PLEA FOR SETTLEMENT
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post.") AUCKLAND, This Day. "Tho Auckland Star" today concludes an editorial on the Sanders Cup as follows: — "As to the government of the races by the New Zealand body, Auckland is entitled to point out that it is- the largest yachting centre, but should concede^ the principle o£ Dominion control. . This operates in all sport, and yachtsmen will not be content to compete in contests in tho management of which they have no voice. All Auckland yachtsmen wish to see this trouble settled, and it is by no means certain that the policy of the local association" meets with general approval. There have been differences with the south before, and they have' been amicably settled. Cannot the present differences be settled, in the same spirit? These races are sailed in memory of a heroic seaman who lost his life in a struggle lor ideals held'in common, and'this fact cries shame on such quarrelling. Bettor put the cup away than have it sullied by bickerings or by any dec-line from the truly national nature of the contest."
