Bears I Ha.ve Met— And Otherc. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents 
After some years of peaceful slumber, Mr 
Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories wa- 
roused to life by a recent criticism of Mr. Seton. 
the question being where Mr. Seton got his ma¬ 
terial for his bear stories, for a number of people 
suggested that it was taken from Mr. Kelly’s 
book. With the merits of this controversy “our 
selves have naught to do,” but the matter in Mr 
Kelly’s book is excellent, interesting and worthy 
of prettv much anv author.

Gas Engines and Leamches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain. 123 pages. Price, $1.25. 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
who uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple untechnical 
fashion with ihe running of the marine gas engine, and 
with the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
to meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
are devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
to the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat. 
The main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip¬ 
tion of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
their causes and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
all technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
down a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
space and into every-day language. The amateur power 
boat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
mil trouble, and probably not a little money.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill w-as acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the 
forms of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec¬ 
tive with others.

Muriel was far behind and withdrew before reaching 
the mark. It was a beam reach to the next mark, and 
on this leg Queen did some wonderful sailing. She 
made the 4% nautical miles from lightship to lightship 
in 20m. 5s.. which was at the rate of 13 nautical miles 
an hour. The time as they gybed at the second mark 
and the elapsed times for the reach were;

Spinnakers were set to starboard and then balloon 
jib topsails, and on the schooners maintopmast staysails 
were set. The wind was not quite aft and the yachts 
were driving off the course, and all but Effort took in 
spinnakers some time after running the mark. The wind 
freshened. Queen ran away from all but Elmina, but 
that yacht made a slight gain on the run home. Queen 
finished first and just 9s. before her allowance would 
have expired. Effort crossed the line a winner. Effort 
had sailed a great race for a boat of her size. On the 
wind she was beaten by Queen by a few seconds, allow¬ 
ing for the time she got, which was 33s. a mile. Reach¬ 
ing Queen beat her about a minute and a half, and Effort 
traveled at the rate of 11 nautical miles an hour. Down 
the wind Queen could not give her the allowance, and 
the Effort won. Capt. Howell sailed the yacht. The 
times for the last leg of the course are shown in the 
Finish. Elapsed.
