SANDERS CUP
FUTURE OF TROPHY. (Special to “Northern Advocate ") AUCKLAND, This Day. The future of the Sanders Memorial Cup is still in doubt. At a meeting of the Auckland Yacht and Motor-boat Association last evening, the Canterbury Yacht and Motor-boat Association, holders of the Sanders Cup, intimated that it did not propose to carry out the contest this year, now that the association was affiliated with the Now Zealand Yachting Council. The Wellington and Otago Associations wrote stating that they also had joined the new body. The chairman of the Auckland Association, Mr C. H, T. Palmer, said that now the southern bodies had decided not. to compete for the cup, the' question the Auckland Association had to decide was whether it should carry on contests for the cup in another form or hand the cup back to the donors. Mr W. A. .Johnston suggested that the cup should be allotted for inter-port racing. If this could be arranged he felt sure challenges would be forthcoming from Tauranga, Whangarei, and at least one southern port. After the matter had boen further discussed, Messrs Palmer and E. H. Northc.roft were appointed ns a subcommittee to confer with Mr S. Hislop, representing the donors of the cup, as to its future.
