Downonthe Little Calumet, some lwenty. cight miles from Chicago, aro the marsh aud club-house belbuging to the Tolleston Club. For years hefore Lh¢ formation of the organiza- tlun, sportsmen from the city had shot over the ‘marshes and around the sloughs along the banks of the Little Calumet, and the exhaustless treasuroof duck suggested : the establisument ol a club, which was effected tn 1871 The littlo town of Tolleston, on the line of the Michigan Central, and only three miles from the ahooting grounde, suggested the name, and the Vane, der Nulller farm, comprising the best of tho shooting grounds, &nd covering aixty acres,. was urcased, clube, nutse was then built, & irame, but connnodious structure, iwo storles In hiokrut, and construt- ed with quies arenltectural eye to the requites; ments of the sportsmen, Elaborate convenl- ences for the storage of guns and ammunition ot varjous warlike impediments wero fncor- porated, and accommodations for sevents-ilve guests not forgoiten. Aba'n and e-house wers ndded to'the grounds, and s canal dug from the river toa boat-house, for the passage of hoats at. hizh water, The ne:essary utensils far navigation were supplicd, and tie members sat them down to the cnjoymentof the usufru.t of tueir outlay, Prior Lo the formatton of the Clab, Tolleaton, abstractly consldered, was but an amendment to civilization, passud by a strict party vote, and in danger of recansideration ana obhiteration ot a moment's notice, Its chief charactertistic was the crossing of the Michigan Contral and Pittaburg & Forl Wayne Roaas, in its very ven- tre. It 1s not lnprobable thut the catablishe ment ¢ a switchman at the crussing first eng- gested Tolleston, but, ns the records of tho town are {mperfect, much 1s loft to confecturo and apeculation, the only fact apparent beln; that thore are four ur fiva bouses and oceans of But: Tollestun makes up In natural ad- sand. A few miles beyond ity and on_ tho soutl, cx- tends a large moor, and in the cover dwell thousands upon thousands of ducks, Tolleston reveled in this staplo product tor yoars before tho imploua fluger of the .urban sportaman had ever pulled murdernus tringer over tha marshes, Tuere was no cJub-house tiiep, no new and high- ty-perfected fowling-pleco, and but few well- bred dogs. Tue primeval Tollestonian used a doubtful nnd dangeroas old pleve, and shot hiy dogs and ducks Tndlseriminately’ and divided. lis thno cvenly between mourning the one and entlng tho other. But Tolleston awoka ono _mornlug to a day of cxwutement and wonder. A club-houso . almust ns large as ol the ' other residences the town put togethor had been erected, and the crack of the patent firearm aad the bark ot tho fiptoveddog toid ot an funovationthat mada all Tulleaton @rln with amazomont aifd shake its hoad withs distrust, Thero “had been en- croachments before, only fn the ahnpes of small bands of sportamen, but here was an organized raui by s properly-constituted club, shuoting necording fo regu‘ation and by-law, and Iifting duzks hy rule and measnromoat. It only lasted a {lttle while, this wunderment, and Tolleston sank back Into 1ta bed of sl ond_awoio o miure, Yoar alter yoar the club held its mact- fngs and the ™ alr was fllled with smoke and featlors, As the organization grew older it grew stronger, and when it was nn- nounced thut tho season ox 1577 would open yes- terdny great preparatious werd made for tho comiort of the guests, who, when thosportYa.r- 1y opencd, *NUMBERED SIXTT Ot BEVENTT, A special car was attiched to the 3:50 tratn on the Michlgan Central Wednesday afternoun, amd almost filled. It reuched Tolleaton Hands ot 5 o’clock, and tho crowd were transported in wagons three_miles over s billowy road to the club-house. The long strip of shooting marsn spread itself beforo the veranda. The moor lies on both sldes of the Culumet, low, flat, anl level, ten milet o Ienath aud s mile oud o halt wide. Water and wild rice alternato “fu thelr sway over tho eitlp, Tuie position above the clubliousg la nscertained to ho the best shooting-grotnd, and is dlvided into three grand_ divisions, the North Sloughs, tho Centre Sloughs, and tho South 8hore. "'Tue Northern Sloughs_ urg on tho north slde of the riyer chan- nel, wnd run castward three miles, A con- tinttous chain ot miniature lakes, bordercd ys! wild rive, oxtends the wholu distance, nllowing tho passage of hoats without touching tle chan- nel, ‘Tno Centra Sloughs lie betwoen tho channcl and tho Noith Slough, nnd are two miles in Iength by half a mile wide.

But there was another clement Wednesday nizht not contemplated by thoe constitut.on of the club, and, though graud as & spectacle, wus not perhaps couduclve to an sttalument of the object of the excurslon, On the south edo of tho Littlo Calumet, threc-quarters of o mile away, caine 8 lung streak of Dame to mest and welcomo the ucsts, A turn ol the road brought thie flaming nvader into view, and, from tha club-houss ita full exteut was avparent, Yivo mlles long, and a few rode wide, 1t ratiled and roared along througa the cover, {umpmglhl bayous and frog- aml sweeplng alonz with m sort ol & curve, b magched ‘on” to the rlver, It wasn graud sight, but it cast o sort of a gloom over tho community that bud prowmised {ticlf great and loody victoriea over the ‘| ducks on the moriow. But the gloom was partially liglhitcned by the coolng of some 000 plgeons, and the parly sat sround and watched the howling flumes as they poured uloug across tis marsh. ‘ A huge supper, and then the crowd broke up fnta whist und cuchre parties In the recoption. ruows.
