Ma«ibtta, Ohio, Oei. 33.— Hiawatbas, of Muskingum, and 

 the Eighty-one Archers, of Marietta College— The former 

 club numbers about thirty members, and includes ladies. The 

 latter is strictly a college club. Bows in use are of American 

 Highfleld and Aldred manufacture, and range in weight from 

 40 to 481bs. The Aldred bows are the finer finish and more 

 Eexible, yet they cost so much more than others that it is dif- 

 ficult to decide which is economy. I think Aldred has sent 

 no lance or lemonwood bows to this country over fifty-five 

 pounds, so it is impossible to judge as to their durability. I 

 have in use a Spanish yew, of forty-nine pounds weight, 

 made by Aldred, that 1 have used constantly for four months, 

 and to-day seems better than ever. Will " Archer" be kind 

 enough to tell us whether he has ever used a bow of this 

 ■wood. I have broken three fine bows of lance and lemon. 

 True, they wire heavier and may not have been broken had 

 they been lighter ; but I prefer using a bow of forty-nine 

 pounds to buying at fifty-five or sixty pounds every two or 

 three months. Conditions— 20 yds., SO inch target :

ATHLETICS. 



—The Athletic and Sporting Hfews is the name of a new 

 •weekly journal started in Montreal a month ago. It is de- 

 voted chiefly to cricket, base ball and what are popularly 

 known as athletic sports. It is an eight-page paper and credit- 

 ably gotten up. 



A UnosTLT Velocipede. — Brighton, England, has been 

 startled by the apparition of a man mounted on a bicycle of 

 colossal dimensions, who glides along on a level with the tops 

 of lainp-posts, towering above the height of ordinary car- 

 riages. The driving wheel of this machine is nearly eight 

 feet in height, so that the rider's head is about twelve feet 

 from the ground. The courage required to mount on top of 

 a wheel of this height was only outdone by the dexterity with 

 which the machine was guided and the velocity attained. A 

 champion bicyclist ventured to try a ride on this monster, and 

 found it necessary to cling ignominiously to a lamp-post in 

 order to dismount. A man of ordinary size is enabled to ride 

 this bicycle by means of a secondary treadle placed upon the 

 usual crank, and connected by a rod, the action or stroke be- 

 ing what is termed reciprocatory. The wheel is 360 inches 

 in circumference.
