fine oil for summer use, and in winter one-third high cold 
test cylinder stock and two-thirds zero cold test paraffine 
oil. 3. Nothing to be gained by Using 86-degree gaso- 
lene. It is much more volatile, more dangerous, has an 
unpleasant odor, and costs much more than 74 or 76 
degree naphtha, 4. Store gasolene and 74 degree naphtha 
is usually of a gravity by the Beaume scale used for 
measuring liquids lighter than water from 69 to 73 de- 
grees, while what is known as 76 degree runs sometimes 
as low as 74 degrees. 
Sainte Claire. 
One day last spring there was launched from Wood's 
yard; Cily Island, a likely looking little craft. This boat 
was the 21-footer Sainte Claire, and as she was rather 
different in some respects from the cabin racing 
yacht of that size used on Long Island Sound, she at- 
tracted some attention, even the workmen of the big 
shipyard close by remarked her long forward overhang. 
At that time few realized that this boat was destined 
to accomplish great things on fresh water later in the 
season. 
Sainte Claire was designed by Mi. Clinton H. Crame, 
of Messrs. Tarns, Lemoine & Crane, for Mr. F. H. 
Walker, of the Detroit Country Club. She was one of 
five boats built by members of the Detroit C. C. to 
•compete in the races for the Lipton Cup and the 
"Walker Cup. 
In the Lipton Cup races, held on Lake Michigan 
Aug. 13, 15 and 16, she won two out of three races. 
There were nine starters. The Lipton Cup is a per*

petual challenge trophy, and Sainte Claire's owner had 
the pleasure of bringing this prize to his home club. 
In the Walker Cup races, held on Sept. 6, 7 and S, 
off Detroit, Sainte Claire was quite as successful as 
she had been in the earlier event. Again she won the 
series, taking two first prizes. _ 
Sainte Claire's owner will enter the boat in the 
coming season's races, and the chances are that she 
will do better than she did her first season.
