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 the 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 uses 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 probably not a little money,

Uncle Lisha’s Shop. 
| Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin-

The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh- 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days, 
“to swap lies.”

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. [I- 
lustrated. 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 opular series of 
papers ever presented to Forrest AND STREAM readers.

Conditions for 1908 Bermuda Race. 
Witt1am L. Carrtton, Henry A. Morrs and 
Thomas Fleming Day, who have been arranging 
the details of the next ocean yacht race to Ber- 
muda, announced the conditions recently. The 
start will be made from Marblehead, Mass., on 
June 3, and the finish will be the same as last 
year off St. David’s Head, Bermuda. The con- 
test promises to be the leading international 
yachting event of the season on this side of the 
Atlantic. 
Four classes have been prepared for, to be 
known as A, B, C and D. The A boats will 
consist of all yachts over goft. rating; B, all over 
7oft. and not over goft.; C, those not over 7oft. 
but over 50ft. and D, those not over soft. 
Auxiliaries may enter at their rating, but their 
engines must be sealed. The top class is for 
go-footers, which have never raced to Bermuda. 
The rating measurement in classes A, B and 
C will be computed by adding the length over 
all and the load waterline, and dividing that 
sum by two. In class D the rating will be the 
over all length. All yachts will be rated from 
the nearest foot. In case of one-half the next 
greater foot. 
~ Time allowance for the course of 675 nautical 
miles will be figured at ten minutes per foot of

rating in class A, fifteen minutes in class B, 
twenty minutes in class C, and thirty minutes 
in class D. 
There will be no restrictions as to the num- 
ber or character of the crews and none as to 
sails. Yachts in classes A and B must carry at 
least two small boats or tenders, and yachts in 
classes C and D at least one boat. Stores and 
water sufficient for thirty days must be on board. 
Two compasses, sextant, chronometer and barom- 
eter must also be carried, as well as the usual 
equipment of anchors, cables, lights etc. Weight 
may be shifted fore and aft for the purpose of 
trimming, but no weight in the form of ballast 
or stores may be jettisoned, except as a measure 
of safety. 
Entries must be made to Henry A. Morss, sec- 
retary Bermuda Race Committee, No. 110 State 
street, Boston, not later than noon on Friday, 
May 29. Such entries must be accompanied with 
a full description of the yacht. 
Prizes, of which details will be announced 
later, will be awarded to the winner in each class. 
A second prize will be awarded if five or more 
yachts start in a class. -In addition a trophy 
presented by Commodore Morss will be awarded 
to each yacht completing the course, but not 
winning a prize.

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 Hope. 177 pages. 
Cloth. Price, $3.00, z 
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. ¢
