28 : MARINE REVIEW. [May 29 MR. SCHWAB'S BEAUTIFUL CHARITY. In order to correct numerous misstatements in regard to his recent purchase of Olean beach property on Staten island for the benefit of poor children, Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Cor- poration, has made the following statement in regard to the investment: "I have purchased Richmond beach, facing New York bay, on the south shore of Staten island, near Tottenville, for the benefit of poor and sick children of New York. The land comprises about a quarter of a mile of fine beach; also a fine fresh water lake, a grove and high land reaching back to the Richmond road. The improvements on the property at present consist of a farmhouse, pavilions on the ocean shore, pagodas and a large steamboat dock. These buildings will be altered to suit the purposes of the purchase, after consultation with charitable institutions of New York. It is expected that from 1,500 to 2,000 children daily can be provided for at the beach, and they will be given a good time in the usual way, by means of bathing, boating, boating on the lake. rides on donkeys, games in the fields and the grove. The children will be conveyed to the beach probably on a large steamer, and the outings will continue during the open air season. Every child will receive a good dinner. Mrs. Schwab is closely interested with me in this undertaking and we both have our hearts in it. We shall proceed carefully in all respects, availing ourselves of the benefit of the experience of charitable organizations. There are no marshes near this beach. and I regard it as one of the finest properties for the purpose that could be purchased anywhere." TRADE NOTES. A note in the last issue of the Review referred to a band saw that was shipped by the Atlantic Works Incorporated of Philadelphia to the boat yard of Mr. Herbert Garison, Bridgeton, N. Y. A mistake was made in the name of the state. Mr. Garison's works are at Bridgeton, N. J. Eleven 15 H.P. and three 40 H.P. Westinghouse 500-volt, shunt- wound, direct-current motors were recently purchased by the Boston & Montana Consolidated Copper & Silver Mining Co., to be added to electrical equipment in its smelters and refineries at Great Falls, Mont. About four years ago this company installed a number of Westinghouse 180-volt, electrolytic generators and at the same time put in a large num- ber of Westinghouse and other motors for driving ventilating fans and other machinery about the smelters. Although the smelters are filled with sulphur dust and are extremely dirty, the Westinghouse motors have given excellent satisfaction. Officials of the Boston & Montana company say that the commutators of the Westinghouse motors are sufficiently insu- lated between bars to prevent bad grounds. A booklet in the way of twenty-four advance pages of catalogue has just been issued by Marine Iron Works, Station A, Chicago, which they will send free on request. It contains much interesting reading matter, as also illustrations and details of the latest design of marine engines, all of value to those who may contemplate the purchase of such work. 2 Vessel Property Wanted.

A ship and engine builder, with a thorough experience in all branches of the business, both theoretical and practical, and with a reputation that compares favorably with that of any ship builder in the country, is desir- ous of opening negotiations with persons anxious to engage the services of a strictly first-class man, either to start a new yard of the most advanced type, or with a view to developing an established plant along the lines of the most economical policy known to American ship building. Experi- enced in all types of steamships, including battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, Atlantic liners, yachts, etc., and particularly equipped for the con- struction of cheap and economical freighters and tramp steamers.
