Robin Hood Archery Ci-tjb.— The Robin Hood Archery 

 Club celebrated the Fourth with a prize meeting in the after- 

 noon and a display of fireworks in the evening. The shoot- 

 ing commenced at 5 P. m., but as the weather looked threat- 

 ening the lady members were rather adverse to proceeding 

 with the sport. The Robin Hood called the gentlemen archers 

 together at the " white ting," or fifty yard range, and opened 

 the match. From the first flight of arrows there were very 

 responding thugs on the face of the targets. la fact the 

 records of the 25 arrows shot by each archer prily rolled up a 

 score of 17 as the highest to anyone of them, which was to be 

 accounted for from the fact that the shots were made too rapid- 

 ly, in their efforts to finish before the approaching storm 

 Bhould burst upon them, and on account of a very strong 

 wind blowing directly across their range. After the gentle- 

 men had completed the shooting at 50 yards the ladies put a 

 claim as to their right to shoot, and the Robin Hood ttssem- 

 bled the archers at the "gold flag," or ladies' range (30 yds.). 

 The ladies started with a telling flight of arrows, but the 

 storm cloud burst aud the rain came down in torrents, the 

 wind blowing a young gale. There was a general stampede 

 for the house of the Lady Paramount, which adjoins the 

 grounds of the club. As there seemed to be no possibility 

 of a cessation of hostilities on the part of the storm king the 

 prize meeting was adjourned to the next day, Saturday, at 5 

 p. M. sharp. The members and their invited guests made 

 themselves comfortable, forming groups of congenial spirits 

 to await the abating of the shower and the display of fire 

 works. At 7:30 refreshments were served, and some of the 

 gentlemen members eueeeeded m making a jrood record, es- 

 pecially on the ice cream, at eh . . ., ad, At about 



8:30 the rain ceased falling and the fireworks were put in 

 motion. The display was opened with a flight of a large 

 rocket, and iu rapid succession followed bauer^, mines, blue, 

 red and green lights, bengolas, ! garden 



pieces in almost endless variety. Th< . i, : n great 



success in spite of the rain, and " , ,. T time" 



when the last archer badi hi Saturday 



at the adjourned meet j- :-■. 'clock p. 



m. The weather was delightfully cu not have 



been better if it had tK £ shooting 



was over the 30 and 40-yard ranges at bur thirty. six inch 

 targets. The scores made were fail-. leing two 



arrows of gold iu the shape Of a pin, given as a badge of 

 honor as best shot. In addition there was for the ladies a 

 beautifully finished quiver, and for the gentlemen an arrow. 

 The score of the winners stood as follows :

Wisoonsin— Oamomowoc, June 7.— We send you a few of 

 the best scores of two of the members of the Chicago Archery 

 Association, who for the past week have made the woods of 

 this lovely summer resort resound for the first time to the 

 twang of the English bowstring :

American Bows vs. English Bovrs.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: One great drawback to archery is the high price of 

 the best English bows. This, however, is being rapidly over- 

 come by American makers. Several of these — and notably 

 Mr. Horsman* — are turning out most excellent weapons, both 

 bows and arrows. No doubt a good self-yew is the best pos- 

 sible bow ; but a snakewood, backed with lance or hickory, 

 or a lance backed with the same, may be relied upon for excel- 

 lent results. I have iu my collection of fine bows a yew, 

 made by Mr. Aldred, of London, a self-snake by Highfield, 

 and two snake backed with lance, and one bullet-woodToacked 

 with lance, by Horsman, of New York. I rank the yew 

 above all of them for steady, fine work ; but no hard wood 

 bow of any maker is better than those by Mr. Horsman, and, 

 of course, yew hows cannot be owned by many archers. I 

 have prevailed upon this gentleman to attempt to make a yew 

 bow, and have ordered some two or three, with confidence 

 that they will be as good as any English bow. I can see no 

 reason why we should not make our own bows, and after 

 awhile, when some of our cool-headed and steady-handed 

 athletes have trained in the York Round, beat, the English in 

 an international shoot. Mauhhie Thompson. 



UraiofordstiiUe, J/,<l, July 4. 



* AIbo Conroy, Biasett & Malleson.— Ed. 



July is a close inontli for game, except as to woodcock, in certain 

 States. 



tw New York Law.— Ttie open season for woodcock in New York 

 State begins August 1, throughout the State. 



New Jbesby Woodcock Shooting.— The alteration of the 

 New York woodcock open season has had the effect of draw- 

 ing great hordes of gunners into New Jersey. That State 

 needs a non-resident law. 



New Hampshire.— Warner, July 8.— Woodcock appear 

 to be quite plenty, but we are sadly in want of good dogs. 



M. C. H. 



Long Island— Good Ground, July 12. — Bay birds have 

 commenced to fly, and it looks as though we were going to 

 have a good season. We have had a good flight to-day ; 

 George, my son, got a good bag and was home at the house 

 i:. 1 think if you will come down any time now 

 you will stand a good chance to get some first-class shooting. 

 Our Inlet continues open and the bay is in first-class condition 

 for sailing aud shooting. Wm. N. IjAnb. 



Ohio— Taungstown, July 8.— H. Wick and B. Miller suc- 

 ceded in baggiug 23 woodcock on July 4 ; D. Jones and J. 

 Pudge bagged 18 the same day. P. Gaituer, of Flint Hill, 

 killed 14 out of 16 shot at, on July 5. Gaither is one of the 

 best wing shots in this vicinity. Several other parties were 

 out shooting woodcock on the 4th, but with what success I 

 am unable to learn, owing to the fact that they always wait 

 until they have heard of the largest bag made and then go it 

 one better. Buckets Boy. 



Ohio— Hudson, July 7. —The Fourth has come and gone, 

 and with it came the open season for woodcock shooting, and 

 that is the signal call for all the hunters iu the land to go 

 forth to the slaughter. The birds are plentiful and strong of 

 wing for summer. The days are hot and dry, so the btrd3 

 have left the open far the thick and tangled swamps, which 

 are almost impassable for man or dog ; but a number of good 

 bags are reported. A party q( three report 29, another of 

 two report 27 woodcock and 3 or 4 pigeons, a party of two 

 report I8j another 12, and single persons report from 4 to 10. 

 There will be woodcock shooting for three or four weeks, 

 when ,thcy retire to moult, aud rest until fall, when they ap- 



pear in the tall corn of the bottom lands, large, fat and hand- 

 some birds and strong of wing. Buokeyji. 



Illinois. — Excellent prairie chicken (pinnated grouse) 

 shooting may be found at Rankin, 111. Sportsmen who may 

 apply to Mr. Rankin there will be shown first-rate sport, pro- 

 vided they go as gentlemen who. are seeking pleasure. 



Indiana Quail and Woodcock.— Few spots in this coun- 

 try afford better quail and woodcock shootingthan the country 

 about Fort Wayne, Ind., if one knows just where to go for the 

 birds. There is a market hunter named Frost living there, 

 formerly an English poacher, who knows every foot of the 

 country, and can show the stranger rare fun. Roanoke, Ind., 

 and the region about, offer unusually good opportunitias to 

 bring down the swift flyers. October is the time to go. 



The New Fireworks.— Capt. A. H. Bogardus gives an 

 exhibition of his new patent fireworks on the CohimUa this 

 evening. The steamer leaves Pier 2, E. R., at 8 o'clock, go- 

 ing down to Coney Island, whence a fine spectacle will be 



wituessed.
