The Steam Boats Wadsworth and Rush Light had
trial of speed between this and Newport last Satur-
day. The former had the advantage by about min
utes. For is miles they near together, stone
might have been tossed from boat to the other-
The Rush Light has the Babcock engine, collection
of connected pipes constituting her boiler, in which
steam at first generated by injecting the water in
to the heated pipes. This has been improved upon III
the engine now in the Rush Light DR. Wadsworths
engine consists also of pipes, vertically arranged with
safety valves to each, that injury to one does not a
feet the other, and the steam is generated from water
constantly retained in the pipes by supply fast as
the steam escapes. We congratulate DIR w. on the
success of his experiment, of which there can be
fair doubt The Babcock engine with its last improve
ment has long been considered well established, at
least in its application to small boats. The saving in
fuel by these engines very important consideration,
and in point of safety, the explosion Of the pipes could
that possibly happen, would be than the burst
ing of gun barrel confined in a strong Frame The
competition between these two boats, therefore, could
never lead to accident by the bursting of boilers but
glad perceive that the propreors of the Wads
worth have come to the resolution to avoid racing.
