The lake is a beautiful sheet of water over seven miles i 

 circumference, front ten to fifty feet deep in places. The 

 courses were marked out to give ample opportunity for all to 

 see, at any point of Ihe race. The buoys were sunk low in 

 Ihe water, so that, the boats should not be impeded. Every 

 precaution was taken by the Old Colony Road to insure indi- 

 vidual safety and comfort. This lake is only one hour's rule 

 from Boston, and 1ms been fitted up with every possible care 

 for the convenience of the public. A base ball ground lms 

 recently been added to its many advantages ; it is one of flu- 

 most desirable places for picnics and pleasure parlies. There 

 is a nice little steamer, Lady of the Lake, together willi row- 

 ing and sailiog boats, that give ample opportunity for those 

 that desire a trip on the surface of the lake.

FOX HUNTING IN WEST VIRGINIA. 



Editor Forest and Strsam : 



As a few remarks relative to our sport last week after foxes 

 may not be out of place, I venture to write. 



On hearing Minor and "Bills' " hounds on the chase, I hast- 

 ened to a stand; there waited until near noon; music of 

 hounds had died in the distance, and 1 had about, concluded 

 Mr. Fox had given them the slip. Aud I guess lie had, for 

 he stepped out from under a bank and stood within fifteen 

 yards of me! I can never tell how he got there without my 

 seeing him coming, unless I was looking at my new gun, a 

 combination (rifle and shot) just received from Nichols & Le- 

 fever, of Syracuse, N. Y. Now 1 had it all " made up" as to 

 how I would proceed. Of course I would see the fox eoming.and 

 if he stopped then I was going to try the inserted title barrel; 

 if no stop, Ihen with shot. By his slipping up on me he got the 

 better of me so suddenly I " roostered " both barrels, got ritle 

 sight, but couldn't find rifle trigger; could not manage this 

 handful of triggers, and as Reynard didn't care to wait till I 

 made the selection, he (about the time I had found the right 

 one) started to trot off. Then where! oh, where was the 

 shot trigger ? Well, I didn't find it, just then ! And away he 

 went unhurt. 



I was much vexed over this, as I wotdd have liked much to 

 take that fox in with me. Was so thoroughly disgusted with 

 myself, to give vent to feelings I told the candid t ruth (what 

 sportsmen don't always do about such things as this) and the 

 folks had a good laugh at me. Still I had a hankering after 

 that, fox, and told the boys I would have him by the hind legs 

 before night if he didn't look sharp. So out I went ; dogs 

 had him up again. I slipped up on Minor, shook a bush and 

 ' ' boused " him near out of his boots. We took oflr stands. 1 

 sat there educating myself in the modus operandi of my fowl- 

 ing piece, and had just graduated, when Minor's " heavenly 

 music " broke the stillness, and here came foxy. His line lay 

 some fifty yards to my right, and as he was passing I gave him a 

 dose of No. 1. Those pellels caused him to cut a '"pigeon 

 wing " then and there. Then he came nearer toward me. 

 When within a rod I gave him the coulents of the rifle (never 

 thought to slip in another shot shell !) It happened just as 

 ■well, as the rifle " curled him up,"
