LOOK WHO GAVE IT!

New York, June B.—Here’s the real tip-off on the kaiser. Remember that solid gold cun he presented to Wilson Marshall, the American yachtsman, for winning the race across the Atlantic, back in 1905? Is was designed by the kaiser himself and was said to be worth $5,000. Marshall gave it to the Red Cross and it was sold and resold at auction until it brought more than $125,000. The cup recently was broken up to obtain the gold for other purposes. The result was officially announced today. The “solid gold” cup was just excellent German pewter—worth at least SBS.
