four boats: The Dauntless and Inca. Col

and Capt. J 5. Raffo; and the Z. Dart
Messrs. Horace, +. NJ. and w. r. Dart
owners: with Messrs. Coney a. Parker as
general agents Their earnings have been
pro-rated to the various owners The own
crs Of the u. Dart objected to the PROPOSE
ton to form "A stock company. This, the
owners of the other boats We're deterrn-
ined to do. Another cause CT differen
was the fact that the board of assessors
appointed to fix each boats pro rata share,
assessed the Dart al $1,000 This was at
terward raised to $500 by consent Of the
other boats owners The Darts owners
m ade "A vigorous kick on this. which was
replied to by the statement that the Darts
first cost was only 5000 Buy our boat "
was the next proposition. This was re
fused. So the u. Dart is now in opposi-
ton and there is a three-cornered fight
on the bar between first the Dauntless.
Inca and Angie and Nellie; second the
Darien boats, Crescent city and DANDY.
and third, the L. Dart. There is one com
