Boston, Mass., Oct. 16. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: I inclose announcement of the open¬ 
ing of the new archery' range on the Boston Fen¬ 
way, which will be held this coining Saturday. 
The range is within a few minutes’ walk of the 
residential section of Back Bay. 
Boston is the fourth municipality to provide 
a range for archery. Chicago was the first, New¬ 
ton, Mass., the second, Jersey' City the third and 
Boston the fourth. 
It gives me pleasure to hand you herewith 
an article written at my request by H. B. Rich¬ 
ardson, of Boston. 
Let me compliment y'ou on the archery page 
in the last issue of Forest and Stream. It will 
give me pleasure to send you from time to time 
archery notes, and I am sure the other archers 
will be pleased to do so. 
Burton Payne Gray, Sec’y. 
Fenway Archery Club. 
On Thanksgiving day it is planned to have 
a shoot for the Northeastern League medals at 
Fenway Park, Boston. It is hoped to make this 
an annual event. 
Archery in and around Boston has received 
an impetus through the opening of the archery 
field in the Fenway. Almost any pleasant after¬ 
noon those riding or walking in the Fenway in 
the vicinity of Boylston street may see the arch¬ 
ers practicing. 
The idea is that of Wallace Bryant, an en¬ 
thusiastic archer, and one of the best known in 
the country. An artist by profession, archery is 
his recreation. Purely for the love of it he in¬ 
structs classes at Wellesley, Vassar and Smith 
colleges and Cornell University. His brother, 
George Philip Bryant, acknowledged to be the 
best archer in this country, was instructed by 
him. Henry B. Richardson, who has won sev¬ 
eral national championships, also is a pupil of 
Mr. Bryant. 
The club to have use of the field is not yet 
fully organized. It will probably be known as 
the Fenway Archery Club, and is to be limited 
in membership. All members must be residents 
of Boston, but there will be a large associate 
membership of men and women living out of 
the city who yet may have the privileges of the 
field. 
If you want your shoot to be announced 
here, send a notice like the following:

the two tournament days, but on each of the three pre¬ 
ceding days of the fair the sport was indulged in to such 
an extent that on the afternoon of the last day of the 
tournament the program had to be cut short on account

The Spring City Gun Club, headed by those pomilar 
sportsmen Dr. W. S. McDonald and Ross Fishesser, 
kept the three traps going in splendid style, but three 
expert traps, no matter how ably handled, furnished at 
best but erratic targets, and the scores made by this 
enthusiastic bunch of shooters, many of whom were 
shooting in their first tournament, while very creditable 
indeed under the circumstances, it would hardly he fair 
to some to publish so we will only say that the follow¬ 
ing list of thorough sportsmen gave the very best there

Pick-Ups. 
Keith \\ ebb, president of the Mountaineers, of Cliat- 
,'. n , those “good old days.” walked away with 
tile J O high average money, being high amateur for 
both days shooting. 
tt McDonald, of the Spring City Gun Club, and I. 
Ltardie Johnson, president of the Fair Association, are 
certainly a pair hard to beat,” and when they an¬ 
nounced that they would give a big added monev shoot 
next year, it met with general approval on all sides 
and an assurance of a good attendance even at this 
distant date. 
W. F Hall and E. L. Moss, of Knoxville, Tenn., 
and 1 . B. Plummer, of Chattanooga, were the trade 
representatives present, and conducted themselves in a 
manner most cred'table to their respective companies. 
Jo tile latter fell the lot of looking after the cashier’s 
othce, and lending a general supervision to the details 
ot the shoot. 
Mr, J. \\ Barnett, manager of the Hippodrome, 
found time each morning to give a good account of him- 
self at the traps, and the part he took in furnishing at- 
tractions at the fair, met with general approval. 
The Bridgeport, Ala., boys took care of themselves in 
a creditable manner, hut, much to the regret of their 
many friends, were unable to remain over for the second 
day s shooting. 
Frank Spence, that excellent field shot, showed a 
lack of practice at the traps, but he is game and a 
thorough sportsman withal. 
Mr. Oswald Rothe, the “original hear winner,” did 
some good work, and gave a good account of himself 
the first day, and it was a cause of general disappoint¬ 
ment that he was compelled to return ‘home and forego 
the second day’s shooting. 
The Dayton boys showed a lack of practice, but were 
general favorites with the crowd and added greatly to 
the pleasure of the shoot. 
The shooting of Mr. Ingle, of the local club, gives 
promise of real high class work with a little practice. 
His wins of first monev in several of the earlier events 
were very popular indeed. 
Ross Fishesser was too busy looking' after the handl¬ 
ing of the ammunition and other details to give his usual 
good account of himself at the score, but his unselfish 
efforts to add to the pleasure of the shooters present was 
easily in the 100 per cent, class. 
That “old man” Webb can take care of himself goes 
without saying, for in addition to winning high average 
at the traps, he was unanimously chosen to act as judge 
at the Ray Show, and he “got"away with it.” To our 
certain knowledge the “old man” has had little or no 
practice at targets for the past year or more, but he made 
a good judge, all right. A Shooter. 
Monument Beach Gun Club. 
If the folks along the Jersey coast, between the 
Highlands and Long Branch, are disturbed by any un¬ 
usual cannonading within the next few weeks, they need 
not be alarmed. It will not mean that Fort Hancock is 
being attacked by a hostile fleet, nor some stray 12-inch 
shells from the Proving Grounds. We have been re¬ 
quested to notify the clubs of Monmouth county of the 
organization of the Monmouth Beach Gun Club. 
The little borough on the Shrewsbury can boast of 
some crack shots, who are determined to decorate their 
new club house with big trophies this season. 
Organized with fifteen members, they will hold their 
first election and meet on Saturday, Oct. 26. There will 
be a house-warming, and visitors will receive a great 
big welcome.
