English Kennel Cltjb Field Trials.— The report of 

 the National Spring Meeting, held on April 27th, 38th, 

 90th and 30th, has been unavoidably crowded out of the 

 last two issues, on account of the unusually full and 

 complete description of the New York Bench Show. 

 » 



Dogs at Auction. — About sixty dogs were offered for 

 sale at auction, on Friday of last week, at the mart of 

 Messrs. Baker & Son, Broadway and Thirty-ninth street, 

 in this city, Some of the animals present had been ex- 

 hibited at the Bench Show, but the majority of them 

 were tolerably good-looking mongrels of the non-sport- 

 ing classes, below the show standards, The prices paid 

 for those actually sold (as some lots were merely bid in) 

 were, in most cases, low, although a few of the finer- 

 looking animals bearing some resemblance to Llewellyn 

 setters, Newfoundlands, etc., brought fair prices. A few 

 private sales were also effected.

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF AIMING. 



MR. MAURICE THOMPSON, 

 Thompson, have prepared a 

 I heir manual, '■ How to Train in A 

 modt complete handbook on the subject -published in America, 

 We may go farther than this, and say t hat for one who wlBbi 

 perteet himself in bow shooting, Ihisbooli is the most concise, 

 ample ana intelligible work m this whole literature of archery. 

 (Vo heartily commend 11 tq novices, amateurs ami experienced 

 archers : it Is a text-book which no one can afford to be without 



The noticeable additions to the boot are the obapti 

 iugand the Digest, which must have been compiled at great labor, 

 of all the especially notable archery gems of English and Anier- 

 can bowmen, from an early date to ihe present time. This chap- 

 or also contains a complete list of all the English National meet- 



ings from 1814 to 1870, with the names of champions atid thei 

 ning scores 



A portion of the chapter on Aiming wo have been permitted to 

 publish here. For the complete essay wo must refer our readers 

 to the book itself :— 



"Mr. Horace A. Ford, the celebrated English archer, wroto a 

 great deal in regard to the practical parts of his favorite pastime ; 

 but his system of aiming is the only really valuable addition to 

 archery knowledge contained in his book. For target practice 

 at the ranges of tho York Round, no Improvement can ever be 

 made to his system. It Is simply perfect as a theory, and its ac- 

 curacy in practice has been demonstrated, not alone by his own 

 incomparable shooting, but alBO by the grand scores of Holmes, 

 Bramhall, Spottiswoode and Paiairet in England, and by the best 

 archers of America. 



"No archer who neglects to completely master Ihe theory of 

 aiming can ever pass mediocrity in the uso of his tacklo. Aiming 

 is, in fact, just as indispensible to the archer as to the rifleman, 

 and the aiming must be just as carefully and correctly dono in 

 bow shooting as in rifle shooting. Why? First : to secure a uni- 

 form method of shooting. Second: because it is tho only guide 

 to keeping both the line and the elevation. 



"If the merest tyro in archery will but reflect a moment, it 

 cannot fail to occur to him that the one great drawback to accu- 

 rate bow shootine is the seeming impossibility of getting any 

 aim with an arrow- The first question he will ask is : 'How can 

 I lake sight?' This question is tho most important ono in 

 archery, and also tho most difficult to answer. However, tho 

 reader need but to give caref ui attention to the following pages 

 to acquire all that can bo imparted by words touching Ford's 

 theory and practice of aiming, as we have taken it from his book, 

 and as we have proved It at the targets with scoros socond only to 

 his very best. 



" The first principle of aiming is to be sure to havo the arrow, 

 in drawing, direotly under the right eye and lying directly in the 

 line of vision of that eye ns it looks at the point of aim." To do 

 this perfectly, observe the following directions:— 



"I.— Take position and knock tho arrow as heretofore de- 

 scribed. 



" It.— Raise the bow with the loft hand, drawing back tho 

 string with the right hand as the bow Is lifted. 



" III— When the left hand has reached Ihe dueelevation fortho 

 shot, take aim with the rtght eye (without closing the left eye) 

 over lite point of the arrow. 



" IV.— The aim being thus taken, finish the draw by bringing 

 the right hand to a point just below tho chin, and there loose. 



" If the above rules aro strictly followed, and the arrow, from 

 the fixing of the aim to tho point of loosing, has been all Ihe 

 time kept under the right eye, the shot will be in the direct 

 line of the vision of that eye. The reason -why it must bo in- 

 sisted upon that the entire length of the arrow bo all tho time 

 kept exactly under the aiming eye, may be thus explained: 

 Your aim being taken oyer the point of your arrow in tho lino 

 in which you desire to shoot, it is plain that if tho nock end of 

 your arrow be either to the right or the left of your line of vis- 

 ion, your missile's flight will be at an angle to that line, and con- 

 sequently will bo bad. In other words your right eyo looks along 

 a straight line to your point of aim. 



" This line of sight lies in tho vertical plane of tho trajectory 

 of your shot. To make your arrow keep in this plane, It must be 

 started in this plane. To start it: in this plane it must bo drawn 

 and loosed with its entiro length lying therein, which can only be 

 when it is kept directly under tho aiming eye. To physically 

 demonstrate this important principle, suppose a string stretched 

 straight from the eye to the point of aim. Tho object is to 

 keep the flight of the arrow in the vortical piauo of this supposed 

 string, which can only be done by keeping the nock as well as the 

 point directly in (ho line of the vision of the aiming eye. Hence 

 the proper point to loose or quit the string and let go tho arrow 

 is just below tho chin directly under the right eye. 



"In following this practice of aiming, the upper limb of tho 

 bow must bo Slanted to the right sullieicnlly to carry the how- 

 string entirely out of the vertical plane of vision of the right eye, 

 otherwise two troubles will arise. In the first place, the string 

 will be between the eyo and the arrow; and secondly, the string 

 will touch the chin beforo the draw is finished to the loosing 

 point. When the bow is slanted to the right the arrow can lie 

 directly under the eye, while tho string is drawn to tbu loosing- 

 point under the chin, and -when let go, the arrow will fly di- 

 rectly away before the eye in a perfect line. 



" Before a beginner in arobery can successfully practice aim- 

 ing on correct principles, he must fully understand the laws of 

 vision connected therewith. By fixing tho eyes steadily upon 

 some distant point, it will be discovered that this particular point 

 is seen by direct vision, am] all others by Indirect vision. Now, 

 in aiming, the direct vision is fixed upon the point of aim, and the 

 pile of tho arrow is made 1o cover this point; but the gold oi the 

 target and tho entire length of the arrow are Been by Indirect vis- 

 ion, except whon tho gold, as in point-blank shooting, is also the 

 point of aim. 



"Tho first thing then to master, i» perfect control of the vision 

 of the right eyo. To do this, some archers are compelled to close 

 the left eye, a very ill appearing thing Indeed, which should by 

 all means bo avoided. To test your vision take an arrow by the 

 feathered end, and hold it in tho right hand pointing it at some 

 distant object, keeping both eyes open. When the point of the 

 arrow seems to cover the objeet, close tho left eyo. If then the 

 object is still covered, you are aiming with your right eye. A 

 little practice in this way wlU perfect your vision so that you 

 can aim with your right eye and at the same time keep the left, 

 one open*' 1 



The author then discusses the point-blank range, and the aim 

 When the point of aim is above the gold. The book may be 

 procured of E. I. Horsman, New York.

for one ol the iluhs thai received a challenge from the above

 at tho time, thai the team opposed to them should he 1 101 



ladies and four gentlemen, ami all should be members of

 ever heard anything further regarding the match, and

 Since the acceptance of the above challenge, as you aro aware, 

 the Sew York Club has put itself on record as opposed 10 loams 

 composed of any but its own members, and will never place a 

 team in contest with such a make-up. Jas. W. Atjten, Jr., 

 Secretary New York Archery Club. 



Monday evening last the club gave a concert at the armory of 

 the Fifth Regiment, where some ft vo hundred of the friends of 

 the members assembled and listened to a choice selection of ring- 

 ing, reading, etc., and from tho hearty applause and frequent en-* 

 cores we are sure all spent an enjoyable evening. 



We trust the New York Club will again bring talent together 

 for their friends' amusement, and we heartily recommend the 

 club's endeavors to increase the interest among its members by 

 introducing social enjoyments from time to lime, as they havo 

 done during the past winter.
