Coop REcoRD.-Capt. J. A. Saun-
ders, of the ship Yosemite, which
arrived in port last evening, has
kindly furnished us some facts about
his vessel, which prove that she is
entitled to rank with the fastest
sailing vessels on this coast, al
though but little has been said of
her speed heretofore. Below is her
record since engaging in the Seattle
coal trade: First passage under
Capt. George Ross; from San Fran
cisco to Seattle, Is days. From
Seattle to San Francisco under J. A.
Saunders, sailed Tuesday, October
23d, 1877. Arrived at San Francisco
Wednesday, October 31st, 8 days.
Second voyage, sailed from San
Francisco, Sunday, November 18th,
1877; arrived at Port Townsend, Sun
day, November 25th, 1877. z days.
Sailed from Seattle, Saturday, De-
cember 22d. 1877; arrived at San
Francisco, Tuesday, January 1st,
1878. 10 days. Third voyage, sailed
from San Francisco, Sunday, Janu-
ary goth, 1878; arrived at Port An
gelos, Sunday, January 9th. 1878.
Arrived here, January 28th, 8 days.
Capt. Saunders claims that if he
should take off two days from his
reports of voyages as some other
do. the Yosemite would bear an
enviable record.
FINE EsTABL1sHMENT.-The Ma.
sonic building on Front street has
been elegantly fitted up by w. G..
Jameson for the reception of his
stock of jewelry, silverware, musical
merchandise, and sewing machines.
The jewelry department has been
elegantly decorated and painted, and
is furnished with beautiful walnut
and plate glass show cases; from this
room open two others, tastily ar
ranged, the one for the display of must
cal instruments, the other for sewing
machines. The work shop is in the
rear Of these rooms. In front is the
show window, fitted up with reflect
ors and revolving stands. The dis
play of jewelry and silverware in
this window would be credit to the
elegant shops Of Kearney street,
San Francisco. A man who pays
such careful attention to the wants
of his customers as Mr.. Jameson
must gain large patronage.
