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 untechmcal 
fashion 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 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 
and trouble, and probably not a little money.

CANOEING NEWS NOTES. 
The Atlantic Division of the American Canoe 
Association held one of the most successful 
division meets at Hermit Point, on the Hudson 
River, opposite Riverdale, from May 29 to June 
2, which it has ever been the fortune of any of 
the divisions to hold. The camp formally opened 
on Wednesday afternoon, when Vice-Commo¬ 
dore Ohlmeyer arrived, with about fifty tents 
and seventy-five members in attendance. Many 
of the men did not arrive until evening, and it 
was a novel sight to see them come sailing up 
the river, each with a lantern swung from the 
mainmast, as a sailing light. The evening was 
largely spent in getting things settled for the 
night, which, however, does not take very long, 
as most of these canoeists are veteran campers 
and cruisers. 
Thursday morning opened clear and cold, with 
a strong northerly wind blowing, which kicked 
up a tremendous sea against the flood tide, and 
it was not suitable weather to start races for 
any kind of craft. Visitors arrived in camp 
with every trip of the launch that served as a 
ferry boat, which by the way, was a very satis¬ 
factory means of transportation. It was an ideal 
day in camp, and every one enjoyed the meet¬ 
ing with old friends. One of the prominent ar¬ 
rivals of the day was J. S. Wright, from New 
Bedford, Mass., a veteran canoeist, and also Wm. 
J. Ladd, from Winchester, Mass. In the after¬ 
noon, with the turn of the tide, the water be¬ 
came sufficiently smooth to start the races, but 
owing to the extremely swift current it was 
found impossible to make to windward against 
it, so the sailing races had to be postponed until 
Saturday. The paddling races were all run off 
in the afternoon, which furnished interesting and 
exciting sport, and a full account of which will 
appear in Forest and Stream next week. 
A very delightful camp-fire was^ held in the 
evening under the auspices of the Knickerbocker 
and Fort Washington canoe clubs. The sing¬ 
ing was the best that has been heard in a long 
time. 
Many of the canoeists attended business on 
Friday and Saturday, while those more fortunate 
spent the time quietly in camp. Saturday noon 
brought every one back again, and a few addi¬ 
tional members, which swelled the total registry 
to one hundred and one. The sailing races were 
run off in the afternoon and furnished_ lots of 
amusement to the spectators, as the wind was 
very strong a part of the time, and owing to 
tlje backwardness of the season and consequent 
lack of practice there were many capsizes. The 
chief sailing event, the race for the Elliott 
trophy, was won by Com. Douglass after a very 
close contest with Wm. G. Harrison, of the 
Knickerbocker Club, who finished second, _ the 
lead alternating between the two several times 
during the course. The other trophy event, the 
paddling race for the MacLister cup, was won 
by Edward K. Merrill, of the Red Dragon Club, 
of Philadelphia. The result of this race was very 
unsatisfactory, owing to the fact that. Mernll 
was the only contestant who had a racing pad¬ 
dling canoe, the others all using canoes of the 
cruising type. Alfred VonDohln, of the Fort 
Washington Club, finished second, and if he had 
used a racing canoe would have in all prob¬ 
ability won the race. . . 
The annual meeting of the division was held 
in the evening, when the following officers were 
elected for the ensuing year: Vice-Corn., Fred¬ 
eric Andreas, Quinquingus C. C.; Rear-Corn.-, 
Theodore Quasebart, Red Dragon C. C.; Purser, 
Wm. J. Flynn. Knickerbocker C. C.; Executive 
Com., Geo. P. Douglass, New York C. C., 
Matt. Ohlmeyer, Knickerbocker C. C.; Geo. 
Stark. Hiawatha, C. C.; Racing Board, H. Lan¬ 
sing Quick, Yonkers C. C. 
The camp was a surprise to every one, and 
was a great credit to the officers and commit¬ 
tees who perfected the arrangements. It demon¬ 
strated more clearly than has ever been shown in 
this vicinity the splendid opportunities for camp¬ 
ing and cruising that are available from the 
upper end of the city. It also demonstrated the 
enthusiasm that is being shown among local 
canoeists, and is a forerunner of what may be 
expected later if the weather will ever assume 
normal conditions.
