Dean Recalls I With Li] The recent passing of Sir Thomas Lipton, famous Irish Sportsman and English tea merchant, who had tried in vain many times to win the "Yacht Cup" with his famed ships, .the Shamrocks, reawakened memories of a meeting that William Dean, the Director of the Palmetto Players had with the famous man, while returning to New York in 1923, j^fter an engagement in England. "While returning on the White Star liner, the Cedric, it was decided, due to the bad state of weather, to get up some entertainment on the ship. I was in charge of getting up the various things and had occasion to ask Sir Thomas, who was aboard to act as a judge in a baby and mother contest. "In making the final decision. Sir Thomas said that he had never seen so many good looking mothers with children and made an unanimous decision, awarding a silver spoon to all eleven mothers in the contest. "During the rest of the trip he was constantly sending delicacies to the i mothers in the third class cabins and candy to the children." After the landing Mr. Dean received a letter from Sir Thomas, congratulating him upon his excellent handling of the entertainments on ship and presenting him with an enameled gold brooch, with a green Shamrock IV on it.
