Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain. 182 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.

Too True. 
A QUESTION was put to me the other day that 
I calculate would make some of our rule mant- 
facturers ponder for some time. were they 
earnestly consider the question from the view- 
point ot him who asked it. 
He was a man who knew little nothing 
about rules and not much about yachts even, but 
yachts being the topic this was his question: 
“Why is it, if everybody is trying to get the 
fastest boat, that they can never arrive at any 
definite decision as to which is the best? They 
have been long enough at it. I should think by 
this time to know which is the best kind of a 
yacht. 
“T should think after all these years of yacht 
racing they would have tried every kind and 
know something definite about it; yet everyone 
seems to have a different idea of what .a fast 
boat should be.

round; one says she. needs lots

Yacht Races at Jamestown. 
Rumors have been afloat that the races 
Jamestown had been declared off,’ but in con- 
tradiction to this Dr. John E, De Mund, of the 
Jamestown Exposition regatta committee, says 
that preparations are being made for the expo- 
sition yacht races, which will be held in Sep- 
tember. He says all talk of postponement or 
abandonment of the races is baseless rumor and 
that ing Edward’s, President Roosevelt’s and 
Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenge cups will be con- 
tested for. 
Chairman Charles P. Tower, of the Jamestown 
yachting committee, states that he larger craft 
will be raced on outside courses, while the little 
classes and the Roosevelt and King’s cups events 
will be decided in Hampton Roads. 
So those who have gone to the expense of 
building Q class boats particularly for this race 
need not worry quite yet. Time to do that when 
official statements are given—not mere rumors. 
Yacht Sales. 
Amonc the yachts recently sold through the 
agency of Mr. Henry J. Gielow and not pre- 
viously reported is the 2o00ft. -over,.all steam

mer to Mr. Bryan Heard, who will use the boat 
principally on the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent 
waters. Russara, which was designed by Mr. 
Gielow and is 75ft long, made the trip outside 
via the Atlantic coast and Florida.
