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.

San Francisco Yachting. 
Nothing further has yet been announced as 
to the plans of the San Francisco yachtsmen 
for the coming season, at least in the way of 
racing events. Great preparations, however, are 
going on in regard to the reception of the 
United States naval fleet, which is expected 
early in May. The local clubs intend to have 
their fleets in the finest possible trim, and will 
do their part in making the bay a scene of un¬ 
usual magnificence. 
Work has been commenced on the new house 
to be erected by the Aeolian Y. C. on the west 
side of San Leandro Bay. The Aeolian Y. C. 
has a membership of eighty. 
The San Diego Y. C. has set the date for the 
annual regatta for the Lipton cup for Aug. 31 
and Sept. 1. Invitations will be extended to all 
yacht clubs of California to take part. San 
Diego will be represented by the Aeolus, which 
will be placed in commission within a few days. 
She has been in the water all winter, and within 
the last few weeks has been given a number of 
try-outs. The yacht is now three inches over 
the prescribed waterline length for boats com¬ 
peting for the Lipton cup. By changing the 
sails and trimming them it is believed that the 
waterline length of the boat can he shortened 
sufficiently to permit her to come under the 
rules governing the Lipton cup races. A new 
challenger for the Lipton cup is now being 
built at San Diego by Lawrence Jensen, who 
laid the keel about two weeks ago. Mr. Jensen 
designed and is building the boat for himself, 
and is confident of bringing out a yacht which 
will be able to take some of the honors. Al¬ 
though construction work has but just been 
commenced, Mr. Jensen already has named the 
yacht Trilby. She will have a length over all of 
39ft., and a 10ft. beam, and she will sail in the 
22ft. class. She will have a semi-keel, an iron 
keel reinforced with a centerboard. She will 
have a displacement of 8,200 pounds, as against 
that of the Aeolus, which Jensen designed and 
built, of 9,600 pounds. The Trilby will carry 
750ft. of sail in her mainsail and jib. With the 
centerboard up she will draw 3ft. of water, and 
with the board down, 8ft. She wifi have water¬ 
tight cockpits, and when closed will be water¬ 
proof. Her spars will be of cedar, and the 
fittings will be of tobin bronze. Her mainmast 
will have a length of 39ft., with a boom of 29ft. 
and a gaff of 21ft. Her bowsprit will be 2ft. 
long, measuring from the stem. The mainmast 
will be 13ft. from the stem. The yacht will 
have a flat instead of a hollow floor. The 
Trilby will not sail under the flag of the San 
Diego Y. C., custodian of the Lipton cup. as 
was at first reported. She may fly the colors 
of the Chula Vista Y. C., or the Junior Y. C., 
recently organized. In any event, Mr. Jensen 
intends to produce a boat which will be able 
to give a good account of herself in any of the 
races along the Southern California coast. 
L. C. Pistolesi, who was last summer ex¬ 
pelled from the San Francisco Y. C., after hav¬ 
ing some difficulty with the officers, has been a 
leader in the organization of a new club, re¬ 
cently incorporated in Sausalito. The new or¬ 
ganization sails under the name of the Golden 
Gate Y. C., and the directors are: L. C. 
Pistolesi, W. J. Carlisle, P. J, Fagen, H. M. 
Beverly, W. S. Fleming, F. L. Maino, W. W. 
Haley and W. L. Sutherland. 
The activity of the Model Y. C. at the lake 
in Golden Gate Park is still kept up, and a num¬ 
ber of models are out every Sunday. The 
final race for the first Directors’ cup was run 
off recently. For the past six months the boats 
have been racing for this cup, but no boat has 
before been able to win it the required two 
times. The Mischief, owned by Henry I.oudon, 
proved to be the successful yacht after a very 
close contest with Commodore*J. E. Brannan’s 
model Ruth, which was forced to allow her op¬ 
ponent a 2 sec. handicap. The Ruth met with a 
little bad racing luck by running off the course. 
If she had held straight she probably would 
have disposed of her rival. The directors of 
the club have donated six cups, each to be won 
twice by the same craft before becoming perma-

American requirements. Full instructions, even to the
