By C. Bowyer Vaux (‘‘Dot). Illustrated. Cloth, 
168 pages. Price, $1.00. New and revised edition,

structors who communicate their own enthusiasm to 
their pupils.

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.

Uncle Lisha’s Shop. 
Life in a 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.

between the many yacht clubs and to bind to¬ 
gether New Jersey’s ten thousand captains. 
T hey need it. And that’s why we’re here.” 
One very amusing department called the 
"Yachtsman's Kindergarten,” was a parody on 
a book of instructions, as follows: 
"On standing rigging—I. Wily doesn’t it sit 
down part of the time? 2. Does a boom 
traveler ride on a pass, or must he pay his way? 
3. How far can a mast step, etc., etc.” 
But poor Jersey Yachtsman, like many an¬ 
other, has faded away.

Motor Boat and Sportsman’s Show. 
As a sportsmen’s show, the Garden was as 
big a success as ever; all kinds of fish and game 
trophies covered the walls, with fly-casting tour¬ 
naments and swimming races in the two water- 
filled tanks on the .main floor. The boats ex¬ 
hibited were all on the main floor to the right 
as you entered the Garden, and consisted of the 
exhibits of the Detroit Boat Co., Stamford 
Motor Co., and H. C. Squires & Son. 
The Detroit people had the largest exhibit, 
in which they displayed nine boats. The largest 
of these was a 28x4ft. speed boat named the 
Lemon and painted a bright yellow above 
water, with varnished cherry decks, mahogany 
transom and quartered oak coaming. The 
others ranged in size from 21ft. to 14ft., one 
of them a 20ft. dory, 5ft. 6in. beam, fitted 
with a 3-horsepower motor and having a loose¬ 
footed spritsail for use as an auxiliary power 
when a fair wind coaxes one into enjoying the 
delights of a sailboat. 
The Stamford Motor Co.’s exhibit consisted 
of four small launches or yacht tenders, and the 
one and only sailboat exhibited at the show was 
a duplicate of the Manhasset Bay bug class, 
designed by C. D. Mabry. 
H. C. Squires & Son exhibited four of the 
Mullins steel boats, some of them fitted with 
power and some rowing boats. 
Bill Graham, of Long Island, had a motor 
scooter on exhibition that attracted consider¬ 
able attention. 
What the boat exhibit lacked the engine and 
accessories made up for, as there were a num¬ 
ber of these exhibits all along the Twenty-sixth 
street side of the building on the ground floor 
and in the balcony. 
The Chicago—Mackinac Cruising Race. 
At this season of the year western yachtsmen 
are closely scanning the lists of eligible boats 
and making pilgrimages to the eastern seaboard 
in the hope of picking up a likely winner for 
the Chicago Y. C.’s Mackinac race, the classic 
of the Great Lakes. That organization has set 
July 25 as the day for the start of its 1908 race 
for the $1,500 Mackinac cup, now held by Com¬ 
modore George Tramel’s Vencedor, sailing last 
year under the colors of the Chicago Athletic 
Club. 
This 330-mile cruising race brought out a 
mixed field last summer of fourteen boats, 
schooners, sloops and yawls, and this year at 
least twenty starters are looked for. The con¬ 
ditions of the race which is limited to sail yachts 
of five tons and upward, will be decided upon at 
the yacht owners’ meeting on March 10, at 
which time invitations will be sent to all the 
yacht clubs on the lakes, both in the United 
States and Canada. The past winners of the 
race are: 1904—Sloop Vencedor, Columbus Y. 
C. 1905—Schooner Mistral, Chicago Y. C. 
1906—Yawl Vanadis, Chicago Y. C. 1907— 
Sloop Vencedor, Chicago Athletic Association. 
The schooner Valmore has been purchased in 
New York by Wm. Hale Thompson, of the 
Chicago Y. C., and will be sailed to Chicago 
in the spring for this event. 
The Chicago Y. C. held their annual dinner 
at the South Shore County Club on Feb. 29. 
The dates for the races for the Sir John 
Nutting cup have been changed by the regatta 
committee of the Chicago Y. C., and will be 
Aug. 28. 29, 31 and Sept. 1.

American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail, are given for the building of both these
