Brown desires us to express his profound
thanks and gratitude to the merchants

she will enter next Tuesday, The Webb
makes this tripup the Cumberland as far

The Morning Star on her last trip from
Memphis had the good fortune to fall in
with the Mollie Able, the fastest boat that
runs from st. Louis, and passed her fairly
under way, and maintained the lead to
| Cairo, Notwithstanding the Mollie made
repeated efforts to pass her in turn. Capt.
Dallas says it was the hottest and closest
race he ever INDUCED in, the Mollie giving
him all he could do to keep the lead. This
establishes the reputation of the Star as
| the fastest boat on the Western waters
