Accept the Lipton Cup. 
The Board of Governors of the Brooklyn Y. 
C. met at the office of Commodore W. C. 
Tower and formally accepted from Sir Thomas 
Lipton the tender of the $1,000 cup offered for 
an ocean race. A resolution was passed ex-t 
pressing the club’s appreciation of Sir Thomas’s 
interest and generosity, and forwarded to him. 
Respecting the arrangements for the race the 
board decided to leave the selection of a course 
and the other details of the contest to the Re¬ 
gatta Committee for its disposition, with in¬ 
structions, however, not to- race to Bermuda. 
It was suggested that a race might be held to 
Nassau instead, and this proposition was re¬ 
ceived with some favor. It is also possible 
that the race may simply go to the northeast 
end lightship off Cape May. 
The deed of gift drawn uo by the Interna¬ 
tional Cup Committee of the club was approved 
and the cup will be offered on those terms. 
A proposition was also received and referred 
to the Regatta Committee looking toward the 
co-operation of the club with the Motor Boat 
Club of America in the annual race week carni¬ 
val of the latter club, holding the same on 
Gravesend Bay instead of on the Hudson next 
year.

The Shamrock Not Coming. 
London, Monday.—Sir Thomas Lipton de¬ 
clares that he has no intention to race the new 
Shamrock for the International cup recently 
offered by the Brooklyn Y. C. for competition 
in American waters in 1908. He says that next 
season he will be fully employed in British 
waters, for which the Shamrock was specially 
built. He would be glad, he added, if America 
would send a yacht to compete here, but failing 
that he feared that the International contest 
must stand adjourned.
