The Marine Exhibits at the Show, 
It is a matter of general regret that the Sportsmen's 
Show, now being held at Madison Square Garden, con- 
tains so few marine exhibits. No better opportunity to 
display their products could be offered to the many manu- 
facturers in all parts of the country, and yet less than a 
dozen avail themselves of it. These few, however, make 
up for lack of numbers by their exhibits, and they have 
no doubt met with success. 
The Snecker Motor Co. 
One of the most interesting displays was made by the 
Sneckner Motor Company, of Greenwich, Conn., who 
build one of the most compact, powerful, economical and 
absolutely safe gas motors on the m.arket. This firm 
exhibited a launch that has been specially built for them 
by Mr. L. D. Huntington, of New Rochelle. 
The Troscott Boat Manafactoricg Co. 
Perhaps the largest marine exhibit was that of the 
Truscott Boat Manufacturing Company, of St. Joseph, 
Mich. Two boats^ are shown, one an open launch i8ft. 
long, and the other a cabin boat, 30ft. in length. Both 
these boats were perfectly appointed in every way, and 
were sold soon after the exhibition was opened. The New 
York office of this firm is in charge of Mr. J. W. New- 
bury, 471 West Twenty-second street. 
The Standard Motor Manufacturing Co. 
Another splendid exhibit is that of the Standard Motor 
Manufacturing Company, of 148 East 129th street, New 
York city. This firm manufactures 4-cycle gasoline en- 
gines of 2, 3 and 4 cylinders from :o to 75 horse power, all 
of which are equipped with automatic governors and 
vaporizers, speed regulators and spark timing device and 
reversing gear. The compactness of this engine especially 
adapts it for auxiliary uses; the propeller revolves with- 
out any drag when the boat is under sail. Some of the 
boats already equipped with this type of motor are: 
Trochilus, owned by Mr. Mayhew W. Bronson ; Meda, 
owned by Dr. Morton R. Peck ; Toma, owned by Mr. 
Bradley L. Eaton, and .Sea Bird, owned by Mr. J. O. L. 
Wharton. 
The Wolverine Motor Works. 
Mr. A. V. Evans, the New York agent of the Wolverine 
Motor Works, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has on exhibition 
at space 37 a 6-horse power 2-cycle Wolverine motor. 
This motor shows the high class work that this firm 
turn out. Their 3-cylinder motor is self-starting and 
reversing, and can be handled the same as a steam en- 
gine; it is made in i, 2 or 3 cylinder types and from 2 to 
60 horse power. It is an ideal engine for launches, yacht 
tenders and auxiliaries ; can be used with solid propeller 
or reversing screw ; reversing screw can be set so that 
blade does not drag when the boat is imder sail. Mr. 
Evans will have one of these motors on exhibition at his 
office, 105 Beekman street. New York city, and will be 
pleased to explain its merits to prospective purchasers. 
Over 1,000 Wolverine motors are now in operation, 175 
of them being in working boats receiving almost con- 
stant daily use, and many are in use in the fruit trade in 
Central and South America. One of their boats is to be 
taken on a North Pole expedition by Messrs. Baldwin 
and Zeigler. It is an interesting fact that there are 
Wolverine motors in use in every civilized country in the 
world. 
The D. M. Tuttle Co. 
Still another exhibit that attracted much attention is 
that of the D. M. Tuttle Company, of Canastota, N. Y. 
This company manufactures gasoline engines, boats and 
launches, and has already gained an enviable reputation. 
The launch which is on exhibition is thoroughly con- 
structed and is well finished ; it is i6ft. long 4ft. 2in. beam 
and i6in. draft ; the decks are finished in oak. The boat 
is fully equipped with a ij^-horse power Tuttle motor, an 
interesting feature of which is the self-wiping sparker. A 
written guarantee is given with each boat and a two 
weeks' trial is permitted. It would appear that the 
price asked for these boats ($200) is very reasonable. The 
New York agents are H. H. Kiffc Company, 523 Broad- 
way, who will send catalogues and any desired informa- 
tion on request. 
The Carlton Boat & Canoe Co. 
The Carlton Boat & Canoe Company, of Oldtown, Me., 
make a creditable showing with their high grade canoes. 
The International Gas Engine Co. 
The International Gas Engine Company, of 26 Broad- 
way, New York, has on exhibition a 22-horse power en- 
gine. This is a durable motor of simple construction, 
which occupies a small amount of floor space; it is self- 
starting and very economical in fuel consumption. Be- 
side the large number of these engine in use on yachts and 
launches, many are used on the oyster and fishing boats 
of Long Island Sound and Great South Bay. 
The New York Kerosene Engine Co. 
One of the few exhibitors who had a motor in full 
operation was the New York Kerosene Engine Company, 
of 31 Burling Slip, New York city. This concern manu- 
factures the most successful kerosene oil motor on the 
market, and those interested can see one of these engines 
in operation at the firm's yard, 131st street arid Harlem 
River. 
The Craig Gasoline Eagine. 
Mr. James Craig, Jr., of 556 West Thirty-fourth street, 
has on exhibition a 3H-horse power 4-cycle engine. The 
Craig engine is made with 3 and 4 cylinders, by means of 
which they are arranged in correct balance and the ex- 
plosions in the different cylinders occur in regular se- 
quence. This provides smooth and quiet running and 
permits of high speed with maximum power for minimum 
weight. Mr. Edward F. Leeds, of Bridgeport, Conn., is 
the sole agent for Connecticut and Long Island. 
"White Star Motors. 
Mr. W. R. Smith, of 868 Eighth avenue, has two White 
Star motors on exhibition. Mi-. Smith manufactures
