Capt. Brevard Floyd, OF the steamer
Kate Spencer, says that when his boat
comes Off the ways that he fully expects
her to be able to outrun the famous tug
Three Friends. which recently defeated
the Spencer several times in friendly
brushes. Capt. Floyd says that the Spen-
Ger was then entirely UNFIT for a race, but
as it was the Three Friends could only
beat her by a few minutes in a forty
mile run, and he now expects that the
Spencer will turn the tables on the ex-
filibuster and beat her as easily as she
has beaten the Spencer. AS soon as the
Spencer comes off the ways Capt. Floyd
will challenge the Three Friends for a
race at sea. and then as both boats will
be in perfect condition the question viii
be settled as to which one of the boats Is
the faster.
