nificent ever placed on boats also specimen of
Louisville workmanship. The china, glassware and
elegant plate with which the boat is supplied was also
manufactured at Louisville.
The Duncan F. Kenner is designed to run excIu.
svely as mail and passenger packet between this
city and Bayou Sara, Captain Cotton being deter
mined to make three trips per week. which was never
before attempted, and, we think can be readily ac-
complished by the Kenner. She will take no freight
and stop only at regular stations including the twenty
two mail landings the route. Her days of leaving
New Orleans will be Sunday Wednesday and Friday,
starting punctuay at O'Clock each morning. Her
days of leaving Bayou Sara are Monday, Thursday
and Saturday at o'clock each morning. This divides
the week, giving an entire day, Tuesday, to lie by in
New Orleans to reft, overhaul and clean boilers The
distance to Bayou Sara is 165 miles, and the usual
number of landings on the trip are 100.
The entire cost of the Kenner was SIS 0O0 but will
we doubt not directed by the energy and wisdom of
her enterprisng owner, prove profitable investment.
Capt. Cotton will make few trips on the boat as
commander, when he will resign her to the care of
Capt. Eugene Lanoue, gentleman and an officer
every way worthy and competent to take upon him
self the command of the new and queenly packet,
and whose popularity as thorough, intelligent and
practical steamtoatman, will add in no small degree
pective. Mr.. E. B. Mumford, the gentlemanly and
efficient clerk elect of the Kenner is the old favorte
of the travelling public formerly in charge of the office
of the Capitol. The Kenner will leave on her maiden
trip to Bayou Sara next Wednesday. Success and
good fortune attend her.
