does away with batteries, switch, coils,
etc. 1t is the first launch on Lake

decided advantage in ignition for mo-

cylinders and horsepower.
A very exciting race was witnessed
on Lake Weir Monday morning at II
o'clock between Mr.. George MacKay's

ChazaIs launch, the Noca. The race
was run from around an anchored
boat off the Chazal dock to and
Iaround another anchored boat off the
McIver dock, across the lake. We
did not get the exact time, but it
was about q minutes and a few sec
onds for the MacKay boat, which won
the race. There has been a number
of races before between these boats
and the rivalry has been keen. We
understand the Chazal boat won the
two races prior to this one. She had a
lcrooked shaft Monday which was quite
| a handicap for her
Sunday evening, Mr.. Charlie Chazal
made one of the longest swims ever
