X The Peerless having refused to accept Captain Short's Challenge to sail on Monday, Captain Wells, of the Albatross, is ready, on his own account, to Sail the Peerless round Thi Tin for £100, THIS DAY (Monday), or £126 TO-MORROW (Tuesday); same canvas as Regatta canvas, and if the Peerless will not accept this Challenge, hereby offers, as a test of the two vessels, and to satisfy public curiosl ty, to Sail the Peerles3 round Tiii Tiri for £5 to Is, the Peerless, to curry any canvas she likes, and the Albatross to sail under-working canvas only, as she now lies. • Money, with acceptance or refusal, to be lodged wilh Captain D. H. McKenzie, by 10 a.m. This Day (Monday). R. WELLS. PEERLESS TO A LBATROSS. JuL In answer to your advertisement tc-day, I beg to state that, having given the Albatross two oppor tunities of racing with the Peerless, namely, on Friday and Saturday, neither of which you chose to accept, and being satisfied that your present challenge is simply bonrce, I mutt decline to entertain any farther proposals from you. For this resolve I have two reasons. In the first plate. I do not keep my vessel merely to sail matches for the: satisfaction of the public; and secondly, I have every reason to fear that, if I accepted your challenge, yon would, as on former occasions, take advantage of some quibble to back out. I leave you, therefore, to your empty boasting, believing that our respective characters are too well known for the public to mltinterpret my doing so. M. NICCOL. February 1,1875. .
