Clinton, May 9.-With the approach
Of the river season old river men grow
reminiscent and the odd dogs" in their
stories OF the cold Mississippi" revert
back to the good old days Of fast pack
cts and boat racing on the father OF
waters" Clinton played part S one
of the terminals for some of the speed
tests on the river. Naturally the race
that is most often referred. to is that
between the Robert e. Lee and the
Natchez perhaps the most famous race
between Missippi river boats. The old
river men like to tell OF that famous
race but there are others almost as
interesting and which are often re-
ferred to.
To those who have witnessed
race between two steamboats, on the
river the excitement is still vivid.
Not only Is the crew interested and
the captain bent on gaining the
victory. but the passengers catch the
spirit. Running side by side some
times for miles. the passengers on the.
boats would gtaher. and leaning over
the rail. jeer at each other and handy
sarcastic remarks. cheering when their
own boat forged ahead and jeering
when the opponent seemed to be gain
ing point.
On the boiler deck all would be
intense excitement. From the. pilot
house would come direction for full
steam ahead. The firemen would
take their places and shovel fuel tc
raise an excess Of steam. II the
safety valve started to blow off 1t
was tied down and the pressure was
kept at a point that was always peril
ously near the straining point. Many
stories are told Of the expedients re-
sorted to to keep up steam. In several
instances 1t was reported that slabs OF
bacon were taken from the cargo ana
thrust into the furnaces. to help the
fire along In another instance 1t was
siad that live porkers, being shipped
were sacrificed during race to feed
the fires Be that as 1t may everybody
on board the boat was interested when
