Gas Engines and Launches.

K. Grain. 123 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 causes 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.

Denver Dog Show. 
Denver, Colo., March 10o—There has_ been 
nothing of interest in Denver this week, but the 
dog show at Coliseum Hall, which attracted 
large crowds, and the splendid specimens of the 
canine kingdom deserved the admiration they 
excited. Practically all the dogs entered were 
in their allotted spaces when the show opened 
Thursday, and the club decided they should re- 
main until the close on Saturday night. Blue- 
blooded canines of many breeds were on ex- 
hibition, from the massive St. Bernards and 
Great Danes (which permitted themselves with 
the utmost dignity to be gazed upon) down to 
the small toy terriers, that fuss and quarrel with 
one another, or growlingly resent any familiarity 
on the part of the spectators. The little fellows 
were constantly the center of admiring groups 
of smartly gowned women, who almost ignored 
the larger animals. Many of the small dogs 
were in inclosed cages, some had the luxury of 
expensive silken cushions to lie upon, and snug 
wraps about their tiny bodies to keep them 
warm. 
The only feature of the show not satisfactory 
to the Kennel Club was the small number of 
entries outside of Denver. Perhaps the bitter 
cold weather was responsible for the lack of 
thoroughbreds from other cities. 
The space about the judging ring was always 
crowded, the spectators watching the making of 
awards with keen interest. 
The best of feeling did not exist among the 
blue-bloods, and the disposition to “mix things” 
was as strongly manifested as in a gathering of 
plebeians. As all the cages had strong par- 
titions of wire, there were no encounters, al- 
though Friday morning two foxterriers managed 
to shake loose a reef in their chains and in- 
dulged in a rough and tumble fight of short 
duration. Jealousy enters strongly into the 
make-up of most canines, as too much attention 
to one is likely to raise a disturbance in the 
vicinity. 
Members of the Kennel Club, exhibitors and 
spectators were loud in their praise of the work 
of Judge Hopton... Although his task was 
rendered difficult by the class of dogs exhibited, 
the work of judging proceeded with great 
rapidity. vg 
Six of .the finest Russian wolfhounds in 
the. West, belonging to Charles F. Hoeckel, 
were on exhibition. The dogs are genuine 
hunting dogs. Their parents were secured from 
Lord Theodore White, nephew of Lord Dun- 
raven, when the former left Colorado for Eng- 
land, and a pair was secured by Mr. Hoeckel 
from John C. Osgood, of the Victor Fuel Co. 
Mr. Hoeckel’s chief means of recreation is hunt-
