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 
:o meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
ire devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
•9 the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat, 
the main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip- 
:ion of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
heir uses and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
ill technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
town a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
(pace and into every-day language. The amateur power 
3oat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
ind trouble, and probably not a little money.

Marblehead—Bermuda Race. 
Interest in the Marblehead-Bermuda race, 
starting on June 3, next, seems to be increasing 
steadily as the winter wears away and the spring 
approaches. 
With six entries already received by the Cor¬ 
inthian Y. C., certainly great interest has been 
shown for so early in the season. The Bermuda 
Race Committee has heard from several yacht 
owners who are contemplating going in the 
race, and there are, undoubtedly, a good many 
more who have the race in mind, but who have 
not yet been able to come to a decision about 
it to make their intentions known. 
There is very .little doubt that there will he, 
at least, two more Boston entries, and there are 
very good chances of getting another two, 
which would make the total from Boston five 
yachts. It. is. expected that one more entry will 
be made within g. few days of a new yacht, which 
has never yet been under sail, and two or three 
entries have been promised later in the season, 
unless something comes up to keep their owners 
from starting.

One suggestion has been made to the com¬ 
mittee, that it might be well to have a special 
class for medium-sized auxiliaries. Some of the 
owners of these boats feel that they would not

have much chance of winning against boats 
without screws, so they would not care to enter 
in either of the classes named in the circular 
which has been issued. If, however, they could 
sail against other auxiliaries only, they would 
be very glad indeed to make the trip to Ber¬ 
muda. Concerning this matter, the committee 
says, that if they could be sure of three or more 
starters, they would be glad to make a special 
class for auxiliaries within certain limits and to 
offer suitable prizes. 
There have been six entries so far—Fleur de 
Lys, in Class A; Esperanza, Margaret, Zuhrah 
and Dervish, in Class B, and Lila, in . Class D. 
It is rather curious to note in this connection, 
that so far no entry has been made in Class C. 
Entries should be made with Henry A. Morss, 
Secretary, Bermuda Race Committee, no State 
street, Boston. 
The sale of the motor yacht Fern for Mr. 
A. H. Alden to Mr. Lawrence Jones, of Louis¬ 
ville, Ky., has just been reported by Mr. Henry 
J. Gielow. The Fern is 59ft. 3in. over all, by 
10ft. gin. beam, and is equipped with a 50-horse¬ 
power gasolene engine, giving a speed of from 
12 to 14 miles an hour. She was built from 
Mr. Gielow’s plans in 1906 for Mr. C. D. Free¬ 
man, who sold her to Mr. Alden. 
After some extensive coastwise cruising last 
summer, the Fern was laid up at City Island 
in the fall, and is now there being fitted out 
for her trip south, which she will make out¬ 
side to Port Meyers, Fla. Captain August W. 
Loose, who took the Gregor-" abroad for Mr. 
Lewis Nixon, is in command. The Fern will
