243 
gines in several sizes, both two and four-stroke, also a 
three horsepower kerosene oil engine of excellent design. 
Their four cylinder four-stroke 12 horsepower marine 
engine showed some features of excellent merit. Ihe 
design and construction of these engines showed careful 
attention to detail. Being able to remove piston and con- 
necting rods without disturbing cylinders was of especial 
worth. 
Chase Yacht & Engine Company, Providence, R. I.— 
Although this is comparatively a new concern in the gas 
engine field, they showed remarkably moderir up-to-date 
construction and a get-at-able engine. In their four- 
stroke double cylinder engines the cranks are both the 
same way, counterweighted, instead of the usual con- 
struction, 180 degrees apart. 
August Mietz, New York. — Showed the kerosene en- 
gines exhibited at the New York show.

feature. The carburetor, mounted on top of the engine, 
was an innovation. 
Camden Anchor-Rockland Machine Company, Rock- 
land, Me.^ — Showed a i6ft. fishermen's pea-pod, a boat 
of exceptional model, with flat floor and extremely sea- 
worthy. The power was a 1J/2 horsepower Knox engine

stroke class. 
Chas. E. Harris, Lowell, Mass. — A six cylinder 60 
horsepower four-stroke engine, partly completed, from 
the works of the Taunton Locomotive Manufacturing 
Company. Cylinders were carefully polished, and the in- 
let, if desired, could be placed on either side, making it 
either a right or left-hand engine. The water-jackets, 
were of copper tubing, held by clamps top and bottom. 
The crank-shaft was cut from a solid nickel steel forg- 
ing, not twisted, as is usually the case. 
Consolidated Box Machine Company, Lynn, Mass. — ■ 
Sagamore engines, two-stroke, in several sizes ; one run- 
ning on city gas with propeller connected. The ignition 
mechanism was protected and a friction-driven bilge 
pump were noticeable features. The circulating pump

gine; one of the best looking dories exhibited.

high speed launch 30ft. in length, 3ft. 8in. ■ width, in 
which will be installed a 40 horsepower special two- 
stroke three ported engine to run at 850 revolutions per 
minute. The expected speed is 23 miles. Another boat

prize. This boat being clench carvel while the other was 
clinker, she is expected to do even better time. An 
i8ft. dory launch, decked fore and aft, was shown with 
a Termaat and Monahan engine.

were equipped. In the demonstration a stream of water 
through a quarter-inch pipe running continuously over 
the cable and plug did not affect the spark. 
Gabriel Horn Manufacturing Company, Cleveland, O. 
— This was an exhaust operated horn. Plardly suffi- 
ciently deep to carry well for marine work, although pos- 
sibly a higher pitch would make it available.

der four-stroke Regal engines, built by the Regal Gaso-

cylinder quadruple opposed engine. Each cylinder has 
two separate pistons traveling in opposite directions, ex- 
plosions. taking place between them. The power is trans- 
mitted through rocker shafts to a double throw crank 
shaft, with cranks set at iio degrees; the engine, although 
expensive to machine, showed some good points, and will 
probably, with certain slight modifications, be of value, 
provided the manufacturer and designer are able to in- 
crease efficiency 10 per cent., as they claim. 
Chas. J. Jager Company, 166 tlish street, Boston, 
Mass. — One of the best looking four-stroke engines ex- 
hibited at the show; there is a novel protecting device to

Loring, of East Braintree, Mass. 
Geo. Lawley & Son Corporation, East Boston, Mass.— 
The 64ft. Hupa, designed by Arthur Binney, of Boston, 
for C. H. Clark, Jr., of Philadelphia, attracted more at- 
tention than any other production exhibited. Her lines 
are similar in many respects to the famous Standard, and 
she is about the same size. The 100 horsepower engine 
exhibited by Arthur Binney is the power to be used for 
her propulsion ; compressed air will be used in starting, 
as is used, in Standard. 
Cooley Manufacturing Company, Waterbury, Vt. — 
Seven engines- of both the ordinary and three-ported de- 
sign ; the three-ported engine is designed for high, while 
the others are of more moderate speed. Jump spark is 
used with a timer of the roller contact type; the speed 
control of this engine is excellent, giving great flexibility 
in the niat^ter of speed. Long bearings and good lubrica- 
tion should make this a dependable and durable engine.

MoTORBOATS IN Flanders.— Writing from Ghent, Bel- 
gium, Frank R. Mowrer, United States Consul, savs : 
The network of canals in Flanders, which terminates 
at the seaports of Neuzen, in the Netherlands,, and 
Ostend and Zeebrugge, in Belgium, offers an opportunity 
to use motorboats, and the demand is increasing from 
year to year. Several firms in this city manufacture 
motors for boats, but preference is given to the American 
motor. A few American motorboats and motors for 
boats have been imported into this district during the 
past year, and all have given entire satisfaction. No 
regular agencies have yet been established, but in order 
that these motors may prove satisfactory, it is advisable 
that they be introduced by reliable parties competent to 
properly install them. 
Firms in Ghent selling motors for launches" are A. 
Van Rycheghem, Rue de Courtrai 12, and E. Eggermont, 
Petit Dock 9.
