With colored fires. Roman candles and
other illuminants Bristol people turned
out strongly last night and greeted the
Enterprise Transportation company's
steamer Kennebec on it's first stop from
Fan River en- route for New York. The
footing of the whistle called the people
out in droves and a big crowd was on
the dock at the foot OF Thames street
when the steamer came alongside at 7:l5.
She stayed about 20 minutes. taking on
board seven passengers, chiefly from New
port, and with whistles blowing and
searchlights flashing, the craft proceeded
past Hog Island down the west passage.
Thus after 40 years the New York steam
ers from Bristol are again running TO
