YACHTING .DOUBTS AS TO BETTY’S ME ASUREMEN TS. [Pee United Peess Association.] CH.RJSTCHUBGH, .Jimnary 31. Doubts as to the measurements of Betty, the defender of tlio Sanders Cup tor Canterbury, were raised at a special meeting of the Canterbury Yacht and Power Boat Club to-night. A member of the dub asked the chairman: “Mr Chairman, as you are the official measurer, 1 ask you is Betty right or wrong?” The Chairman: She is wrong. If she were altered to conform to Die Ilona moulds, we have here in Lyttelton a boat good enough to beat her, and the other provinces would also have a chance of producing Ilona boats to beat her..

A Member; Have you any proof that Betty is out? The Chairman; I have measured her myself, and she is not correct. She was condemned at Auckland by the Auckland Association. He added that the Dominion Council had been lacking in its duty in the matter, CORNWELL GU?
