b. The chief item Of interest in river
circles yesterday, was the advent of
1.-THE Sailie ", the new competitor for
the Evansville and Henderson trade.
She has been put in complete order
and looks very fine. Her officers have
put down the fare TO fifty cents for
through and way passengers. The
Mollie Norton will, of course, reduce
the fare to the same rates, and there
will doubtless be lively competition
for the trade. 1t is not probable that
either boat, if the trade is divided,
will make fortune for her owners.
| The question is one solely for the peo-
lple of Henderson to decide. IF they
have business to support two boats it
speaks we'll for the enterprise Of
our neighboring city. SO.
The Fanny Brandeis arrived from
Cairo yesterday with an excellent
trip, and adding largely here, left for
Cincinnati in the afternoons. We are
glad TO see our excellent young
/ friends, Captain Henry Miller and
t Kit r. ada, receiving such liberal pat
ironage.A......The Rapidan wentiup to
Newburg late Tuesday evening for "a
lot of hay, but the rain setting ia, they
could not get it down the bank,
and had to return without the hay.
Quite a lively party went up to
Newburg onia pleasure excursion on
the Rapidan, and were most elegantly
entertained by Captains Howell and
Fowler. -. 1.-The Noble Norton was
