SANDERS OUP CONTESTS. MEETING OF OTAGO ASSOCIATION. A large amount of detail matter was dealt with at a meeting of tho Otago Yacht and Motor Boat Association held last evening. A telegram was read from tho Auckland Association giving the list of nominated boats to sail for the Sanders Oup. The provinces would bo represented as follows: Murihiku (Southland), Winifred (Otago), Linnet (Canterbury), Eyuin (Wellington), and Ilona, (Auckland). Napier had not nominated a boat, but had - asked tho Auckland Association to nominate a boat on behalf of tho Hawke’s Bay province. This tho Auckland Association had declined to do, as it did not think such a proposal would bo fair to tho other provinces, and Napier therefore will not bo represented. A letter was received from tho R-avcnfi-boumo Regatta Committee asking tho association to grant permission to hold a regatta on March 3.—lt was pointed out that tho Otago Yacht Club intends to hold a launch race on that date, and it was decided to see if arrangements could be made with tho club to postpone tho race to another date in order to enable tho Ravcnsbourno Club to hold its regatta. It was announced that several members and supporters of the association intended to travel with the Winifred’s crew to Auckland. Tho party, to leave Dunedin on Friday morning, will number about fourteen. Mi Q. Kellett, skipper of the Winifred, and tho members of his crew, attended tho meeting by invitation.
