has been a source of immense satisfaction and pleasure 
to the members of the club. It commands a magnificent 
view of the lake from the mouth of the Detroit River 
southward to Maumee Bay, and eastward to Put-in-Bay, 
comprising within these limits one of the finest sailing 
courses known on fresh water, and has been the scene of 
numerous regattas and races between the fast boats of 
Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, and other clubs. Credit .should 
be given to Commodore W. C. Sterling, of Monroe, for 
the large measure of success which has attended the incep- 
tion, growth, and management of this institution, a gen- 
tleman whose enthusiasm, liberalit}', and judgement in 
everjlhing pertaining to rational sport and the promotion 
of its best interests have been gratefully recognized many 
times, and more recently by his election to the office of 
Vice-Commodore of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Dec. 10.— Six shooters turned out for 
the weekly shoot to-day. P. J. Smith, who shot in excellent 
form, won the Traver cup, giving him to date two wins on this 
trophy. There were others "who also shot," who, when they 
glance at the scores, draw a deep sigh and wonder if . there was 
any shot in the shells. 
Miss Many appeared on the grounds with a new gun. The gun 
was not what Miss Many had expected it would be, and as a 
result her scores were not good. 
There were not a great many present to-day, but those who were 
here, or a part of them, rather, had considerable fun. The 
expressions on the faces of some of the shooters were very 
amusing; the scores will tell the rest:
