Gas Engines and Launches.

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 diificulties 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.

Perio. Amo DREAM: 
Belle Harbor Y. C. Race. 
WHILE yachts on Long 
light, indifferent winds, there was a stiff south- 
westerly breeze whistling over the south shore | 
of Long Island at Rockaway, where the Belle 
Harbor Y. C. have their races. ‘Three sloops 
and three cats sailed over the club course 1n | 
Broad Channel. With the sloops, additional in- 
terest was centered, as this race was for them a 
sail-off of a tie between Uno and Coot. 
The sloops were started at 3:15, Coot getting 
a little the best of it by about a length. It was 
a beat to the first buoy against a strong flood 
tide. By pointing higher, Coot lea-bowed the 
tide, while Uno and Glad Hand had to make a 
couple more tacks. 
The cats were started five minutes after the 
sloops, but they overhauled all the sloops except 
Coot before the first mark’ was turned: The 
times at the first buoy were: 
Coot .eabeer eee $92 00 Umno” aayete. . 4 67 00 
Vitesse” 6.3.4 4 63 6 Wettal WiaSiearsccee 4 09 00 
ALG] Cacatc anion sicle tiorene 4 05 00 
Glad Hand got aground on Ruffle Bar and 
lost so much time she withdrew. 
With tide and wind both pushing them, the 
fleet made a quick run back to the second buoy 
and rounded it as follows:

Witessel  Saskrs ros cc vere 418 00 IN Gttaiiy war eweastectes 4 00 00 
GASEI END fis wai sfalatele’otatbiave 418 30 
On the short beat back to the starting line 
Ariel passed Vitesse, and Uno gained on Coot. 
In the beat out to the first buoy on the second 
time around the course Uno gained consider- 
ably, the times being:

On the second run before the wind the 
positions were not changed much, and the buoy 
was rounded as follows:

It was a heart-breaking dash to the finish 
line, taking one long leg across the channel and 
then a short hitch to the finish. Uno was com- 
ing up hand over hand on Coot in the freshen- 
ing breeze, and almost caught her, Coot winning 
by less than a minute, while Ariel in the large 

cat class won handily. Vitesse won in the 
smaller cat class. The finish times are:

Bensonhurst Y. C. Race. 
To more thoroughly try out the OQ class, the 
race, given by the Bensonhurst Y. C. on Sept. 
3, was held. But, unfortunately, several of that 
class, content with what they had found out by 
the several races already held, had already 
started south for Jamestown. 
Elenor, Little Rhody, Dorothy, Manhasset are 
the ones that did not race. Had they been 
there, the result might have been different; but 
as it was, the Boston boat, Dorothy Q., won 
the honors, beating Soya, the second boat, 2m. 
3s. over the 12-mile course. There was a nice 
wholesail breeze from the south, and the course 
was full of sail handling work, as they went 
three times around the Bensonhurst, Fort Ham- 
ilton and Sea Gate buoys, leaving all marks to 
port. 
It was a broad reach to the Bensonhurst buoy, 
a jibe and then another reach to Fort Hamilton 
and a beat back. Dorothy Q. took the lead 
from Vingt-trois and Soya, which led her at the 
start, on the beat, and kept it till the finish. 
There was also a class of dories racing.
