A Few Practical Instructions in
the Art of Sailing.
DIFFERENT STILES OF BOATS.
The Single and Deuble Cat, the Sleep, Cut

et Ileat Sailing; Explained for Begin
I nen.
Undoubtedly the very bet way te become
an expert yachtsman and beat tailor Is te
start In when a lad with a primiti re skiff or
"bunty," and a mil Improvised from a
blanket or bed sheet; te knock around lu all
'sorts et weather; te experience every kind e
incident and accident, depending en mother
wit te get out et whatever difficulty he gets
Inte, and, et course, avoiding in the future
the thing- which get him into trouble.
If he survives this experlcnce his chances
are about even he will become an expert of
experts, gradually growing into a knowledge
that finally becomes a sort of second nature.
TnC BINOLE CAT.
But we can't all begin that way, and we
wouldn't want te It we could, snys The Detroit
Nans. A geed way te learn te sail is loge
along w ith seme ene who knows hew, te obey
his orders promptly, and then, by observa
tion, study and Inquiry, find out why at ene
time you hail te haul In en a line nud at an
other te slack up en It. This can be dene en
a lare yacht, It you liave access toeno, or en
a email sailboat; the principles in handling
ene nre precisely the same as in handling the
ether; and If you ence master the ideas the
reasons w hy you can apply them te a fere
and aft rigged vessel of any slze. But it is
net a wise thing for any ene te attempt te
handle ever se small a craft under sail w ith
neither any experience nor any idea of the
forces he has te contend with.
It Is doing this which causes the occasional
accidents en river and lake
The various rigs in common use en fresh
water nre:
The single cat.
Deublo cat.
Sleep.
Cutter.
Yawl.
Schooner.
The single cat has only ene mast and ene
sail, and, liecause of the simplicity et rig, is
the best ene for a beginner te start in with.
It has a ccnterlieard (or a staudlng keel), as
should every beat propelled by sails, because
without cither et these it is practically Im
possible te beat te windward.
If a beat were mede perfectly round like a
tub, uud had no center beard, it would only
go in ene direction, namely; bef ero the w lud,
Of in the direction tewnrds which the wind is
blowing. A sail beat cannot be made te go
directly agninst the wind, but it is the
pre ince of the designer, the builder, the sail
maker nnd the sailiuc master te niake It go
as near the wind us possible.
Within four points of the compass is the
practical limit, though the Volunteer, the
most weatherly yncht in the world, points In
smooth water as high as thrce and a half.
Te get back te the cat beat. The most is
stepped very clese te the stem, and according
te t be size the sail may be stretched by means
et a spi it leading up te the upper and outer
corner the peak or by tnesns of a guff te
heUt and loner. The tyro who essays te sail
the cat beat should steer and held the sheet
repe In his hand; if he has a companion, let
him act as ballast.
Safety Is the first consideration, nud the
begluners should learn te keep a beat en her
bottom first and te get fust time out et her
afterwerds.
Se much for the cat beat, the sailing of
which is almost simplicity itself.
Then comes the deuble cut, the next
simplest rig. In this rig there are two masts
and two sails, each rigged like the bail in the
single cat. The foresail is gcnci ally large r
than the niuinvill (a misnomer in this case)
and Is the piiucial driving sail. Here there
are two forces alweik, ene in the fere and
the ether In the after body of the beat. It
complicates things somewhat, but gives the
young sailor a better control of the leat. It
the fore sheet is hauled in clesu ami the main
sheet slacked off the head of the be.it will
pay off from thu Hind; and If the luuiu sheet
is hauled In tint ami the fore shout slacked off,
the head of- the bout will le thrown up
towards the wind, and, with the helm devwi,
she will go In stays, a maneuver which will
I descrlbed in speaking of the sloeo.
Getting tewurds larger bouts, the deuble
cat ks safer than the single, cat. They should
have two rigs, nud the beginner should al
ways sail the lie.it with the small rig, no
matter hew- light the wind or pleasant the
weather. In this, us lu the single cut, the
sheets should ue er be made fast.
The sleep, when modified with the deuble
head cam as of the cutter (as is the case w ith
the modern compromise sleep cuttei), makes
the most effective ruchig rig.
In speaking of the sleep, only ene head sail
w ill be considered. This is prejierly called
the Jib, though sometimes misnamed the
staysail. Here first conies Inte notice the
bowsprit, for which there Is ue U9e en the
single or deuble cat. Its purpose is te extend
the Jib far enough outlienrd forward te bal bal
ance the mainsail, which extends outboard
aft.
In smnll sleeps the'jib sheets should always
extend aft se as te make the beat, If desira
ble, a single howler. Ter proper handling,
however, a sleep should ha e a crew of at
least four men ene te steer, ene te 'tend
main shett, ene te tiim jib sheets and another
te weik forward cleariiig up.
.0W AS TO HANDL1.su THE SLOOP.
If j ou are lying at anchor in a place w here
there is no current, make en your mainsail,
heave your anchor short, that is, se that thu
chain or ree holding it U up and down.
Make up your mind which way you want te
"cast," that is, en which slde you want the
yacht te fill away. Don't leave it te chance,
or te luck, but choeso sides ami make it coma
your way If you conclude te cast te port pert
that will l) tuklng the wind en the starboard
sideput your helm te stai beard, catch a
turu yourself w ith the starboard (weather)
Jib sheet, liave one man stuud ready, te run
up th Jib, another te break the aucher en
the word, nml have the main sheet man push
the main loom ever te pert.
This will threw the stern et the lieat up te
the wind semen het, theu break aucher and
up Jib.
As seen ns she pays off and fills away trim
you Jib te leewnrd (wirt side newl, get some

close hauled. If the wind Is dewu the river
and you uie beating up, you gens close te
shore as the depth of water will justify and
get ready te go about en tlie iert tack.
The order i ''Heady ulut'' or "Stand by

"skipper" The jibsheit man then gets down
te leeward, where the jib sheet is made fast,
the foremast hand gees forward te clear up
and the main sheet man leeks out te see that
that the main sheet does net foul as it comes
ever, or -te take in a little slack when the

When you M that each ena is at his pest

headway going around, then slug out "Hard-a-lee
I" and dew u helm. Net hard down right
away, however, for that gives the beat an
unnecessary dras with thq rudder across hat
tf rn give her the helm gradually as she lotes
headway and comes into the wind. The man
at the jib sheets must net let them go by the
run, as is tee often done, but slack off en
them gradually, keeping a strain en ena
until he begins te draw away en the ether.
This will prevent the Jib from Dying away
out, and will also enable the beat te keep
her headway much better, a very important
thing In this maneuver, both .for safety and
for speed.
In fact, right here It may be sntd that a
person who has charge of a beat, large or
small, cannot have tee firmly impressed upon
his mind the necessity of keeping a lieat mov
ing through the water. Most accidents come,
as will be explained mero In detail in a later
article, from the less et headway. The rud
der has ue power ever a beat standing still,
though it has the most perfect control et a
beat going ahead, and the faster she gees the
mero control the rudder has.
Then care must be exercised Infilling awey,
luth by the helmsman and the jib sheet man,
net te allow the lieat te pay off tee far when
the jib has first been trimmed. It she gees
off tee far and will net immediately mind
the helm te steady her, ease up ou the Jih
sheet and trim dewu again when slie hai
gathered way sufficient te give helmsman
control.
After having made a number et stretches
In this way, suppose that you conclude Jeu
want te go straight across the river. The
wind Mug down the river, tills will give you
a lieam wind, which, ns the name signifies, li
a wind blowing directly across the course el
the yncht. Yeu will pull up your center center
beard (seme very flat beats need a little
beard with a lieam wind) and "start," I. e.,
slack out your main and jib sheets. If the
wind is light your main boom should go out
tenn nngle of about forty degrees te the
keel, If fro-li It must ceme In considerably
further. The jib will be trimmed te nlieut
the same angle, though this must Iw de
termined largely by hew the beat steers: II
she cairies tee hard n helm the jib should be
flattened te keep her off; it she carries it
alee it must be slackened or the mainsail flat
tened in seme te give her the right helm. A
jacht should always carry n weather helm,
except, possibly, In the lightest kind et
weather.
Yeu want te go straight down the rivet
for a while. "Stick out" your main sheet
until your main boom is out te your rigging,
Then lie sure you "steer steady" a perfect I)
straight course down the river, for If you de
net you nre liable te jierferm a vcrylinV
berly net allow your maiusall te gjUi with
out being lendy for it,
ovm.ve.
Tills is u delicate maneuver and is often at
tended, through Ignornnce or carelessness,
with disngreeable results. It consists lu n
sleep et changing the mainsail from one
slde te the ether while the yncht Is liefere
the w Ind. The man at the helm must held
his rourse straight dewu the river, while the
uialnsheet man, ro-enfeix-ed by the jlbdieet
man, hauls lu the uialnsheet. Ue docs this
handsomely until the malnlioem Is in te
about the same place where It Is trimmed
for ''full and bye."
Then the man who is helping him catches a
turn, the helmsman puts his helm up slightly,
the beat's head swings slowly te starboard,
the wind catches the mainsail ou the star
board side und throws it nciess the stern.
But it cannot go far nor get much headway
te rip things up, which it sometimes does,
bocatvse it has been hauled in se short, and
liecause of the turn en the clout Then
ha ing perfect control of both beat nnd sail,

The great nnd only Buck Ewing, of the
New Yerk team, has been doing seme great
work this season.
Speaking of the rlse of local players who
are new famous en the professional ball field,
Jehn Hellly gives a graphic description et
the manner hi which "Buck" row te Ids pres

qulrcr. Years age the champion amateur
team of Cincinnati was the Mohawk Brown
club, se called becaue the majority et Its

In addition te the hnselmll team the club
was of n social kind, composing many mem

Tlie matter was discussed nt meeting of
the club ou Saturday night, nud many names

Bellly was called
upon te furnish the
name of a man who
in his judgment
would strengthen
the weak Set, In
recalling the play
ers whom he knew
he happened very
felicitously te
bring up Ewing.
He had met "Buck"
en the old Pendle

Columbia, a )ear
or two liefore and
was struck with his
ease and graceful
manner of playing.
Jumping up he an
nounced that he

club.

"A fellow named Hiving, who lives up In
Fulton," replied Jehn.
"Why, we never heard et hlm,"was the
nnswer, generally se fatal te icrseus iu every
rank et life.
Jehn was persistent, hew ever, and induced
the president te make an engagement te go
up te the Pendleton grounds en the next
(Sunday) morning. A buggy wns procured
ami the trip made. Arriving they found a
game in progress.
"Which is Ewing?" risked the president.
"That fellow en soceuu, just watch him,"
was Jehn's reply, mid, as he t out u. tbcr

The f uture champieu was uuceuscitd mero
he was being watched, and, therefeie, played
all the better. After the clese of the game
hn was approached and asked If he would
like te play with the Mohawk Brew us.
"Yeu will get your car fare and $9," was
the offer held out te him.
"Yes, I'll take It," promptly answered
Buck, rather flattered by the tempting salary
premised.
"When can j ou join usl" ivns asked,
"De you play this afternoon I'
"Yes, at U o'clock."
"I'll be there."
And he was there, nud played a game at
second that ejiened the eyes of the big gather
ing present, jumping nt ence Inte iiepular
favor. While w ith this club he dcvclojieil his
catching ability and alternated behind the
bat nnd at second base.
A year liter, when in Rochester, N. Y.,

club, w hlch w as in need of a catcher. It w as

could get ene. After n moment's thought
Geihardt looked up nnd said:

"Just the man I was thinking ubeut," re
marked lteilly.
The result was that Buck was telegiaphed
for that night nud cuught the season out.
The following wlnUr Beb Fergusen, healing
his playing lauded by a manager who was
atieut te sign him, quietly slipped elf uud en
gaged him for the Trey club. There he met
Cenner, Welch, (Jillespieand ether players,
and earned tlie reputation that he new en
joys, lu his case the old saying that n pro
phet Is without honor in his own country is
partly applicable, for when catching for the
Mehnwk l!i owns in 1SS0 it wus preiKued by
the directors of the leugue team te engagu
him, Heilly nud Joe Beminers; but thu pro pre
