NATIONAL ARCHERY MEETING. 



The Annual Meeting of the National Arch- 

 ery Association of the United States was held 

 in Chicago, last August 15, 16, 17. 



The field, in Washington Park was as fine 

 as any on which the Association has ever held 

 a tournament. The weather was not good for 

 the large scores which every one had pre- 

 dicted. The first day was cloudy and damp. 

 The second and third were bright and not 

 too hot ; but during the whole meeting a 

 strong north, or northeast, wind blew down 

 the range, and even the strongest archers fell 

 before it. 



Champion G. Phillips Bryant, of Boston, 

 won the York Round Medal a second time, 

 but had to surrender the American Round 

 Medal to Mr. C. C. Beach, of Battle Creek, 

 Mich. 



MJrs. M. C. Howell won the National 

 Round and the Columbia Round Medals as 

 she has done for about fifteen years. 



The meeting was considered one of the 

 most successful ever held. It was a oted unani- 

 mously to hold the 1906 meeting in Boston, 

 Mass. 



The following officers were elected : 



President, Wallace Bryant, Boston.
