WHAT IS A CHAMPION RACE?
TO THK EDITOR. Sir, —Will you kindly inform me wliafc is the true meaning of the word "champion" as used in connection witli the schooner race of the 2911 i instant? —and why, in a Champion Race, it should be necessary to allow time for tonnage ? I understand, from your account of the race, that although the Sybil was first past the winning post, the priz-2 is awarded to the Transit. Can the latter vepsel lay claim to the title of "champion?" By enlightening mo on this poiut, you will greatly oblige.—l am, &c., January 30, 18S0. A SoBSCRIBER. [Perhaps some of the Regatta Committee can supply the information desired in explanation of the terms used in the programme.—Ed.]
