ARCHERY. 
A New Archery Contest.— We want a new combina¬ 
tion of the words “bow” and “beau,” “arrow” and 
“narrow,” into a compound quadrilateral pun. We want 
it so much that we are willing to pay for it. Our soul is 
weary with much reading of weak efforts, Give us 
something strong. Many a man can make a pun who 
cannot draw a bow. Tins competition need not be con¬ 
fined to practical arobers. We cannot allow any shooting 
at other targets than the one we have got up. No jokes 
about William Tell count. Now draw your arrows to the 
head. 
—On the 11th of Oct. a match was shot between L. L. 
Peddinghaus and C. G. Slack, of the Arden Archers, of 
Marietta, Ohio, upon one side, and Will H. Thompson and 
John A, Booe, of the Wabash Merry Bow-men, upon the 
other side, the two members of the Arden Archers being 
allowed to add 40 per cent. t,o the scores made by them. 
The result proved that this per cent, was too great a 
handicap for the two Merry Bowmen, and they were bad¬ 
ly beaten, though they shot splendidly. The two Ardens 
made fine scores, as the details below show. Single York

—In answer to the questions propounded by several cor¬ 
respondents, we can say that all the arrows used by Mr. 
Will H. Thompson iu the series of experiments in flight 
shooting, reported in our issue of Oct. 9th, were of the 
Regulation length of twenty-eight inches. A longer ar¬ 
row would have given a trifle greater flight, but would 
have endangered the bows used. It seems pretty well 
_ settled that the range of an arrow is confined within 300 
” yards.

This was certainly a very close match, and the shooting 
was extremely fine for archers who began the use of the 
bow this summer. The fifty yards’ scoring of each of the 
archers would do credit to a veteran of three years’ prac¬ 
tice, When an archer of six months’ practice scores 
above 400 points at the American Round in a match shoot 
he is a competitor to be watched in the future. We 
prophecy larger scores than these ere many mouths from 
these archers.

Real Estate in the West.— The Denver Land Co, 
offer in another column alternate lots in their addition. 
These alternate lots are in fact given away, though a nom¬ 
inal charge of one dollar is made for the "deed. The Com¬ 
pany limit the number purchasable at this price to five 
lots. Many of the large cities of the West have been 
started in a similar manner, and those who secured lots 
then, find themselves now in possession of valuable prop¬ 
erty. The opportunity does not often present itself of 
making an investment in Real Estate at such prices. The 
reliability of the Company and their title to the property 
being well established, therecould be no risk, with a fine 
prospect for a rapid increase in value. Denver has had 
such a wonderfully rapid growth, it is probable that the 
land offered will be speedily taken up.—[Ado. 
— Dr. T. Felix Gouroud’s Oriental Cream, or Magical 
Beautifier, advertised in another column, is a matter of 
deep interest to all who would have their skin free from 
the baneful influence of the elements or free from tan, 
freckles, or sallowness, or other skin blemishes, giving it 
a soft pearly whiteness and leaving the complexion clear 
and bright as crystal. 
It is recommended because its properties have been 
tested more than a quarter of a century by the very elite 
of American and continental society. "While its natural¬ 
ness of operation is such that the use of the cosmetic is 
not suspected, it is entirely certain to beautify the face 
and impart the evidence of refinement and culture. It 
meets the wants of refined ladies who require a harmless 
efficient beautifier, — [Mdi». 
NEW PUBLICATIONS. 
Four Months in a Sneak Box. By Nathaniel H. 
Bishop. Boston; Lee & Shepard. 1879. Price, $3.50. 
Mr. Bishop, who is the author of “A Thousand Miles’ Walk 
Across South America” and “Voyage ol the Paper Canoe,” seems 
to have a penchant for starting- out alone on novel expeditions. 
He is one of the sort of men who made the sixteenth century 
era of discovery. Had our friend lived in those shining days of 
adventure bis name would have come down to us with those of 
Drake and Frobisher and Raleigh and Hawkins. But in that 
ease we should not have had these admirable books of advon- 
turo. 
Our readers inay remember the author’s first voyage in a paper 
oanoe from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, in the winter of 1874- 
75. The adventurer then followed the inland waters of the 
Atlantic coast. In his last voyage he procured a Barn egat sneak- 
box, astannoh little craft twelve feet long, and rowed down the 
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, 2,600 miles, to the Gulf of Mexico and 
the mouth of the Suwanee River. 
We need not say that in recounting his adventures Mr. Bishop 
has made an entertaining volume, full of incident, humor and 
information. The book is well illustrated and is further sup¬ 
plied with charts especially prepared for it by the Coast and 
Geodetic Survey Bureau. 
—Little’s Soluble Phenyle is a valuahle’deodoriser and 
antiseptic: is an excellent article for disinfecting and 
purifying, and may be used in a score of ways. 
—See advertisement of Mr. Orgiil. Any party need¬ 
ing a first class field dog, would do well to communicate 
with him,

R. L.L., Monon, Ind.—Will you please recommend to me some 
responsible firm to which I may ship gamo and fur? Ans. C. G. 
Gunthers’ Sons, 184 Fifth avenue, for furs, and Knapp & Van 
Nostrand, Washington Market, for game. 
W. L. B., Saugatuck, Conn—We published tho other day a com¬ 
munication from Titusville, Fla., from which we should judge 
that might be a good locality for trapping. 
O. A. McC.—The Murid is 40 l't, waterline, 46 ft. over all, 9 ft. 4 
in. extreme beam, about 6 ft. 9 in. deep. Built last year by Piep- 
grass, comer Franklin and Clay streets,Greenpoint.’L. I. Belongs 
to Mr. Cbas. Stillman, of New York. Will soon be laid up at Piep- 
grass’ yard for the winter. Draws a Uttte over seven feet. 
L. A. S., Saratoga, N. Y.—1. My shooting is grouse, woodcock 
and snipe. Would not a gun of 6 lb3.16-guago be as effectual as 
a heavier one of larger bore? 2 . Are 16-gauge paper shells made ? 
3. Are “ crimpers ” for that gauge made ? 4. Is u olioko or cylin¬ 
der preferable for such shooting? Ans. tol, 2 .and 3. Yes. 4. A 
choke-bore would bo preferable in a gun of that calibre. 
H. L. R., Phoenixville, Pa.—I have a Gordon setter bitoh six 
years old, who has had several littors of pups. She has been lined 
twice recently, but both times has failed to have any pups. Can 
you tell me the cause and the remedy? Ans. Possibly she was 
too fat, otherwise we oannot.accountforit,unlossit was tho fault 
of the dog. 
B. — You can get pear-wood batteus and ship caralsor same of 
vulcanized rubber at Keuffel &Essor, Fulton street. New York 
The latter are expensive. The cutter Freda has 18 ft. hoist lo 
mainsail with long gaff. Sail area of lower sail about S()0 square 
feet. Do not fancy Windermere yachts for open water. Regular 
cutter would behave better hud be cheaper and roomier. 
C. E. W., Galena, Ill.—I have some 3f 0 paper shells which Goad¬ 
ed this fall for duck shooting hut was unable to go. Will th 6v 
shoot as well if kept until next fall? They-huve five drachms 
powder and a thin card wad over it, then two pink-edge, then shot 
and another card board wad over that? Ans. They will probably 
be perfectly good next season if kept dry. They may want re- 
reaming before using as the shot wad is apt to get loose. 
A. R„ West Chester, Pa.—I havea dog troubled with a breaking 
but along his back near the root of the tail, it seems to he an ' 
eruptive skiu disease aud very itching, as he bites it furiously I 
I have an impression that it is seated iu the blood ? Ans. Give your 
dog internally six drops of Fowler’s solution twice a day and rub 
the afflicted part with crude petroleum. Wash and drv it »n 
first with Castile soap. y wel1 
H. O., Jr., Stamford, Conn.-l. Which place would you recoin

or the south side of Long Island, and the best way to get to came- 
also how much would it cost? 2 . Wherein Jersey could'good 
quail shooting be obtained about the second week of November 
and who to address? Ans. 1. Both places excellent just now •>’ 
Address Chas. A. Smith, Forked River, New Jersey. 
G. H. W„ Dryden.-Do I, now a resident, require a license to 
shoot in Atlantic county, N. J.? To whom shall 1 make applica¬ 
tion for the same? What is the fee ? Ans. You may apply 
Blaj. W. H. Walker, Vineland, New Jersey, for permit 'to sS in 
Atlantic county, which is one of the five counties of the State 
under the jurisdiction fof the West Jersey Game Protective 
Association. The fee is $5, we believe. 
Eva.-To preserve spars during winter, slush down with mix 
tare of white lead and tallow. Always preserve your boat from 
the weather, especially on the sunny side. Tack or lash old can 
vas, burlap or matting around. Keep her clear of the mud and 
wasb of the tide, or keel will rot away. Sweep snow off 
decks. Air below during fine days. Stop allleaks that may de¬ 
velop about the bits, partners, bolts, etc., as the wood dries 
Haul out clear of sheds and shanties and insure for ttre. Comh 
up all lanyards. Stow sails and gear where they will not mildew 
and out of the way of rats, mice and thieves. 
Tyro. The sail area for a 15 ft. cat boat, as given bv you 14 ft 
hoist, 18 ft. boom, 10 ft. gaff, will make an effective' sail, having 
less hoist and more head than usual. It is an error to sup,,ore 
that’lofty narrow sails are better orsit closer to the wind than 
those of less hoist and more head. This will be more fully cx 
plained in a future issue. By changing to the sloop you will find 
your boat curry less in running free. The eat rig is not aclmisn- 
ble except in smooth water, and even then it is unhandy in man v 
respects and makes a boat wild on her helm. Kunnin- free in a 
cat we take to be a device of the Evil one to ensnare Individuals 
temperate in language. 
C. J, Washington, D. G-BIy dog is continually flopping his ears. 
He will sometimes get up in the night and give a howl, and com 
mence shaking his head furiously. What shall r do to prevent 
the flopping? Ans. Your dog has canker of the ear We nre 
sume it to be internal, as you would have noticed any sores on t hr 
outside. After washing the ear with Castile soap and warm water 
and thoroughly drying, pour into the cavitya little of the follow 
tag mixture, holding the flap down for a few minutes until it has 
had a chance to penetrate. Goulard’s extract, and wine of opium 
of each half oz.; sulphate of zinc, half drachm; water eight 
ounces, mix. 1 
A. H. M„ Philadelphia.—Three of us expect to shoot iu Nelson 
county, Va., nextmonth. Can you tell me if we shall require 
licenses ? We prefer to have them if they are procurable and im¬ 
portant. Also can birds be shipped home ? I mean in small 
quantities for private purposes only? Ans. There is no license 
required for shooting in Nelson eounty, and birds can be shipped 
to Philadelphia between Oct. 15th and Jan. 1st. The only t hing 
for you to do is to get permission to hunt from the parties on 
whose land you propose to shoot over. As all lands in the State 
are posted by general law, and without permission, some one 
might have your party arrested for trespass. There is no trouble 
about gentlemen hunting anywhere. Pot hunters get warmed 
sometimes. 
P. H„ Bloomsburg, N. J.-A setter pup bas had distemper for 
about three weeks, and still coughs and sneezes. He seems very 
healthy and eats heartily; food, table scraps. H is sight is a ffect 
ed, and he will run against you, when called, before he will stop" 
Aiken exercised will soon show weakness in his hind-quarters • 
seem to give way to one side, and he falls over - is kepi in "a 
stable with plenty of sun and clean straw; age about eighteen 
months. What would j-ou recommend be done with him ? What 
is the cause of his sight being affected? and weakness of hind¬ 
quarters? Ans. It is not uncommon for the sigh l ho lie affeeted 
after an attack of distemper. 11 is better to do nothing lq the 
eyes as they will probably come all right with returning health 
We should give the dog a wine glass of codliver oil with two or 
three drop wine of iron in it every day.
