Capt. Babbage has got the naptha
engine i'll his launch Claremont,
and made his first trip to Toledo

a model of neatness in the water,
and the way she travels is marvel.
The Captain intends making a reg
ular run between Newport and
Toledo and possibly as far up as
Elk City, though he has not fully
arranged yet as to his schedule of
running. We are very glad to see
the enterprise of Captain Babbage,
ANA his trim little boat will offer a
much needed means of transporta-
tion on the river. When he gets
it completed it will furnish an ex-
tremely pleasant and comfortable
mode of travel, and for small
pleasure and outing parties it can
not be eXcelled. We wish the
Captain success in his new enter
prise and sincerely believe that he
will meet with it.
