A CLIPPER SHIP— I_B. 8.. City. A dip per ship Is one that is built with a view to speed at the sacrifice of carrying ca pacity. It is a vessel built with very sharp lines, more or less raking masts and great spread of canvas with a view to speed. It Is the development of a model for the mercantile* marine, first built In Baltimore Md., and called "Baltimore clipper." In 1552 the following claim waa made for the clipper by the compilers of the "Annals of San Francisco": "The cl'p per ship is virtually the creation of San Francisco. The necessity of bearing mer chandise as speedily as possible to so dis tant a market, one that was so suddenly overstocked by goods, forced merchant.* and shipbuilders Interested In the Califor nia trade to Invent new and superior mod els of vessels. Hence the modern clipprr, with her great length, sharp lines of en trance and clearance and fiat bottom. These magnificent • vessels now perform the longest regular voyages Q known in commerce along both coasts of the Amer icas in about four months, while the or dinary ships of older models used to take six and seven months to cover the pam» distance." The Cyrus Wakefleld and Tll lle S. Starbuck are not classed as clip pers. THE DRAGON FESTIVAL— Enq.. City. The dragon festival which the Chinese pro pose to celebrate in this city in the early part of June is celebrated In China during the first five days of the fifth month, and there It is known as the "Festival o* the Dragon Boats." Early on the first day of that month every householder nails a few leaves of artemisa and of sweet flag eight feet from the ground to expel noxious in fluence and bad odors. Then follows tna dragon boat races on the rivers and lakes. The boats are about fifty feet long and are shaped so aa to represent a dragon In gaudy colors. 'as the Chinese understand a dragon. The . festival has Its rise, ac cording to legend, in an event that oc curred about 3200 years ago. Kluh Yuen, a high Minister in the time of the Chan dynasty, proposed certain salutary re forms to the Prince, who was his relative, but was refused. He proposed again, but was once more refused. Nothing daunted, he made a third appeal, when he was again refused and dismissed from tho service of the Prince. Kluh Yuen, not wishing to survive the ruin of his country, which. he foresaw, plunged Into a river and was drowned. His countrymen, among: w^iom he was very popular, on learning of the circumstances of his death traversed tn» river in all directions in the hope of re covering his body. The boat race Is an imaginary search for the body. On tha other four days there Is a grand festival, according to what the Chinese consider grand, and about the middle of the fifth day there are various superstitious and Idolatrous performances in the houses of each family, according to established usage. . . >.\ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
