Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K, Grain. 1382 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.

Ailantic City Yacht Racing. 
AFTER a closely fought contest over a 20-mile 
course up and down the beach, from the. Inlet 
pavilion to a mark off Ventnor, the sloop yacht 
M. S. Quay II., Capt. John Dutch, won the race 
from Mehrer II. by only forty-two seconds on 
July to. 
Four yachts sailed in the race, M. S. Quay-I1., 
J. E. Mehrer II., Capt. Samuel Gale; Princeton, 
Capt. Geo. B. Gale, and the J. Harry Lyons, 
Capt. Jesse Parker. All are well known by 
Atlantic City patrons, as they are perhaps the 
finest built and equipped party boats in the coun- 
try taking parties out for an ocean sail each day: 
The race was a stubbornly contested one from 
start to finish, with the additional spice added in 
the form of a protest from the captains of 
Princeton and Mehrer II., that the end of Quay’s 
boom touched the mark. The judges, however, 
awarded the race to Quay II., and as the times 
show, she won:

by the narrow margin of four seconds from Olga. 
The weather was ideal for the race. The wind 
in the right direction, from the west.. Olga was 
first over the line at 11:60:16, Albion second, at 
11:8:40. The line was from opposite the Inlet 
pavilion, ten miles to sea and return. Going out 
the boats kept nip and tuck. Three were 
in line, and the crowd in the pavilion followed 
them with field glasses. First one would lead 
and then another, and when the home stretch 
was started the enthusiasts at the pavilion could 
hardly contain themselves. Each one shouted for 
his favorite. And when they came in over the 
home line, five in a bunch, the crowd fairly yelled 
itself hoarse. Because Olga was first the crowd 
thought she won. 
The news flashed over the city, Olga won. But 
the judges gave out an official announcement. that 
Albion had won, and she only had four seconds 
to spare at that.
