the bat tot, and ran up the respectable total 70 in their 
first inning, against their opponent’s 47, leaving the home 
club 23 runs behind. However, in Oswego’s second in¬ 
ning they only compiled 20. With little over an hour to 
play, the Falls got to work and managed to rub off the 
score with two wickets to spare, Below is the full score: —

players are not only adepts in the game, hut a rare lot of 
jolly good fellows, and we trust to have the pleasure of 
seeing them again. Scores in our next issue,

ARCHERY. 
AMERICAN BOWS vs. ENGLISH BOWS. 
been using the Spanish yew ever since; and in conse¬ 
quence of using the yew bow so much I cannot use the 
lancowood. Thero seems to be a softer pull to the yew, 
which cannot be had with the lancewood. I asked Mr. 
Aldred a few points in regard to bow-making, and he 
took me through iris shop and showed me the process. 
He does not work any wood that has not been in his shop 
for five years. His experience has taught him that if the 
wood is not thoroughly seasoned, a bow that pulls 40 lbs. 
this season wifi pull 50 lbs. next season. His yew bows 
are shaped with a drawn knife so as to have ttie straight 
grain. My objections to two or three-pieced bows are 
that if you break a tip, or a string, they are liable to split 
up; and another objection is the unevenness of the 
woods. I saw an American snakewood bow backed with 
hickory—the snakewood broke short across. Mr. Aldred 
showed me the medals he had received from the Emperor 
of France, of Brazil, of the King of Denmark, of the 
Prince of Wales, at the Exhibition of London, 1851 and 
’63, New York, 1853, Dublin, 1865, Paris, 1867. The prizes 
wore all for archery. The bow taking the prize at Paris 
was a Spanish yew, valued at thirty-five guineas. J. B. 
Crook & Co., well-known fishing tackle manufacturers, 
stopped making bows themselves and took the agency 
of Aldred, and seeing tlieir advertisement in your valua¬ 
ble paper I stopped in to inspect tlieir stock, which, with¬ 
out any exaggeration, is the finest of English and Spanish 
yew I have ever seen displayed in any store in this coun¬ 
try or Europe. Mr. Crook showed me a Spanish yew 
valued at $75, which I do not think can he duplicated in 
the world. You can talk of your American bows, but it 
is preposterous to put them against such a maker as 
Thomas Aldred, who has been making archery since the 
year 1813. You cannot get a carpenter to make a first-class 
fly-rod, nor can you get novices to make first-class bows. 
Experience makes perfect; and if experience will make a 
man a first-class bow maker, then you have it in Thomas 
Aldred ; and I say there is no maker fix this country that 
is prepared to-day with stock ahead to mak6 bows that 
will answer the requirements. There have been a great 
many American bows sold this season, ranging in price 
from $ 1,50 to $5, and a great many have been broken just 
because the wood was not seasoned. I asked Messrs. 
Crook & Co. how the Aldred bows were liked, and they 
say they have sold over 500 bows, ranging in price from 
$7.50 to $75, and never had one returned or anybody dis¬ 
satisfied, which I thought was a very good recommenda¬ 
tion. They are receiving orders from all parts of the 
country for the yew bows, and have had six shipments 
this season. Mr. Carver, Secretary of the National Asso¬ 
ciation, has an Aldred Spanish yew that he paid $125 for.

Editor Forest and Stream 
I noticed in your last week’s issue that ‘‘Archer’’ say 
that the best bows are made in this country, I am not 
in the archery business, nor connected with any house (ts 
an advertizing agent, but have used the bow for over 
twenty years and have worked very hard to introduce it 
to this country. I have visited every meeting of account 
in this country. I was at the Chicago Tournament, and 
was very much pleased with the progress made, and I 
think by next season when we have another tournament 
it will be represented by clubs from all parts of the States 
and Canadas. As an out-door amusement it yields to 
none in its direct tendencies to promote and invigorate 
the health of its votaries ; and to those who wish to be¬ 
come acquainted with this excellent pastime a few words 
may not be unacceptable. The bows and arrows are the 
main part of the outfit. I am in favor of bows of one 
piece, let it be a yew or a lancewood. The yew is the 
pest, on account of the lightness of the wood and its 
elasticity. My first bow was a lancewood, made by 
Thomas Aldred of London, a gentleman of world-wide 
reputation as a manufacturer of archery goods, which I 
used for three years. The bow’s pulling strength was 
40 lbB. Then I purchased from the same maker an Eng¬ 
lish yew, 48 lbs.; then a Spanish yew, 52 lbs., and have
