Business on the Levee continues dull,
Notwithstanding the number of arrivals
have been considerable. The Liberty No.
got aground and did not arrive till mid
night of Monday. One of her deck hands
{, shot another and stole the yawl and made
for shore. In running in to recover the
yawl. she got aground and thus fell behind.
She had a big trip of freight and people,
every berth being full and large demand
for cots in the cabin. Darling, En-
peror and Shamrock had good trips--.~-...

Captain John Dexter, of Evansville, is at
the Spencer House. He reports Evansville
and its marine interests hourishing finely.
The Pitts burgh Commercial, in its notice
of the splendid new steamer named after
Captain Dick Gray, says he is one of the
Oldest steamboatmen.rl Now we are of the
opinion that Captain Evans has made a
mistake in not saying that he is the Oldest
steamboat commander now engaged in the
business, as friend at our elbow says he
made atrip on the old low pressure steamer
Vesuvius, In 1920, commanded by /" We am
Client mariner, Captain Dick Gray" which
goes to show thet he has been on the river
over forty-five years, instead of twenty
Captain Evans please stand corrected in
this important historical marine record?

cloudy yesterday, with high winds and
copious showers during the day. At Pitts
