— Otago Witness, 2.3.1926Betty, the new Canterbury 14-footer, registered an easy victory in the third race for the Sanders Cup, sailed yesterday morning over a windward and leeward course on the Upper Harbour. In last Saturday’s race she demonstrated her superiority in heavy weather, and in yesterday’s race she clearly proved herself superior in very light weather. In the last beat to windward for the mark at Anderson’s Bay Betty overhauled Avalon. The Auckland boat looked a sure winner to the completion of the second round of the course, when Betty proved her superiority to Avalon in pointing to windward. The Rev R.A. Chisholm dedicated the window, and, on behalf of the congregation, thanked the family of the late James Arkle for their generous gift.
