SANDERS CUP RACE.
AVALON WINS SECOND HEAT. A TACTICAL VICTORY. CHRISTCHURCH, February 14. Avalon won .the second race for the Sanders Cup by eight seconds after a most exciting finish. The wind dropped as the bobts were running with spinnakers out to the finishing line, and Betty was becalmed. Avalon, further out from the shore, carried' more wind and caught a puff which carried her in a winner. The Hawke’s Bay men had sailed a splendid race and' fully deserved their win.— (P.A.)
CORNWELL CUP. CHRISTCHURCH, February 14. The Cornwell Cup race was sailed this morning in changeable wind, which dropped occasionally to a flat calm. The Winsome, sailed by the Christchurch boys, led the fleet home, but because the race occupied a minute and a half over the maximum allowed the judges declared the race off. Tho race was resailed in the afternoon over a windward and leeward course in a very erratic wind. The seamanship of all the crews was superb. Result: Auckland .1, Lyttelton 2, Christchurch 3, Southland 4, Wellington 5, Hawke’s Bay 6, Otago 7. Won by 20 seconds, the third boat nine minutes later. —(P.A.)
