SANDERS CUP
AN AUCKLAND GRIEVANCE. [Pee United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, December 20. The first of the series of trial races for fourteen-foot Jellicoe ' boats, arranged to take place this evening by the°Auckland Yacht and Motor Boat Association for the purpose of selecting the Auckland representative in the Sanders Cup contest, did not eventuate. The reason .is not definitely known, but it is suggested that the proposal of the New Zealand Yacht Squadron that the age limit in future contests should be twenty-one has something to do with it. It is also stated that there is resentment among some of those concerned at the decision ’that each member of the crew over twentyone should pay £5 toward his expenses. The race was to start off Prince’s wharf, and a crowd waited on the wharf for three-quarters of an hour, but no boats appeared. Mr C. G. M'lndoe, owner of both the Val and the Rona, later stated that his boats were ready to start if the third boat engaged—the Avalon—had put in an appearance.
