The Sidney and Hill both gave ex-

of the hottest battles to land passen-
gers which has ever been staged in
this vicinity.
RIGHT ON THE JOB.
The fight started over on the Dav-
export side, where both steamers were
tied side by side. Men with mega
phones and armed with tickets, ad-
vanced as far back as Third street
and lined both sides of Brady street
to the river bank, shouting the merits
OF their boats. The Sidney calliope ar
fist would yank out a ragtime selec-
vould come back The Sidneyis big
fog horn was put into play to drown
out the 14-piece brass band on the
upper deck of the Hill and amidst a
bedlam of shouts, shrieks and toots,
prospective excursionists made their
choice.
PRETTY RACE
Both boats left the Davenport shore

races for first landing which has ever
( been witnessed Both steamers hack.

/ full speed. Neck and neck they came
! for the Illinois shore, but the Hill
with an extra squirt rammed its nose
into the bank just two lengths ahead
/ OF the Sidney and shot out its gang
plank.
Just before a landing was made, the
Hill coming at top speed, crashed into
( the ferry. which was just leaving the
Rock Island side. No damage was in
| fiicted on either boat and after the
/ larger craft had come to a standstill
The ferry was able to back out and
proceed on its course.
Another battle ensued on this side
and at times the rival ticket sellers
almost came to blows, when one mar
would butt in and land a rivals pros
