CANOE HANDLING. 



By C. B. VAUX ("DOT»»). 



A complete manual for the management of a canoe. The author begins at the very 

 beginnma:, describes and explains the rudiments in the simplest and plainest way possible. 

 Everything is made intelligible for beginners: and besides this ABC teaching there are so 

 many hints and wrinkles that the oldest canoeist afloat will find pleasure and profit in the 

 study of these. The bonk is complete and concise— no useless duffle between its covers. The 

 subjects treated are the choice of a canoe, paddling, sailing, care of the canoe, I'ecipes and 

 rules. The text is further elucidated by numerous practical drawings, and the beauty of the 

 book is enhanced by the many ornamental vignettes. Pages 168: uniform with "Canoe 

 Building.'- Price, postpaid, ^1.00.

SMALL YACHTS. 



Their Design and Construction, Exemplified by the 

 Ruling Types of Modern Practice. 



By C P. XS-XTM-XXARDrr. 



The Forest and Stkeam Publishing Company takes pleasure in announcing the publication of a, magnificent quarto volume, bearing the above title. This book covers the 

 eld of Small Tachts, with special regard to their design, construction, equipment and keep. The opening chapters are devoted to a consideration of the model and the draft, their 

 relations to one another, and the purposes which they subserve. Full directions are given for producing the plans of a yacht with reference to the chief points in design, and the method 

 of taking oif the lines of a boat already built is likewise described in detail. 



All elements entermginto design, such as Resistance, Stability. Balance of Rig, Handiness, Displacement, etc., are dealt with in separate chapters. The rules necessary for the 

 mathematical computations, and a review of theory and practice close the first division of the book. 



The second portion comprises the description of the Plates, covering the whole range of type in small yachts, from the shoal catboat and American centerboard sloop to examples 

 of the narrowest and deepest British cutler yet built. These yachts have their lines, build and fittings depicted in the Plates, which are drawn to scale. With their aid and the specifi- 

 cations presented, the reader is placed in possession of accurate information concerning the mould, accommodations, rig and characteristics of all styles of yachts which have received 

 favorable recognition. Sporting boats, combination row and sailboats, and various examples of special form are introduced. 



The third division offers a comprehensive review of single-hand sailing, to which small yachts are especially adapted. Directions are given as a guide in selection of type and sail 

 plan, and subsequent equipment and proper management. 



The iron work of yachts, their gear, yawls, stearing apparatus, boat building and much other closely related matter is entered upon. The new I aiternational Rules of the Road, 

 Signal Service, and a bibliography appear in the Appendix. 



The work is profusely and handsomely illustrated with 150 illustrations inserted in the text, besides the sixty-three plates as follows:
