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 
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 uses 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.

The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
reggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
axchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
tn« hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days, 
to swap lies.”

Yachting in the Pacific. 
San Francisco, Dec. 21.—Interest in San 
Francisco, Los Angeles and Honolulu in the 
trans-Pacific race from the latter city of San 
Pedro, Cal., is on the increase. It now looks 
as though the Hawaiian Islands may be repre¬ 
sented by a fleet instead of a single yacht. 
Eben Low, a Honolulu enthusiast, is said to 
have made arrangements to bring a Gloucester 
fishing boat from the Newfoundland banks 
around the Horn to San Pedro in time for the 
contest. According to reports, he has secured 
a boat with a record for speed and seaworthy 
qualities and one which will cut a prominent 
figure in the ocean race. 
The San Francisco Y. C. held an “overland 
cruise” last Sunday, starting from the club 
house. On the evening of Dec. 18, Henry Payot 
gave an illustrated lecture on “Venice” under 
the auspices of the club and an informal dance 
followed the talk. 
The rowing men of San Francisco are pre¬ 
paring for the winter season. Members of the 
Dolphin Rowing and Swimming club have taken 
up active work and have nominated officers for 
the coming year. Those nominated were: W. 
A. Remensperger, President; R. H. Ohea, 
Vice-President; L. D. Weinand, Recording Sec¬ 
retary; Adam Scheuppert, Treasurer; J. D. 
Thurman, Captain; A. A. Bertrand, Lieutenant 
Captain; Thomas Kenniff, John Phillips and 
Frederick Sherry, Directors; J. D. Thurman, J. 
J. Cronin and H. McKevitt, Delegates to the 
Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen; E. E. 
Barthold, Sergeant-at-Arms; S. P. Vacini and 
J. H. Barthold, Executive Committee. 
The Bermuda Race. 
Five yachts have already signified their in¬ 
tentions of competing in the ocean race of 1908 
from Marblehead to Bermuda. The black 
schooner yacht Dervish, winner of this race last 
year and owned by Commodore Henry A. 
Morss, is one of these, Henry C. Doscher’s 
white. schooner Zurah is another; then there is 
the big white schooner Fleur-de-Lys that raced 
across the ocean in 1905, owned now by Dr. 
Lewis A. Stinson, the auxiliary schooner Mar¬ 
garet, owned by George S. Runk, and R. D. 
Flody’s little yawl, Lila. 
It will be interesting to note the difference in 
time between boats of such widely different 
sizes in a trip of this length to see how the 
actual times of the little fellows compare with 
that of the larger ones. There are times on the 
ocean when a canoe could run a ship hull down 
in an afternoon—when a summer’s sea, with 
long, easy swells, looks inviting enough to tempt 
any yachtsman. Then again there are times 
when the larger craft will go two feet to the 
small one’s one—when the sea tumbles over in 
steep hummocks before half a gale, and the big 
hull smashes down the humps which the little 
fellow has to climb over. 
No one can tell what the racers will meet on 
their trip, and therein lies the charm of the sea. 
Sails? No. Spark Plugs. 
Fore ’n’ Aft, a bright and interesting yacht¬ 
ing monthly magazine, has gone the way of 
many of its predecessors. Gone under, capsized 
and sunk. Power Boating, formerly a sailboat 
man’s magazine, under the name “Boating,” has 
chucked all her rigging over the side, and under 
its present name, with the remains of Fore ’n’ 
Aft stowed under its hatch, comes out for the 
choo! choo! men with spark advanced, full 
speed ahead. 
We are sorry to lose Fore ’n’ Aft. for it—as 
was also Sail and Sweep—was a bright sun¬ 
shiny spot for the sailboat men’s recreation. 
Mr. C. D. Durkee, of the well known ship 
chandlery firm, won the small working model 
of an electric launch that was raffled off at the 
Motor Boat Show in the Grand Central Palace.

Clcuh am pr1ce $30(> 1S ' By Linton Ho P e - 177 pages. 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon¬

the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de¬ 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail, are given for the building of both these 
boats. The information is not confined to these vachts 
alipne; they are merely taken as examples; but what is
