ality. Upwards of 90,000 assembled to witness the first 
Philadelphian match, and the sight presented by the 
company of ladies on the Grand Stands was beyond all 
description. The cricket all round was splendid ; and as 
to the fielding, ho never in all his experience saw finer. 
Daft concluded by proposing the health of “ the American

opposed, and coupled with the toast the name of Captain

kind to them during their sojourn there .—Sporting Life,

ARCHERY. 
WHERE AND WHEN SHALL THE SECOND GRAND 
NATIONAL MEETING BE HELD ? 
O N the fourth Wednesday in January next the regular 
annual business meeting of the National Archery 
Association will be held at the office of Mr. Henry C. 
Carver, the corresponding secretary, at Chicago. It 
seems to be of much importance that"this meeting should 
he attended by representatives from every society belong¬ 
ing to the Association. Besides the election of officers to 
serve for the ensuing year, and the election of an execu¬ 
tive committee to manage the affairs of the Association, 
the representatives present will chose the time and place 
of holding the second grand annual meeting of the Asso¬ 
ciation. 
That it is of great importance that this meeting should 
be held under favorable surroundings no one will deny, 
but it is not easy to say just where the most favorable 
point for tlie meeting may be found. As to the time of 
holding it, there are many circumstances which make it 
seem desirable that this great meeting should occur in 
the month of June. At that season of the year, business 
men, who comprise the majority at every archery meet¬ 
ing, have as much leisure as at any other season of the 
year. The weather at that time is usually reliably fine. 
The archers are then at their best shooting form, not 
having yet become enervated by a long, hot summer. 
How true this last observation is, almost every archer at 
tending the first national meeting last August can bear 
witness. Scarcely one out of twenty came there in good 
form. For many weeks^ireceding the meeting the aver¬ 
age scoring of almost every archer bad been very low, 
caused undoubtedly, in a great measure, by the nervous 
enervation from the long-continued heat. Either the 
meeting should be early in June or late in the fall ; and 
there seem to be very many good reasons why it should 
not be held late in the season. 
Tlie English archers having had much experience in 
these matters, are almost unanimous in their desire for 
early meetings, and all bear witness to the greater suc¬ 
cess of those meetings which have occurred early in 
the season. In our own country the pleasure seekers 
who would usually attend our great archery meetings go 
to the seaside, the Northern lakes, and other resorts, fora 
“breathing spell" during the “ heated term” of July and 
Angust, and a meeting at that time will never be so well 
attended. Another consideration which would weigh 
strongly with many, is, that if the meeting shall be held 
in June there will be several representatives of the skill 
of Great Britain upon the field. I have received letters 
from several gentlemen whose names stand high in 
archery circles in the Isles, w T ho propose attending our 
next annual meeting, provided its date does not clash 
with then- own Grand National in the latter part of July. 
How much such a visit would add to the interest of the 
occasion can readily be imagined, and many archers 
would come from great distances to be witnesses of the 
skill of our cousins from beyond the sea, who have upheld 
for so many years the honor of the how. It would be 
worth, to any enthusiastic archer, a trip from San Fran¬ 
cisco, to converse with a man who had shot over the 
same range with Ford, and Bramhall, and Maitland, and 
Moore, and Spottiswoode, and Holmes. 
There are many other considerations in behalf of a 
June meeting, and since everything depends upon the 
work done at the January business meeting, it is very im¬ 
portant that every society sends representatives to this 
meeting. _ Will H , Thompson.
