(about 20 feet in length) went through the
two upper locks or the Seneca Falls, loaded
with upwards of one hundred persons, in pre-

ed from different parts OF the country. The
boat having entered the upper Guard Lock
went through the new Canal, nearly S-4ths
of mIe IN length. and descended two Locks,
in d minutes--then Turned about in the Sen
icsa river and re-ascenJed the Locks, in tni-
