AMERICA CUP.
ANOTHER SHAMROCK.
San Francisco, December 26.
A despatch from London says that Sir Thomas Lipton had a long interview with the Kin», during which his plans were unfolded, and the America Cup races discussed. The King showed the keenest interest, and offered suggestions. He said he thought it would be hard to build a boat to beat the Ameiicans, to which Sir Thomas Lipton responded that he was at least confident he could secure a yacht a good deal better than the Shamrock 11. When Sir Thomas had explained his reasons for this belief, the King appeared to be satisfied, and heartily wished him success- Sir Thomas also conveyed to the King a recapitulation of President Roosevelt's friendly on the King and upon England, which formed tho gist of the conversation between Sir Thomas Lipton and President Roosevelt when the former was in the United States. The King was evidently much pleased. In turn he expressed great admiration for President Roosevelt's personality, which, unfortunately, he knew only by hearsay. The King takes a great interest in the preparations for the building of another Challenger, which are believed to be already on foot. Captain Sycamore, in an interview, said he would shortly confer with Sir Thomas Lipton, and he had great hopes a Shamrock 111. would be the result-
