Forest and Stream is the official organ of the National Archery Association. 
Editorial Note. 
We regret that overcrowded columns last 
week compelled the omission of some interest¬ 
ing scores and reports, which are printed this 
week. It isn’t likely to happen again, so keep 
sending in the scores. 
Program of the Tournament. 
The program of the National Archery As¬ 
sociation’s tournament, to be held in Boston, 
Aug. 19-22, has been received. In the main it is 
the same as last year’s, which proved so satis¬ 
factory in every respect. In combining the han¬ 
dicap events with the regular events, it is an im¬ 
provement, as this obviates the last excuse for 
hurry and overcrowding. The officers of the 
association are to be congratulated on their ar¬ 
rangements for the meet. 
President Gray writes that members are 
slow in advising him or Secretary Bryant of 
their intention to attend. This is wrong. It 
is absolutely necessary that the officials be noti¬ 
fied in order that proper arrangements may be 
made. All who expect to go to Boston are urged 
to notify the president or secretary at once. 
Address, Tremont Building, Boston, Mass. 
Corrected Scores of the Eastern A. A. 
The account of the tournament of the East¬ 
ern Archery Association, which has recently ap¬ 
peared in these columns, was taken from the 
newspaper reports, and while in the main it was 
correct, yet it should not be allowed to remain 
as the final record. The scores given on that 
day to the reporters for publication were taken 
without correction from the score cards kept by 
the participants themselves. As is usual in all 
tournaments, the excitement of the contest played 
havoc with their arithmetic, so that in revision it 
was found that only four or five men had added 
correctly. 
The final 
results

A glance at this list of names shows im¬ 
pressively how valuable local tournaments are 
for bringing out new men. Of the eighteen 
contestants only six had participated in an open 
match before, and it is doubtful if more than 
one or two of the remaining dozen would have 
made an archery debut in the National at Boston 
this year. The shooting of Mr. Hale was par¬ 
ticularly praiseworthy, as he beat his previous 
best record by a wide margin. In the morning 
the range was marked out on a large school 
athletic field, where track sports and other pas¬ 
times were in progress under the auspices of 
a “Sane Fourth’’ committee. The attendance was 
very large, until the dinner hour called the 
majority away. The S. F. committee enter¬ 
tained the archers at luncheon at the Wayne- 
wood Inn. Afterward the men were driven to 
another range on the spacious lawn of Ernest 
Law at the neighboring station of Saint Davids. 
The setting there was one of extraordinary 
beauty. The targets stood lined on a lawn of 
velvet smoothness before a deeply shadowed 
grove of chestnut trees. Behind the archers 
was a border of shrubs and flowers, and rising 
sharply on the left a hillside lent itself to the 
spectators as a natural grand-stand. 
Inasmuch as. Mr. Duff had generously pro¬ 
vided a handicap prize of a fitted case with 
arrows, the afternoon’s shooting had a sort of 
double significance. The net scores counted to¬ 
ward the totals as given above; and the gross 
scores, made by adding to the net a handicap 
based on the morning’s performance, counted to¬ 
ward the contest for the Duff prize. These re¬ 
sults were as follows:

Chicago Scores. 
Chicago, Ill., July 19.— Editor Forest and 
Stream: I am pleased to see in your issue of 
this date that Mr. Wills has been placed in 
charge of the archery department. You have 
made a good selection for the place, Mr. Wills 
being not only an enthusiastic archer, but a 
thorough newspaper man. 
He calls for scores, and I succeeded in get- 
ing a few of those made on our range this 
afternoon. I had hard work in getting permis¬ 
sion to report Mr. Taylor’s, for he said no one 
would believe he made it, but he did just the 
same. It was a York round. Score: 
100yds. 80yds. 60vds. Total. 
56 262 44 202 23' 147 123 611 
He made it with Whitman arrows, which 
he had never shot before, and which were nearly 
ioo grains heavier than he has been shooting, 
and he used a 48-pound Barnes’ yew bow. The 
following American round scores were made: 
George W. Nichols . 89 517 
T. H. Pendry . 76 37s 
E. B. Weston . 67 309 
H. W. Bishop . 88 550 
86 554 
I have just received the following scores 
from Burton Payne Gray, president of the N. 
A. A. Mr. Gray has practiced very little this 
season, and he should be quite satisfied with 
what he has accomplished. His scores are grow¬ 
ing well: 
Double American round. 83 499 
85 479 
168 978 
Tearn round . 86 424 
Mr. Gray made an end of five golds and 
a red twice at 50 and 40 yards, respectively. 
We should all be pleased to hear how the 
Boston archers are shooting. 
Edward B. Weston. 
[Mr. Taylor need not apprehend any skep¬ 
ticism. Anyone who has shot with him as much 
as we have, and has seen him make those won¬ 
derful scores of which he is capable, would not 
be surprised at anything he does. We have seen 
him exceed 600 several times. —Ed.] 
In changing address, the old as well as the 
new should be given.
