markable manner, just as they did last
season.
The Highlanders have won their way to
permanent success in New. York. after a
hard uphill fight. by playing good hard
jured players. The New York public ad-
mires gameness in men. and found a strik-
ing example in the boys who swung the ak

Motor Boats Unpopular.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, August 19.-The unpopularity
of motor boats has been demonstrated by
something like q boycott at the Gymkhana
held by the British Motor Boat Club at
Bourne End. Although 1t was the first
event of the kind ever held in the upper
reaches of the Thames. the riverside res
idents marked their dIsapproval of the pet
roI launches by remaining at their homes.
There were only two petrol launches in the
Gynkhana-the thrasher and the lookout.
The others were of the harmless electric
variety. AT Cookham and other beauty
spots on the upper reaches the motor boat
is looked upon with horror According to
riverside, dwellers the petrol motor boat
creates a wash sufficient to wreck any
peaceful paddler of canoe or light skiff.

The past season has demonstrated that
air cooling is thoroughly efficient, especially
for the smaller cars. 1t has not as yet been
demonstrated that 1t is practical for cars
weighing over 1900 pounds and the makers
of air-cooled engines do not claim anything
for this system for cars weighing above
that figure.
The makers of high powered touring cars
without exception will offer cars that are
higher powered and speeder than their cor
