At a recent dinner in London Sir John Martin Harvey told a good story of Sir Thomas Lipton. On one of the occasions when Shamrock waa beaten suggestions were made in certain quarters that the race had been an unfair one. American reporters hurried to interview him.

"I must admit that the Americans deliberately put something into the water that prevented my yacht from winning." "What was that?" came the excited chorus. "Why, the defender, of course."
