The President Shooting Ducks.

The President of the United States is shooting ducks on the Gunpowder river, at Benjie's Point. As soon as he arrived yesterday evening at the Club House, he started for the "Point," but the fog was so dense that no ducks were to be seen. On his return he was invited to a most sumptuous supper of Maryland delicacies, which he enjoyed with a keen appetite. The clear weather of to-day will doubtless afford the President rare sport. He will probably remain at Benjie's until Thursday or perhaps till Friday.
