Scottish Archers.—A. curious scene 
took place at the Archers’ Hall on October 
mil, 1818, A party ot North American 
Indiana, who were giving an entertainment 
nl the theatre, were invited to come and dis¬ 
play their skill in archery before the Royal 
Oompnuy. The performance began by the 
Treasurer and Secretary shooting before 
the Indians at a distance of 100 feet; the 
Treasurer hit the paper (four inches in di- 
ameterVal the second shot, much to the de¬ 
light of tin: Indians, who, ou trying this 
range, could make nothing of it. Their 
hows were too weak for the weight of the 
arrows; the rauge they were accustomed to 
was about twelve [races, and at this their 
practice was good, but not belter thau that 
of the Highlanders. The Indians were 
next presented with four Scotch arrows and 
two bow-strings each, and then succeeded in 
shooting fairly well at the 100 feet range. 
“Six of Hie members of the Royal Company 
took up the like number of Indians at butt- 
distance, and shot a Jew ends, during which 
the Indian opposed to the Secretary ‘paper¬ 
ed’ with liis first arrow, and manifested 
tokens of great joy upon the event, hut was 
beaten by the Secretary’s second arrow, 
which was a better ‘paper.’”— lltus. Sport¬
