SHOULD CARRY LIGHTS.
To the Editor o} The Chicago Tribune,
CHICAGO, july 50.-f think 1t 1s about time that
parties styling themselves boat clubs were aware
of the fact that they should curry u headlight on
their bonts while exercising on the lake Mt night
This they should be obliged to do owing to the
immense speed Of these boats, the tmpossibility
Of pcrceiving them ~ sime 70 get Out Of theif f
doing in cuse OF II collision with other boats: l
believe, Mr.. Editor, it you would enlighten some
OF these newIy-tlcdged .sprnnts for rowing
glory us to the necessity OF carrying lights you
would BIZ rendering great benefit tn those per-
sons who in tho evening seek enjoyment on the
lake. Lately one Of these boat clubs that inftst
TINT part of our lake bordering on the north
side Of Chicago avenue run into boat, nearly
cutting it in Two, leaving its inmates in great
personal peril, and might have ended III Il fright
fui accident but for their timely rescue. IN the
case Of small boats there is not so much need of
lights on account Of the less speed and the
the tritling damage done when small boats do
collide. It is different with racing- boats, and
from their want OF being provided with a light
arc considered great pest on the lake, and lnuy
be compared to tho reckless driver who hus
caused himself to be obnoxious on the public
streets. i SUFFERER

The Captain Of tho scow Nancy Dare, Friday
night, had considerable trouble with the lumber
showers that unloudcd his vessel Of the cargo on
board. The showers had been - left F." several
times by Captains Of lumber craft leaving and
not paying them tor their work, and when the
Dare cullcd Il tug, after unloading, for the pur-
pose Ut being towcd FROM the market, the lum-

We mentioned some days ago the fact Of spars
projecting out OF. the water near the Clay
hunks. 4 correspondent at Foscoro, Mich,
