ARCHERY. 
HIGHLAND PARK ARCHERY CLUR. 
July 28th, 1870. 
Editor Forest and Stream .- — 
When one has had a pleasant experience it is natural 
that he should imagine that every one else would be 
pleased to hear about it, aud he is prone to become loqua- 
cious upon the subject. To the lover of archery a visit to 
the grounds of a first class club, and the privilege of par¬ 
ticipating in their practice, and of receiving t heir hospi¬ 
tality, is one of the choicest blessings of archery. Having 
enjoyed such a visit with rare relish after a long term oi 
severe work, I beg the reader to bear with me while I 
babble about some of the events of my visit. 
Most of the readers of the Forest and Stream have 
heard of the “Highland Fark Archers,’' one of the oldest 
and best societies in America. Among them, in the beau¬ 
tiful village of Highland Park on the shore of Lake Michi¬ 
gan, twenty-two miles north of Chicago, I passed the 
“ White day ” of my archer life for 1879. 
Having passed several days in Chicago, in Committee 
work for the furtherance of the cause of the National meet¬ 
ing to be held there in August, I gave myself into the hands 
of Mr. II. C. Carver, the Corresponding Secretary of the 
Association, aud by hi.- A .. .-1 aj . . ., 
pleasure it is possible to crowd into one day. Daring the 
afternoon of the 25th of July the gentlemen of the H. 
P. Archers’’and myself shot the Single York Round at 
two targets over the fine range at Mr. Carver's residence, 
and some very creditable scores were made. Several mem¬ 
bers of the club did not shoot, and several only a portion 
of the round, and I am unable to give the scores, i only 
remember that of Dr. Weston, who made the leading 
score as follows: hundred yards, 83 ; eighty yards, 103; 
sixty yards, 80; total, 268, The Dr. claimed this as his 
best round, but it will not long remain his bast if his siy ie 
of shooting continues improving as rapidly as it has since 
I saw h im shoot in June. Among the gentlemen who 
made high scores were Mr. Henry C. Carver, Win. Ford. 
P. Hall, Mr. W. B. D. Gray, Mr. Win. 31, Goodridgc, and 
Mi-. C. G. Hammond of v.. - 
3Ir. John Wilkison of “ The North Side Archery Club” of 
Chicago. The latter gciit!,-i. . n 
shooting done at eighty and one hundred yards. He has 
only attempted archery since last May, and had never be¬ 
fore made a shot at a target at longer than sixty yards 
range. The flight of his arrows was most benutitul, aiul 
extremely low considering that he uses a thirty-eight 
pound bow. The bow, however, is a very extraordinary 
one for the smoothness aud quickness of its spring ; a 
Spanish Yew of a very fine wood. The “ Highland Park 
Team ” composed of Mr. Henry C. Carver, Mr. Ford P. 
Hall, Mr. W. B. D. Gray aud Dr. Weston, is one of the 
strongest in the Association, and the team which intends 
to take first place at the August Meeting will have a 
splendid contest with this team. They will require the 
winning team to score sixteen hundred at tha American 
Round: About six o’clock P, M. Mrs. Henry C. Carver 
kindly took me in her carriage to the residence of Mrs. 
Wrenn, where we found several of the lady archers assem¬ 
bled before a clean new target in the shade of the fine 
trees, Onlythree of tbe ladieswere armed,however, and 
of these three I only preserved the scores of two. The 
distance was thirty yards, and from the twenty-four 
arrows shot the following scores were made. Miss Janie 
Street, 24 hits, 108 score. Mrs. Henry C. Carver, 20 hits, 
100 score. This is very fine shooting,' but I was informed 
that Miss Street had on the same afternoon scored 135 
with the same number of arrows at the same range. I do 
r.o; know of this score being exceeded in America but 
ore?, and then only by one point. Mrs. Nichol Halsey, 
who v? score I did not preserve, was engaged in experiment- 
n r to obra. n a better style of drawing, rapidly accommo¬ 
date i position and drew to my direction, and I was very 
g a 1 to see one who is the imp ?] Bonification of grace and 
e'e m c , so easily adapt herself to tile difficult attitude and 
movement and correct *• draw ” in archery. I i eidily dis¬ 
covered that she possessed the three most valuable quali¬ 
ties of a good archer ; patience, good nerve, and a desire 
to bo criticised. She has hitherto achieved some fine 
scoring, and when she has thoroughly overcome the nov¬ 
elty of the different style of shooting which she has as¬ 
sumed. no doubt can be entertained of the accuracy as 
well as grace of her shooting. Miss Street has naturally 
found a fine position, and draws and looses her arrows 
with the utmost ease. She used a twenty-four pound 
bow and so perfectly is it under hex command, that she 
shot the score above given after sbe had shot tteo hundred 
ami thirty arrows on the same afternoon. Thisisa mar¬ 
velous exhibition of nerve for one who is apparently far 
from strong, ttho shoots with perfect ease and imperturb¬ 
able coolneSs, and is an adversary to be dreaded on the 
tar get field. 1 ter scoring at the National Meeting will be 
very high. Miss Hattie Dennison shot a few arrows of 
which no score was kept, but nearly all of which found 
the middle of the target. She is one of the finest shots 
in the club, and, like Sliss Street, she seems to have fallen 
naturally into a fine position, and shoots with great ease 
and force. Sixty yards is readily under the command of 
her bow, and while she has had very little practice she 
scores finely, several times having passed one hundred 
points with twenty-four shots at thirty yards. Among 
the persous gathered to witness the sliooting, I had the 
pleasure, of meeting Mrs. Wrenn, the Hon. W. A. James, 
Speaker of the House, of Representatives of Il l in ois, and 
ius accomplished wife ; the Rev. G. L. Wrenn, and Mr. 
George Hall. The latter gentleman has unfortunately 
lost ins left arm, and being fascinated with archery, has 
experimented with drawing a bow while holding it with 
his feet, aud has actually succeeded in thus making some 
line- scores. At our request he shot a few arrows at thirty 
yards, striking the target with eveiy one. If one under 
such difficulties can learn to shoot, who in the possession 
of all his or her powers, shall say “I cannot learn?” 
And how fascinating a mistress must archery be to thus 
allure her lover over such an obstruction? Being com¬ 
pelled to return to Chicago at 9:30 A. 31. on the next day, 
the ladies kindly assembled at the residence of Mr. Henry 
C. Carver at eight o’clock the next morning, (how great a 
self denial to meet so early) and shot a score at forty 
cards. I was compelled to Dave before the shooting was 
ov, r, but the scoring was very fine. 3Irs. Carver, who 
shoots with a most “ taking” style, leading in the score 
at this range. Some very fine shooting was done by 31rs. 
Goodridge and 3Iiss Polsen, but ea :h of them was called 
away from tha grounds before the shooting was conclud¬ 
ed. Mr. Elisha Gray, the inventor of the telephone is 
president of the club, and Mrs. Gray is one of the most 
enthusiastic members. Mrs. Swartout, the Lady Para¬ 
mount. Mrs. W. S. Lasher and Mrs. Weston, I did not 
meet at the targets, but I heard much of then- skill from 
other members of tbe club. Even the younger people 
h tvebt'com : meffectod with the contagion of archery, and 
Miss Grade Hammond, who is only twelve years of age, 
has become a very expert archer, vieing with the older 
ones, and taking a high place in the score lists. Even my 
little friend. Master Winnie Carver wields the bow with 
great skill, having passed one hundred points with twen- 
ty-four arrows at thirty yards. I rejoice to see our most 
refined and cultured ladies adopting archery as their out¬ 
door past fine. No exercise so displays their gracefulness 
or so develops that fine nerve and springiness that is the 
richer t- dower of beauty. The world cannot produce a 
picture so perfect or entrancing as a beautiful lady stand¬ 
ing before the gaily painted face of a new target on the 
lawn of her old home : about her the “ shadow of great 
trees and color of glad grass,” her springy bow drawn 
back till it curves liko a wand of willow, the whole form 
dibit xl with joy. the faintest blushes of pink flocking up 
to the eager face, made splendid by the glad and lumi¬ 
nous eyes. No one who has ever seen such a vision will 
deny its surpassing beauty. Tlio Public Tournaments of 
of the British archer draw together the finest crowds of 
spectators of any class of outdoor exhibitions in the Isles, 
and the National Meeting on the 12th, 13th and 14th of 
August, at Chicago, will be witnessed by the largest as-, 
seniblage of the refined and polished element of Chicago 
rociet r ever drawn together, aud it is needless to add that 
the fact that the ladies are to participate in the shooting 
wifi be the chief attraction. They will be the loadstars 
of the meeting. The English ladies have so thoroughly 
mustered the bow that their scoring at fifty and sixty 
yards is much better than that of the gentlemen at the 
j same ranges, and now that the American lady, strong- of 
purpose, persistent and patient, has bent her intelligence 
to the subjugation, of the refractory bow, we shall see new 
wonders performed with it ere many years, for when she 
has se t her mind and heart upon the accomplishment of 
q purpose, 
“ Wlint shall charm or force 
Her spirit From its destined course l"
