«Легковушка» в сочетании с грузовым прицепом — чрезвычайно удобное транспортное средство. Однако не без недостатков, которые порой сводят на нет все его достоинства. В частности, существенно снижается маневренность легкового автомобиля и становится практически невозможно двигаться задним ходом — ведь автолюбители в отличие от профессиональных водителей плохо маневрируют составными транспортными средствами. Невысока и проходимость «Жигуленка» или «Запорожца» с массивным «хвостом» по проселочным и полевым дорогам. Итак, нужен простой и недорогой мотогрузовичок типа мотороллера «Муравей», но с закрытой кабиной и с большей грузоподъемностью. И лучше всего — на основе мотоциклетных узлов и агрегатов: это позволит зарегистрировать его в качестве грузового мототранспортного средства. К тому же мотоциклетные агрегаты гораздо дешевле автомобильных.

Ship - Passenger Liners, 20th Century: The upper limits of speed possible with piston-engined ships had been reached, and failure in the machinery was likely to cause severe damage to the engine. In 1894 Charles A. Parsons designed the yacht Turbinia, using a steam turbine engine with only rotating parts in place of reciprocating engines. It proved a success, and in the late 1890s, when competition intensified in the Atlantic Ferry, the question arose as to whether reciprocating or turbine engines were the best for speedy operation. Before Cunard’s giant ships were built, two others of identical size at 650 feet (Caronia and Carmania) were fitted,

Business for the past week has been Just what is to he expecteii in tliis the dullest niontli of the year. Plenty of I'aii'b' Kood outiloor stoek is arriv- ing, but there is little demand for it. Some fine dahlias are now coming in, hut there is very little call for them. Orehids are now quite siaree and the purchasers of them equally so. Both wholesalers and retailers are winding up their vacations now and the finish- ing touches are being added to store improvements, the odor of fresh paint being noticeable everywhere. NOTKS. A rather ludicrous opening announce- ment was pasted on the show window of a store about to open. It read as follows : "Xotise a first clas florist will open hear on Sept 1.")" (underneath this in heavily outlined letters) "Strictl.v high clas" in type which was an indiscriminate jumble of small and capital letters together. F. G. Miller, 270.j Broadway, opens for the season September ti. Mr. Miller has just returned from a visit to liis old home in Chicago and says there is no place like the Windy City, not- withstanding the fact that while there last week he had his pockets picked twice in four days. What does he mean? H. F. Darrow speaks very favorably of the azalea novelties seen in his visit to Europe, especially of the three new varieties which w-ere exhibited at the February meeting of the Boston Gar- deners' and Florists' Club by Haerens Bros., of Somergem. Belgium. Geo. Hildenbrand. former manager for John Young, who started in busi- ness for himself January 1 in the re- tail line at 3423 Broadway, is doing a fine business for this time of year and reports some large funeral orders of late. R. Savage. 2.331 Broadway, reports a very good summer business this year and that the present indications are that he will break all previous records for the coming season. John R. Hartmann's Rosary, ICtTii Broadway, had a big funeral order last week for President Harrison's, of the Iron Steamboat Co.. funeral. Robert E. Berry, formerly with the park department, has been engaged by the Elizabeth Nursery Co. in an execu- tive capacity. Karadontes Bros, will open a store at 21TG Broadway in the new Wells- more apartment hotel about Septem- ber 10. Peter L.

Hot and sticky is the description here of the weather, so usual to early September, the mercury running up to 00° and the humidity being at the saturation point. There have been some showers, just enough to preserve the reputation of the weather bureau from absolute disregard of truth but not sufficient to do any good to hu- manity or the growing crop. It is most curious how rain has fallen in spots, a few localities getting all the downpour, whilst others within a mile or two do not get any. One day last week the gauge in the city showed in les.s than two hours a precipitation of 1.57 inches; at your correspondent's location in the suburbs it was not over .1(1 of an inch. The record rainfall of August in the city was for August 1.33 incli, which is just one-third of the normal for that month; but in the greater part of the contiguous terri- tory it was hardly enough to show on the gauges. .Springs and water courses are low^er than within the memory of living men; the reservoirs of the city suppl.v are becoming exhausted, and if the gates are not opened soon the drought will be a calamity to the city. Business, naturally, keeps dull, there being little demand for other work than funerals. The city population is just beginning to return to their homes, and it is hoped the customary revival will soon be felt. Stock gen- erally is not of first-class quality, out- door flowers showing the effects of the dry soil and parching winds. ^ >'OTES. The four potato races for men, wo- men, girls and boys were all aniniated, the winners, who received trophies, were Ward Perry and Robert L.

In the 7o-yard dash for girls. Miss Glass got the prize. In the 75-yard dash for boys. Dock Wagner was vic- torious. In the 75-yard dash for ladies, Mrs. Boone was triumphant. The Gardeners' Club had its custom- ary annual outing on the 1st day of September, at Bay Shore, a very 'con- venient and agreeable resort on the Chesapeake, about two hundred per- sons, members, their wives, sweet- hearts, etc., participating. In bowling there were many events, and the victors are too numerous to mention in this space, the ladies as well as the men getting numerous prizes in the events set apart for them. There was quite a rain shower in the afternoon which interfered some- what with the program of proceed- ings—putting an end to the ball game. There was bathing, fishing, crabbing and other aquatic sports, and the day was one of pleasure and recreation to all present. Putting balls in basket.—1st, Mrs. W. G. Lehr: same for men, Wm. Ekas.

Considerable progress upon the lireparations for the second annual tlower show on Novembej- 10. 11 and 12 in the state armory is being made by the Albany Florists' Club and the special committee appointed to act in the matter. At the September meeting of the club a report was read from the committee showing the I>rogress made thus far. The premium list is practically completed and shows twelve cups donated for prizes. Two of the number are from out of tow-n : Stumpp it Walter Co., New York, and Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia. It is proposed to encourage a number of exhibitors to come to Albany and some of the best prizes will be awarded in classes likely to attract their interest. 1'hc club will put up a cup for the best decorated florist's booth—a prize offer- ed for the first time. The premium list will be placed in the hands of the lirinter as soon as possible. The name of Alfred E. Whittle was substituted upon the judges' committee for that of A. D. Wemple. resigned. Fred Glockner, A. Simon. I.,ouis Schafer, and Eli Burke were added to the deco- rating committee and Thomas F. Tracey upon the program committee. President Goldring at the club meet- ing appointed Frank M. Briare, Fred A. Danker, and E. P. Tracey a com- mittee to draw up suitable resolutions uixm the death of William C. Roche, ime of the members who was drowned in Kinderhook lake during his vaca- tion. An interesting discussion on the wilt- ing of rooted poinsettias was begun by' Charles Sanders, who brought a sample of a plant affected. No solution was offered beyond an article in a recent number of an English periodical which Mr. Sanders promised to look up. Some of the members believed that the wilt- ing was due to a fungus attacking the roots.
