the lraPpors Of the upper wa,ers Of tha, stream

Some time in May last, Mr. Rraincrd was at White

Mr.. X at the time Mr.. Kellogg. at the request OF
Mr.. Brainerd, went to Burlington 20 Close the arrange

pcned was on board the Boat with Mr. X. when he
came to Burlington and advised with him about it,
and unexpectedly stopped at Darlington thesame day
and was sitting on the platform at the American Ito,
Eel when Mr.. Dooic came ana spoke to me, and said
they had made arrangement for running the Boats
and that he was going to commit it to writing. He
and Mr. Kellogg went together and made Il writing
stat ny the understanding which writing have in my
poss sson and the prenlnaries in substance that
the fare 10 be 81 on all the Boats and the Salts
was to continue running as Day Boat, usual and
each was TO be Independent of the other as to the
earnings, each had tier own, and each paid then
own expenses Mr. Kellogg crossed the lake with me
the same afternoon, and told me The arrangement and
showed me the writing
Next day, on our return by the Boat. Mr. Kellogg
received notice from Ncssrs Dnolitllc and Braincrd
tfa they declined carrying the arrangement INTO effect

while ON her passage between Wcstpor and Burng-

gam until she had driven the Saranac from the lake
IA get-ltl then advised the owners o. the Saltus
to keep aloo from The old monopoly, that my expert
ehce IN Negotiating with them had long before taught
me that they made these propositions not to be kept IN
good faith, but simply Tor the noise and capital that
could be made ont of them.
And it seems that the onr made by ] II Boyd, tC

some advantage thereby. His bargain was to hay,
