THE EXCLUSION OF the BRILLI ANT

The EXCURSION OF THE BRILLIANr- IA
CORRECTION The street rumors in regard &c
| race between the steamers Brilliant and
Hawkeye have NO foundation in fact We
learn from Mr.. w. T. Norris, of this city,
who made the trip on the Brilliant, tina. they
never saw or heard OF the Hawkeye at all, af-
ter leaving this place; that the Hawkeye
was not on an excursion; that che did not 90
to st. Paul at all and that the stories in re-
gard to racing are wholly false. The Bril-.
liant made an independent excursion trip
from St. Louis to St. Paul. having no connec-
ton with any other steam boat or any steam
boat line, and there was no racing with
any boat whatever. Mr.. Norris speaks in
terms of high praise of the Brilliant, and Of
her officers; says the fare was the best he
ever found on any steamboat, and that the
style and quality of the table was kept up
the entire trip; that the boat was exceeding
ly neat in every part, and that the accommo-
dations were of the very best class He says
there was fine party on board that they
remained two days at ST. Paul, visited the
surrounding country, and returned greatly
pleased with the trip.

soldiers entered the house to whip him. The
