The first cottage (that of F. P. Isherwood) was built the same year (1874), to which 22 have been added, many of them being large and commodious, with provision for 120 per- sons. Among the improvements since made, have been ample dock facilities, a Boat House, and Water Works.
In 1880, the Association was organized under the laws of Ohio. In 1881, an assessment of $100 on each member was made for a new and greatly enlarged Club House, which was com- pleted in June, 1882. Chiefly through efforts of the ladies of the Club, a handsome Chapel has been provided, in which religious services are held during each season. The water supply
is amplo for the Club House and tho several Cottages. In 1879, the Club extended its grounds, by purchasing that portion of the Island lying West of Grove Avenue.
The limit of membership (200) has been full for some time, the value now being $300, or a total of 860,000. The aggregate value of the property of the Association and of the cottages of mombers, is about $100,000, which is steadily growing through the increase in the number of Cottages and other improvements. It is prob- ably the most successful establishment of the kind in the chain of Lakes. With good steam- boat connections with Toledo, Detroit. Sandus- ky and Cleveland, it is made accessible from every direction, while the rango for fishing, boating, bathing and other exercise, is excep- tionally fine.
The Association is under a carefully devised system of rules and regulations, which limit its accommodations to members and their families; the latter include minor children and females of the household. Beside these, invited guests of members may be admitted to accommoda- tions not wanted by members. The charges at the Club House for members and families in 1887 were as follows: Single meals, $0.50 ; two meals, $1.00; one day (three meals), $1.25 ; two days, 82.50; three days and more, $1.00 each. These rates are alike for those lodging in Club House or in Cottages. Invited guests pay for rooms 50 cents per day extra. Members can- not hold rooms at the Club House for more than one week to the exclusion of other mem- bers desiring accommodations. One rule pro- vides that " no intoxicating liquors will be kept for sale or sold on the premises, and all gaming, intoxication and offenses against morality, decency or the laws of the land are prohibited." The Cottages are all taken care of by the Superintendent of the Club House.
The officers of the Club for 1887, were as follows :
President, M. Shoemaker; Vice Presidents. T. C. Rowland, A. L. Kelsey ; Treasurer, C. Cone; Score- tarv, Leander Burdick ; Trustees-ISSS. A. W. Scott, James Rogers, T. C. Rowland ; 1889-C. Cone. W. (). Parker, Rowland Starr; 1890-Jas. Clark, M. Shoc- makec, F. P. Isherwood.
THE LADIES' NATIONAL COVENANT.
As the War of the Rebellion progressed, the currency of the country depreciated, thus en- hancing the prices of all articles purchased, and especially those imported from abroad, whereby the pecuniary means of the country were more and more withdrawn to meet such importations, and the resources for the support of the Government in its unparalleled ontlays thus reduced. So serious had this matter be- come, that in May, 1864, a public meeting of ladies was held in Washington for the purpose of devising measures for relief therefrom, when an organization was effected, to be known as
734
HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.
" The Ladies' National Covenant," the basis and end of which was set forth in the pledge subscribed by its members, to wit:
For three years or during the War, we pledge ourselves to each other and to the country, not to purchase imported goods where those of American manufacture can be obtained. We further pledge ourselves to purchase no articles of foreign importa- tion contained in the following list : Dress goods of velvets, silks, grenadines, India crape and organdies, India face and broche shawls. Furs, wrought faces and embroideries, Jewelry, watches and precious stones. Hair ornaments, fans, artificial flowers and feathers, carpets, furniture, silks and velvets, painted china, ormofu, bronze, marble ornaments and mirrors.
This pledge, while leaving a few absolute necessaries free, cut off the articles of luxury, which were then swelling the importations of the country and correspondingly exhausting the life-blood of its financial resources.
May 19th, a meeting of ladies of Toledo was held, for the purpose of forming a Covenant, auxiliary to the National organization. The pledge above quoted was adopted, and the fol- lowing officers chosen : President, Mrs. S. R. L. Williams; Vice President, Mrs. S. A. Ray- mond; Recording Secretary, Miss Lonise Sizer ; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Cannie Mott. The practical ends sought by the movement, were the agitation of the subject, with a view to the development of a sound public senti- ment on the subject. Through discussion and signatures to the pledge, the object was largely successful. The names of over 500 of the most influential women were soon secured to the Toledo pledge, and an improved sentiment established.
TOLEDO HUMANE SOCIETY.
This Society was organized in January, 1884, having for its object " Protection from Cruelty for Children and Animals." The first organi- zation having such object, was started in Eng- land, about 1825; and the pioneer Society in this country, in 1866, in the City of New York, the same having throughout that period been under the successful management of Mr. Henry Bergh. In 24 different States like organiza- tions have taken place, and eight in Canada. As indicating something of the demand for protection to dumb brutes, it was stated at the time that in the Winter of 1884-5, 300 Sheep were frozen to death on a single Railway train near Chicago; while not long before 800 Ilogs were suffocated in cars. As to animals, three main objects are sought: 1. Merciful treatment, in securing them wholesome food and water, suitable quarters, and protection from abuse, over-loading, over-driving and the tortures of the check-rein. 2. Merciful methods in trans- portation. 3. Like methods in the taking of life-whether of the "fishes of the sea," the " fowls of the air," or the " beasts of the field." The no less important object of the Society, is protection of Children from cruelty and abuse.
Among the particulars in which these demand snch protection, are drunkenness on the part of those having charge of Children; forcing them to beg, involving practice in falsehood and deception, personal shame and liability to most demoralizing influences; forcing them to live in an atmosphere of moral impurity, and associate with depraved and loathsome charac- ters; and abandonment of Children by those responsible for their care and protection.
Reports made at the first annual meeting of the Toledo Humane Society show something of its operations for the year. It had taken 37 Children from homes and influences which were rapidly degrading them, and placed them in different institutions in the City and other parts of the State and in good homes. Of the number, 14 were sent to the Toledo Protestant Orphans' HIome; five to St. Vincent (Catholic) Orphan Asylum, Toledo; four to State Indus- trial School at Delaware; three to Lutheran Orphan Asyinm, East Toledo, and eight in good homes.
In the department of Animals, 153 cases were reported, including excessive beating of horses, 16; over-driving horses, 9; over-loading, 17; working disabled horses, 23; working sick horses, 8; starving or abandoning horses, 8; cruelty to cattle, dogs, etc., 8 ; showering horses when over-heated, 2; shaving mules' tails in fly time, 2; cows suffering from distended ud- ders, 5 ; parties reprimanded and cantioned, 73. At the close of the first year, there were two life-members, 110 active members and eight contributing members. The life-membership fee was 825; active membership, $3.00 per year, and contributing membership, any sum less than $3.00.
The original officers of the Society (for 1884) were as follows: President, James M. Brown ; 1st Vice President, W. T. Walker; 2d Vice President, O. S. Bond; 3d Vice President, Henry Kahlo; 4th Vice President, Mrs. E. H. Van Hoesen ; 5th Vice President, Miss Cannie Mott; Treasurer, E. W. Lenderson ; Secretary, J. W. Erwin; Attorney, Clarence Brown ; Physician, Dr. E. M. Goodwin. The officers for 1886, were-J. M. Brown, President ; Vice Presidents, Mrs. Joel W. Kelsey, O. S. Bond, Henry Kahlo, Mrs. E. II. Van Hloesen and Miss Cannie Mott; Secretary, Dr. H. A. Chase; Treasurer, E. W. Lenderson.
TOLEDO WOMAN'S EXCHANGE.
In response to public call, some 50 ladies of Toledo met at the parlors of the Boody House, March 14, 1883, for the organization of an asso- ciation to be known as the Toledo Woman's Exchange, the object of which was declared to be "to encourage artistic and domestic indus- tries for women, to secure the best market for first-class articles, and to provide a suitable place for their exhibition and sale." Under the constitution, any woman could become a

SOCIAL MISCELLANY.
member of the Exchange, who should subscribe to its constitution and pay annually the fee of $3.00, none but members being entitled to send articles for sale. Five Committees were pro- vided for-on Finance, on Artistic Indus- tries, on Domestic Industries, on Edibles, and on Investigation and Employment. These had charge of the entire operations of the Exchange. The contributors of articles tix their own prices thereto, of which 10 per cent. was retained for selling.
The original officers were as follows: Presi- dent, Miss Janet C. Lewis; First Vice Presi- dent, Miss Ella E. Daniels ; Second Vice Pres- ident, Miss Carrington; Third Vice President, Miss Helen Baldwin; Recording Secretary, Mrs. F. J. lloag; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Tempie Reed ; Treasurer, Miss Matilda Worthington. Subsequently, Mrs. B. E. Bul- lock was elected Recording Secretary, rice Mrs. Hoag, resigned.
The first year's operations showed the sales to have amounted to $5,458 18; of which $4,- 912.36 was paid to contributors. After paying expenses, there was left a balance on hand of $416.07. The sales were divided thus: By Artistic Committee, 8285.75: by Domestic Committee, 8953.53; by Edible Committee, 84,286.57. Of the latter, 82,787.34 was for Cakes sold ; $422.48, for 3,942 loaves of Bread ; $177.63 for 711 dozen Fried Cakes; 8278.38, for Fruit and Pickles; 8125.99 for 435 Pies ; $157 .- 43 for Butter; $119.52 for 593 dozen Biscuits; and 8217.80 for Salads, etc.
The Exchange was maintained with varying results, until the Fall of' 1887, by the organiza- tion which had managed it for four years. It then passed into the hands of Miss Jennie Nor- ton, by whom it is now conducted.
PLACES FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
The first room provided in Toledo, specially for theatrical and other public entertainments, was Union Hall, South side Summit Street, near Oak. It was built in 1850 by Thomas Dunlap. Following that, during the same year, was a like room in what was called Duell Block, Summit Street (North side), between Jefferson and Monroe. The third provision of the kind was Stickney Hall, 242-244 Summit Street, in 1855, built by Mr. Dunlap. For a period of six years, the latter was the favorite place for public gatherings of most sorts. In it were not only theatrical and other entertain- ments, but for much of the time religious ser- vices were beld there. An incident occurring there will indicate something of the liabilities of such association with the use of the Hall. At one time on the Sabbath, when Rev. E. B. Raf- fensperger, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, was holding services there, he was much surprised at the close of a prayer offered by him, to find a large portion of his congrega-
tion struggling with suppressed laughter. The explanation was soon found in tho flitting to and fro on the stage behind him of two or three rabbits, belonging to a stock of trained animals, which were on exhibition the night previous.
The fourth provision made for public entor- tainment, was what is known as White Hall, No. 217-221 Summit Street. It was built by Mr. A. M. White, of New York, and completed in . 1861. For a period of 10 years, this was the principal Public Hall in the City. In 187-, Wheeler's Opera House was built at the North- east corner of Monroe and St. Clair Streets. It was erected by the family of Lyman Wheeler, and yet continues to be largest and most com- modious place of the kind in Toledo.
The latest provision of this sort is Memorial Hall, at the Southwest corner of Adams and Ontario Streets, dedicated February 22, 1887, which is more fully described on pages 261-263 of this work.
Beside those above mentioned there now are in the City a variety of buildings more or less used as places of resort, but chiefly by organ- izations of various kinds.

Few pioneers of Northwestern Ohio were as well known, or have been more kindly remem- bered, than was Andrew (alias " Count ") Coffin- bury, a Lawyer who made his home at differ- ent places in this section. Withal, hehad quite a " turn " for poetry, of which he produced not a little for the press, while his longer pro - duction (" the Forest Rangers") was published in a volume.

CONTENTMENT IN A COT.
BY A. COFFINBURY.
Why should we sigh for paltry gold, And horde a needless store,
Which, if increased a thousand fold, But makes a thirst for more ?
Iligh Heaven bids us reconcile Our wishes to our lot ;
And thus enjoy, with cheerful smile, Contentment in a cot.
Just Ileaven hath gifts conferred Unto the rich or proud-
Oft stalks an agonizing mind, In fashion's dazzling crowd.
And yet, with naught of earthly show, The pearl of price is bought. For all the poor, if wise, may know Contentment in a cot.
'Tis rare that gold content can give, Or e'en suppress a sigh-
We need but little, while we live,
And nothing when we die.
If healthful toil be exercised, And wisdom's precepts sought,
I will not covet proud parade, Or needless glittering store.
Why should I sigh for fields or plains ? My needs require them not ;
I would not change for earth's domains Contentment in a cot.
