BIG YEAR IS SEEN
BYBOAT INDUSTRY
National Show, Barometer
of Interest Was Largest
Held Since 1880.

a II OTOR boat interests, both
M the industry and the sport,
wv are pointing to their biggest
4 4 year in five seasons during
1896. Racing activity definitely is on
the increase and pleasure boating will
ride the crest of the biggest wave Of
prosperity since 1880.
The national barometer, the motor
boat show in New York, which has
Just ended. was the largest held in
years, and planes were mapped out
for q big season during the affair.
Gold Cup interest, which has been
tagging for several seasons, Is expected
to increase under the new rules adopt
ed for the coming year All restric-
lions except a 12-litre Limit for power
plants have been removed on the Gold
Cup boats. The class championships.
the oldest boating fixture in the coun-
try, and second only to the Harms
worth in importance. will be held on
Lake George next July.
Gar Wood Is Unchallenged.
GONE hope is held out for a re-
newal of the Harmsworth at De-
troit Labor day. but as yet no chal-
lenge has been hurled at Gar Wood,
who has ruled the international speed
boat waves since 1920. France is q
possible contender. but even If no for
eign competition is forthcoming this
year, there will be plenty Of high spots
on the regatta program.
The 225 class, which provided the
bulk of thrills during 1885, is expected
to gain further favor. A national
championship has been scheduled for
the class at the Presidents Cup re-
gatta in Washington 1920 September
and other important events will be
held during the season.
Florida will be the scene OF the
opening 1886 regatta gun in February.
The Northern season will start in May
with the annual Albany-tc-New York
cupboard classic down the Hudson
River. June. July, August and Sep
TENDER will be filled with regattas
throughout the country.
Speed record tables, which had q
rather peaceful existence In 1885, may
get a thorough overhauling this year.
Keener competition Is certain to de-
velop and continued experimentation
with hulls and motors should send
records tumbling in all classes from
inboards to outboards.

started everybody by proving him

shave after every meal, and this
was for the purpose of removing
whiskers, not mulligan. His mus

few days he discovered he liked
the life and spent his time prac-
ticing sailors walk to use later
in his comic strip, "Thimble

Hugh Marsh waited on the sta
ion platform for the l1:25 from
washington which was bringing
his younger sister. KeZia, home
from school. The train waS few
minutes late. He was annoyed
and wished nc had called before
he left his office to time its ar
rival. He might have worked a
few minutes longer on the cost
sheet he was preparing.
Around him were the milling
people who wait for trains, people
of all classes and conditions, some
with haraSSCd faces who carried
cheap suitcases. one or two laugh
ing family groups, some travel
ing statesmen. with smart luggage
and an air Of success.
