FOREST AND STREAM, 
present day. Now, instead of striking a copper cent 
every shot at even twenty yards, no Indian or white man 
has ever lived who could strike an eight inch circle every 
time at that distance with an arrow, and ■ such a circle 
contains about one hundred and fifty times the area of a 
cent piece. Not only do we continually hear this Indian 
fable repeated, but we are vexed with the endless babble 
about how well “ I could shoot when I was a boy !how 
“ I used to kill birds at forty yards, almost every shot! ” 
Tet he never saw the day when he could hit a bird at 
twenty feet one Bhot out of fifty. He doubtless did, in 
fact, stand under the low spreading branches of his 
father's cherry tree, and shoot up at the red heads as they 
came to steal the cherries, missing fifty shots at six feet 
distance, to where one bird was struck. He knows all 
this, he well remembers all the particulars, but he stands 
up before you with serious face, and innocent, truthful 
looking eyes, and avers that he could then shoot much 
better than you can now, though you are putting four ar¬ 
rows out of'five into your four feet target at sixty yards. 
He even imagines that he can beat you now, and takes 
your bow and one of your arrows and faces square front 
to the target ! He holds the bow horizontally, draws 
feebly with his thumb and forefinger, flirts the arrow 
about one-third of the way to the target by a sort of toss 
of the how, and subsides. ’ If you put six straight shots 
iuto the blue and red rings, he’ does not think much of it, 
hut if you miss with four, and put two in the gold, he 
cheers you lustily. He is an unbearable nuisance and 
should be suppressed. To show the utter fallacy of all 
those idle tales would require a volume, but even when 
all of them were refuted the curious fact would still re¬ 
main that men, otherwise truthful, would still relate the 
marvelous tales of the Indian and his little bow.

United States vs. Canada. —Both teams are now 
selected, and both are unquestionably weak. The Ameri¬ 
can team is by no means representative, and we learn 
from the best authority in Canada that the same is true 
of the Canadian eleven. The difficulty of picking out 
the best players has always been a stumbling block in 
the way of the international match. It exists to-day as 
it did many years ago, and it was this that caused the 
St. George’s Club to resolve the match to inter-club 
games. The selecting powers seem to feel it their duty 
to give every club representation, in a laudable desire to 
tickle everyone under the small rib, and while doing th is 
they tread, so to speak, on the toesjof the game. We 
believe in the best inen being sent to the fore, whether 
they are “ Roosian, French, or Turk, or Proosian, or, per¬ 
haps, 1 1-tal-i-an 1” and fortunate it is for the club that 
can furnish the most. It is the player, not the man with 
the pocket book, that should represent his side in these 
games, and in the future we trust to see this looked after. 
And now good luck to both sides, and may the best team 
win. We have arranged to have a full account of this 
match reported by one of the best cricket writers in 
Canada ; it will appear in our number of^August 28. 
Syracuse Chicket Tournament. —Monday, July 21.— 
Onondagas vs. Oswego Falls.—The three days’ tourna¬ 
ment arranged by the Onandaga Club of Syracuse was 
brought to a successful termination on the 23d ult. The 
President of the Onondaga Club, Major Alexander H. 
Davis, donated a handsome silver cup, value $50.00 for 
competition. The following were the competing clubs :— 
Utica, Oswego, Oswego Falls, and the Onondagas of 
Syracuse. The Oswego Falls Club had but recently de¬ 
feated the Onondagas, and the chances for taking the 
cup were considered good. Notwithstanding their de¬ 
feat the Onondagas decided to meet the Oswego Falls 
players first in the tournament. This they did on Mon¬ 
day the 21st. Oswego Falls won the toss and took first 
innings, scoring 42 runs. Of this number Mr. Miles 
v.llia scored 19 by real good«play. The Onondagas in 
their first innings scored 56, being 14 more than their op¬ 
ponents. No double figures were scored, but every bats¬ 
man made runs. The’Second innings of Oswego Falls 
lasted but a short time, the bowling of Milward and 
Newick, backed up by good fielding all round prevented 
any stand being made, the whole team being disposed of 
for 21 runs. The Onondagas, with 8 runs to get, won the 
match, with 7 wickets to spare. 
Tuesday 22d.—Utica vs. Oswego.—On Tuesday Utica 
and Oswego met. Ur. Clark, Captain of the Utica Club, 
won the toss, and took first innings, which closed for 35 
runs. Oswego followed, making 55. In the second in¬ 
nings Utica scored 49, leaving the Oswegos 30 to win. 
The first two wickets fell for 16 runs, which made mat¬ 
ters look well for Oswego,'hut their next 5 wickets fell for 
5 runs leaving the two last men to score 9 to win. The 
Oswego captain at this time refused to send in another 
man owing to a slight rain which had been falling 
throughout the innings. The umpire, after waiting the 
usual time, gave the game to Utica. Oswego batted with 
but 10 men. 
Wednesday, July 23d.—'Utioas vs. Onondagas.—On 
Wednesday the deciding game was playad between the 
Onondagas and Uticas. Utica winning the toss, took 
first innings, scoring 27 rams only. The bowling and 
fielding of the Onondagas was good all round. The 
Onondagas in their first innings scored 49 runs ; Millward 
by some fine batting scored 25. Utica in their second 
innings tried hard to turn the tide, but the bowling of 
Millward and Newick for the Onondagas was too good 
for large scoring, no less than 195 balls being howled for 
the total of 34 runs, leaving the Onondagas 13 to win, 
winch they obtained without the loss of a wicket, win¬ 
ning the match with 10 wickets to spare. The Onondaga 
club achieved a well-earned victory in the tournament, 
and great credit is due to their Secretary and Captain, 
Mr. 0. H. Millward, who was instrumental in arranging 
and successfully carrying through the first tournament 
ever held in central New York. The Onondagas hold the 
prize cup for one year, when it will be again offered for 
competition. Mr. Flint of Rochester and Mr. W. Hamil¬ 
ton, late of Toronto, umpired the games. 
Staten Island vs. Manhattan. —The return match be¬ 
tween these clubs was played at Staten Island on the 9th 
inst,, when the home team defeated the New Yorkers by 
9 wickets. Neither team was represenative, the Manhat¬ 
tan’s being unusually weak;. they have lost their best 
bowler in Brewster, who has been engaged by the Patter¬ 
son, N. J., Club, and it will be difficult to replace him. 
Lane for the home team howled effectively—14 wickets 
for 59 runs. The score tells the story :—
