KING’S CUP AT COWES.
WON BY SIR THOMAS LIPTON. (British Official Wireless.) Received August 6, 8.5 a.m. RUGBY, Aug. 4. The race for the King’s Cup at Cowes to-day was won by Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock in 4 hours 16 minutes. It is the first time that Sir Thomas Lipton has been ablo to enter for this trophy. The King’s cutter, Britannia, was scratched from the race by His Majesty following on the accident yesterday, when the second mate was swept overboard and drowned. Recently Sir Thomas Lipton was elected a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron—probably the most exclusive club in the world. This entitles him to race for the King’s Cup.
