A comfortable berth, wonderful meals, dancing at night, watermelon parties, well-stocked burs, stud and draw poker games for the patrons of that form o f amusemeut, and last but not least, the antics of tlie negro roustabouts, all combined to make things pleusant for the traveler. Saturday was usually the suiting day for up-river packets from this port. There was great rivalry between boat owners and crews, and usually from one to a dozen bout races were pulled off as the vessels chugged up the river. It was then that boilers blew up witli marked frequency. The most famous of these races was run by the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee, two of the largest of the river packets. So keen was the rivalry that early in the seventies it was planned to have them race from New’ Or leans to St. Louis. No passengers or freight were carried and for weeks tlie coming race was the chief topic of conversation along the river. The Robert E. Lee was in command of Captain Cannon, while Captain Leathers was master of the Natchez. No stops were made except for fuel. The trip to St. Louis was made In just a few hours over three days, an unheard of record then, with the Rob ert E. Lee the winner by a small margin.
