Dear Sih— X have used your cleaner and find it 

 one of the best I ever used, and I think it will take 

 the place of all other cleaners.

jlfr. J. C. Petmecky: 



Deab Sir— I have just received the two gun clean- 

 ers, and I admire them very much. They are the 

 best thing I have ever seen. I have tried almost 

 everything imaginable, but this simple invention 

 after using it has become indispensable with me. 

 For removing lead on the interior of gun barrels I 

 am quite certain its equal has not yet been pro- 

 duced. Most truly yours,

 Mr. J. C. Petmecky, Austin, Tex.: 



Dear Sir— At my recent shoot in your city it 

 afforded me pleasure to speak of the merits of your 

 late invention, the "Petmecky Gun Cleaner." After 

 trying all others I find it the best, and cheerfully 

 recommend it to all sportsmen. I remain, yours 

 truly, Dr. W. J. Carver.

CANOE 



THE third edition of "Canoe and Boat Building" 

 is now ready, The additional matter includes 

 description and working drawings and sail plans of 

 the Barnegat Cruiser, Sunbeam and Lassie canoes, 

 and sail and rigging plan of canoe yawl. This 

 makes the book comprehensive up to date. The 

 author is W. P. Stephens, canoeing editor of For- 

 est and Stream. 



For writing such a book Mr. Stephens is pecu- 

 liarly fitted, beginning as an amateur, and having 

 after a long experience of the difficulties attending 

 a learner, taken a prominent place among canoe 

 builders, due both to the model and workmanship 

 of bis canoes. Realizing fully the difficulty of ex- 

 plaining to a novice an art in itself far from easy, 



AND 



and with which he is entirely unfamiliar, the book 

 begins with a description of' the various classes of 

 canoes in general use, with their main features and 

 dimensions, and definitions of the terms used in con- 

 nection with them. Numerous examples of canoes 

 are given, and in connection with them, such plain 

 instructions in designing as will enable the beginner 

 to select intelligently the proper craft for his pur- 



BOAT 



pose, and to plan her dimensions, details and fit- 

 tings. To this end designs of all classes of canoes 

 are given, with full dimensions and details. The 

 object has been not merely to enable the tyro to 

 build oue boat as described, but to teach him the 

 principles of designing and building in such a way 

 that he may construct such a craft as he desires, 

 f ollowing the chapters on designing, the construc- 

 tion of a canoe is taken up in detail, the tools and 

 appliances being first clearly described, as well as 

 the various materials, after which follows the actual 

 work of building. Every operation is taken up in 

 order, from the selection of tbe keel to the varnish- 

 ing of the finished boat, and illustrated with numer- 

 ous diagrams. 



A chapter on sails describes all the varieties in 

 use by canoeists, down to the new Mohican settee, 

 with directions for making, rigging and measuring 

 them, while the method of proportioning the sails 

 to the boat is clearly explained, all the calculations 



BUILDING 



being worked out in detail. The many minor points 

 of a canoe, paddles, steering gears, rudders, aprons, 

 and camp outfit are also described at length, while 

 a chapter is devoted to canvas canoes. 



The subject of boat building is fully treated, a 

 rowboat of the usual construction being taken as 

 an example, and described in all its parts in such a 

 manner as to make clear the principles involved, 

 and their application to any form of boat, either 

 lapstreak or carvel build. Each of the numerous 

 technical terms belonging to the subject is defined 

 clearly when it first occurs, and as the index is full 

 and complete, the book is in itself a glossary. 



In addition to the numerous diagrams in the 

 body of the work, twenty-nine large plates are 

 printed on bond paper, containing the working 

 drawings of canoes for paddling, sailing, cruising 



FOR 



and racing, with their sail plans, rowing sailing 

 boats, large canoe yawls, and various boats for 

 special purposes, sucn as gunning boats, yacht 

 boats, and the widely known sneakbox. 



The canoe yawl, a boat between a canoe and a 

 yacht, is illustrated by examples of various craft 

 from 17 to 20ft. long, and suitable for a crew of two 

 or three on a cruise. This class of boat, while little 

 known among us as yet, is admirably fitted for 

 cruising, and will meet the wants of many who 

 object to a canoe as being too small, and yet desire 

 a boat with the same excellent qualities. The boats 

 and canoes illustrated are in all cases among the 

 best of their class, the list of canoes including Eng- 

 lish, Scotch and American craft, and are all drawn

to scale, so as to be available as working drawings. 

 The plates, for convenience in using, are placed 

 loose in a tough manilla envelope and accompany 

 the book.
