Boat RACES. --"Severa accounts of races
between steamboats, on the Potomac have re-
Gently appeared 10 the Alexandria papers, One
OF these cooily states that late race having
been tie, another contest would have to take
place to decide the question o! speed. Pre-
sumug these reports 10 be true, VIC cannot be
iIove that these contests are INDUCED 10 with
the knowledge of the proprietors of the vessels.
The practice is conceded to be highly danger
GUS and has been the direct cause of many
terrible disasters. Let it be stopped before the
community is shocked by another wholesale
loss Of human life. The races alluded to by
the Washington Star, from which the above
extract is taken, were neither races 10 the cor
rect use of that term, nor by the intention of
the captains of the respective boats nor was
more steam carried by either boat than she was
entitled to carry; nor was any other than the
usual fuel, and the usual quantity OF it used.
The boats start from this city about the same
hour 10 the morning, and as they both run down
the river as far as Quantico, aud are of pretty
nearly the same rate of speed aud so keep close
together, the passengers on them imagioe a
race is 10 progress, and take great Interest 10
Its result, but there is no more danger of an ao-
cldeDt than if the boats we're running alone.
