SANDERS CUP TRIALS.
SECOND WELLINGTON RACE. [BY telegraph.—press association.] WELLINGTON. Wednesday. The second trial race for the Sanders Cup took place last evening in light southerly weather. The Wellesley managed to get a 4s break on All Black and maintained her lead, rounding Coromandel Buoy half a length in front of All Black. Wellesley seemed to hold the windward position steadily, and gradually drew away from the other boat. Peggy rounded Coromandel Buoy last. At this stage Peggy appeared to blanket All Black. The wind had now freshened to a nice steady breeze, and all the boats carried leading jibs. About half-way between the buoy and home, All Black changed her headsail to a working jib, and seemed slightly to improve her position. In the end Wellesley won by 52s from All Black. Honours are now even.
