In Motor Boat Show

were noted among the crowds that Wis

taps was sounded from the band
stand. A body of Junior Naval Reserve
boys stood at salute during taps"
Miss America, the American challeng-
er or the Harmsworth trophy this year,

exhibit. Motor boat enthusiasts for
get everything else when they gather
around the trim little craft, on which
IS based this country's hope of captur-
ing the international trophy.
