The Boat Show: Every Man His Own Captain

The thousands of people who milled through Mechanics Building last week at the Boat and Outdoor Show saw what some say was the biggest collection of new boats on the eastern sea-board and were enlightened in the arts of the misery whip and the six pound double-bitted axe. They watched a guide cook dinner over a light bulb, and a monkey row a boat. They proved, certainly, that private boating is well on the way to becoming the nation's biggest effort, and that the people are numerous who see money with their dreams.
