Americans vs. English,—T his annual match was played 
at Hoboken, N. J., on October 28th and 29th, the occa¬ 
sion being the fifth anniversary of George Giles’ profes¬ 
sional engagement with the St. George’s C. C. Rain pre¬ 
vented the play from beginning until late in the day on 
Tuesday, and on Wednesday the weather continued un¬ 
pleasant. The attendance was very small, although Ry¬ 
lott, the English umpire of the Gentlemen of Ireland, 
bowled fur the American side, and many of the best 
cricketers in New York took part in the game. Here¬ 
after, all complimentary bene tit matches should he ar¬ 
ranged to come off during the height of the season—that 
is, if the recipients are intended to profit by them. The 
following score will show that the game resulted in a 
draw :—

Staten Island vs. New York.— This match was played 
on the Island grounds, on Monday, Oct. 27tli, it being 
the first occasion on which these clubs have met. The 
bowling of Lane, the Staten Island’s professional, was 
barred in the match. The weather was very fine and 
warm, and a very pleasant day was had by all parties. 
The feature of the match was the splendid batting of 
Miley, for the home club, and the steady play of Lane, 
for the New Yorker’s. Giles, jr’s 13 was the only double 
figure on his side. Satterthwaite got 12 wickets for 27 
runs; Sprague, 6 for 2.2 runs ; Cuddihy, 7 for 36 j and 
Giles, jr., 8 for 39. The following is the score ; the home 
dub winning by 64 runs:—

GOLF IN CANADA. 
SEASON OF 1879. 
A S the golfing season is drawing to a close, it will in¬ 
terest you to know how it has fared with the “an¬ 
cient and royal game ” during 1879. In no former year 
has it flourished more luxuriantly. Match after match 
has been played: cups and medals and belts have been 
lost and won. Old golfers, although the colts, steadily 
gaming ground, have sometimes passed them, still strug¬ 
gle to maintain their prestige, but are prepared, if so de¬ 
creed, to accept a beating from then pupils as the highest 
triumph. 
Our opening game was played in May, andas usual the 
men from Montreal arrived to compete for the inter-city 
trophy, a handsome challenge cup of ebony and silver, 
played for eveiy May and October in Quebec or Montreal. 
It was then won by Quebec — eight players a side—a round 
of eighteen holes. Score in favor of Quebec Club, thirty- 
two holes up, In October it was played for over the Mon¬ 
treal course, with the same number of players and holes, 
and the Quebec Club was again the winner with six holes 
up. As two silver balls, one with the name of the win¬ 
ning club, and the other with the name of the individual 
winner of that club, are hung on the trophy on each occa¬ 
sion, its original value is yearly increasing; already 
twelve halls adorn it, eight representing Quebec and four 
M ontreal victories. 
The Chalouer Cup, the Banker's Cup, the Silver Handi¬ 
cap Medal, and the Champion Gold Medal, have also been 
competed for, and many private matches through the 
season have kept up the glory of the game. 
Bv a friendly arrangement with the Quebec Racket 
Club, conveniences not before enjoyed have fallen to the 
Golf Club, formerly confined to limited accommodation. 
They have had duringthis season, the use of tho handsome 
dressing rooms and reading room of the Racket Court 
which adjoins their first teeing place. 
The round which consists formerly of twelve holes, is 
now fourteen, and the improvement of the play may be 
estimated roughly when I say that the fourteen holes are 
now (lone in the number of strokes required for twelve 
holes in former years. 
Saturday is the great field day, but every day unless 
tempestuous the work goes on. By 3 o’clock cadies creep 
around the club house, and each player, as he appears, is 
claimed as special property and carried off. Ten cents a 
round is the tariff ; the usual time required, an hour and 
a half. Of all sorts and sizes are the cadies—grimy and 
clean, ragged and respectable—all trying to earn an hon¬ 
est penny. For the most part they are tractable, but not 
so always. As we emerged on one occasion from the club 
house, a dogged and unnatural silence had seized each 
cady. With lips compressed they eyed usas we wondered 
what was up. No cady stirred or spoke. A strike for 
fifteen cents a round ! We scorned to yield, and played 
a dismal round without them. Nine balls were lost that 
day 1 but we kept our secret and the strike was broken 
up. We pull together now in amity. 
As some of your readers may not understand the game 
of golf, probably the most fascinating, the most health¬ 
ful, and the most easily practiced of all out-door games, I 
shall describe it shortly. Any number may play, as play 
goes on hi couples. Any extent of waste or meadow land 
covered with short grass, regular or irregular, hilly or flat, 
will answer for a course, which may be arranged in any 
direction or of any shape. From 200 to 400 yards apart 
small circular holes are cut in the turf about three inches 
in diameter and six inches deep. Each player has a ball 
of gutta-percha, painted white and very hard, and a vari¬ 
ety of clubs artistically made, to strike the ball in dif¬ 
ferent positions. To look after the balls and carry extra 
clubs, each player employs a cady. The purpose of the 
player is to drive his bail from the starting point into each 
successive hole in as few strokes as possible. Every touch 
or attempt to strike the ball is a stroke, and the lowest 
number wins the hole. The game may be counted either 
by the holes won, or by the strokes for the round. For 
the first stroke from each hole the ball may be teed, that 
is, placed where the player thinks most favorable for a 
good hit off. Well lilt, it is often sent over 160 yards. 
Each stroke, therefore, is made at the ball exactly as it 
lies, in a bush, a bunker, or it may be in a broken bottle 1 
The various clubs then come into requisition. The cleek, 
the iron, the niblic—all made of iron for strong ground. 
The spoons of various lengths for softer and hilly ground, 
and the putter for the nicer work on the green around the 
holes. 
To appreciate the jjame one must play, and any further 
attempt to describe it might be tedious. If any of your 
readers desire to understand it thorouglily and practically 
to test its fascinations, I shall be glad to furnish him with 
our printed rules, from which he can learn the game. In 
Scotland and England it now flourishes wherever the 
ground can be had suitable for it, and I am glad to say 
that on the soil of Canada it has taken such healthy root 
that we hope to test era long, our power with some of the 
famous clubs of the old country. There must be golfers 
in the United States ; let them come on. C, F. S.

ARCHERY. 
ENGLAND’S BOWMEN TO THE FRONT. 
Editor Forest and Stream 
It having been brought to my notice that in your im¬ 
pression of the 1st September an attack has been most 
unwarrantably made upon me by two of your cor¬ 
respondents—*' Archer” and Mr. John W. Sutton—I beg, 
in fairness, that you will grant me the favor of a 
reply. 
There is nothing I so much dislike as rushing into 
print, but when misstatements.are printed three thou¬ 
sand miles from me, and it comes to my notice, I think 
you will agree with me that I ought to reply, which I 
will now do, as briefly as possible. 
First of all, “ Archer” says : “ Mr. Aldred himself will 
not even string his most expensive yew bows without 
being first paid for them.” Now, sir, this is entirely un¬ 
true, as all the English archers who know me would 
verify, and I am truly astonished how “Archer” could 
have made such a statement. 
Further, for Ms information, it is the truth that I have 
wood five years old ahead, and older, and am obliged to 
have it. 
To his statements that “judging from the way their 
bows (i. e,, the English) have broken this year, I should 
imagine they are driven to using wood anything but well 
seasoned,” all I can says is, no house of known respecta¬ 
bility would do such a tiling, as they would be sure to be 
found out, lose connection, and justly deserve censure. 
Really, I hardly know how to express my tliank3 to 
your other correspondent (he being a competitor) for such 
a frank expression of his opinion in my favor; but when 
he adds: “But to an American mechanic (a wood 
worker) Mr. Aldred’s statement of wood five years in his 
shop seems rather comical,” permit me to say that how¬ 
ever “ comical” he may think it, it is, nevertheless, true, 
and also that “a stick of timber” cannot be forced to 
season artificially for bow making, and, moreover, that 
the wood must be gradually and naturally seasoned by a 
current of air constantly passing through the drying or 
seasoning room, and the bows advanced by sundry stages 
year by year. 
I quite agree with Mr. Sutton that “ carpenters do not 
make fly rods,” nor do cabinetmakers, as I know, to my 
cost, and so limited are the good bow makers that I can 
count them on my fingers. That being so, not an extra 
hand can be got for “ love or moneyhence, the manu¬ 
facture is limited, and most certain it is—strange as it 
may appear—that it takes years to make a good bow, Let 
Mr. Sutton set a man to copy one of my yew bows, and 
when done place the two in the hands of an experienced 
archer, and let him try them in the field. He might be 
astonished at the report, and not find it a “ very simple 
affair.” 
In England the archers, as a body, know as much about 
the qualities of bows as the makers, and so will the 
Americans as time progresses, but it is hardly reasonable 
to suppose that knowledge to be attained in a couple of 
years. During that time I have corresponded much, and 
have done my best to impart all the knowledge I could to 
my many customers in America, and have sent them 
my best goods, with, I am pleased to say, their great 
satisfaction. 
Mr, Sutton goes on to say : “ So far we have made but 
very few yew bows, but they will be made by our best 
makers, and as to-day we are making as good seif-lance 
and snake-wood as are made hi the world, and better 
backed bows than are imported, I think it safe to say that 
when we get yew wood we wall make as good, and per¬ 
haps better than any English maker, no matter what his 
name may be.” 
Would Mr. Sutton be surprised to hear that all snake- 
wood bows are bad ? They are not used in this country, 
with very rare exceptions, and why not ? Because the 
wood is brittle in its nature, heavy in the hand, and slug- 
f ish in the cast ; but then they are so pretty to look at. 
further say, all hard woods are more or less harsh and 
apt to jar, and that no bows can equal self-yew and yew- 
backed yew. Personally 1 prefer the self bow, for all two 
and three-piece bows are so liable, in some way or other, 
at some time, to be affected by damp or excessive heat, 
whereas with a self bow that fear is done away with, and 
in my humble opinion no description of bow will ever 
equal the self-yew bow. 
“ Toxophilite” was, I should think, as astonished to 
lieear as 1 am that “ there is more mechanical skill in the 
making of one split bamboo bow than in all the bows 
made by Mr. Aldred in a year.” Is there ? If so, it must 
indeed be a wonderful year. Still, so obdurate and old- 
fashioned am I, that 1 will venture (after the sixty-six 
years’ experience appertaining to my establishment) to 
hack a self-Spanish yew bow and a yew-backed-yew bow 
against all bows. 
But Mr. Sutton winds up with this elegant peroration ; 
“ American mechanics are superior to any others in the 
world, and having begun the making of bows and arrows, 
will not stop until they supply the world with a better
