CAPTAIN DAILEY'S INVENTION.

A tall broad-shouldered man walked into
The Courier Gazette office Tuesday with a
bunch of hoop-pues in his hands. The man

haven boat-builder, and the hoOp-poles
which he carried were being shown as a
sample of what he can accomplish with a
hoop-shaving machine that he has just in
vented His experiments with the machine
have shown him that it is practical, and
when perfected viii do the work OF 10 men,
possibly 10, and will enable person to
shave from 5000 to 10000 hoops day,
where only 800 can be shaved by hand.
Three years ago, while making lobster BAR
relS for a Vinalhaven concern, Mr.. Daley
fell to rejecting why the work could not be
made easier. Born in Searsmont, i'll the
heart of the cooper SHOP country, he had
many practical ideas on the subject, and
set to work experimenting. Sickness in his
family caused a setback, and 1t was not
until recently that he saw the realization OF
his dream He has applied for a patent
and is now seeking financial assistance to
carry on the manufacture of his invention:
The machine which he has built as model
is operated by motor from a gaS0lene
boat. Mr.. Daley reports bodybuilding dul!
