made q very good run to this place, but
made no time worthy of recording in
the turf or river register. The Rich
mond arrived at the staa wharfbost at
I:03 pm, by Memphis time. The Ruth
came in to the city wharfboat at 1:I3 |
pm, or ten minutes , later than the

we publish below it would appear that 4
the Ruth arrived here first. Such Is not !
! the fact, and the difference Ia the time |
may be attributed 10 the variation If
watches. The Richmond lst IT. a few
minutes, while the Ruth lost some time
with a couple OF Coz barges which she
took in tow, and by the time she dropped
them she former bOathad a lead of from
Seven to nine miles. Many bets have
been made on the result 20 Cairo, and
the friends of both steamers are sanguine

Us, give US liberty or give US death.
