There is at present 13 inches orwatei' at tho skidsj -and about '15 feet in tho centre of the lake: • W° .originally 'had ' a jetty about I}' chains long, running into doep water, but it was washod away three or four years ago ; and we have not-found the need of it until now. We are now replacing it, and boating as usual will bo carried on as soon as completed. Our boats and gear are all new, and iti the best interests of tho club the committed deemed it advisable to shut the shed until'the.,jetty was completed, as most of tho members land and picnic on tho opposite sido of the lake,' and tho boats were suffering through being pulled up on a shelly shore.
