Motor Boating. 
The Motor Boat Show. 
There were so many good things to be seen 
at the Motor Boat Show that it really took 
several visits to study them all properly, and as 
the show was well attended from the day it 
opened until it closed, motor boat men must 
have learned lots, and they should be well able 
to start the coming season in good shape. 
The exhibitors were all well pleased with the 
show because their visitors were mostly those 
who wished to understand what was being 
shown, and there were so many who wished to 
learn just what was best to purchase. Of 
course, in a show of this kind there are good 
and bad exhibits, and one must not always take 
as gospel what he is told by a salesman. Some 
really startling statements are made. For in¬ 
stance, one could hear that a 30-foot boat with 
a 15-horsepower motor would make 20 miles 
an hour. It is probable that those who have 
the exhibits to display are worked up to such a 
state of enthusiasm about them that they for¬ 
get how they add a little each day to the speed 
of some boat until they get beyond the bounds 
of all reason. There are some exhibitors, many, 
in fact, whose statements can be absolutely re¬ 
lied on and whose word is a guarantee. A 
novice at the game should for his own protec¬ 
tion always get some expert advice before pur¬ 
chasing a boat or a motor, and many who have 
gone in for the sport would have been less 
disappointed if they had taken advice on their 
first boat. 
As a whole, the exhibition was a very fine 
one, far better than any previous exhibition 
held in this city, and it showed, too, how the 
motor boat industry has grown and what won¬ 
derful improvements have been made. The 
boats shown were mostly of the wholesome 
type and there were not nearly as many freaks
