a trip to this place, and perhaps to Glencoe to-
morrow, and so at noon get on board the
steamer Favorite was little surprised to
find so well-arranged, elegant boat on the
Minnesota River. Some two years ago l made
trip upon little boat, in the summer time,
and as we Jared not very well, 1 have some
what unthirkingly associated Minnesota steam
boating with no very profound ideas of COM
fort. But the Fayorite has dispelled all that
it is commodious, neat, and exceedingly
well-appointed boat in all respects.
