Sandy Hook, July 19.
Tt was stated yesterday that Sir Thomas Lipton, after conferring with advisers, had decided to replace the skipper of the Shamrock by Captain Nicholson or Colonel Nellie, the yachting expert, but it has now been settled that Captain Burton will again sail the Shamrock in the next race for the America's Cup.
New York, July 19.
Most of the newspapers to-day declare that Sir Thomas Lipton intended to change the skipper of the Shamrock, and the manner in which the challenger was handled in the first two races is generally unfavourably commented upon.
Sir Thomas Lipton is reported to have been perturbed on reading the newspaper statements that he intended to supersede Captain Burton, but he is said to have asserted that Captain Burton will be at the wheel to-morrow, adding, " After that I cannot say, and naturally I won't discuss the subject."
admitted that an exchange has been considered but the general belief on board the Shamrock is that Captain Burton has been given one more chance.
