington Ingram, is severely criticized for disowning the action of Dr. W. F. Geikie Cobb, rector of St, Ethelburga, Bishopsgate, in giving a blessing to the recent marriage of Sir William Davidson, Sir William was recently elected to Parliament by an overwhelming ma- jority for South Kensington, in spite of the protests of -the- women voters that a man divorced. by his wife should not sit in the Commons, He re-married after the election at a register office, and then the rector gave the Church blessing, The Bishop of London" disowned the ceremony but Dr, Cobb replied; * "It did not occur to me that what the law sanctions requires the further sanction of a Bishop," He says that officials of the Church of England should show sympathy for the demand for a higher concep- tion of marriage and not yield te Catholic clamor. Attitude "Weak-Kneed" The Daily Express sides with the rector and calls the bishop's attitude "thoroughly week-kneed and uncon- vineing," at the same time declaring he is trying to put himself outside the law and above it, The controversy has stirred up the question of the Church's attitude to- wards divorce and also the relations between the Church and the State, Western crops are said to be coming along fine in.spife of the handicape of the reporters,.-- Bt, Catharines Standard, A em sis.
