DISCOVERY OF MONEY AT EaKEMONT.---011 Sunday
last week four youths, whose parents lice in the neigh-
bourhood of Great Crosshall-street, while digging, for
amusement, fon the embankment adjoining the shore,
between Egremont and New Brighton, found a large
number of hal&crowns, amounting to £l5, which were
unusually black, indicating that they must have been
lying there for sope years. They took away about half
the treasure, and after again hiding the remainder, they
proceeded homewards, calling at a liquor-vault for some
wine with which to astonish their parents. Onreaching
their homes they divided the booty with their parents;
but, on being questioned, they refused to state where the
remainder of the treasure was concealed. It is supposed
that the money was hidden in the place where it was found
by the assassin of the baker Peacopp, who was robbed and
murdered in the neighbourhoodof Rock-lanes few years ago.
BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB.—The first race
of the season took place on Saturday, the prize being a
cup, value £2O, open to yachts of the first class. The
course was from Monks' Ferry round a flag-boat stationed
off Eastham, thence round a flag-boat stationed off the
Dingle, back round the Eastham flag-boat, thence back
round the Dingle flag-boat, returning direct to Monks'
Ferry, passing between the shore and flag-boat moored off
the club-house. The time allowed for the smaller boats
was one minute and a half up to five tons, and one minute
over that tonnage. At starting the yachts, which were
all sloop-rigged, were stationed in the following order

The event excited considerable interest, as it was
thought the struggle would lie between the two new boats,
the Electric and Challenge, the former of which was built
by Mr. Bishop, of Birkenhead, and the latter by Mr.
Kelly, of Liverpool, to replace the Presto, which won the
Challenge Cup last year. The flag-boat at Monks' Ferry
was reached by the H. M. a.
Challenge
Electric 5 30 0
Spirit
The Spirit, being 3 tons less than the Challenge, and 21
tons less than the Electric, was declared, according to the
given time for less tonnage, to have won the match. She
had been sailed by Mr. John Wilkinson, the owner's son,
who, shortly after the termination of the race,_ was pre-
sefited with the cup on board the steamer, by Mr, Edwin
Haigh, the commedore of club,
