Preparations are making for a field-meeting ofthe Eastern Archer Association at some time in thecoming season. The readers of Outing will be in-formed of time, place, and other details, when thearrangements have been completed. It is probablethat the meeting will be held in Washington—acity whose archers occupy an honorable place in thehistory of their sport. It is to be hoped that theassociation will be liberal in the matter of entries,not barring any archer of good standing from anypart of the country. The officers of the associationare:—president, E. A. Neresheimer, New YorkArchery Club; vice-president, G. C. Spencer; sec-retary, F. N. Elliott, New York Archery Club; ex-ecutive committee, R. E. MacIlvaine, D. A. Nash,and J. Elliott.

promise of being the greatest meeting in the historyof cycling. There are likely to be a number of ladytricycle riders in the parade, and this will be a veryattractive feature.

The Long Island Wheelmen have elected the fol-lowing officers for 1886: president; Wm. W. Share;vice-president, George W. Mable; treasurer, S. W.Baldwin; secretary, Joseph D. Huggins; captain,Charles H. Luscomb; first lieutenant, F. L. Don-aldson; second lieutenant, G. G. Teller; color-bearer, H. F. Donaldson; first bugler, A. W.Stanley; third lieutenant, E. R. Nichols.

Bedford Cycling Club. At the March meetingenough new members were elected to make the mem-bership the largest in the history of the club. Mr.Fisher, one of the artist members, on the eve ofstarting for California, presented the club an elab-orate banner: upon a background of blue satina pears the crest or monogram of the club, artisticallyilluminated in gilt and oil. Mr. Fisher is one of themost enthusiastic bicycle and tricycle riders in thecity of churches, having three thousand odd miles asa record in 1885. He has taken both his machineswith him on a three months’ sketching and cycletour in Upper and Lower California.

The Philadelphia Cycling Record published itslast number on February 20. Mr. Hart, in his vale-dictory, says: “I feel compelled to take this course,not because the paper has not been profitable, or hasnot been well supported, but because my duties areso arduous and exacting in other mutters that Isimply cannot give to the paper the time and atten-tion it requires in the management of its business.”The Record “will be missed.” It is no longer onour list.

The week’s tournament, which took place at theWashington Rink, Minneapolis, Minn., was madenoteworthy from the fact that it led to some newrecords. The competitor were William M. Wood-side, the Irish champion; Thomas W. Eck, theCanadian professional; Albert Schock, Chicago’sfastest side-wheeler; Fred. Shaw, champion ofDakota; T. M. Hardwick, the Galena, Kan., black-smith, and John W. Snyder, of Faribault, Minn.The first day’s riding accomplished by Woodsidewas wonderful. He broke all the records from the67th to 175th mile, and his first twelve hours’ scorewas 174 miles 7 laps, against the 172-mile record ofJack Prince. But Woodside used himself up in this

second, and ultimately won the race by 32 miles.His score was 923 miles, which is 80 miles more thanLouise Armaindo’s record, 843 miles. The Englishrecord is 1,007 miles, by F. J. Lees. We appendthe official record of the miles ridden each day byeach contestant:

The Elizabeth Wheelmen’s Club record of road-riding for January last shows lively cycling work forthat winter month; the total miles covered being922, reported by twenty-one riders, headed by A.S. Brown, who did 157 miles of the total. Thesecretary reports the year’s record of the club for-1885 as 38,476 miles, with only thirty-nine of theclub reporting. Nineteen of these rode 1,000 milesand over apiece, their aggregate 31,910 miles, mak-ing an average of 1 ,679 miles per man. Thegreatest number of days ridden by one member was262.

Racing continues at New Orleans on fair-weatherdays, Sundays included. The regular meeting ofthe Louisiana Jockey Club, of which Duncan F.Kenner is the president, will begin its meeting onSaturday. April 24 (the day before Easter Sunday),and continue to include April 30. The late Easterthis year is the cause of a serious conflict in the datesof racing meetings. With an early Easter, the meet.

the result is that there will be racing at New Orleans,Memphis, and Nashville on nearly the same dates.The present outlook is that there will be a four-daymeeting at Mobile about the middle of April, to befollowed by meetings nearly as follows:—New Orleans, La. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There will also be racing, during the same months,at Denver and Pueblo, Col., at Salt Lake City,Utah, and probably at Kansas City, Mo.

The meetings in the East do not conflict, with theexception that the Rockaway steeple-chases will bein progress during the meetings at Washington andBaltimore; but as the style of racing materiallydiffers, it will not be to the injury of the associationsnamed.

The weights for the handicaps to be run at theJune meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club werepublished on February 1, and the declarations weredue on February 20. So satisfactory were Mr. Sec-retary Lawrence's efforts that, of the ninety-sixentries for the Suburban, only ten declined theweights; for the Sheepshead Bay, there were thirteendeclarations of the ninety-three entries, while for theBay Ridge only three declared out of sixty-eightentries. Some few bets are reported on the Sub-urban, among which is the backing of Joe Colton(117 pounds) by his owner, Mr. James T.

Business, however,is not likely to be very brisk, in a speculative sense,until the end of April, or early in May.

The sale of Mr. Pierre Lorillard’s racing stable atJobstown, N.J., on February 27, was not only animportant event as far as Mr. Lorillard’s retirementfrom racing was concerned, but the sale, which wasconducted with admirable skill by Colonel S. D.Bruce, was the best ever held in the United States,and has only been excelled in very few instances inEngland, notably by the sale of Lord Falmouth’sracing stable. The day was very cold, but theattendance was large, the sale taking place in theyearling house, which includes a large play-groundunder a glass roof. The result of the sale was asfollows:—

The weather continues so bad in England, withsnow and frost, that training operations in the northhad to be suspended. In the South, the cold was veryintense, and several steeple-chase meetings had to bepostponed. The Grand International Hurdle Raceat Croydon was brought to an issue on the day fixedand resulted in the success of the Duke of Hamilton’ssix-year old horse Bolero, carrying 167 pounds.The distance was two miles and a quarter over ninehurdles. There were twelve starters, of which Mr.Craven’s Caltha, with 153 pounds, was second, andMr. Hungerford’s Xema, with 167 pounds, third.Bolero is American-bred, being by Bonnie Scotlandout of Waltz, and is a full brother to Glidelia. Hewas bought a yearling by Captain W. M. Conner for$5,000, and sold to Mr. J. R. Keene, who sent himto England. At the break-up of the Keene stable,Robert Marsh, trainer for the Duke of Hamilton,bought Bolero, and at once put him to jumping, inwhich he has been fairly successful.

The English racing season, under Jockey Clubrules, began at Lincoln on March 22. The handi-cap feature of the meeting was the LincolnshireHandicap at £20 each, with £1,000 added, runover a straight mile. Mr. H. T. Barklay’s Bendigo,last year’s winner, was the top weight at 133 pounds.Notwithstanding that Poulet’s 119 pounds in 1882 isthe highest weight ever carried by a winner atLincoln, Bendigo was a general favorite, and backedto win a large sum. It was expected that Archerwould ride him. On Thursday, March 25, thescene was changed to Liverpool, where on the 26ththe Grand National Steeple-chase was the fixture.It is a sweepstake at £15 each, with £1,000 added.Distance nearly four miles and a half. As usual thebetting varied very much, but the Newmarket trainedhorse Coronet, at 147 pounds, was the Englishfavorite, with last year’s winner, Roquefort, with 171pounds, the second choice.

The bi-annual trotting congress of the NationalTrotting Association, held at Chicago on February 10and 11, was anything but a love feast. The long-growing dissatisfaction at the way business was con-ducted in the secretary’s office at Hartford, Conn.,took decided shape, and for a time threatened seriousresults. The cause of complaint was that moneypaid in to the secretary, subject to the decisions ofthe Boards of Appeal and Review, is not promptlypaid to claimants and others interested. No mentionof such a fund was made in the secretary andtreasurer’s report, and the question was asked,“How much of such money is in the treasurer’s hands,and why was it not reported?” A long debate on

He says:“I have seen crooked rivers in my day, but neveranything to quite equal the upper St. Johns. Weencountered a bear, and alligators innumerable,while on the river. Deer are plentiful, and webroiled some venison over coals made from wildorange wood. Millions of dead fish lie along theshores of the beautiful Indian River, having beenkilled by the sudden change in the temperature ofthe water during the ‘Florida freeze.’ ”

the rod and gun.Canadian sportsmen, who revel in the use of the

rod and the gun, have become exercised over thegrowth of existing abuses in connection with thereputable pursuit of game fish and birds, and at theannual meetings of their respective organizations,the subject has been already discussed with a viewof obtaining the passage of laws which will remedythe evils complained of. At the meeting of theFish and Game Protective Association of Went-worth County, Ontario, on February 11, the reportof the special committee of the association appointedto take action on the matter of stopping illegal fish-ing, shooting, and trapping, found that quantities ofdeer had been killed out of season, especially by“hounding,” and that the illegal netting of fish hadlargely been indulged in in Burlington Bay and itsinlets. Another question considered was the inju-ries done to prolific trout streams by the sawdust andrubbish from the saw-mills on streams. The offi-cers of the association in question are: Dr. Malloch,president; John I. Mackenzie, John Hall, EdwardTinsley, vice-presidents; Miles Overend, JohnSmith, W. G. Reid, C. E. Torrence, J. C. Mc-Keand, J. C. Goodenough, directors; F. L.Hooper, secretary-treasurer.

James Marstens, of Brooklyn, who has anextensive correspondence with Long Island sports-men, reports wild fowl shooting as “all quiet on theGreat South Bay,” the flocks of wild ducks whichthronged the bay and yielded such sport in Decem-ber and late into January having gone south sincethe bay was frozen over by the cold wave of the pastweek in February. Old fishermen augur from cer-tain signs that the fishing season in the Island bayswill be finer this summer than known for years past.The trout are beginning to be on the lookout forsunny days in March and for tribulation in April.

shooting.The members of the Narrows Island Shooting

Club, Currituch Sound, N.C., had wonderfullyfine canvass-back duck shooting during themonths of January and February. Subsequent tothe big freeze on January 8, an immense flight offowl, including swan, geese, and ducks, occurred, butit was estimated by a very reliable authority, thatnine-tenths of the birds were canvass-backs. Over100 of these fine birds were killed by two guns inone day during the season.

pigeon shooters that ever faced the traps in thiscountry or Europe. In 1872 he won the GrandPrize at Monaco. After his return home he beatall the crack shots of the Jerome and Long Islandgun clubs, including Mr. Howard Jaffray, thefamous shot. Mr. Jaffray had beaten Mr. Lorillardin several matches previously; and would have lost$20,000 if any one had taken his offers, as he feltquite sure of beating him. But all the money hecould invest was $3,500, which was on joint accountwith a well-known Brooklyn gentleman. As it was,Mr. Lorillard only won his last match with Mr.Jaffray by one bird.

Monaco.—The annual pigeon shooting carnivalat Monaco began on Saturday, January 16. Mr.Edgar Murphy represented America.

Mr. Murphy missed his eleventhbird, The London Sportsman’s report of the shootdescribes Mr. Murphy as “a rattling good shot.”The Grand Prix du Casino, the event of the meeting,was begun on the 24th. It is a two-days’ event, con-testants shooting the first day at 5 birds at 26 meters,and on the second, 7 at 27 meters, 3 misses toretire. There were seventy-five competitors. Theweather was cold, with rain. On the first day fourrounds were shot, with twenty-seven contestants,each killing 4, Mr. Murphy’s name not being in thelist; of the others, twenty-nine had each filled 3birds. Of the “foreigners” in best form, theFrench were first and the Italians next. The badform shown by the English shooters is attributed tothe very little shooting now done at the fashionableLondon clubs, pigeon shooting, owing to the oppo-sition of the Princess of Wales, being decidedly up-fashionable. The match was decided the second day,The prize was an object of art and $4,000 added toa sweepstakes of $40 each, and after twenty-eighthad shot off a tie on 12 birds (a clean score). SignorGuidicini won first prize. Lord de Clifford second,M.
