MOTOR-BOAT RIVALRY.
VESSEL FOR THE FAMILY. Four leading motor-cycle manufacturers in England are experimenting with outboard motor engines and firstclass specimens of the craft can be obtained for £IOO. Britain is challenging American supremacy, the motor industry combining with boat-builders to produce cheaper and larger craft. One firm is pioneering with the, faniily motor boat. This will be 21 feet long 5$ feet broad, and will have a 4-cylinder, 12.32 h.p. engine. One model generates between 14 and 15 knots, and another, speedier, is both suitable for inland waters and for the sea. English resorts are building small water ■ garages to accommodate the vessels.
