MOTOR BOAT OWNERS ACTIVE
0verhauling River Graft in Antici-
patton of Busy Season.
Exhibition Of Motor Boats to BE
Held at SpOrtsman'S show.
April II to rs.

The warm weather of the past week
has caused local owners Of motor
boats TO visit lighthouses and docks
where their craft have been laid up for
the winter and look them over in prepa-
ration for the coming season on the
water
These places, ordinarily quiet little
spots along the river front. where at this
season Of the year there are generally
not more than half a dozen visitors q
day. have been transformed into bee
hives of activity Some owners have
contented themselves with eursory ex-
animation of the engines and the hull.
while others more painstaking have taken
the engine. down and overhauled 1t, as
well as applied a coat of paint to freshen
the boat up before It is put overheard
for its seasons work
This season promises to be gala one
for Washington in the aquatic line. Not
only viii they have the national regatta
here during the month of August. but
the little feet of motor boats that chug
up and down the river. carrying a happy
! party on a summers day. viii have
many additions 10 their fleet
Many heretofore have been deferred
/ from purchasing vessels. owing to the
/ fact that they believed the initial cost
would be more than they could afford.
while the upkeep of it would swamp
! them. Others hesitated because they be-
/ lieved in their own mind that they did
not possess sufficient mechanical ability
to operate a boat after purchasing It, and
! feared that some day they would find
| themselves helpless when far from aid.
There is, perhaps. no more economical
form of sport that is open to all
members of the family than the motor
boat They can be purchased for most
any price one chooses to pay. and as for
/ the dread Of not possessing sufficient me-
/ chanical ability TO operate a gas driven
vessel, that fallacy has also been thrown
out, for the explosive engine Of to-day
after numerous experiments has been so
sinplaed that all 1t needs is gas and
| oil II perchance anything should 90
wrong the exercise OF a little plain COM
mon sense will easily right the trouble.
| So convinced are the Washington mo-
/ for boat agents that this season viii mark
an epoch in aquatic sport ia this city
that they have arranged TO have on ex-
hibition at the Sportsman's Show, to be
held in Washington during the week of
April II to 16 more than tWenty-eight
