The Wabuelaee Prizb Cor.— The sport of flying pigeons 

 is being brought to a very creditable stage of perfeciion by a 

 number of enthusiastic gentlemen in this country. Chief 

 among those who are active in importing choice strainB and 

 in other ways advancing the pastime is Mr. Waefelaer of 

 Hoboken, N. J., who has offered a handsome prize cup for 

 the champion loft of homing pigeons in the coming tourna- 

 ment. The cup is of chaste design ; the donor's name being 

 raised upon the rim, and the whole surmounted by a finely- 

 executed pigeon. 



Intebnational Crioket. — The most brilliant inter-conti- 

 nental match ever witnessed in the United States came off on 

 the St. Georges Cricket Ground, on the 7th and 8th insts. 

 This match, the fifth of a series of international games, was 

 played between seven of Lord Harris' famous English team, 

 who have been visiting Australia, aided by Mr. Forbes, a late 

 Cambridge graduate, and three English-American profession- 

 als, and a selected team of six New York and five Philadel- 

 phia cricketers. It is due to Mr. Soutter of the St. Georges 

 Club, that the pilgrims consented to fill the vacancies on their 

 eleven and spare toe time from eight-seeing to visit Hoboken 

 and play against a team which was far from being a represent- 

 ative one, and one that could not be expected, after a long 

 winter, to be in practice. On the other hand, the visitors 

 were fresh from a year's constant training, which accounts 

 partly for their wonderful scores and splendid fielding. 



The weather was delightful and never did the Hoboken 

 grounds look as well. Giles, the club's professional, deserv- 

 ing great credit for having (he turf in such neat order so early 

 in the season. The inclosure, however, is too small to play a 

 match upon against such well known batting, as many balls 

 were hit out of the ground, and both bowlers and fielders 

 worked to disadvantage. 



A large number of persons visited the ground on the two 

 days on which the play was spun over ; though the actual 

 time of the match occupied only five hours and a half. If 

 the game is to continue in popularity, time must certainly be 

 economized. When a man takes a day's shooting or fishing, 

 he does the best of his work early in the day; and so it should 

 be with cricket. The spritig mornings are the most pleasant, 

 to be out of bed bowling and batting in the fresh air with a 

 good long day's sport ahead of one, and we sincerely trust 

 that the patrons of this "noble game " will see the necessity 

 of doing away with an evil which has existed and been quoted 

 long enough. 



As the full score is annexed, and our space will not admit 

 of our particularizing each individual play, we will briefly 

 state that Mr. Lucas' 98 is the largest and cleanest hit score on 

 record made in an international match in this country ; it was 

 a treat to see, and will long be remembered.

 held in the vicinity of New York. Cricket, base ball and 

 lawn tennis were all well patronized, but particularly cricket, 

 there being a turn out of over thirty players, from which 

 sides were selected. The ground, which is undoubtedly the 

 most picturesque one in the East, looked perfestly lovely. 

 About 4 p. h., Mr. Krebs, Presented the club with a full set 

 of flags of the club colors (red and yellow), as a gift from 

 the "Ladies Club for Out-Door Sporis." Mr. K. did the sub- 

 ject justice, and Mr. Stevens responded in a very nice speech, 

 and thenew flags, seven in number, were duly unfurled. X #

Bamboo Bows. — Concerning the split bamboo bows manu- 

 factured by Messrs. Conroy, Bissett & Malleson, of this city, 

 Mr. W. C. Beecher, who is well known as a skillful archer, 

 writes : 



BhooKlYN, April 22, 1S79. 

 MESSRS. CONROY, BISSETT & MALLBSON : 



Gentlemen— 1 have been much interested In testing your new bamboo 

 bow, in comparison with a number of the most powerful bows In my 

 collection. Although oanflcent that the bamboo bow would give good 

 shooting, I oonfess that I was not a little surprised at the remarkable 

 results ol my teats. The bow 1 used was six feet, and about 45 lbs. 

 pnll, yet It readily oulshot my 60-lb. EngliBh bow, which la itself a very 

 strong shooter. The same results followed in comparison with a very 

 powerfulift. South Sea bow, tnd a Japanese war bow, both of wh oh 

 were strictly business bow*. To try its endurance I first shot a num- 

 ber of Japanese 33-ln. arrows, driving them to the head, and theo. In 

 the hardihood of experiment, put my foot on the grip piece and dro^ 

 the cord nearly five feet without damage to the bow. That was about 

 as tough a test as one could well put a bow to. With anything like 

 reasonable and proper nse, the bamboo bow seems to me to bo pr»ctt- 

 cally indestructible. It is the only bow that I know of on which the 

 archer can draw Ihe good oid-fashioned " oloth yard shaft." Its endur- 

 ing qualities will be fully appreciated by any one who haa experienced 

 the annoyance of having a bow to which ho has become accustomed 

 break In his hands. Ita pull Is so smooth and even that one is at first 

 deceived sb to its power. It really seems to require less effort to pull 

 my new 501b. bamboo bow than a 451o. lancewood, or yew. Its beauly 

 of finish tpeaks for itself. For those qualities whh h especially dis- 

 tinguish a good bow— endurance, power and smoothness of pull— they 

 surpass anything that it haa been my good fortune to bai.dle. Having 

 once shot with one no lover of the bow would willingly exchange It for 

 any other. W. C. Bueohml 



—Mr. W. A. Hayward, of 212 Broadway, has a very ex- 

 tensive assortment of all binds of badges and medals for socie- 

 ties, prizes, etc. He furnishes designs and estimates, and 

 thoea dealing with him will find fullest satisfaction,
