WHO IS THE UART We Present Seme Facts and Ask the Reader to Determine. Two weeks ago the CAPE MAT HERALD exposed the sham which Cape May has bad Imposed upon It for six years In the al cged mast of the 'Shamrock in." While the people here were misled as to this spar. It was learned by the HERALD that on November id'the mast of th» | Shamrock III. had been raised as a! flag staff In a public park of U.o-L lyn, N. T.. being a glh to that city by Sir Thomas Llpton. the owner of the ocean racer, defeated by the Re Lance In the International race of the Summer of 1903. Last week the Star and Wave, the organ of those persons who have !micaed upon Cape May's credulity, always ready to make base Insinuations concerning the Herald editor, printed the following denial or apology, by whichever term it may be described: "Neither 'Captain Edwards, nor other*,' nor anybody else brought to Cape May a spar In 1903 'whit* was purported to have been the mast of "the Shamrock III.
