The Keweenaw and Marine City had
a race from Mackinac to this port last
Sunday evening. They both struck the
the channel at about the same time. The
Marine having the lightest draft cut
corners some, and come on to the Kew
weenaw bow first and tried to shove her
on the east bank, at least it looked so to
all who saw them, but did not succeed.
The Keweenaw then tried to force the
Marine over on the west bank, but she
failed also. They came i'm side and
side, and passengers could be seen
stepping from one boat to the other. The
Keweenaw forced the Marine over so
that she rode the dock and by this means
succeeded in getting her lines out first,
| and her passengers and crew gave loud
yell over their success. Is it not about
time the racing between these two boats
was stopped?
