SANDERS CUP.
Winifred Wins Again in Otago Trial. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, December 12. A Sanders Cup trial race held on Otago Harbour to-day resulted in another win for Winifred. The weather for the greater part of the race was flukey, with a light south-east, which suited Winifred perfectly. The crews were changed round prior to the race, C. Pettitt, skippter of Squib, being placed in Heather, I. M’Grath taking charge of Winifred and Kennedy sailing Squib. After the first round Winifred went to the front and at one stage had an advantage of nearly six minutes over Heather, which was then second. In the last round of the course the wind dropped and btecame so flukey that it was merely a question of luck who secured a breeze. Squib here came up into second place and the race finished at a very slow pace, with Winifred about five and a half minutes ahead of Squib, and Heather over three minutes further astern in third place.
