§ 
| Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
¥tho uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple, untechnical 
jjishion with the running of the marine gas engine, and 
))'ith the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
> meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
"te devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
» the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat. 
‘he main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip- 
on of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
heir causes and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
(ill technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
j;own a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
‘|9ace and into Genes language. The amateur power 
‘oat man needs this book, for it will save him much time 
Mad trouble, and probably not a little money.

“IT am making this protest not because I have 
any particular reason to believe that Manhasset’s 
measurement is not as certified, but because I 
feel very strongly that any winner of such an 
important trophy as the King’s cup should be 
measured by somebody other than her designer. 
Yours very truly, C. SHERMAN Hoyv.” 
The committee seemed to appreciate my posi- 
tion in the matter, as were the other owners of 
Q boats with whom the affair was discussed. I 
was told that Manhasset could not, be measured 
until she reached New York, to which I agreed. 
The naming of the measurer was referred to me 
and I refused to name any particular one, saying 
that their own measurer, Mr. Brophy, or any- 
one else they desired, would be suitable. I also 
refused to be present when Manhasset was meas- 
ured, preferring to leave it entirely to them. 
From the time of the races to the present I 
have made no comment against the several re- 
measurements of Manhasset, and some of the 
attempted ‘means to bring her in the class. I 
told both the chairman of the regatta committee 
and Mr. Brophy, the measurer, that they were 
welcome to do anything which they legitimately 
could, and to take advantage of every latitude 
which the laxity of the measurement rule per- 
mits. 
I cheerfully submitted to Capsicum’s remeas- 
urement, although the twenty-fours’ protest men- 
tioned in the Sun’s article was not forthcoming, 
which in the case of the boats in these races is 
not necessary, owing to a clause published in 
the conditions for the races, Capsicum, as stated, 
measured 21.59 when measured by the same man 
in the same way, as when Manhasset measured 
22.20. I have two other measurers’ certificates 
for her, one giving her rating as 21.90, another 
21.92, and I wonder what Manhasset’s rating 
would have been had she been measured by the 
same measurer in the same way as when Capsi- 
cum rated 21.99? 
Were it an automobile race in question, and 
the winner found over weight, or a horse race, 
and the winner under weight, it would hardly be 
called a technicality. 
Jt is doubtful how much Manhasset’s extra 
sail, extra length, or too small displacement 
helped her, but on the other hand it must be 
remembered that Capsicum, if measured before- 
hand by the same measurer, might have added 
some twenty-five square feet to her sail area or 
carried considerably more lead in her keel. 
Another point which has been lost sight of 
is that Manhasset and Dorothy were the only 
boats in the fleet not built to scantling restric- 
tions, and owing to their far greater ratio. of 
lead to displacement were at a tremendous ad- 
vantage in heavy weather. 
I sympathize with Mr. Robbins in his disap- 
pointment at losing a trophy which he supposed 
he had won, but I hope the whole affair, coming 
on top of the Astor cup mixup last year, will 
impress itself upon those who are responsible 
for our measurement rule and bring a much 
needed revision. C. SHERMAN Hoyt. 
CAPTAIN WILLIAM G, SHACKFoRD, a well known 
yacht captain, died on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 
at his home in South Orange, N. J., at the age 
of sixty-seven. He was an ensign in the navy 
during the Civil War and for thirty years master 
in the ships of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. 
Yachtsmen knew him in connection with Mr. 
Howard Gould’s steam yacht: Niagara of which 
he was captain for a number of years, having 
superintended her construction from the time she 
was laid down. His sudden death, due to heart 
failure, was a sad blow to his large circle of 
friends. 
RRR 
S. N.. SMALL, senior member of the firm of 
Small Bros., of Boston, died at his home Oct. 
30, after a lingering illness. He was fifty-three 
years of age and a native of South Harwich. 
With his brother, J. F. Small, he went into 
partnership in the yacht designing business in 
190r. He was also the official measurer of the 
Manhasset Yacht Racing Association and his loss 
was keenly felt by the many yachtsmen he num- 
bered among his friends not only in Boston 
waters, but other localities as well.

Small Yacht Construction 
and Rigging. 
A Complete Manual of Practical Boat and Small Yacht 
Building. With two complete designs and numerous 
diagrams and details. By Linton rand 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.
