A Complete Manual of Practical Boat and Small Yacht 
Building. With two complete designs and numerous 
diagrams and details. By Linton Hope. 177 pages. 
Cloth. Price, $3.00. 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon- 
stration, one of a centerboard boat 19ft. waterline, and 
the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de- 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail, are given for the building of both these 
boats. The information is not confined to these yachts 
alone; they are merely taken as examples; but what is 
said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods.

Men I Have Fished With. 
Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Illus- 
trated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning and 
have been of sustained interest. The “Men I Have 
Fished With’ was among the most popular series of 
vapers ever presented to ForEsT AND STREAM readers.

TWO OUTDOOR BOOKS. 
Two recent books, by cld Forest AND STREA}| 
contributors of the past generation, who ar| 
well known to the guild, have recently bee: 
added to the current literature of the woods ani 
field, and are attracting special notice by reasoi| 
of the prominence of the writers and the interes| 
of the subjects. The most pretentious of th| 
two volumes, though not as kaleidoscopic in it 
features as the other, is W. B. Mershon’s “Pas 
senger Pigeon,’ a $3 book, reviewed in Fores 
AND STREAM last May, which gives as complet| 
a history as can be written of this interestin | 
bird whose eee migrations, enormous num| 
bers and sudden disappearance have been a topi| 
of discussion for the past Bee years. 
Mr. Mershon’s family has been in the lumbe| 
business for generations. The author is a mer| 
ber of the State Forestry Commission of Mich 
ean and Park Commissioner of the City of Sag} 
naw, to say nothing of his having been Mayc| 
of the city like his father before him. He 
on home ground in his field of study, and ij 
dealing with his subject has quoted all the be 
‘uthorities of those earlier days of extraordina| 
flights, roosts and nesting places, as well as tl| 
farmers, netters and market men, who dwe
