Off New York City, naval engine designs compete in a race between the "Winooski" and the "Algonquin"

After an earlier "dock race" of moored engines, the two vessels competing for a naval contract, Benjamin Isherwood's Winooski and Edward Dickerson's Algonquin, competed in a trial race over open water in New York Harbor.  The first day, in fine weather, the Winooski took and early lead and in the deteriorating conditions of the next day built a commanding margin. The Official Report confirmed Winooski's superiority.  (By John Osborne)

In Brooklyn, New York's 90th Infantry are honored with a full city parade on their return home.

The Ninetieth New York Volunteer Infantry had been formed in late 1861 and had served throughout the war, many of its members re-enlisting and therefore being termed "veterans."  The regiment mustered out on February 9, 1866 and returned home to Brooklyn to the full honors of a massive parade.  (By John Osborne)
