A BOAT RACE.

Kea,.
1t having become noised through tn.
city that collision had occurred some
time yesterday between coaple o
steamboats, an investigation ELECTED the
following:
The "John Sylvester" leaves Phila.
delphia, for Lewes fifteen minutes ahead
of the "Republic" bound for Cap. May,
and yesterday morning when the horse
shoe was reached, it was found that the
"Republic" was closing up the gap be-
tween the two.
The "Sylvester" having TO stop at
Chester, the "Republic" caught mp and
the two came down the river almost
side by side until the "Susie Micah"
was reached in mid-river wh. III the
"Republic" had to stop and take on
passengers. After the "Republin' got
fairly started again she gradually gain
ed upon her rival until Reedy Island
was reached when they were side by side
again, the "Sylvester" forcing the "Re
public" over into shallow water until
a whistle from the latter blew signal
to stand of from the island.
The "Sylvester" complied, but the
two boats coming very close together,
the "Sylvester" somehow ran into the
" Republic" carrying away several
staunchions abaft the larboard wheel.
Intense excitement ensued and several
ladies tainted but soon everything was
righted and the " Republic" led the
way down the bay.
On the way MP another race ensued
between the same boats, the "Sylves-
ter" being miles ahead at Ship John
shoal, but the 'Repub bile" soon passed
her and reached the "Susie Mccall" at
the mouth of the Christiana, three
miles ahead. There is some talk Of the
"Sylyester" stopping at P-nnsgrove to
take on passengers from Wilmington,
also rumors that She will stop at New
Castle.
