BELOW THE FALLS. 
then over an old lumber road, but it was a long 
one, and we had to make several stops. How¬ 
ever, after three miles of it we found some 
more swampy country and a creek one could 
float a boat in. A paddle of about one mile 
brought us to Rock Lake, a fair sized sheet of 
water and quite wild, no signs of houses being 
visible. We crossed the upper end of this only, 
as the outlet is very close to the inlet, and. in 
fact, we almost doubled on our tracks for a 
time at the mouth of the outlet (still the Rock 
River). We found a dam, and then after carry¬ 
ing over that, we came to a small pool and then 
the dry bed of the river once more. As there 
were no trails here along the shore, we decided 
to carry over the boulders, not as easy an under¬ 
taking as it might appear at first glance, as 
when one has a heavy load a slip would very 
likely mean a broken leg or sprained ankle. 
The rest of the day was spent in short paddles 
across pools and carries over dry rapids—that 
is, they had been rapids at high water. We 
lost track of the number we made, and about 
5 130 pitched camp on some fairly high ground 
at the foot of one of them. 
The tent was up and supper being cooked, 
when some one discovered six sticks of dyna¬ 
mite lying on the ground at the foot of a tree, 
.and a further search disclosed the same number 
hanging from another tree; two of those on 
the ground had been partly eaten by some 
animal. We speculated a good deal on how 
they got there, and what they were for, but 
could arrive at no conclusion, though afterward 
we learned they were left by lumbermen, who 
used them to blow out the log jams. 
After supper George tried his luck at fish¬ 
ing, but without success, though a deep pool at 
the foot of the rocks looked a good place for 
bass. All hands turned in early, but before we 
got to sleep we heard sounds of some animal 
moving through the woods quite close to camp 
and very close to the dynamite. We all lay quiet, 
hoping to get a sight of it, though personally 
I was wondering if it was going to eat some 
more of the explosive, and if so, hoping it 
would not chew it very hard. After a short

ANCIENT SCORTON ARROW, SEPT. IO. 
The 239th annual meeting. This is an un¬ 
usual contest. The shooting is at 100 yards, two 
arrows at an end. The competition lasts two 
hours in the forenoon and two hours in the 
afternoon, no fixed number of arrows being shot, 
though the average is usually about 160. 
C. E. Cadman made 64 hits, 250 score. 
Spencer Madan was second with 61 hits, score 
225. The highest score made in recent years 
was by T. H. Langford-Sainsbury in 1910 when 
he scored 78 hits, score 302, having shot 142 
arrows. 
In reporting the competition for the Ancient 
Scorton Arrow for 1908, Colonel Walrond, in 
the Archer’s Register says: “For the first time, 
as far as can be gathered from the minutes, an 
American joined in the shooting, in the person 
of H. B. Richardson, the U. S. A. champion. 
Mr. Richardson shot in great form and made 
the highest hits and score that has ever been 
recorded at this meeting. The day was a most 
delightful one for the sport. Mr. Richardson 
made 102 hits, 452 score.” 
Chicago Archery Club. 
As a result of a challenge issued by the Chi¬ 
cago Archery Club to the Newton (Mass.) Club- 
each club to shoot on its own range—the scores 
of the highest four members being selected as 
the score of the team, the Newton Club shot its 
event Saturday, Sept. 21, 1912, on the range on 
the Newton Centre playground. The weather 
was cold, damp with a strong northeast wind and 
unfavorable to making large scores. The Chi¬ 
cago team shot on Sunday, making 132 points 
less, and scores follow. The round consisted of 
96 arrows at 60 yards. 
G. P. Bryant scored a clean slate with 96 
hits, and a total of 546 points; H. B. Richard¬ 
son, 95 hits, 513 points; Ellis Spear, Jr., 77 hits, 
369 points; B. P. Gray, 77 hits, 347 points. The 
score of the quartette was 345 hits for 1,775 
points.
