Forest and Stream is the official organ of the National Archery Association. 
Coming Archery Events. 
Prospects are bright for a very successful 
meeting of the Eastern Archery Association at 
Wayne on the coming Fourth of July. Most of 
the foremost archers who are eligible to com¬ 
pete have signified their intention of doing so. 
Two handsome silver cups -have been donated 
as prizes in addition to the regular medals of 
the association. The tournament will be held 
at the same time that a tennis tournament of 
four or six courts and a track meet are in 
progress on other parts of the large field. Judg¬ 
ing from the attendance at the similar games 
last year, there will be about 2,000 spectators. 
It is unusually fortunate that on the same 
•day the Western archers will be competing in 
the American Olympics at Chicago. Never be¬ 
fore has the rivalry between East and West 
been as keen as it is this year. In the East are 
the two men who respectively hold the American 
record for the York round and the world’s rec- 
■ord for the American round. In the West are 
several men who have almost equalled these rec¬ 
ords in public competition, and one of whom 
bias exceeded them in private, although he has 
never shot in a tournament. 
These two championship matches occurring 
approximately a month before the national tour¬ 
nament in Boston will provide data on which 
the archery actuaries can figure to their hearts’ 
content. Doubtless we will all be assured in 
advance who will be the national winners, 
•whether by points, scores or hits and scores com¬ 
bined. 
The Newton Archers. 
The Newton Archers held their first tour¬ 
nament of the season on their range at the 
Newton Center Playground on Saturday. April 
19, and an indication of the increasing interest 
which is developing in archery is shown by the 
fact that twenty-four archers participated in the 
events. The row of seven targets, all with 
brand new faces, the long lines of archers, and 
the fringe of spectators, gave the scene quite the 
appearance of a national tournament on a small 
scale. 
The Newton Archers have among its mem¬ 
bership several enthusiastic archers who are 
under fourteen years of age, and as it is the 
policy of this club to cater to their interests as 
well as to the interests of the adults, two special 
rounds at short distances were arranged for and 
termed the “junior team round” and the “special 
juvenile round.” The junior team round con¬ 
sists of 96 arrows at 30 yards and special juve¬ 
nile round consists of 24 arrows at 40 yards, 
24 arrows at 30 yards and 24 arrows at 25 
yards. 
The morning was threatening, but in the 
afternoon it cleared, and with the clearing a 
very high wind came up. which at times assumed 
hurricane proportions, and made good scoring 
an impossibility. 
In the morning the men shot the American 
round, the ladies shot the Columbia and the 
children shot the junior team round. In the 
afternoon the men shot the team round, the 
ladies the national round, and the children the 
special juvenile round. The following scores 
were turned in:

There were several archers who did not 
finish the rounds and did not turn in any scores. 
An indication of the increasing interest that 
is being developed in archery in this vicinity 
is shown by the fact that the local arch¬ 
ery club, known as The Newton Archers, 
now has a membership of twenty-two al¬ 
though it was organized only about a month 
ago. One unique feature of the club is that it 
has a s.trong junior department, there being six 
members under eighteen years of age. These 
young archers are just as earnest in their shoot¬ 
ing as the adults, and most of them have been 
drilled in the essential points of target practice, 
so that they handle their bows like veterans. In 
the interest of these junior members two special 
rounds have been adopted for members under 
eighteen years old, one called the junior team 
round, consisting of 96 arrows at 30 yards, and 
one called the special juvenile round consisting 
of 24 arrows at 40 yards, 30 yards and 25 yards, 
respectively. 
On Saturday afternoon, April 26, seventeen 
of The Newton Archers were on their range at 
the Newton Center Playground. Several of them 
were novices, who never drew a bow until this 
spring, and for this reason did not wish to pub¬ 
lish their scores. The others turned in the fol¬ 
lowing scores. It will be noted that some of 
the men shot the double American round, while 
the others shot a 
sin 
gle American 
only.

When we planned for the tournament on 
April 19, I wrote to several archery clubs 
throughout the country, advising them of the 
rounds we planned to shoot on that day, and 
suggesting that it would be a pleasant thing if 
the archers generally would shoot the same 
rounds at the same time, and then send in their 
scores to Forest and Stream for publication. I 
forwarded to Forest and Stream the scores 
made on the Newton Center archery range, but 
too late for publication in the issue of April 26. 
Since then I have received the following scores 
from the secretary of the Chicago Archery Club 
with the request that they be forwarded to 
Forest and Stream for publication. Scores:
