IDLE ALONG CUP
WELLINGTON WIN ALL SIX RACES Sailing the Evans Bay Yacht and Motor-boat Club's Vampire, the Wellington representative crew won the sixih and final race of the scries for the New Zealand Idle Along Championship Cup at Tauranga on Friday, and as they had won the first five they took the cup without strenuous opposition. The sixth race was sailed in a light north-north-easterly. Bay of Plenty gained second place in the race and Waikato third. Points gained in the championship were:—Wellington, 35; Bay of Plenty, 29; Waikato, 21. Bay of Plenty wer; the holders of the cup, having won it in the first annual contest held on Port Nicholson last year. Though Wellington now holds the cup and with it the rignt to conduct the next contest here, the decision of the Wellington Provincial Yacht and Motoi>boat Association to waive all rights to contests until 1940 when it is hoped to have all the national yachting races here means that any port which wants the Idle Along championship contest next year may have it. There is the possibility, however, that no other port will wish to take the contest from Wellington, the stronghold of the I class and the most centrally situated.
