.eneers Change Boats.


About fifteen miles below the city
the boats came so close they touched
and several passengers. despite the
efforts Of the crews, passed over the
rails to the other steamer. Passen'
gers crowded the rails, many shaking
hands and passing over refreshments.
It was the same on all three decks
while the steamers ground away with
out ability to pass each other. For at
least ten miles they rode side by side,
they drifted off and started Jockeying
again for the right side OF the chan
mel. The Sidney pilot again demon
strated his skill by holding his advan-
tage and when the boats passed under
the high bridge at Muscatine, the Sid
ney had won the landing, the larger
steamer holding off until the streck-
fus boat backed aground.
There was much excitement abroad
both steamers but the fun was mainly
among the stokers who "joshed" each
other and even tossed Jumps OF coal
back and forth with the advice, You
need It," One overzealous, little dust
begrimed stoker on the Majestic
hurled a shovel over to the Sidney,
shouting above the roar OF the en-
gines. Get some more shovelers. ;"
The Sidney's reply was a short burst
of speed with which she momentarily
passed the Majestic.
The Sidney locked at $50, the Ma
jestic at 6. There was no race on the
return, the Sidney leaving early.

Get Advantage at start.

The pilot on the Sidney secured the
advantage at the start, when 7
seemed as though the Majestic had
out jockeyed him About 2:3O the Sid
ney, Majestic and Frontenac and
barge were moored at the foot OF
Brady street. Agents Of the different
boats were busy working In the crowd
with megaphones, while rival calliopes
sirens and deep-toned whistles were
screaming at each other in a discord'
ant concert for half hour.
The Sidney. which was caught be-
tween the other two, pulled away for
Rock Island shortly before o'clock,
followed closely by the Majestic. The
Streckfus steamer landed at the Nine
teenth street dock and the Wisherd
boat pulling alongside, shutting the
Sidney off from the river side At 3
o'clock the Majestic left the wharf
and swung out into the river with an
apparent advantage In gaining the
north side of the channel. but the Sid
|ney followed closely and in the man
euvering got over to the right side
which 1t held all the way down.
The two steamers raced through
the Crescent bridge draw abreast,
with the Majestic pulling away slight
ly. This advantage was soon over
come. however, and the steamers set
tied down to steady grind with
neither able to get ahead.

Department 10 Determined.
"The policy of the department Is :
determined one; we don't expect to
impose any undue hardships. MT
Green said. How ever, We expect the
boat owners to comply with the law.
/ look at this as a matter Of educa-
ton. We are out to tell the motor
boat owners what they should have IN
thu way of equipm ant"
The boats must have two copies OF
pilot rules on board, also, and there
are certain regulations especially re-
garding lights which it is well for
the owners to obs srve. Boats above
the twenty-six foot class are supposed
to carry the red and green lights at
port and starboard. However. on the
twenty-six foot and less craft, COM
bination lantern displayed in the bow
will be sumcient.
Boats must have life preservers or
floats on board. They must be Of the
sort to sustain a man In the water
twenty-four hours. The trailing life
boat Is not considered in this class
as a life preserver. The pilot rules
on board are required Of all boats.

That Owners Comply With
Provisions Of

The annual inspection Of all boats un-
der sixty-flve feet in length propelled by

The &C: as explained by Mr.. Green.
provides for the inspection of all yes
sells under sixty-five feet in length

ing devices, lights and mechanical
