90 - The new, and magnificent steamer
S. FL. Trabue, wasn ut Evansville Wednes-
day evening, on her first trip South. She is
in every particular a splendid vessel, and one
of which even Capt. Jim Tucker may feel
vastly proud Crowds of our citizens visited
the Trabue, notwithstanding her arrival after
dark, attracted by the music of the splendid
band on the boar and by the reports Of the
long, with 35 feet beam, and 80 feet floor
She has two splendid engines, with cylinders
80 inches in diameter, and 81 feet stroke
Wheels 80 feet in diameter and 49, inches
bucket. The cabin is very elegantly furnish
ed in the scini-goihic style, and beautifully
carpeted We presume from the model OF
this boat, that she will be fast runner
The Trabue had large number of passen-
gers, aud including among others, three we'd
ding parties! lf the whole company do not
have a pleasant time, il will not be the fault
of Capt. Tucker and his officers.
- Reisinger's Sax Horn Band, of New
Albany, were on the Trabue, employed to ac-
company her the first trip. This is undoubt-
edly the best band in the State, and its music
certainly claimed the adm of our cit
liens. We regret not being in when the
members called at The Journal Office, but our
New Albany Foreman took the visit 10 him
self, land did the honors very properly TO
- We thank Mr.. Rowley, formerly OF
the firm OF Smith & Rowley, for large pack

it rather the tallest fire he ever did see.

papers, I, is supposed that this fast and re-
a4ly excellent steamer will soon commence
running as an Evansville and Louisville
packet in connection with the Fawn. We
hope so, as she is a good boat, and two pack
cts will be supported as well in this trade al
