Peninsular Cricket Club. —The score books show that 
the Peninsular cricketers, of Detroit, made a fine record 
during the season. Nearly every player in the first eleven 
scored double figures, and, when it is considered that they 
met such formidable opponents as Daft’s Team and the 
Gentlemen of Ireland, this proves the team to he very 
strong in batting. In bowling, Armstrong, Dale, and 
White were very effective. For the following batting 
and bowling averages, we are indebted to Mr. C. B. Cal¬

Two prizes, each a handsome ornamental target and 
easel, wore awarded, one to Miss Worthington and the 
other to Miss Smith. 
This indoor range is doing wonders for those of our 
arclierB who contemplate participating in the Eastern 
Archery Association tournament next season. Three of 
the gentlemen have already scored over 200 witli 30 ar¬ 
rows at 40 yards. These, of course, were practice scores, 
and under favorable circumstances. Then- modesty pre¬ 
vents the giving of names, nevertheless we think it a 
good showing for archers who have not yet finished their 
first season, Having a difficulty about seeing where the 
an'OWB hit when the haU is lighted during our evening 
shoots, we tried the experiment of a target facing with 
the heavy colors left out. We surround the solid gold 
with a narrow stripe of red, an'd outline the outer part 
ol’ the red, blue and black by a narrow stripe, say a quar¬ 
ter inch, of those colors on a white ground. This we 
think quite an improvement; we can see our arrows 
strike, aud can much more easily concentrate on the 
gold than with the heavy circles of blue aud black on the 
Facing. A. N. Drew. 
New York Archery Club.— The members of this club 
met Christmas Day and Saturday, Dec. 27th, for practice 
at their hall, corner of Ninth avenue and Twenty-seventh 
street, which had been kindly tendered them by Messrs. 
Jphnson & Sheppard, proprietors of the Twenty-third 
street line of stages. The following are the leading scores, 
DO arrows, 30 yards. Total score :— 
Jas. W. Auten, Jr., 88 hits... 496 I Geo. H. Sheldon.324 
John IV. Sutton, 89 hits. 470 Miss E. T. Morton.303 
Geo. D. Pond.. 320 Mrs. Dr. DeLnna..293 
Dr. A. B. DeLuna.313 I Miss B. Howell.223 
Dr. J. Ellas Whitehead. 300 Miss Fannie M. Wren.210 
Juan F. Perez. 225 | Miss Julie E. Manger.198 
The ladies shot for the monthly prize, consisting of a 
fancy tassel. Mrs. Dr. DeLuna won the prize, the scores 
being handicapped. At the monthly meeting, held Sat¬ 
urday evening, Dec. 27th, four new members were added 
to the roll. The editor of the Forest and Stream and 
Alexander Shaler were elected honorary members. 
Although the club has a range of fifty yards in their 
present quarters, the members are shooting at 30 yards 
only on account of having received a challenge from the 
Ascham Archers, of Williamsburg, to shoot at that dis¬ 
tance. The team of six, consisting of Dr. A. B. DeLuna, 
John W. Sutton, Geo. D. Pond, Jas. W. Auten, Jr., Mrs. 
Dr. A. B. DeLuna and Miss E, T. Morton, visited the 
Ascham Archers Tuesday evening, Dec. 30th, at 8 o’clock 
P. M., at their hall, corner of Division avenue and Clymer 
street, Williamsburg, where the match took place.

Wabash Merry Bowmen.— Crawfordsville, Ind., Dee. 
23d.—The club held its first meeting for winter practice. 
The ground being hard frozen, and a cold wind Blowing 
from the north, the archers were unable to do any good 
scoring. The following best scores were made at the 
York Round :— 
300 Fords. 80 Yards. 60 Partis. Total. 
WillH. Thompson-. 26—106 25—103 24—122 75-831 
Maurice Thompson. 23— 91 29—127 22— 98 74-316 
John A. Root . 13— 43 20— 84 18— 66 51—193 
Theo. Me Meehan.11— 47 21— 90 16— 4-3 51—191 
During the winter, when the weather will permit, this 
Society will hold occasional meetings for out-door prac¬ 
tice, they being unable to get a hall of sufficient length 
for in-door practice. There will be no regular appointed 
meetings for practice, but only when the elemen ts are 
willing. The ladies will have no practice until spring. 
Some Queries Answered— Galesburg, Illinois, Dee. 
C tli—Editor Forest and Stream i —1. Is it allowed to 
change the inclination of the target as one passes from 
the shorter to the longer ranges ? 2. Is it allowed to shoot 
a few arrows before beginning a round, to get the range ? 
3. Is the same thing allowed in passing from shorter to 
longer distances upon the same round ? 4. Is the same 
thing allowed in resuming the incomplete score of a pre¬ 
vious day ? 5. Are my arrows particularly had, or my 
shooting them particularly vicious, that I can find no 
two that will fly just alike at the longer ranges? 6. Do 
any of our best archers practice at longer ranges than 100 
yards ? 
I Bhot twenty-four arrows at 120 yards the other day 
with a stiff breeze blowing directly across the course, and 
made seven hits, 1, 3, 1, 5, 5, 5, 0—total 29. Next year 
we hope to have an archery club here in connection with 
the National Association. 
T. R. W. 
In answer to the above queries we will say that it is 
allowable to change the inclination of the targets as one 
passes from the shorter to the longer ranges, though we 
would suggest that the longest range is usually shot first, 
and this order was only changed at the National meeting 
at Chicago for peculiar local reasons. 
To the second, third and fourth queries we answer 
that it is never allowable to shoot an arrow to get the 
range. The first arrow shot is scored. 
To thefifth query we can only say, that if you have the 
best arrows of any first-class maker they will all have a 
like flight, if “ loosed evermore alike.” 
To the sixth we answer, that many of our leading 
archers do occasionally practice at 120 yards, but few of 
them, indeed, would agree to equal the score of seven 
hits, 20 value, with 24 arrows. The Double York Rounds 
are also very fine records. 
TEN DAYS AT FOREST LAKE WITH THE 
PEQUOSSETTS. 
I T was in the quiet of a summer's evening that the 
idea was suggested. As the shades of night closed 
upon them, one by one the archers withdrew from the 
range, and joined the others on the seats near by, to 
spend, as usual, a short time in discussing such opinions 
and fancies as were presented at these times. The con¬ 
versation turned to summer vacations, the beaches, ex¬ 
cursions, camping out, etc. 
“Wouldn’t it be' jolly for us all to go camping out?” 
said one of theladies. “I’dlike to try it.” 
“ So should I; and why can’t we ?” said another. 
“Well, who will go?” was the next question asked. 
and a count settled it, the result being four ladies and 
six gentlemen who were ready for the undertaking. 
The ladies were duly and solemnly warned in regard 
to the uncertainties aud discomforts of camp life, ami as 
solemnly agreed to abide by the consequences, How 
they braved what did come was a matter of no little cc^- -= 
gratulation to those whose anxiety was aroused by 
three days’ storm, which set in on the second day z “V 
camp, and culminated in a severe gale during the after¬ 
noon and night of the fourth day. 
Not to be talked out of the ideabymaldngita futurily, 
each one at once resolved himself or herself into a “ com- 
mitee of arrangements.” B„ the oldest camper of the 
party, drew up a list of requisites, and pledges for each 
duty or necessity were made. 
To me fell the lot of engaging'a cook. One was readily 
found, who as readily backed out on the day previous to 
our departure, Several hours of travel here and there 
through the hot streets of the “Hub,” under the sun of 
one of the warmest of our summer days, was rewarded 
by the engagement of a person, upon whom, at our first 
meal in camp, the title of “Professor” was bestowed; 
and well worthy of it did he prove. Long will be re¬ 
membered that form, shrouded by the white coat and 
apron, the black, shining, jolly face, surmounted by the 
white cap. Long live Wilson Sears, C. M., to gladden, 
by ministering to their stomachs, the hearts of those 
who may be blessed with appetites such as were found by 
us during our sojourn in the grove on the shore of Forest 
Lake. 
Our camping spot was chosen for its accessibility, it 
being but ten miles from our town, with a railroad 
depot a mile and a half distant, where we could take the 
train for home or Boston, which was very convenient for 
those gentlemen who were obliged to go to the city at 
times during our stay ; and with the several horses and 
carriages belonging to the party quartered at a neighbor¬ 
ing farm-house, gave a feeling of ability to get away if we 
chose, which was, I think, quite a help to ns in enduring 
the long, disagreeable storm which we experienced. 
A large wall-tent for the ladies, another for the gentle¬ 
men, a small tent for the “Professor,” awnings for the 
table, dresser and stove were quickly set up ; crockery 
was unpacked; commissaries stowed away, hammocks 
swung, and a general getting ready for camp life took 
place. Three of the ladies arrived during these prepara¬ 
tions, and took a hand ill the arrangement of their tent. 
This gave us a party of six, besides the ,v Professor,” the 
others not being able to leave on so short notice, but 
were to follow in a day or two. 
Supper was ready by the time we had arranged our 
camp, and we were very ready for it. After supper a 
requisition was made for the boat brought by us. It was 
quickly placed in the water and occupied by four, while 
the two remaining reclined in their hammocks, and in a 
quiet lazy way enjoyed the situation. 
The shades of night deepened upon us ; one by one the 
stars came out, and could be seen twinkling through the 
openings in the trees overhead. In front, the camp fire, 
and beyond, through the fringe of trees, the quiet lake ; 
while o’er the waters were wafted the songs or the row¬ 
ers. Even now, as I think of it, the quiet happiness of 
that hour steals over me, and I give myself for the time 
to its influence. 
The first night in camp is always a novelty, and espe- 
peeially to those who are taking their first experience in 
such life. Ours was no exception to the rule. 
The camp cots, with which all were provided, though 
very comfortable, did not bring sleep with them. Con¬ 
versation would quiet down time and time again ; but the 
quiet would be broken by an exclamation from some 
one, to which all were ready to make answer. Many were 
the vows openly made respecting the drinking of choco¬ 
late, coffee, or strong tea at night, only to be forgotten 
the next day after the sleep which finally came to all. • 
The next day, Friday, I was to devote to fishing. The 
lake had been stocked some years since with black bass, 
and fishing permits were granted at one dollar per day. 
I went prepared to catch my first bass, but did not suc¬ 
ceed tn getting him into the boat. I fished all day long, 
trolling with flies, shiner, and spoon, still-baited with live 
bait and worms, but to no purpose save the strike of one 
while trolling. He shook cleai at his second jump out of 
water. An abundance of food for them was to be found, 
so they were particular. Having had my money’s worth 
of fishing, I wanted no more at that price, and for our 
prospective chowders an order was left at the village 
post-office for the fishman to call at our camp on his 
semi-weekly round. 
■Will P-and “ Brother Sam ” arrived during the af¬ 
ternoon, necessitating the return home of Nat, the jolly 
boy of our party. Sam proved himself the boss at camp¬ 
fire building ; his fire being the glory of the evening. By 
it we sat, sang, and told stories until a late hour. 
The early morning of Saturday opened with the wind 
northeast, and a light rain, which continued to fall at in¬ 
tervals all day. Colonel B- made us an early visit, 
driving up before, aud stopping to breakfast with us. 
He brought a generous supply of fresh meat, vegetables, 
etc. 
In the afternoon Ned drove up, bringing with him 
“ Mr. and Mrs. Joe,” and a load of eatables, including a 
large pot of baked beans, taken from the oven just before 
starting. These were quickly transferred to the oven of 
our stove and kept hot for dinner. The Forest and 
Stream had been forwarded to me, and by our five that 
evening we discussed the archery news and scores as we 
warmed up and dried ourselves for the night. 
Sunday was one of those damp drizzly days when the 
thick mist drives along in heavy clouds, increasing now 
and then to rain. 'With rubber boots, coats, and other 
waterproofs, we spent most of the day beside the camp 
fire, waiting patiently for the weather to brighten. The 
evening was enlivened by singing and by listening to 
some of the southern camp meeting songs, rendered by 
thfi “Professor” who was raised in “Ole Yarginny ” in 
the “ Professor ” who was raised in “ Ole Varginny ” 
the genuine plantation tone. Two of these, “Don’t he 
Weary,” and “ Winter’s almost Over,” were ninety-nine 
verses long, or less, and all like the first. 
Monday morning the weather was the same, only more 
so, and the conundrum was anxiously asked—When will 
there be a change ? Will and Dick drove home in the 
morning, and, finding the storm so severe in the after¬ 
noon, did not return. The wind and rain increased so 
much during the afternoon that all were obliged to seek 
shelter in the tents. B. drove over to the depot with Sam, 
who was obliged to return home, and stopped at the post 
office, where it was learned that the barometer had been 
rapidly falling, and he returned to camp with the feeling 
within himself that there was to be “ a night of it,” and 
with, as he the next day confessed, some anxiety as tg
