NAVY YARD RECEIVES
NEW HYDR0-AEROPLANE
Invention of Glenn CurtiSS Re-
verts, in Some Respects, to
His Original Idea.

A new hydro-aeroplane for the Navy
Department was received at the navy
yard today This is an aerOboat, the
latest thing in the hydro-aeroplane line.
1t is the design of Glenn II. Curtiss. the
aviator, and is the elimination OF all
the development he has done with the
air and water craft. The aeroplane has
a spread of wings nearly forty feet. and
the boat is about the same length. 1t
is regular boat body, very lightly built.
and hitched to the flying machine just
beneath the lower main plane
Fifty Miles an Hour on Water.
The engine is seventy-five or eighty
horsepower and will drive the boat on the
water at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
Faster than this the craft will not stay
on the water at all. but rises in the air.
where it will make a speed of sixty miles
an hour. The passengers sit in the body
of the boat side by side and are protected
by spray hood in front as in fast power
boats.
The craft has been tried out by Lieut..
Ellyson and others of the naval officers
and pronounced satisfactory. 1t is being
brought to the navy yard for some special
experiments which 1T is hoped TO COM
plete before the river freezes. The boat
has not Yet been set p, but the mechanics
are at work on It.
Reverts to Original Idea.
1t is curious that this is in some re-
spects a reversion to the original idea Of
hydro-aeroplane that Curtiss tried as
far back as 1905. He was then just be-
ginning to fly and the old June Bug
the first OF his successful aeroplanes. was
making her first flights. He wanted a
smooth field from which 20 rise and tried
putting the aeroplane on a couple of
light boat pontOOns on the lake at Ham,
mondspOrt, n. Y. where he was prac-
ticing. AT that time the aeroplane had
neither the lift nor the motor power to
get off the water and it was not till at
San Diego Cal, in the winter OF 1911,
that he was able to make the first flights
with the Triad, the first of the sue
cessful hydro-aeroplanes.
Since that time the development has
gone ahead and now the hydro is back
in some respects, just where it made its
unsuccessful start.

CLEAN RACING OR NONE

Honolulu will welcome clean hOrse-Iacine
here. There is nothing inherently wrong in rae
ing herses any more than in racing yachts, or
automobiles or track athletes. The disfavor
into which horseracing has fallen is due entirely
to the betting feature that undermined it's high
character as sport. Racetrack gambling bred a
thousand evils of crooked riding, foul riding
"daping" mounts, bribing track officials, and led
also to the growth of pool-rooms and handbooks.
Gambling on the races led to SO much crime and
disorder that every track from Sheepshead Bay,
New York, to Emeryville, Call was closed. \
few have reopened, brr the open betting feature
has been eliminated except under the pari-mu,
tuel system, where the odds are fixed by me,
chanical device.
The promoters of the New Years race meet
at Kapiolani Park have declared against betting
and the public is assured of some fine sport day
after tomorrow. If the race-promoters will car.
ry out to the letter their promises to keep out the
betting element, they will receive strong support
from lovers of clean sport-and clean h0rserac
ing is splendid sport, the "sport of kings, it has
well been called.
