New York. Aug. 10.-With the exception
of scowe. catamarans and Chinese junks-
the last in a class by itsef-sailing craft
of all nations are modelled on similar
lines-the familiar shape of rowboat.
There may be more or less overhang at
either end. and difference in proportional
details. but the keel, rounded buge, wedge
shaped bow, and stern with swelling but
tocks, or quarters, are found everywhere.
The size of a sailing craft, with the COM

yawl lugger, or one of the host of lateen
rugged vessels known as the felueca type.
Sails may be loosely classed under two
general headings-square and fore-and-
aft. As the name implies, the former is
square, or nearly so, and is hung by its
upper edge TO a spindle-shaped spar called
a yard-which is fastend at middle to the
mast and is steadied by lifts and braces
The Savannah morning news., 1900-08-12

II is set by hosting this yard after the
lower corners, or oIews, are hauled down
to the ends of a yard below, and is furled
by lowering the yard. hauling the clews
and body up to it, and bundiing the whole
on top of the yard in a tapering roll
lower yard, however, does not hoist nor
lower, and the clews are hauled down and
made fast to the rail of the vessel. An
other manner of handling a square sail
is TO haul it out and in on hoops sliding
on the creased yard; and still another
as in the case of a flying square-sail,"
or a stunsail-is to set it from the deck;
but creased yards, flying square sails, and
stun-sals, are nearly obsolete.
FOre-and-Aft Canvas.
Fore-and-aft canvas is in several dis
tinct designs, the most common and inn
portant of which is the rapesium-shaped
pattern Of a sailboats largest sail. AS
sail alone, it has no name, unless
'schooner-rig' is a name; II is a main
sail. a fore-sail, mizzen, jigger. spanker.
or trysail, according to the type of the
vessel and the name of the mast which
supports it, It's characteristics are its
immovable forward edge, or huff, secured
90 mast hoops, and its gaff which ex-
tends the upper edge. 1t may or may
not have a boom at its lower edge, and

rig gives vessel no special advantage

Columbia S. C., Aug. IA reunion and
picnic was held at Shiloh Church, An
derson county, to-day 20 commemorate
the last armed resistance made by any
organized force of the Confederate army
to the Federal forces. 1t is proposed to
erect a monument on the spot. The fight
occurred on May /, 1865. after the surren-
der at Appomattox. and but few days
before President Davis was taken pris-
oner.
A company of South Carolina Arsenal
Cadets, under Capt j. P. Thomas, and
squad of militia, returning to Newberry
TO be disbanded encountered a squadron
of Federal cavalry at this church and
sharp skirmish ensued, two men being
killed and several wounded. The state
cadets and the militia were part of the
Confederate army and had never sur
rendered or been paroled. This fight is
claimed 10 the last between organized
forces, certainly east of the Mississippi
river.
Great preparations have been made to-
day, and a large crowd was gathered.
