CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE FILLED WITH COINS.
LONDON, June 15. Workmen demolishing Epsom's cen-tury-old grandstand, on the Derby racecourse, are surreptitiously and avidly searching for a champagne bottle filled with coins, reputed buried under the foundation stone. The problem is first to find the foundation stone, as there is none bearing an inscription. A decorated mirror, believed to have been hanging in Queen Victoria’s rooms since 1829, will be hung in the Royal apartments of the new stand. The structure will accommodate 20,000 spectators and will cost £130.000.
