     Item 1.   Security and Issuer.
               -------------------

               This First Amendment ("First Amendment") to the Statement
     relates to the warrants (the "Warrants"), each exercisable during the
     period commencing on August 28, 1997 and ending on February 28, 1999,
     to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("New
     Common Stock"), of Smith Corona Corporation, a Delaware corporation
     (the "Company"), at an exercise price of $8.50 per share of New Common
     Stock, subject to adjustment.  The address of the principal executive
     office of the Company is 839 Route 13 South, Cortland, New York 13045.

               This First Amendment is being filed on behalf of Millennium
     Chemicals Inc. ("Millennium"), Millennium Overseas Holdings Limited
     ("Overseas"), Millennium America Holdings Inc. ("MAHI"), Millennium
     America Inc. ("America"), Millennium Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"),
     Millennium Inorganic Chemicals Inc. (formerly SCM Chemicals Inc.)
     ("Inorganic"), HMB Holdings Inc. ("HMB") and MHC Inc. ("MHC"). 
     Millennium, Overseas, MAHI, America, Holdings, Inorganic, HMB and MHC
     are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Beneficial Owners".

     Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
               -------------------------------------------------

               The shares of Common Stock formerly owned by the Beneficial
     Owners were cancelled pursuant to the Company's Third Amended Second
     Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
     Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan of Reorganization") and the Warrants were
     issued thereunder, in the ratio of one Warrant for every twenty
     cancelled shares of Common Stock.

     Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
               ----------------------

               The Warrants were issued pursuant to the Plan of
     Reorganization.  The Beneficial Owners may hold the Warrants, sell the
     Warrants or convert them into shares of the New Common Stock.  If all
     the Warrants held by the Beneficial Owners are converted into Common
     Stock when the Warrants become exercisable, the Beneficial Owners will
     hold 724,000 shares of New Common Stock (which, based upon the number
     of shares outstanding on the date hereof, would represent
     approximately 22% of the class).

     Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
               ------------------------------------

               (a)  (i) MHC is the record and beneficial owner of 724,000
     Warrants, which Warrants constitute approximately 48% of the 1,512,423
     Warrants outstanding.
