THE GRAND NATIONAL ARCHERY MEETING. 



THE principal event in the archery season of 1880 to American 

 toxophilites is only a little more than a month ahead of us, 

 and every enterprising archer should be shaping his affairs so as 

 to be in attendance, the city of Buffalo, where the meeting is to 

 he held, is located so tar East that the greater number of con- 

 testants should come fr,,m Eastern societies, and it is to be hoped 



hat every member of those societies thus favorably situated 

 will strive to be present, and join in friendly contest with their 

 brethren of the West. Much is to be gained by any archer, 

 whether an expert or a beginner, by attending and taking a part 

 In one of these great public meetings. It is too commonly the 

 idea that one should wait until he has become a fairly good shot 

 before al tempting to shoot in public. Nothing is further from 

 truth. It is much bettor to begin by public shooting, accustom- 

 ing the nerves to the unusual strain, than to acquire a reputation 

 for good scoring first, to bo utterly broken and humiliated by the 

 necessary failure upon a first public appearance. 



None ol our American archers have had time to become ex- 

 perts. None have grown into the reliability of veterans, and the 

 attempt to name the winners of the ten first prizes at the coming 

 tournament would be worse than the solution of the fifteen block 

 puzzle. Not only would this bo difficult from the known similar- 

 ity in the scoring of many of our most successful archers, but 

 from the further fact thatnoone can estimate the different effects 

 of the surroundings of a great public meeting upon the scoring of 

 different persons. 



Every national meeting in Great Britain witnesses the curious 

 fact that several archers who usually get near 400 points at 

 Single York Round in private practice, fall below that number at 

 the Double Hound in the contest for the medal, while others e 

 exceed their pracl ice scores. In 1878, Mr. H. H. Palaiset averaged 

 Wj points at the Single York (or 888 at the Doublo York Hound) in 

 private practice, and in the etruggle for the championship at the 

 national meeting scored 933 points. In the other great public 

 match at the Crystal Palace ho scored again in excess or his 

 private practice, getting 928 points. On the contrary, Mr. Piers 

 Legh, who, during the same season, in private practice, averaged 

 B18 points at the Double Hound, only succeeded in getting 588 

 points at the national meeting. Mr. R. Walters, who stood low- 

 est, with one exception, in the second class of the English private 

 practice club, last year won the champion medal ! Such examples 

 are not exceptional ones. Tbey are almost the rule. Another 

 clement, too little lahen into consideration, largely affects the 

 prize-winning at public meetings, and that is the fact that no 

 archer can ever become so completely master of his weapons as 

 to score always up to his standard. Upon one day he will astonish 

 himself by continuous steady central shooting, making almost 

 phenomenal scores at all ranges, while upon the very next day. 

 perhaps, he cannot coax or force an arrow to touch the target 

 anywhere near the red or gold. While a national meeting may 

 occur upon one of his best days, it is just as likely to be upon one 

 of his "off" days, and though himself almost a veteran, he Is 

 forced to succumb to the "luck," as he will term it, of a mere 

 tyro, who is " making the best score of h is life." 



The first national meeting at Chicago witnessed many instances 

 of the sort ; indeed, they were the rule rather than the exception. 

 One instance, more proper for present mention than any other, 

 was the fact that a member of the Wabash Meiry Bowmen, Mr. 

 E. 0. Smith, was only induced to shoot at the national meeting by 

 the over persuasion ot the balance of his society. He had never 

 touched a bow two months before tho meeting; could not sooro 

 11)0 points at foity yards with thirty arrows in private practice, 

 and had never shot at a target at a, longer distance than sixty 

 yards. Yet he won second place oil one day at the one hundred 

 yard ranse, o Dteining the cash prize of soo over such "old relia- 

 bles" as John A. Boot, Theodore MoMeehan, U. C, Carver, Mau- 

 rice Thompson, L. L. Peddinghaus, W. B. D. Gray and all the 

 runny good shots then- competing. Another instance might be 

 noted where one archer upon one day at sixty yards scored just 

 three times as many points with thirty arrows as he had with the 

 ennr number two days previous. Of course if there were a dozen 



otionnl meetings in one season the average would bring the best 

 hots surely to the front, but no one can tell (at least in archery) 



what a day may bring forth For these and many other good 

 .easons no one should let the national meeting go by without 

 contesting for the priaes.ttol so much for their real value as for 

 the pleasure of such a contest and the many pleasant experiences 

 of the occasion. Buffalo is a pleasant place, to visit upon any 



occasion, an ; th M ' tournamem will greatly add to itsat- 



I the 13th, 14th and 15th of July. Prom assurances re- 

 reived from Western societies the attendance of Western archers 

 will be mm :tBftt .1 Chicago lust year, and the meeting 



Will be the occasion ot the formation of many now and valuable 

 acuuaintaiicesand true and lasting friendships. One whole-souled 

 whose home is several hundreds of miles west of the 



Mississippi Eiver, writes that his business is such that he " cannot 

 possibly leave it," but that he intends for once to achieve an im- 

 possibility by "utterly abandoning it and going any way." Who 

 would grudge a prize to such an archer? The cash prizes will 

 this year most probably be graded from first to twelfth, thus giv- 

 ing double the number offered last year, and the special prizes 

 will be so arranged that no archer shall win more than one spe- 

 cial prize. This will enable many archers to bear off something as 

 a trophy of the tourney, and will give much more satisfac- 

 tion than the faulty arrangement of last year, which resulted in 

 giving too many prizes to the best shots. The Double York 

 Round will be shot through by the gentlemen upon the first two 

 days (a Single York upon each day 1 , and upon the third day there 

 will be some handicap shooting. The ladies will shoot the Double 

 Columbia Bound through upon the two first days and handi- 

 caps upon the third day. The programme for the meeting will be 

 out within a fortnight, and will bs sent by the Corresponding 

 Secretary to all archers who desire a copy. An effort is now being 

 made by the writer, together with other members of the Execu- 

 tive Committee, to admit all archers to contest for all the prizes 

 of the association regardless of the question of membership. Of 

 course the Executive Committee have no power to allow the 

 national medals to be contested for by any archer who is not a 

 member, because of the constitutional provision upon that sub- 

 ject; but if the Executive Committee will admit all archers to 

 compete for the cash and special prizes no doubt many would 

 attend and take part in the meeting who would otherwise be de- 

 barred. The annual business meeting of the Association will take 

 place on Monday before the tournament begins, and it is to be 

 hoped that at that meeting the competition for the medals will 

 be also opened to all American archers. Wo are satisfied that 

 much good would result from such a course, and surely no evil 

 can spring from it. The writer has steadily advocated this idea 

 from the ineiplency of the Association, and at the last annual 

 business meeting tried most earnestly to secure such a result, and 

 he feels sure that the friends of this idea are now in the majority. 

 Let us " gather together from every land and name and tribe," 

 and make our national meeting of archers for 1880 one long to be 

 remembered by the votaries of the bow. The writer begs of each 

 archer who reads this and who is not a rnembor of any society be- 

 longing to the National Association, but who will attend and tako 

 part in the meeting if this restriction is removed, to send him his 

 orhernameatonee. _ Will H. Thompson.

Cbickjst at Toronto— The cricket jeason of 1880 may be fairly 

 said to have been commenced in Toronto on May 15th. At the 

 University grounds sides were chosen by Messrs. Totten and 

 Townsend, and the wickets looked very pretty. There were 

 oral carriages with fair occupants on the ground. Totten's side 

 went in first, and scored 98, of which Irving scored 40, made in 

 good style, with only one chance given. Totten, 18 ; Sproule, 13 ; 

 and Brown, 12. Ogden was the most dangerous opponent, and 

 he captured the majority of the wickets. Townsend's side 

 lapsed in a remarkable manner, only scoring 15, owing to the 

 good fielding of Totten's team. Dr. Spragge and Irving mado 

 some brilliant catches in the long field off Totten's slows, and the 

 fielding all round was good. 



—The Campbollford Cricket Club, of Canada, has reorganized, 

 with J. 1). Kennedy as Secretary-Treasurer.

 bers and arrange a list of games. Tho Secretary, Mr. Millward, 

 Is in correspondence with several clubs in Canada, Oswego Falls, 

 Htica and Albany, and some lively games ore. expected. 



arrest oi- Tom Dale, alias Jordan.— The misfortunes 

 which have seemed to follow the Canadian cricketers from the 

 start must have almost appeared to culminate when Trooper 

 Dale, the captain of the team, was apprehended on tho Leicester 

 grounds, England, on Wednesday, toe- having deserted eight years 

 ago from the Royal Horse Guards. Dale was iplaying under an 



assumed namo against the Leicestershire team, but was early In 



the "day recognized by a brother trooper. He was allowed to 

 finish his innings, when the doors of the Leicester "jug" are said- 

 to havo closed "on tho other side of Jordan." If we are not 

 very much miftaken, 385 days at hard labor will bo his portion. 

 Oh, where, oh, where is the Reverend T. D. ? 



Belleville (Onti) Cbickjst Clod.— This established club is now 

 in possession of one of the finest grounds In Canada. At a recent 

 meeting the following officers were elected for the season :

 Clarke, A. Bruce. 



Canadians is, West of Scotland.— The first match of the 

 Northwestern Team after their arrival was played onMay21sl. 

 and 22d at Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow, the Visitors winning by 5 

 wickets. According to the report of the match sent ns by our 

 correspondent, Jordan (Dale) was accorded tho best howler by the 

 Scotch critics, and Hardman thesnfest.bat. Jordan's 11 and 19 

 were contributed by hard "lamming," and Pinkney is said to 

 have played well. The fielding of the Canadians is described as 

 being "something too awfully bad." Kearney had the misfor- 

 tune to break his little finger in Uelding in the second innings, 

 and had to retire. Unfortunately tho crowded state of our col- 

 umns will not permit of a lengthy or detailed account of the 

 game. The score :—

Chestnut Hell ve. Staten Island— Played at Tompkinsville, 

 S. I., on May 29th, resulting in victory for the visitors by two 

 wickets. In beautiful cricketing weather, and on a very inferior 

 wicket, which had evidently not been gone over with the roller 

 to any great extent, this match was contested on Decoration Day. 

 The Hill team was a very good one, including Pearson, the old 

 professional of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, well known as a 

 very excellent and stubborn bat, and Tyres, the new professional 

 oftiieclub. Little can be said in favor of tho selection of the 

 home eleven or its handling in the field, we seldom having seen a 

 team placed in a more "go as you please " manner. The hour 

 for drawing the stumps had been agreed upon by both captains 

 to be 5.30 p.m.: but later on, when the Islanders had overtopped 

 then- adversary's score, the visiting captain requested that.au 

 hour later might be named for the closing of the game, which 

 was consented to bv the representative of the home club, and 

 his vacillation cost his side the game. Concessions, then-lore, 

 having been established, it did not surprise us to see Mr. lunian, 

 who was not on the team, take Mr. Bance's place with the gloves 



when that gentleman was unfortunately injured during ' 



otid innings. Of course, this is not the way to play cricket, and 

 the match lost aU interest to those who knew anything of the 

 game. 



Play began at 11.10 A.M., with the Staten Island at the bat, and 

 in despite that all the athletic associations wore having their 

 games, and the boating fraternity were at the Passaic Ktver wit- 

 nesslngthe regatta, yet the attendance was a very good one. 

 Tyres and Blddle handled the ball for Chestnut Hill, and Outer 

 bridge was the only batsman that succeeded in getting it. away 

 for double figures, the innings closing for 50 runs. Small as this 

 total was, the visitors did not do as well, both Lane an 

 being well on the spot. Certainly tho former is ono of the best 

 bowlers in America, and if anything, in bettor trim than last . 

 season. Forty-one was all the tins could show when the lust 

 wicket tell. To inspire the elevens to greater Heeds tin 

 bell was rung, and some fifty to sixty players, members and 

 guests, were invited to take a birds-eye \ iew of a round ot ratal 

 beef about Ihe size of a cricket-ball, and a leg of lami. 

 larger than a bail. But there was loaf bread and cheese, «-i.en
