OUTBOARD MOTOR RACING.
BOOM TO BRITISH TRADE
A splendid opportunity for the expansion of the British motor in- dustry is provided by the growing popularity of the outboard motor.
An outboard motor is a small eagine easily carried about which' may be affixed to the stern of almost any small boat by simply tightening two thumbscrews with the hands. The boat is then a motor-boat.
The demand for this type of craft, which may be used either as a utility boat or for sport, is grow ing to remarkable dimensions. On a single day one British firm re- ceived an order for 250 outboard motors for Canada.
One of the best known motor-cycle engine manufacturers has decided to reserve one section of its factory exclusively for the making of them. Major Begrave.
The announcement that Major H. 9. D. Segraves to attempt in Germany this month to establish a world's record with a British out- board motor in a British boat is an indication that our manufactur- ers realise the opportunity that has arisch
