“THE SMALL YACHT” 
By EDWIN A. BOARDMAN 
'T'HE author, who has large personal experience in designing and sailing 
* small yachts, being the winner of the Seawanhaka cup in 1905, deals 
with the entire subject of handling racing boats in language that is readily 
understood by the youngest amateur. There is nothing which makes for 
success in small boat racing, from tuning up to jockeying, left out. Part 
One deals with preparing the boat for the race, while Part Two enters into 
every detail of handling under every condition, with notes on American and 
foreign racing, expense, equipment, winter care, sailing conditions, types, 
etc. Altogether it is not only the latest, but the best work on the subject— 
invaluable for the enthusiast. Cloth, 46 plates from photographs, 18 
diagrams, 24 plans.

CHASED BY ELEPHANT. 
Cycling in Rhodesia occasionally has the 
charm of adventure—if there is much charm in 
the excitement, of the chase when the chased 
is the human rider. 
A cyclist, who was riding from Broken Hill 
to Ndala on the edge of a bush clearing almost 
ran into the hindquarters of a baby elephant— 
half a score hands high. 
“Very likely I never got off my bike so 
quickly before, and I suppose both of us looked 
rather bamboozled. My new acquaintance gave 
me a long, doubtful look, and, screaming, ran 
toward home or rather an old tusker and three 
cows browsing on the opposite end og the 
glade,” he said in telling of his adventure. 
“In wonderment I stood rooted to the spot. 
The wind was blowing toward me, and the bull, 
a magnificent monster, swung his trunk to and 
fro through the air to smell me out. It appears 
that elephants cannot see very far; besides, the 
sun was right against them. As soon as the
