glace for this prize, but no two Indies would agree with 

 me. Even if I should so decide, the tie would have to be 

 shot off, Ms all your ties are decided, aud the pi 

 Bel the reward 'of skill instead of grace. I might, declare 

 .' all were so graceful if was impossible for me 

 to name i! iul, but every lady would, think 

 that she could decide in a moment, only she would not 

 |"i ill who she had chosen. 



"Knowing of no better way than the most direct one, I 

 'icil thai the three ladies who have wielded their 

 weapons most, gracefully are Airs. Church, Mrs". Phillips 

 and Mi~s Sill. Mrs. Church seems to be tied with Mr. 

 Church, Mrs. Phillips with Mr. Phillips, for other prizes; 

 ties which I trust, may neither be • divided ' or 'shot 

 off,' but strengthen as the years go on. Therefore, to 

 Miss Sill, who is tied with no one, I award this prize, 

 having no doubt that the gentle gracefulness which has 

 won her tins reward will easily charm into the golden tie 

 whoever may be so blessed as to find grace in hev sight." 



Every one admired the fine tactics of the speaker, and 

 li) one could have borne off the prize who more truly de- 

 served it than the recipient. 



The shooting closed with a team shoot, at the American 

 round by gentlemen, and a team shoot at the Columbia 

 round by three ladies from one society. In the ladies' 

 contest the Battle Creek team won with a score of 693. 

 The bast individual score being made by Mrs. Church, of 

 the Crescent Bowmen, 65-319. This we consider a rare 

 score for a public match. 



The Crescent Bowmen won the first team prize for the 

 gentlemen with a score of 1,412, Mr. Farm S. DeGraff, 

 of that society, obtaining the. first individual sec . 

 closely followed by Mr. E. T. Church with 410. Mr. Will 

 H. Thompson, who shot the round at the same target 

 with the Crescent Bowmen, scored 501. 



The only instance of three golds being made at an end 

 during the meeting was by Mr. Parm S. Dctiralf, at the 

 last end at fifty yards. Much of tue pleasure of the 

 meeting is due to the care and business tact of the Pres- 

 ident, Mr, VV. T Brown and Mr. E. T. Church, of the ex- 

 ecutive committee, and Dr. Dorrance the Corresponding 

 Secretary. Mr. Church was so closely engaged, that he 

 could not give any care to his own "shooting, and con- 

 sequently fell very far below his average work. Though 

 the shooting only ceased at 7 o'clock on Thursday even- 

 ing, yet the totals were all found, the intricate prize list 

 made out and the prizes distributed early on the same 

 evening. To any one who is at all acquainted with the 

 mysteries of tin archery score sheet, this will appear a 

 wonder, particularly when the extremely varied pro- 

 gramme of the meeting is considered. The happy result, 

 was due to the perfectly arranged blanks, arranged by 

 Mr. E. T. Church, and to the skill and intelligence of 

 Mr. W. 11. Frey of the house of Richmond, Backus & Co., 

 of Detroit, who served the association in the capacity of 

 chief scorer. Ko one but an accomplished book-keeper 

 could have succeeded so well, and few would have ex- 

 hibited the patience and industry to have accomplished 

 the work. To him, as much as any one person, the plea- 

 sure of the meeting is due.

An Old Man's Blessing— The following letter has been ad- 

 dressed to a writer for this paper:— 



Holly, N. Y„ June, 1880. 



Dear Sir— 1 am an old man, seventy-seven years of age, and 

 for three or four years I have had diabetes, which kept growing 

 worse and worse. I discharged an enormous amount of water, 

 tho quantity seeming to increase week after week, and my 

 strength growing less and less, forced rae to think that I must 

 soon die, wbich I certainly should have done bad I not taken 

 Warner's Safe Diabetes Cure, which I was induced to try upon 

 recommendation of a friend who had used Warner's Safe Kidney 

 and Liver Cure, and was cured by it. I have used the Sale Dia- 

 betes Cure, it lias cured me, and I think It is the best thing in the 

 world. Yours truly, M. N. Stoduauu. 



A. I.LI,., Madison, ind.— Powder does not deteriorate with age.

Captain. - The articles on dog breaking appeared in the 

 Fouest and Stream on the followin gdates : March 18th, April 8th, 

 15th and 29th, aud May 13th. 



G ll. (.; . -The sketch you send is that of a " barkentine," If sup- 

 plied with a regular foresail on the foroyard and with a topmast 

 and topgallant rigging and short lower mast, if no foresail on 

 the foroyard, and lower mastabout as long as the main or tniazen, 

 it would be a " topsail schooner." 



G. H. E.— Sizs of boat for cruise to Florida depends upon what 

 comforts you desire. Should recommend a Boston schooner of 

 45ft., although the voyage can be made by skillful sailors in 

 smaller stoops Unless you propose sailing in the shallow waters 

 of Florida, get a deep boat, keel preferred, with ballast stowed 

 low and well secured. Snug rig only.

Traits of Florida Birds. — Editor Forest and 

 Stream.' — Now and then I come across little items which 

 I deem within the scope of your journal and interesting 

 to your readers. The latest was a scene on one of our 

 lakes — a flock of our beautiful birds. The roseate spoon 

 bills are just coming in, and knowing a favorite feeding 

 ground on the margin of Salt Luke 1 took down my gun 

 and went out to secure a specimen. When within a htm 

 dredyarclsl tiptoed, and could see over the tall grass 

 through an open space a number of our wading species 

 — egrets, herons and spoonbills. I "lowered away.'' and 

 on all fours made my way within gunshot. What a 

 scene ! Beautiful, truly charming ! On a turf, side to 

 the wind, which was blowing half a gale, stood sentinel a 

 large, snowy egret, his magnificent plumage flowing to 

 windward and reflected in the water below, while on 

 all sides the little egrets, with their little plumes curled 

 up on their backs and the topknot flowing in the wind)! 

 skipped here and there after the minnows and crayfish, 

 while the pink birds stood around busily going thrum h 

 with their toilet. Two of these, and the prettiest of Hie 

 lot, were near the "old sentinel," and now and then, j:b 

 they spread a wing, the beauty of the scene was at. i B 

 best. I could not shoot ; I wanted these three, but as 1 

 was either seen or swelled, away they went. Not satis- 

 fied with doing well, we often do worse. 



Some weeks since 1 killed a great blue heron which had 

 swallowed two moccasin snakes, one of which was over 

 two feet long and fully an inch in diameter, while the 

 smaller one was as large as a man's fori: linger. This was 

 a surprise to me, and enough to astonish any one. At 

 another time I killed one, and 1 noticed that it was tin- 

 usually heavy. In this bird 1 found a full grown mullet . 

 The fish was some three inches longer than the body of 

 the bird, and would weigh about half as much. I found 

 one in the act of "getting away" with a catfish, which 

 one might think the bird would not begin to tackle. 1
