Manchester Wins Seawanhaka Ctip Races* 
Manchester, the American challenger, representing the 
Manchester Y. C. in the races for the Seawanhaka Cup, 
sailed on Lake St. Louis, defeated the Canadian de- 
fender Alexandra in three straight races. 
The first race was sailed in a 15-knot breeze three 
times over a four-mile windward and leeward course. 
Manchester heat Alexandra by 3m. 
In the second race Manchester -vyon by 2m. 52s. This 
race was over a triangular course, and the weather con- 
ditions were very much the same as those of the day 
previous. 
The third and deciding race was sailed in a heavy 
wind, and Manchester won by pm. 37s. 
A full account of the races will appear in the next 
issue of Forest and Stream. 
K. Y. C/s Long Distance Powet Boat Race* 
Four of the twelve boats that started in the Knicker- 
bocker Y. C.’s Long Distance Power Boat Race from 
College Point, L. I., to Marblehead, Mass., finished and 
eight withdrew on account of the very bad weather en- 
countered. 
The start was made on Saturday, July 22. The pre- 
paratory signal was fired at ii 150 and at noon the boats 
started. The first ten boats crossed the line within 42s. 
of the gun, and the other two within im. 32s. The start- 
ers crossed in the following order :

At the time of the start the wind was S.W. and the 
water was choppy. Everything indicated a shift of wind 
to the E., and it did go tO’ that quarter on Saturday 
night. The following is the order and time which the 
boats passed Gangway Buoy, which is 7% knots from 
the start : 
6 Blink 12 50 00 
7 May 12 51 60 
8 Aquila ; 12 62 15 
9 Glissando 1 ■ 12 66 40 
1 Aranca 12 58 45 
2 Highball 1 00 00 
3 Em Bee 1 00 35 
4 Woodpile 1 00 36 
15 Igniter 1 00 86 
6 Yeddo -. I 00 40 
10 General Bumps .1 07 10 
11 Talisman 1 08 11 
Igniter was the first boat to quit. She broke her. thrust 
and retired. When five miles off New Haven May 
smashed her clutch and she was backed all the way into 
New Haven, Em Bee ran into^ Stonington, while Yeddo- 
and Highball put in to Block Island. Aranca ran in to 
Newport and General Bumps broke her gasolene pipe 
and in some manner managed to get into Cotuit. Wood- 
pile retired at Cottage City. 
The conditions changed for the worst on Saturday 
night and the boats had to buck an easterly storm. The 
weather continued bad all through Saturday night, but 
the wind moderated on Sunday afternoon. 
The owners of the four boats that finished— Talisman, 
Blink, Aquila and Glissando — deserve great credit for 
going_ over the^ Shoals and around the Cape under the 
prevailing conditions, and we are inclined to believe that 
had they realized how bad it really was they would have 
waited for the weather to moderate. 
Ip any event, it was a splendid test of the boats and 
their - engines, and they will probably never be called 
upon, to undergo so severe a strain again. 
The Regatta Committee, composed of Messrs. O. H. 
Chellborg, Harry Stephenson and A. E. Potter, were on 
board the old schooner Ramona, which was used as a 
judges’ boat. The committee had an uncomfortable 
night of it Sunday rolling around in the heavy ground 
swell. 
_ Talisman, the first boat to finish, crossed the finish 
line on Monday at 9:24:56, having made the 280 miles in 
45h. .24m. 56s. Talisman had a light northeast wind 
down Long Island Sound to Plum Island. Between 
Block Island and Point Judith the sea began to roughen. 
From Point Judith to Gay Head the boat met a heavy 
northeast wind and cross seas. 
Blink was the second boat to finish, crossing the line 
at 5 :31 Monday. She was 8h. 6m. 4s. behind Talisman. 
Aquila was third and Glissando fourth. The finish 
times follow : . 
Talisman, William Saville 9 24 56 A. M. 
Blink, C. W. Esterbrook. 5 27 10 p! m! 
Aquila, Allen H. Chase 7 30 08 P.' m" 
Glissando, Frank L. Andrews 7 30 12 p". m'. 
Talisman wins first prize and Glissando wins second 
prize on time allowance.

A Book on Gas Engines and Launches. 
The Forest and Stream Publishing Company issues 
a neat volume entitled “Gas Engines and Launches,” 
by Francis K. Grain, M. E., which will be sure to meet 
with a hearty welcome among the legion of power boat 
men. This volume is a collection of the articles written 
by the author and published from time to time in the 
Forest and Stream, revised, enlarged and illustrated. It 
is the- only work of its kind intended strictly for the 
marine gas engineer rvho does not care to trouble his 
brain with arithmetical problems or a too learned dis- 
course on the subject. The first pages of the book give 
a very clear explanation of the internal combustion en- 
gine, then follows a description of both two and four- 
cyle types of engines with explanatory illustrations by 
the_ author. From these we are carried along with de- 
scriptions of the different parts and their functions. A 
few pages are devoted to launches in general^ with some 
very good practical advice to the would-be purchaser of 
a power boat. One of the best features of the book is 
the matter following, which is a very dear and concise 
description of gas engine troubles in general, their cause 
and how to remedy them. This little volume contains a 
vast amount of practical knowledge boiled down in a 
small space and written in terse, every-day- lan- 
guage, -all technicalities being avoided. The author’s long 
practical experience in all branches of the manufacture 
of gasolene engines and launches has enabled himi'to. in- 
corporate in these pages j ust the exact knowledge wanted 
by amateurs, and every page of the entire work holds 
one’s, interest to such an extent that the reader will 
hardly be content to lay down the book until it is read 
through. The book contains 125 pages, and is just of 
the right size, to fit the pecket. It furnishes the amateur 
PQwer boat ihan with a whole lot of good advice an 4
