Alexandria and Mattano were in collision
IN The river on Thursday. Both boats ar

Compliments of passengers. The City OF
Alexandria was uninjured, but the whole
~arhoard side Of the Mattano aft of the
wheel house was crushed in. Captain W,

following version Of the affair: Both boats

running side by side to keep rather closer
TO each other than would be the case in
other parts of the river. Under such cir

suction has a natural tendency to draw the
smaller to it and such was the case when

compelled to head more to the west in order
70 avoid going aground. The City of Alex

fair ladies from alilr lent their charms to
the occasion. At nine o'clock Wcbber's
orchestra struck up the grand march that
stirred with pleasant anticipation the eager,
inpatient feet ofthe dancers and the pro-
gramme of twelve dances was rapidly car
ricd out. The entire success of the even

Messrs. Albert Bryan, John II. Par

and others, who acted us floor managers.
