IL hours. In May, 1858, the A, L. Shot
well made the run in days, 10 hours, 90
minutes, and in the same month and year
the Eclipse, under the command of Capt.
+. I. Sturgeon, made the quickest time on
record up to that time, viz: A days, 8
hours, 30 minutes. Taking into consider
alton the low water, swift current, and
other obstacles she met with, it was then
claimed for the Eclipse that she was the
fastest steamboat in the world, but no such
claim could now be sustained. We cannot
recollect that her time to Louisville has
been beaten, although we think it has, but
we have no time to explore for the last
eleven years to ascertain the fact. Be that
as it may, it is certain that several boats in
the New Orleans and st. Louis trade have
made faster time than the Eclipse"
