FOREST AND STREAM DESIGNING COMPETITION-SAIL PLAN. — FIRST PRISE DESIGN. BY MORGAN BARNEY, OF NEW YORK CITY. 
Marine Exhibits at the Sportsmen's 
Show. 
Sportsmen from all parts of the United States and 
■Canada are again brought together at the Madison 
Square Garden, the occasion being the eighth annual 
exhibit by the National Sportsmen's Association. 
The arrangement of the different exhibits has been 
given more care than ever before, and in consequence 
the whole affair is far more effective than ever before. 
( In years past the marine exhibit has been small and 
simply incidental to the others, while this year it is one ' 
of the prominent features of the show. The builders of 
gasoline engines have turned out in force, and their ex- 
hibits are extremely interesting and complete. 
The Lozier Motor Co. 
The space occupied by the Lozier Motor Co., of 
Plattsburg, N. Y., is large and attractively decorated. 
This firm has on exhibition two complete launches. The 
largest is a 25ft. launch equipped with a five horse-power 
Lozier motor. The other boat is 21ft. long and is fitted 
with a three horse-power engine. This latter boat is 
beautifully finished and gives a good idea of the high 
grade of work turned out by this firm. In addition to the 
completed launches they have five motors of different 
sizes. These motors are one and one-half, three, five and 
seven and one-half horse-power, single cylinder, and a 
fifteen horse-power double cylinder. To demonstrate 
completely the simplicity of their product and the ease 
with which it is run, the three horse-power engine has 
been completely connected up with a shaft, propeller, 
mufflers and all accessories, showing very clearly the 
engine as it is when located in a boat. This firm was one 
of the first to introduce their engine on the English and 
Continental markets, and a large number of their motors 
are in use all through the United Kingdom and Europe, 
Racine Boat Manufacturing Co. 
The largest marine exhibit is that of the Racine Boat 
Mfg. Co,, of Racine, Wis. The display made by this firm 
is very elaborate and complete, and they have on exhibi- 
tion row, sail and power boats of all sizes and descrip- 
tions. Their exhibit consists of a 21ft. launch, a 16ft. 
launch, a 15ft. fishing launch, a 12ft. yacht tender, a 10ft. 
dinghy, a combination row and sail boat, an 18 ft. jib 
and mainsail boat, and a number of other rowboats and 
canoes. This firm has a large and well equipped plant, 
and build everything from a 10ft. row boat up to a 200ft. 
steel steam yacht. Their New York representatives are 
Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold. 
Ttuscott Boat Manufacturing Co. 
The Truscott Boat Mfg. Co., of St. Joseph, Mich., is 
showing one of its 25ft. launches. The boat is a well- 
built, compact craft. This firm makes a specialty of 
power boats from 16ft. in length up to large cruising 
craft. Their 16ft. launch is one of the roomiest on the 
market, and they claim that it will make from one-half 
to three-fourths of a mile more than any other produc- 
tion of its size that has yet come out. 
United States Long Distance Automobile Co. 
The United States Long Distance Automobile Co., of 
307 Whiton street, Jersey City, N. J., has on exhibition 
several standard marine engines. This motor, which is 
particularly well made and very handsomely finished, is 
made in sizes from 10 to 75 horse-power, 2, 3 and 4 cyl- 
inders. Many of these engines are in use both in 
pleasure and commercial vessels, and in every instance 
have given the utmost satisfaction. The simplicity and 
compactness of this engine recommends it for use on 
launches and auxiliaries. 
The Toquet Launch and Motor Co. 
The Toquet Launch and Motor Co., of Saugatuck, is 
displaying a three horse-power motor that seems to be a 
very substantial and serviceable engine. This firm man- 
ufactures "The Model" launches and engines. 
The Norwalk Launch Co. 
The Norwalk Launch Co., of Norwalk, Conn., has on 
exhibition four motors, a and 3 horse-power single 
cylinder and a 5 and 7 horse-power double cylinder. A 
rather interesting feature of this engine is that there are 
no grease cups, all the oil being in a receptacle in the 
base; this allows the engine to be run for 12 hours at a 
stretch without oiling. 
Church Motor & Launch Co. 
The Church Motor & Launch Co. have on exhibit a 
launch 21ft. long and 5ft. ioin. beam, the exceptional 
beam making this a roomy and comfortable boat. It is 
fitted with a 3^ horse-power motor, with a speed of 7 
miles per hour. Mr. Orient C Pinckney is in charge. 
Other exhibitors are the Western Gas Engine Co., of 
Mishawaka, Indiana ; the Pneumatic Mattress ' and 
Cushion Co., New York City; Indiana Old Town Canoe 
Co. ; Siegel-Cooper Co., New York City ; A. V. Evans,

C. Hopkins & Co., New York.

has decided not to accept the Harvard Y. C.'s challenge 
for a race for 21-footers. This action was taken because 
the interest of the members was confined to the dory 
class.
