FOREST AND STREAM. 
Jacobs yards, at City Island, is putting yachts 
over, now that good weather has set in, at the 
rate of from one to three a day. The large steel 
schooner yacht Corona, Mr. Dodge owner, is 
being fitted out. 1 he English built yawl Sybarita 
has started to scrape down her spars. The sloop 
Irondequoit has been all painted and varnished 
black and copper color. The schooner Marjorie 
and yawls lern and Alcatorda are afloat, the 
latter having had a low bulwark built on her in 
place of the small thumb rail she originally 
carried. The yawls Tempest, Narkeeta and Albi- 
core are overboard or ready to go, also the 
Childs sloop More Trouble. The new owner of 
the sloop Pleasure is evidently contemplating 
having an engine put in her as the space neces¬ 
sary to cut out for it is all chalked out on her 
deadvvood. Mischief, Mr. Busk’s new yawl, lies 
to an anchor, having minor repairs made to her. 
I he composite English yacht Kahwa is being 
broken up for her lead ballast. The two steel 
launches and the steel yawl Jacob is building 
are in that tantalizing state of finishing up, 
always the most trying to both owner and builder.

B. Frank Woods has delivered the Dodger to 
Mr. Pratt. The Gardner Class Q, for Baltimore 
parties, whose name is supposed to be Dorothy, 
is timing up in Manhassett Bay, while the Crane 
sonder boat was sent up to Larchmont last week 
also to be tried.

The Hewett hydroplane experimental boat was 
given a trial on Friday 24. She makes such a 
terrible fuss dragging all the supports to the 
flat planes that she gives the impression of going 
very fast, yet it really is nothing like what a 
modern speed boat of her length would go.

Purdy & Collison have delivered Yaqui to Mr. 
L. M. Josephthal, and last Saturday, the 25th, 
they launched Ailsa Craig, the Cary Smith & 
Ferris designed 40ft. launch for the Bermuda 
race. The detail of fittings on this boat has been 
most carefully carried out and she looks fit for 
her task. A photograph of Idaho, designed and 
built by Messrs. Stearns & Mackay, the rival of 
the above boat, has been received too late for 
this issue, but will appear next week. Idaho was 
built for Mr. Peter Shields, of Cape May, N. J.

The ten new one-design boats built by Wilson, 
of Baltimore, for the Babylon Y. C., L. I., have 
been delivered. They are from designs by Mr. 
C. D. Mower and make very handy, powerful 
little centerboard sloops carrying 337 square feet 
of sail. Their dimensions are 24ft. over all, 15ft. 
waterline, 8ft. beam, 18 inches draft. 
« * « 
Designer Mower also has gotten out a hand¬ 
some set of lines for a jib and mainsail rigged 
boat 31ft. over all, 18ft. waterline, 9ft. beam, for 
Mr. John R. Suydam. This boat will be built 
by Gil Smith, of Patchogue, for use on the Great 
South Bay.

The newly organized Whitestone Y. C. has 
secured for its club house the former residence 
of Elmer A. Keeler on the shore front at White- 
stone, and already has a membership of about 
seventy-five, among whom are Capt. I. J. Mer¬ 
ritt, F. A. Schermerhorn, James Maher and F. 
W. Zitsch. The officers of the club for the year 
are: Com., Elmer A. Keeler; Vice-Corn., Louis 
F. Eggers; Rear-Corn., James F. Maher; Fleet 
Capt., F. W. Zitsch; Fleet Surgeon, Dr. Lucian 
H. McCullon; Sec’y, George Hake; Treas., E.

Only two power boats for the Bermuda race 
have materialized, the Idaho and Ailsa Craig. 
While the entry list of the sail boat race to 
Bermuda is growing each week.

Yachtsmen and canoeists will be sorry to 
hear of the death of Mr. Joseph H. Berry, of 
the firm of Berry Bros., varnish manufacturers, 
of Detroit, Mich., who died recently at the age 
of sixty-eight years.

Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain. 132 pages. Price $1.25. 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable tO' every man 
who uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple untechnical 
iashion with the 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 mam 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 
and trouble, and probably not a little money.
