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.

The Sir John Nutting Cup Races. 
In May, 1906, Sir John G, Nutting, Bart., of 
Dublin, presented to the Chicago Y. C. a very 
handsome trophy for the encouragement of 
yachting on the Great Lakes, both in America 
and Canada, and the 18ft. restricted class was 
selected for these races. The first contest for 
the trophy took place off Chicago, Sept. 6, there 
being three entries all representing the Chicago 
Y. C., no challenge for the cup having been re- 
ceived this year from other clubs. The entries 

were Pequod, designed and built by A. G. 
Cuthbert; owner, Dr. C. P. Pinckard; skipper, 
E. M. Mills. Apache, designed by Small Bros. 
and built by Cuthbert; owned by a syndicate; 
James B. Keogh, managing owner; skipper, A. 
G. Edwards. Seminole, designed by Crownin- 
shield, and built by the Racine Boat Building 
Co.; owned by a syndicate; A. C. Sullivan man- 
aging owner; skipper, Ed. Rosing. The dimen- 
sions of the boats are as follows:

The judges were: Com. Garrard Winston, 
Saddle and Cycle Club; Com. Julian Armstrong, 
Evanston Y. C., and A. Sheldon Clark, South 
Shore Country Club. Official timekeeper, S. S. 
Hibbard, Chicago Y. C. The races were under 
the joint management of the Chicago Y. C.’s 
regatta committee, H. P. Finney, chairman, and 
the Sir John Nutting cup committee, G. H. 
Atkin, chairman. 
First Race, Sept. 6. 
Perfect sailing conditions favored the opening 
day for this regatta. A ten-knot breeze was 
blowing E. by N.E. The course was triangular, 
two nautical miles to a leg, twice around. Ed- 
wards ran down the starting line on the star- 
board tack just before gun fire and compelled 
Pequod to put about, the two boats crossing on 
the gun, with Apache in the weather berth, 
Seminole crossing the line 22s. later, Apache 
gradually drew away from Pequod and appeared 
to be pointing higher. Pequod came about 
under her stern and was immediately blanketed 
by Apache coming on the same tack. Skipper 
Edwards maintained his lead to the first buoy, 
which he rounded at 2:40:04, Pequod rounding 
exactly tm. later followed by Seminole in 25s. 
On the second leg, which was a balloon jib 
reach, Pequod picked up 30s. on her opponent. 
and on the third leg which was also a broad 
teach from the starting line, there were no 
changes made in the positions of the boats. It 
looked as though Apache would keep her lead 
over the course the second time. After crossing 
the starting line for the second round Pequod 
and Apache had one of the prettiest jockeying 
matches seen for many years in these waters. 
with the result that Pequod came off victorious 
and gradually increased her lead on windward 
work, rounding the first buoy 1m. 4s. ahead of 
ber rival. During the beat on the first leg 
Seminole at one time had second place. but was 
beaten to the buoy by Apache by 20s.. Curious- 
ly enough none of the balloon jibs were broken 
out on the second leg of the second run. and all 
ran down to the buoy with the top stops of the 
sails unbroken, Pequod slowly increasing her 
lead, crossing the finishing line at 4:48:48, 
Apache and Seminole having a ding-dong fight 
on the last leg far second place.
