It is a wise steamer master who knows how to handle his beat no that she will get the benefit of the power of a steamer in ftont of her. In old-time races this was a favorite trick, and that it has not been forgotten even in ihis late day was shown recently. The boat ahead was the larger and faster in deep, water. She was going- at the usual late of speed, Another steamer of light draft, smaller and perhaps a trifle faster fast-er in shallow water, bound the same way. came up on the port quarter cf the other just enough out of the way to avoid the current from the wheel of the other, but still close enough to get the benefit cf the suction caused by her displacement as she moved through the water. Final!.-, the run being- all the li mo made in river water, the ster i .-learner gave a spurt and slew ly passed the ether and beat her a short distance to the dock. The danger of this close proximity of the two is that should the boat ahead part her wheel chains, take a ;hnrto port and drift across the bew of ti e other, the great speed cf the- .-ilcn; steamer would have sect her crash:::- through the other with greed lee-is el life and property.
