Best in It's History,
Saw Promoters.

The annual exhibition OF motor boats
and engines viii open 10 Madison
Square Garden al o'clock this after
noon. This show has grown 10 be one
OF the most successful and the most
popular of the winter exhibitions and
more than 100000 passed through the
gates last year. IL always comes about
dWay between the laying up and the
httng-Out seasons, and those who love
the water are glad 90 get a chance 10

for the season. 10 is almost like a
breath of salt air 20 them.
This years exhibition promises 20
be the best IN the history Of the Ma
tional Association Of Engine and Boat
Manufacturers. under the direction Of
which i is held. and visitors will be
much surprised at the Big strides that
have been made in the models OF the
motor boat and in the marine engine.
Cruisers ranging from twenty-five TO
ffty-two feet In length, runabouts, OK

builders who have prepared the eXhi-
billions, and the models Of these boats
Will vary from the full-bodied cruiser

surface of the water.
There will be N-bottom boats. boats
Of the displacement type and lfeboats
which could cross the Atlantic. One

war. This boat is practically unsnk-
able and non-capslzable.
Motor boating is not sport in
which only the wealthy man can take
part. Small. serviceable motor boats
can be purchased for almost as little
rs a man wants 10 spend. and the cost
Of maintaining this boat IS equally
small. When II is considered that q

gasolene for each HORSEPOWER it de-
velops u can easily De seen how small
the cost is A cruiser like the

gallon Of gasolene an hour, and gaso-
