The selection of Myline is a decided snub to both 
Fife and Watson.—The World. 
Two or the famous designers whose names are 
mentioned in this dispatch relative to the building 
of a Lipton challenger should sit up and take no- 
tice. Mr. Mylne, as misspelled, may feel snubbed. 
Mr, Watson’s probable emotions are not so easily 
describable. He died in November, 1904.—New 
York Sun,
