The race began promptly at 6 p.m. from the Clark Memorial Bridge.
Spectators lined the banks of the river as the Spirit of Jefferson and the Belle of Cincinnati race up river.

The Belle of Louisville is the only authentic paddle wheeler, still operating on steam. She fell behind early and only led for a short time during the return trip back down stream.
