FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Septemher 3, 1880, 



tlrety appeared In the records of all the metnters of the society, 

 and h«9 sirce continued. As It thus conclusively appenrs that 

 the merahers of the Privflte Practice Club hare heen, by their at- 

 tachment to the clnb, drawn to love and practice the loni; ranges 

 BDd necessarily to keep a true record of every arrow shot, the 

 question is pertinent "What proof appears that they have ad- 

 vanced more than archers who have pursued a different course"'" 

 The Grand National Meeting at Ruffalo gave most convincing 

 evidence that with rare exceptions the general advance of archers 

 throughout the country has not kept pace with that of the mem- 

 bers of this society. At that meeting, out of the n liiv licet scores 

 recorded, 12 wore opposite the names of members of the Private 

 Practice Club. Araone: the IS lowest scores can be found only two 

 names of members, and one of these shot only half the number 

 of arrows. Could there be a stronger argument advanced of the 

 wonderful advantage to be derived from membership? 



Not that the other members of the society can aid the indirid- 

 ual, but that his honoris bound to a certain method of practice 

 which neccKsitates improvement. How strikingly the theory 

 that practice at lone- ranges will assist the archer at short range 

 was exeinpimed in the team shoot. The team winning first place 

 was composed of 4 members of the P. P. C. The highest score at 

 both 50 yards and 40 yards was made by a member of the P. P. C. 

 who bad shot only 3 scores at 40 or 50 yards in the year 1880. 



Reversing the system, let us ask the advocate of .short range 

 practice if it would be possible for an archer who had been shoot- 

 ing only at 40 and 50 yards for one year, or for a lifetime, to ac- 

 complish a like result at a public meeting at 100 yards and 80 

 yards? 



We have said that a characteristic of the good ai-cher is to de- 

 sire to attend and take part in our BTnat public meetings. The 

 founders of the P. P. C. lielieved that its members would naturally 

 be attracted toward the National meetings, and the result has 

 proved that tliov were right. Of the 31 members belonging to 

 the club at the date of the National meeting, 14, almost one half, 

 attended and took iiart in the tourney. Of those who did not at- 

 tend 4 were sick and 3 beyond the Becky Mountains. The 6 

 gentlemen who traveled the greatest distances to attend themeet- 

 Inp were all members. 



It 15 iniiifcessary to multiply evidences of the fact that 

 the club liJis been a powerful aid to the National Association 

 and to iirc'lu'i-j- geiioTafl v, as well as to its members, by inducing a 

 strong fraternal attachment among the members, which served 

 to draw many of them to meet and compete with their classmates 

 at. the National meeting. 



ITiere being no real ob.ipption which can be urged against the 

 "theory iiiid practice" of the Pn%'ate Practice Club, there is usu- 

 ally but one nt.ipcrion offered by archers why they do not attach 

 themselves, and that 'is the necessity of keeping and preserving 

 all his scores. 



That this one thing has more than almost anything else to do 

 with his improvement the archer will sooner or later find out, and 

 we hazard the declaration that the archer does not live who will 

 not overestimate his ahilifv unless he haspreseri'ed all his scores. 



One ob.ipction made again.st the club by certain archers was the 

 fact that the dub offered cash prizes. This objection was removed 

 by the change made in the eonstit\ition at the business meeting 

 held at Buffalo when such prizes were abolished. While no mem- 

 ber objected to the abolition of cash prizes, and while a great 

 pressure was liTought to bear upon the National Association to 

 inrluee it to abolish cash prizes, it is a curious fact that out of 

 thirty tiirei^ gentlemen who attended the national meeting and 

 shot the Do\ible York Bound through, twenty-six shot in the sub- 

 scription hsmdicap. and three other gentlemen, to our own knowl- 

 edse. Mr. Pcddinshaus. Mr. Burnham and Mr. Booe, were in favor 

 of cash prizes, and failed to .shoot in the handicap only because 

 they were very tired, and preserved themselves for the team 

 shoot. So it would appear that opposition to cash prizes is only 

 madoby a few persons, and they such archers as do not expend 

 the time and money necessary to attend our great public meet- 

 ings- Of course there are exceptions, as we met two gentlemen 

 shooting throughout the meeting who were opposed to cash 

 prizes. But at any rate the Private Practice Club, out of its sin- 

 cere desire to do good to as many archers as possible, removed 

 this liar to the .idmission of the opponents of such prizes, and we 

 shall expect to see the club enlarged from their ranks. There- 

 clBBSifleation of mem.bers to be made by the Secretary, as pro- 

 vided by the amended constitution, will make the practice of 

 members much more pleasant, as archers will now compete in 

 clsBses wbcrii the members are more nearly upon an equality. 

 ITbe amendment to the constitution required the Secretary to 

 place memiicrs of like average skill in the same classes, so as to 

 give as ne.uly as possible an equal number of members to each 

 class, and he Ira.a done =n to the best of his power, though in en- 

 deavoring to do ?o he has found it necessary to give class III. a 

 few more members than either of the other two classes. There 

 are many goofi reasons why the third class should be the larger 

 one, if equality of members is not attainable. Archers shoot 

 more regularly who shoot well, and almost all new applicants for 

 admis=ion desire place in the third class. After much comparison 

 of recorrls and takiua- into consideration the scoring of each 

 archer at each r.ange, the secretary has re-elasslfied the club as 

 follows :-

No doubt the clas-sification is faulty, and there are one or two 

 members In the second class who would do honor to the first, and 

 some in class TIT. whose rightful position would be in the second 

 grade, hut no division could be perfectly fair, and these errors 

 of place occurred in several cases from the fact that the archere 

 failed to return the scores for April, May and .Tune. 



(TO CONOLITBK NEXT WEEK.l 



New Jbbsev.— iVeu! York, Aug. 20(7i.— Below you will find a 

 rough draft of the archery match to take place at Waverly Park, 

 N. J., during the twenty-second annual fair of the State Agricul- 

 tural Society. The soeietv will pro lade liberal prizes, and as the 

 tinti'flnee fee is low, viz.. $1, It is to be hoped that the arohers in 

 this vicinity will turn out strong and give good encouragement 

 to the manatfers, who are trying to totroduoe this noble pastime 



to the public. Wednesday, Sept. 23d, 10 a.m., match for the New 

 Jersey State championship, open to residents of the State only; 

 gociety's gold medal and other prizes: single American round.
