WAS IT WORTH WHILE?
Now that Sir Thomas Lipton
has declared that he will not
challenge the New York "Yacht
club for another series of races
for the America's cup until
Great Britain produces a naval
architect equal to Herreshoff in
the modeling of yachts, there
will be a general reviewing of his
plucky attempts to capture the
trophy, a counting of the cost,
and a questioning as to whether
it was all worth while. It has
been estimated that the racing
with Sir Thomas has cost him
and his patriotic antagonists in
the neighborhood of $3,000,000
for boats alone, leaving out of the
calculation the cost of extra
sails, maintenance of crew, tend-
ers," shipyard, bills, etc., which
would swell the total cost heavily.
Those who jump at the con
clusion that the racing has been
a reckless waste of time and
money, overlook the fact that
the money spent on both sides of
the Atlantic in these contests has
pimply been returned to circula
tion. It has gone to the design
ers, the metal workers in the
shipyard, the sailmakers, the
crews, the shipchandlers, the
owners of dry docks, the pro
visioned, and to every branch of
trade whose products are among
the necessities in the building,
outfitting and maintenance of a
yacht. The money spent has
produced nothing tangible, it is
true, but it has given those who
spent it a large amount of recre
ation, and has also led thousands
of yachting enthusiasts to take
needed outings who might under
other circumstances have re
mained at work during the
period of racing. Moreover, the
racing has contributed to the de
velopment of international sport
ing relations which will have an
indirect influence in the strength
ening of international good will.
For Sir Thomas Lipton, whose
individual expenditures have
been larger than those of any of
the patriotic defenders of the
cup, there are compensations
from various directions, both
material and sentimental. He is
a merchant as well as knightly
yachtsman, and surely the ad
vertising he has received through
his sportsmanlike persistency
and courteous antagonism on the
yachting courses has done him
no materialJlffnrT^^l^u^iL0
"an**^rW'nas
HAVING
increased his pop-
Mty the world over, and made
himself an object of kindly con
sideration in thousands of Ameri
can homes, far from the sight of
yachts and the sound of the
waves, and established a feeling
that through the commercial in
terests on this side of the At
lantic Lipton is as much an
American, almost, as an Irish
knight. That the genial Sir
Thomas appreciates this, and
values the popular good will to
the full, is revealed in the re
mark that ho believes he has
American friends who are en
thusiastic enough to wish they
could push the Shamrock over
the line a winner.
finished his course of
lectures on Russia at the univer

Milyoukov is about to return

pectation of being arrested and

hoped, pays his Russian lecturers
well, comments the Springfield
