Excellent Scores at Wayne. 
Wayne, Pa., Aug. 9 .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: Here are our Wayne scores for the 
past few days: 
July 31 —1 shot alone and made a York of 
3I-I37; 39-I9I; 24-136; total, 94-464. 
Aug. 2—A double American : 
28-162; 28-134; 30-222; total, 86-538 
28-137; 29-181; 30-216; total, 87-534 
Aug. 3—The first American, or in fact any 
round, that the Count de Bourcia ever shot. 
The count is a Frenchman and has become very- 
enthusiastic over archery. He served as an 
officer of artillery in the French army and so 
picked up the idea of indirect aiming in archery 
very quickly. His scores: 4-16; 11-41; 20-4; 
total, 35-131. Elmer’s: 29-161; 30-202; 30-190; 
total, 89-553. 
Aug. 4—A game of archery-golf on the St. 
Davids course, which was of great interest on 
account of the skill of the golfers. I played 
against the best ball of Herman Wendell and 
his son Douglas. 
Wendell . 5 4 3 5 3 4 5 6 4—3!) 
45445454 4—39 
Elmer . 54252445 5-3(1 
34364355 3—36 
By medal play this would give 78 to 72. By 
match play it would have given seven up for 
the archer. With the official handicap of Doug¬ 
las Wendell (io) as applied specifically to this 
course, the archer would have won by only one 
up. Thus it appears that with the archer play¬ 
ing scratch and the golfer using his regular han¬ 
dicap rating, the game of archery-golf becomes 
a very close sport in match play, and with an 
advantage for the golfer in medal play. I used 
as a target a four-inch cardboard disc laid flat 
on the ground. Seen edgewise from the border 
of the putting green, this was a hard thing to 
hit. If a small standing target were used, the 
game would be unfairly easy for the archer. 
Aug. 5 — The second Columbia and the first 
with good arrows shot by Mrs. John Dunlap, 
Jr. I shot an American: 
Mrs. Dunlap . 5-23 10-42 20-102 35-167 
Elmer . 25-129 30-176 29-165 84-470 
Mrs. Dunlap made the last two ends in 
999553 = 6 — 40 and 775533 = 6 — 30. 
Aug. 6 — Practice York: 37-137; 42-225; 24- 
166; total, 103-528. I am pleased with the 60- 
yard score, as it is two points better than Ford’s, 
when he made his record score of 137-809 for a 
practice York. 
Aug. 7 — A delightful afternoon, because J. 
Mark Mauser came here to shoot. It is the first 
time in his life that he has shot a York all 
through without stopping. His shooting is much 
better than the score indicates, because he used 
a very feeble bow that made him take a point 
of aim high in the sky, which he had never 
done before. At sixty his bow had weakened 
so much that he threw away the first end finding 
a point of aim. 
Hale has been in Virginia motoring for two 
weeks, and on Thursday shot for his first time. 
His 100-yard work was wonderful, but at 80 his 
fingers got tired, because he was using a stronger 
bow than he had ever handled before. After 
the match he engaged a ticket to Boston, where 
I hope he will shoot on the Keystone team. 
Mauser: 21-75; 29-119; 15-71; total, 65-265. 
Hale: 27-127; 28-102; 13-61; total, 68-290. 
Elmer: 32-116; 44-230; 23-123; total, 99-469. 
Aug. 8—York round: 
Hale: 31-m; 25- 107; 19 * 97 ; total, 75-315- 
Elmer: 38-176; 34-156; 22-112; total, 94-444. 
Aug 9—Team round : 
Hale: 15-61; 21-105; 12-70 (for two ends). 
Elmer, 24-154; 21-133; 24-160; 24-168 = 93 
—615. 
This is my record for the team round, and 
also for 24 consecutive arrows at sixty yards. 
Hale was called away at the middle of the 
third 24. Robert P. Elmer. 
New Archers on Long Island. 
Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 9. —Editor Forest 
and Stream: Mr. Wills remarks the great diffi¬ 
culty New York archers have in getting together 
for practice is owing to the lack of a suitable 
piece of ground. This is a condition which 
every lover of the sport hopes will be overcome 
in the near future, as devotees of archery in the 
Empire State are as numerous as in any other 
part of the country, but so scattered that there 
is great difficulty in getting in touch with them. 
Among the many and latest is Chas F. Hubbs, 
of Babylon, L. I., and one of New York’s leading 
merchants. I was invited to his beautiful home 
this week, and for honest desire to learn and 
keen intelligence in understanding the whys and 
wherefores, it has not been my lot to meet many 
such as were found among the family and 
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbs yesterday. 
After an hour's instruction and promiscuous 
shooting, Mr. Hubbs and Chas. Balfe shot a com¬ 
petition at fifty yards of thirty arrows each and 
scored as follows: 
C. F. Hubbs.... 3-17 5-21 5-19 4-12 5-25 22-94 
C. Balfe . 3-21 1-1 4-16 2-8 4-20 14-66 
Mr. Hubbs also shot six arrows at 60 yards, 
although feeling played out by his previous exer¬ 
tions, and succeeded in scoring 003577 = 4 
—22. He is an all round sportsman, keen and 
enthusiastic, as evidenced by his many cups and 
trophies. We are going to hear something from 
Mr. Hubbs as an archer, and when the New York 
contingent get their house in order, I feel sure 
he will be well to the fore. That the ladies did 
not shine so brightly was due to the fact that 
equipments were not altogether suitable, but 
even at that the satisfied smile was visible pretty 
often at the pleasant sound of the plop as the 
arrows found the mark. James Duff. 
English Grand National Archery Meeting. 
The seventieth Grand National Archery 
Meeting of England, the historic English event 
of the noble sport, was held at Edgbaston, July 
30.-Aug. 1, with eighty ladies and fifty-one gen¬ 
tlemen entering. This was less than the average 
attendance according to the London Field, whose 
report of the meeting is here summarized. The 
shooting did not furnish any conspicuously good 
scores among the men. The ladies’ averages 
were better. Miss Legh as usual leading. The 
weather was cloudy, but the wind was not par¬ 
ticularly unfavorable. The half dozen best scores 
on the first two days (double National and York 
rounds) were: 
Miss Legh . 135-703 
Miss E. Browett... 139-631 
Airs. R. Sandford.. 134-626

tional with 136-716 and Mrs. Armitage was sec¬ 
ond with 132-700. Of the men, Brooks-King 
won with 187-829 and W. Dod made 178-782.

The above scores are the best to date of 
Cither of the shooters. 
A toy company at Sheboygan, Wis., started 
out to use only the waste wood from other mills. 
It has worked out a system of using all small 
waste pieces so that practically nothing but the 
sawdust is lost.
