The Coronet bad never sailed a race
before. She was built at C. & R. Poillon’s
shipyard in Brooklyn, and was launched
in tbs spring of 1886. July, 1885, her
owner, It. T. Bush, sailed in her with bis
'amiiv to England, making the voyage iu
jventeen days and seventeen hours,
i ’’o thousand miles of the run, from the
$K"d Banks to Queenstown, were made
' even days and seventeen hours. The
*kr - n trip was made in September, 1885.
.A log shows 1!!5 miles for one day’s
during that voyage against strong
filJ winds. Since then she was Idle
I ’til the present race. Her foremast and
;>.h topmasts were shortened for the
P‘b*. and seven extra tons of lead were

(known as the Hirondelle and owned by
*• D. Bradford, Jr. Her frame was of

side covering of white oak. The comb
ings, ekyiigbt and cockpit were of solid
mahogany. As the Hirondelle she sailed
one successful race—atraiust the Vesta in

The New York Morning Journal has
the following interesting story: “Sir
Roger I'icbDorne, Hart,” Is the inscrip
tion on a visiting card which Is tacked
upon the door of a second-story hack room
&t No, 65 Fourth avenue. There the
famous claimant, urbane, stout and
seemingly contented, talks to his few vis
itors when he is not engaged in writing
''pen his book, which is to be a complete
history ot bis life and adventures.
1 oa reporter who called upon him yes
terday the claimant unfolded a queer
talc, the truth ol which he vouches for.
hue contined in Dartmouth prison the
claimant made the acquaintance of
beorge MacDonell, the notorious forger,
bo was serving a life sentence and who
oicd a lew days ago without having been
released.

THK CORONET.
October, 1866—beating tweotv mites to
windward and back from the Sandy Hook
lightship in 5 hours. 28 minutes and 57
seconds. She was beaten in two cup
races and an oeeau sweepstakes in 1867
and 1868.
In 1867 she was sold to James Gordon
Benuett, who rebuilt her at Noank to the
winter of 1868 and changed her name to
the Dauntless. Her dimensions then
were: Length on deck, 120.70 feet; W’ater
line, 116.90 feet; breadth ot beam, 24.80
feet; depth of hold, 9.70 feet; draugh., 12.3
feet; tonnage, 267.9. Almost her llrsi
run as the Dauntless was a trial trip from
New York to Queenstown. She crossed in
twelve da\ s, seventeen hours and six min
utes, and the news ot this quick passage
cabled back put all the flags on tbs City
Hail at lull mast. Only one yacht has
broken tnls record, the Sappho crossing
only one montn later in 12 days, 9 hours
aod 39 minutes. W bile abroad that year
tne Dauntless entered the Channel race
lor .yachts of all nations, from Cherbourg
around Ibo Fab light aud back, lor a cup
worth 2,500 francs, given by the Emperor
ol France through the Soclcie des Re
gates tie Cherbouig. Soon alter starling
she carried away ber lore-topmast, but
finished third among six yachts.
in 1870 the Dauntless and the Cambria
sailed tbeir famous international ocean
race from Cowes to Sandy Hook. The
Cambria won, the Dauntless finishing in
twenty-three days and seven hours, two
hours, seventeen minutes and fifteen
seconds behind her English rival. On
Aug. 10, 1870, she was beaten bv the
Magic in a race over the New York Yacht
Club’s course for the America’s cup, and
a month later she finished third in a con
He engaged a stone cutter to hew a great
cubical compartment in a block of gran
ite. and he bad a tin box made to order to
tit withiu the stone, and a granite cover
the same dimensions as the end of the tin
box to go on top. The package of £60.000
was placed in the box, the cover secured
on top and olosely sealed with wax and
concrete. The treasure was then buried
under the floor of the dining room.”
‘•Did he give you the location?”
“He gave me a design of the spot and
told me the street on which the house was
located. 1 promised him to get the money
and use it for the purpose of securing his
release, but a few days before my term
expired Mao Donnell was removed to
another portion of the prison, where It
was impossible tor me to communicate
with him. 1 neglected to gel the number
or the house, but I place explicit confl
uence in his story, and 1 propose to insti
tute a search for the £60,030.”
‘•What street was the bouse on?” the
reporter inquired.
“That 1 must decline to state,” replied
the .claimant, “but I will cheerfully give
the Information to MacDonnell’sreiatlves
or to the police if they will assist me In
the search. His relatives should know
wner he resided during the time he lived
in this city, and it will be comparatively
easy to find the hidden fortune. There were
doubts at the time a* to what McDonnell
did with all bis ill-gotten gains, but 1
think they will be dissipated wneu the
treasure is found.”
The claimant will be pleased to hear
lrora any of the relatives of the great
criminal. It is believed that most of
them live in Canada, MacDounoll having
been a native of Toronto.
A Magnetic Table.
From tho ProeidonrA 1 otrjrnm ,
Biavou, CAL.. March 21.—For ten
years past there has > tood In tho corner
of the billiard room of the principal hotel
in this town a rickety old card table. Its
worthlessness caused it to remain in tun
piuce during the changes of the hotel’s
many proprietorships. It was a round
table cover'-d with an old gray army
blanket, tacked to tbe< dge through a long
sirlpol Daitier. Af regular distances wen
four pieceaof tin clumsily nailed down lor
the players to lay their lighted cigars on.
In late years its lour rudely made legs
were so shaky that no oue oared to t'*et r

used by the guests to throw tfteir coats

test for the Newport citizen’s cup over
the Block lalaad course.
in the regatta of the New York Yacht
Club on Sept, 28, 1810, the Dauntless won
a cup presented by Rear Commodore
Dougiass. On Oct. 14, 1870, she beat tbe
Cambria la a race from buoy No. 5,
oft tbe False Hook, twenty miles
to windward and return for
a cup valued at 60 guineas. In
the Brooklvn Yacht Club regatta of June
27. 1871, she won the schooner prize from
eight competitors. Ou Oct. 24, 1871, she
sailed from the Sandy Hook Lightanip
twentv miles to windward aud return,
six minutes quicker tnan tne Livonia in
a contest for a 00-gu.nea cup, and three
days later she beat the Dreadnought over
the same course. Ou Aug. 14, 1874, she
sailed a “scrub” raoe with tbe Foam,
Wandeier aud Alarm, from Brenton’s
Reel to Vineyard Haven, for a set ol
colois, and won. In a match race,

Mohawk in 1875, from Sandy Hook
lightaulp twenty miles to windward and
return, the Dauntless won, and on the
following dav sue beat the Resolute from
the club house at Stapleton, S. 1„ to and
around the Five Fatnom Hank lightship
to tbe Sandv llook lightship. The Daunt
less was sold bv Mr. Bennett to J. K
Waller in 187 b. In 1882 sue was bougnl
by her present owner, Caldwell H.Colt.
Her lower maais were shortened lor the
ocean race about live feet, but her upper
sticks were lengthened at the same time
about as much. Her dimensions now are:
Length over all, 123.11 leet: water line,
116.7 feet: breadth, 25.7 feet; depth, 9.3
feet; draught, 11.6 ieet; tonnage, 254.04.

; to-inorrow and get anew one,” butsomo
' how this was not done until lately; per
haps then only because people began to
tear tbeir coats on tbe nails, and their
impromptu lemarltson the subject tend
ed to complicate matters.
It waa alter a double-barrel explosion
of this kind tho other day that the pro
prietor ; 'id his bartender to cut the cover
ofl the taolo and make kindling wood of
the cussed thing. The bartender whipped
out bis knife and began to carve the
blanket. Ho bad just made one savage
slash and hud started a second when his
knife struck against something metallic.
He then ripped the cover off and louud a
steel plate' nine inches long and six
inches wide, which was set flush into
tbs table. The plate was about a
foot Iron the edge, and pierced with
a dozen holes. Kvery one wondered
what It was lor, and an old townsman
remembered that the table had been
brought there from Virginia City years
ago, and presumed it was used in the
early days to play some kind ol crihbage.
When the table began to be be chopped
up. a light was
ol the tabls; for con
cealed on a little shelf by one of-the legs,
were a small battery, colls of wlro and
sumo complicate 1 machinery connected
with on .* of lbs tin (dates. Tbesa were
covered witu rust and dust.

remembered sneiug in days gone by a
man named Pick Darts win $7,000 at dice

suii<i-y thou lauds and hundreds at ruber
tlmos from those who were gambliogly
inclined. Two drinks also caused the old
townsman to suddenly recollect that
Davis caino down to Mussel Hlotigh
—as Uunford was called then—lroin
Virginia City with a big reputa
tion as a “dip chuoker,” and the boys
came in from lar and near to buck him.
Dwas said that Davis had won ovorlioo,-

called “Ducky J’iok.” As he was not
