PALACE WILL HOUSE
MANY SPEED BOATS
Every Exhibitor in Centre Of
Main Floor Must Make
Good Display.
TO SHOW FLYAWAY Ill.

Tn the last two yachting seasons Il
class of motor yachts known as express
Cruisers has been developed. OF which
tne Fyaway III. and Houp-i.a are the
best known. These boats make from
20 to 25 miles an hour and have taken
part in many long distance races. \
high speed boat is in many ways an ex-
pertinent, and after the designers have
obtained the speed they then use the
knowledge obtained In experimenting
with speed to develop the cruiser and
the commercial vessel. The yachtsman
who spends his money to develop the
high speed racers is helping the whole
marine world.
The F1yaway III. was really the pio-
neer of these express cruisers. She was
- Quilt In 1914 from designs by w. II.
Hand. Jr., and her dimensions are 3s
feet long. 8 feet 4 inches beam and 9
feet s inches %draught. She has a 8 cylin-
der Van Blerck motor OF $50 horse
power which turns an Ailsa Craig wheel
100 revolutions a minute In thirteen
long distance races the Flyaway estab-
lished new records. She won twelve
first prizes and was beaten in the Block
Island race because she had TO allow :
hours Z minutes 81 seconds over a
course of 116 miles. Several boats were
built for this class last year and many
more are TO be In the racing this year.
