FOREST AND STREAM 
79 
Forest and Stream is the official organ of the National Archery Association. 
Important Notice. 
Forest and Stream goes to press Tuesdays. 
All copy should be in not later than Monday 
noon, and as much earlier as possible. 
Forest and Stream is giving far more space 
to archery than to any other sport in propor¬ 
tion to the number of its devotees, but we be¬ 
lieve that in a few years it may be restored to 
its former popularity, and we intend to do our 
part. We have now placed the archery depart¬ 
ment in charge of W. H. Wills, President of 
the New York Archery Association, and a mem¬ 
ber of the executive committee of the National 
Association. 
Mr. Wills has but one request—that archers 
will give the department their generous support. 
And last, but not least, he repeats, as his ex¬ 
ordium to the fraternity, the injunction Dr. 
Weston has so often sounded. Archers, send 
in your scores regularly. This means every 
week, and it means all archers. The London 
Field prints regularly two large pages of scores 
in fine type. Scores are the feature of chief 
interest. To make this department what it ought 
to he, scores must be had. So the secretary of 
every club is hereby urged to send us the week’s 
scores every Monday morning; and individual 
archers, where there are no clubs, are requested 
to send us their scores. Please bear this in mind 
and make it your weekly business. 
Official Archery Report. 
Forest and Stream received late in the week 
Dr. E. B. Weston’s official report of the Chicago 
archery contests of July 3-5, which were par¬ 
tially reported in this paper last week. The 
doctor’s account is complete and intensely in¬ 
teresting. So it is given here in full, to go in 
the records: 
Pre-Olympic Carnival. 
The Archery Contests, held in connection 
with the pre-Olympic Carnival, took place as 
follows: 
On July 3 and 5, single American, single 
York, single Columbia and single National rounds 
were shot. 
Gold, silver and bronze medals were award¬ 
ed the first, second and third scores in the four 
double rounds. 
On the forenoon of July 4 team rounds were 
shot, for which no prizes were offered. 
The archers all agreed that the conditions 
under which the shooting took place were the 
worst they had ever experienced. 
The range was level, free from turf, hard 
and dry. On the first and second days the tem¬ 
perature was 94 degrees, and 92 degrees on the 
third. There was a bright, cloudless sky most 
of the time, save when filled with dust. A 
strong, fluky wind blew during the meeting; on 
the third day blowing thirty miles an hour 
across the range. 
The scores tell the rest of the story. 
It is hard to predict what Mr. Rendtorff’s 
scores would have been in average archery 
weather. As it was, he passed the double Ameri¬ 
can round record. 
The shooting took place within a bowshot 
of the old White Stocking ball park, where the 
first National tournament was held, in 1879. Two 
archers were present who shot in the first meet¬ 
ing: Dr. Weston as a contestant, and C. W. 
Nichols, of Batavia, Ill., father of Geo. L. 
Nichols, one of the winners in this meet, as a 
spectator. J. M. Challiss, one of the good, but 
too modest to shoot, archers of Atchison, Kans., 
was an onlooker for the two last days. The 
readers of Forest and Stream know Mr. Challiss 
from his fine contributions to the paper.

The Balkan war has 
brought about 
a rise 
in certain lumber prices in Europe because of 
the big demand for wood for ammunition boxes.
