Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their Principles, Types and Management. 
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 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.

American Y. C. Race. 
In an easterly breeze and loppy sea a fleet of 
forty-three yachts sailed the courses laid out 
on the Sound on Saturday, Aug. 24, by the 
American Y. C. The course was from “Ss start- 
ing line off the Scotch Caps, S. W. 24% 
miles around the striped buoy off . oth 
Light; then E. by S., 3% miles around the black 
spar off Week’s Point in Hempstead Bay, and 
then 3% miles N.W.by N. home. A distance 
of 93% miles. The schooners went three times 
around, the N. Y. thirties twice, and the smaller 
class but once. Both schooners got over the 
line too soon, and when their signal was given 
at 12:10, they had to wheel around and recross, 
Queen beating Ingomar and getting a lead 
which she increased till the end, winning by a 
wide margin. 
Seven of those exceptionally fine little thirties 
appeared and sailed a closely contested race, 
Phryne winning out, with Nepsi a close second. 
Thelema has been improving all season until 
she is now in excellent form, “and she beat the 
other first division handicap boats, boat for boat. 
Jolly Roger took first prize from Rascal by 
her time allowance and Huntress came in for 
a first prize in the third division, Wink winning 
in the fourth. 
All four of the original Larchmont 21-footers 
participated, Vaquero winning. 
Nora II. won the peeebee honors 
There were only two class Q boats, but they 
caused considerable Ta teee as it was the sec- 
ond appearance of Manhasset, C. H. Robins’ 
new Gardner designed craft for the King’s 
cup races, soon to be sailed. She showed her 
ability to beat Capsicum in the failing breeze of 
this race at least. 
Schooners—Class B—Start, 
12:10—Course, 284 Miles.
