Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. 
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 che 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 prebably not a little money.

New York Y. C. Cruise. 
On Thursday, Aug. 8, the N. Y. Y. C. fleet 
assembled in Glen Cove, forming one of the 
prettiest marine pictures of the year. There 
were over forty racing yachts ready to partici- 
pate in the daily races from port to port, varying 
in size from the large schooner Endymion to 
the small N. Y. thirties, six of which appeared 
to start, besides the numerous steam yachts that 
always make a N. Y. Y. C. cruise so popular, 
for the men who like to yacht in comfort have 
an opportunity here of doing so and watching 
the other fellows do the racing. 
The first day was a day of fluttering colored 
bunting, launches splashing from yacht to yacht 
as acquaintances were revived, orders being 
given out for the morrow’s run, etc. Every one 
was dressed in white or blue, looking natty 
against the white holystoned decks and spark- 
ling brass work. All looked their best on this, 
the first day; after that, it was a case of race, 
race, race. 
Aug. 9 dawned with a hazy, windy sky, and by 
11 A. M., when the race was started, the waters 
of Long Island Sound were feather-white with 
a fresh northeast breeze, rolling up hills and 
hollows, into which the little boats would drop 
almost out of sight. 
The course was a four-sided one. Starting at 
the famous red spar buoy in Glen Cove, the 
yachts crossed the Sound close-hauled to a mark 
off Parson’s Point; then beat up to Long Neck 
Point, squared away and ran to a mark off Oak 
Point, near Oyster Bay, and then beat to wind- 
ward, the last leg finishing in Huntington 
Harbor. 
All the contests were of a very complicated 
character as to class. Three classes had been 
arranged for the smaller boats, from the little 
30-footers to the 68ft. sloops. Then there had 
been arranged four classes for the schooners. 
ranging from the 55{t. boats to the 9o-footers, 
and there were also two special classes for which 
prizes had been provided by the club. The 
races were also for the cups offered by the rear- 
commodore of the club, Mr. F. F. Brewster, for 
schooners of more than 75{t., for schooners of 
less than 75ft., for sloops of 57ft. and 68it. 
3ut the main interest in the races to be sailed 
during the runs to Huntington Bay, to New 
London and Newport lies in that all the boats 
are “tried out” for competition in the two 
classes that sail in the Astor cup races and that 
sail in one class for the King’s cup at the end 
of the cruise. This is the crowning event of 
the cruise, and no one is ever quite certain how 
the King’s cup race will end. 
At 11 o’clock the first class was started, the 
smallest boats being sent away first, and with 
all they could lug in the way of sail, the six 
little 30-footers made a splendid picture. Next 
to be sent away were the 48-footers Gardenia, 
Kestrel, Irondequoit and Pellegrina; then the 
57-footers Aurora, Avenger, Winsome, Istalena 
and Doria, and the new yawl Windward on her 
maiden race.
