THAMES TREASURE TRovE.
How tho Coroner sat on the Seventeen
silver lngots.


silver lngots.
when. where. how. and by what
means. and by whom, II ingots of sill
yer and other articles, said to be treas
ure troye, were found in the river
Thames, and who is entitled TO the
same?" Solemnly and with an aching
sense OF responsibility did Coroner
Braxton Hicks and his Is jurymen sit
down on Saturday to render answers
to all these questions. The first five
questions were easily enough an
swered. 1t was Richard Foster, in
spector of the Thames police, who, on
June 8, patroling the Surrey side OF
the river in is boat, discovered the
first four ingots on the first arch OF
Westminster bridge: on the second
arch he was delighted and astonished
TO discover six more; and on the third
arch two more. Then Inspector
Churcher lent a hand, and (about one
foot beneath low water) three more in
gots were discovered on the second
abutment on the Surrey side. About
a fortnight later another ingot was
discovered by the same inspector. That
was not all, however. Another ener-
getie inspector entered into the quest
of the silver, and, favored by an extra
ordinary low tide, was rewarded by
finding on the concrete bottom an in
got, surrounded by six silver-plated
fish knives with ivory handles. The
knives were part of burglary at Put
ney, and had been returned to their
owner, Mr.. Clayton. That robbery
took place March II, 1898. The ingots,
1t appears, are not of the usual trade
size, but had evidently been melted
down, along with some gold watch
cases, for the silver is mixed with gold.
In order to give the disappointed
fence" one more chance of claiming
the precious alloy, the coroners off,
Ger left the court, and addressing uni
versal space, shouted, in voice appro-
pirate to his vast audience: docs any
one claim some ingots OF silver that
were found in the river Thames at
Westminster bridge in June last%'
After a decent interval the orator re-
turned with the grave announcement
that there was no owner present. The
coroner thereupon seized the ingots on
behalf of the queen and said he would
hand them over to the treasury.

Automobile Prices.

From Harper's Weekly: There was a
time when bicycles cost $3.50 each.
Then every manufacturer whose plant
was divertibie to the manufacture
of bicycles made bicycles. Now,
after six or seven years of
very active bicycle-building and
one can buy a frst-rate bicycle
anywhere for $40 and superior buyers
can probably supply themselves for
about half that sum. What automo-
biles cost at present is best known to
persons affluent enough to puchase and
play with these machines, but, reason

ing by analogy. they will soon cost
very much less. for every factory that
can seems to be making them. Car
riage factories and bicycle factories
especially, all over the country. are
taking orders for them. This year they
are the toys of the well-to-do. BY an
other season they will be so spread
abroad that their value as playthings
may have lessened; but that is of small
consequence compared with the in-
mense field that seems to be opening
for them as vehicles for cheap and
rapid transportation. That they will
ever be brought within the means Of
all is not to be expected but there
seems to be good prospect that they
viii soon be brought within the means
Of most persons who can afford at pres
ent to keep horses.

Apropos OF the current talk Of the
advisability Of suDpressing the special
correspondent in wartime, story may
be quoted from the Spectator: During
the Franco-Prussian war a well-known
English correspondent was sent to the
front by his paper, and on one occa-
sion Won Moltke sent for him and
said: Mr.. , on such and such a
day the German army will perform
such and such a movement. If that

THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

The surprise of the day at the lawn
tennis tournament at the New Haven
Lawn club grounds yesterday was the
defeat of Robert p. Huntington of New
York city by Clarence p. Dodge of Yale.
The playing was brilliant throughout,
each man being in splendid form. Each
match was very closely contested, the
loser taking no fewer than four games
in every instance, and it took four sets
to decide the match. Mr. Dodge ex-
celled in steady playing and this doubt
less was responsible in great degree
for his notable victory The summary
was: c. p. Dodge defeated r. p. Hunt
ington, Cd, Sc, AS and Ga.
1t will be remembered that in the
other semi final singles Arthur e. Foote
defeated R. Hooker and in consequence
the finals in the singles, which will be
played this morning, will be contest
between Mr.. Dodge and Mr.. Foote. This
contest will in all probability be the
most interesting of the entire tourna-
ment. Mr.. Foote is expected to win.
He at present holds the New England
championship trophy cup and having
twice won it, should he be victorious to-
day, he will be the permanent owner of
it.
In the semi-final doubles the results
We're: Moves and Dodge defeated Paret
and Huntington, 6-3. SO, 81; Hackett
and Allen defeated Hooker and Foote,
0-6 6-3, Sc; in the consolation singles,
second round, Nettleton defeated Brown,
2-6, 6-1, 2-5; and In the semi-final con-
ISOLATION singles Smyth defeated Wat
rous rs, SO; in the doubles preliminary
round Brown and Bowles defeated Hall
and Galpin by default, Smyth and Net
Teton defeated Mason and Kearney by
default; Lewis and Morgan defeated
Henderson and Trowbridge 6-S, 81; first
round Smyth and Nettleton defeated
Brown and Bowles 62, 6-3. The final
matches will be played to-day, the sin
giles in the morning at 10 o'clock be-
tween c. P. Dodge of Yale and the dou-
bles this afternoon at o'clock by
Hackett and Allen against Noyes and
Dodge. These contests are expected to
abound in brilliant plays and will no
doubt be very close.
Large and brilliant gatherings attend
ed the teas in the evening.

own Groves dictionary of "Music and
Musicians" let it be said that Christofo-
ri was the inventor of the pianoforte,
hence "Christofori Redvivus." Mrs.
Beach says: THE new invention to
which I refer is the product of twenty
years of labor and bids fair to accom-
plish as great a benefit to the piano
forte as did those Of Christofori to the
harpsichord." THAT the invention has
a great future cannot be doubted by
anyone who has become acquainted
with it's extraordinary capabilities, and
the Christoforl of America has well
earned the gratitude of composers,
pianists and listeners in this latest pro-
duction of his genius"
