There was spirited rivalry between the
two vessels, and the Natchez
made the fastest record be
tween New Orleans and 8t. Louis
(1.278 miles In 3 days 21 hours 58 min.
utes) Captain Cannon resolved to beat
it. He engaged the steamer Frank
Pargoud and several fuel boats and
arranged for them to meet him at va
rious points up the river with wood
and coal. Then he had his boat cleared
of all her upper works likely to catch
the wind or make the vessel heavier,
On Thursday, June 20, 1870, at 4:45
p. m., the Robert E. Lee steamed out
of New Orleans. The Natchez follow.

been advertised” in advance and was
now awaited with gathering Interest
at all the river towns, Large crowds
were assemisled at Natchez, Vicksburg,
Helena and other large places
Between Cairo and St. Louls the
Natchez afterward clalimed to have lost
seven hours and one minute on account
of a fog and broken machinery. The

layed and arrived in St. Louls thirty-
three minutes ahead of the previous
record established by her competitor,
Fifty thousand people from the house:
