SIR THOMAS LIPTON
UNABLE TO FINISH SPEECH
NEW YOEK, 4th December. After a colourful ceremony at the {H-esentation of a cup of goodwill to Sir Thomas Lipton by the Mayor of New York, Mr. James Walker, the aged sportsman, who was described as "the world's best loser," endeavoured to deliver an address of appreciation, but was overcome by emotion and was forced to sit down and allow his speech to be finished by a friend. Afterward, though pale, with lips compressed, Sir Thomas Lipton smiled wanly and allowed Mr. Walker to escort him to his automobile, which he entered without assistance. The crowd of onlookers did not realise his condition. However, he appeared better after the ceremony had finished.
