1904] MARINE REVIEW 33 MARINE EXHIBIT AT SPORTSMEN'S SHOW. From present indications, the tenth annual sportsmen's show at Madison Square Garden, Feb. 19 to March 5, promises to be the most successful of any yet held. A$ a spectacle it will be impressive, the entire arrangement and the scenic effects com- bining strongly to this end. Action will be lent to the scenic ef- fects at the eastern end of the amphitheater by the revolving wheel of an old water mill, and the mountain streams which will tumble in cascades through. artificial gorges to empty into the artificial lake, which this year will be larger and more attractively con- structed than at any previous sportsmen's show. The lake will be 190 ft. in length by 7o ft. in width, and will be designed and provided principally for the demonstration of high-power auto- mobile launches, varying in length from 25 ft. to 35 ft. In fact, the marine exhibit of the show this year will be one of its strongest features, the power boat industry being represented to a greater extent than it has ever been at a similar exhibit in this country. So great has been the demand for space by exhibitors of this class that it has been necessary to locate the space originally de- signed for the fly casting tournament elsewhere. Originally the space set aside was on the southern or Twenty-Sixth street side of the garden, immediately facing the lake, and on the cross-sec- tion at the Fourth avenue end, while the entire stretch of 190 ft. on the Twenty-Seventh street side was assigned to the sport of fly casting. So great has been the demand for space, however, that the entire lake frontage has now been given up to marine ex- hibits, and the fly casters will be provided with a tank of ample width and length suspended over the northern promenade of the amphitheater. and on a level with the balcony promenade. That this feature of the show should have developed to such pro- portions was unanticipated by the management but it is most sat- isfactory evidence of the value of the Madison Square exhibit to the builders of marine engines and power launches. Thus far. space has been assigned to the following representative concerns in this line: Western Gas Engine Co., Mishawaka, Ind.; Mr. J. W. Newbury, New York; Pierce Engine Co., Racine, Wis.; C. H. Blomstrom Motor Co., Detroit; Lozier Motor Co., Platts- burg, N. Y.; Messrs. Penhard & Levassor; Messrs. Smith & Mabley; Messrs. Hollander & Tangeman; Gas Engine & Power Co, and Charles L.
