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 
*11 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.

Unde Lisha's Shop. 
Life in * Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin¬ 
son. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days, 
“to swap lies.”

Men I Have Fished With. 
Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Il¬ 
lustrated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning and 
have been of sustained interest. The ‘Men I Have 
Fished With” was among the most popular series of 
papers ever presented to Forest and Stream readers.

69.6 and Alera, 68.6. Adelaide won three first 
prizes, five seconds, finished third in two races, 
fourth in two, and fifth in four. Alera won 
two firsts, six seconds, finished third in five 
races, sixth in one race, seventh in one, and 
failed to finish in one race at her own home 
club. If she had crossed the finish line in that 
race she would have been tied with Adelaide for 
the pennant. The percentages of the other five 
boats to qualify were; Banzai, 45.55; Altair, 56.6; 
Nepsi, 64.2; Minx, 54.2, and Phryne, 41.5. 
The four little veteran racers in the Larch- 
mont 21 ft. class went at it hammer and tongues 
all summer—for the fourteenth consecutive 
year. There were eighteen races provided for 
them. Vaquero sailed in thirteen, Houri and 
Dorothy in twelve each, and Follette in ten. 
Vaquero won eight races and finished second in 
three. She scored a percentage of 85.1. Houri’s 
record is 64.4 per cent., that of Dorothy 54.5 
per cent., and that of Follette 35.9 per cent. 
During the past five years each one of the four 
boats have won a championship pennant, and 
each one a Larchmont race event series prize. 
There was a good contest among the five boats 
of the New Rochelle Y. C. one-design class, 
built last spring. Three of them qualified, and 
Echo won the pennant with a record of 82.6 per 
cent. Nereid was a close second, with a per¬ 
centage of 57.’ Each sailed in nine races of the 
seventeen provided. Each won five first prizes 
and four seconds, and Nereid won five firsts 
and two seconds, finishing third in two races. 
Mischief, the other boat to qualify, made a 
record of 33 1-3 per cent. 
Two of the nine Manhasset Bay “bug” boats 
competing in championship races qualified. 
Skeeter sailed in thirteen races and won eight 
first prizes and five seconds. She made a record 
of 91.4 per cent. Big Bug won five first prizes 
and three seconds, and fell away in four races. 
She made a record of 69.1 per cent. 
Two of the eight American Y. C. dories also 
qualified. Tantry, with thirteen, and Faraway, 
with twelve of the sixteen races provided. 
Tantry won eight first prizes, four seconds and 
one third. She had a percentage of 88. Far¬ 
away won five firsts, four seconds and two 
thirds, with a percentage of 70.2. 
Of the Manhasset Bay Y. C. one-design boats, 
built in 1901 and sailing last summer for their 
seventh season, Arizona alone qualified, with a 
percentage of 91.7. She won her pennant fairly, 
however, as she finished first in nine races out 
of twelve and second in two others. 
Visitor II. 
W. Harry Brown, of the New York Y. C., 
is to build the largest three-masted fore-and-aft 
auxiliary schooner yacht in the world. The 
yacht has been designed by Swasey, Raymond 
& Page, of Boston, and the order to commence 
construction has been placed with Lawley & 
Co. there. The boat will be finished next sum¬ 
mer. It is intended by Mr. Brown to use her 
the following spring for a trip around the 
world, while next winter he expects to cruise 
through the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean 
Sea, and then take her up the Amazon as far as 
she can go. Eventually it is intended to make 
an exploration through the little-known islands 
of the Southern Pacific, as well as various Asiatic 
waterways, so that the yacht will he in con¬ 
tinuous commission for a period of over three 
years. 
The boat will cost more than $300,000. She 
will measure 197ft. 6in. over all. with a 150ft. 
waterline and a beam of over 32ft. She will be 
built of steel and have a displacement of 800 
tons and a coal capacity of 250 tons, ample to 
carry her across the Pacific. She will have 
three decks, refrigerating and ventilating plants, 
and electric light and heating. 
There will be a library and music rooms, 
smoking and lounging rooms, and stateroom 
suites, with lavatories and baths. She will also 
be equipped with small arms and rapid fire guns. 
Mr. Brown is one of the wealthiest members 
of the yacht club and lives in Pittsburg, where 
he is interested in steel and mining properties. 
The new yacht is to be called Visitor II.
