B. H. palace dona THEY SHOT TO* WIN. Achievements of Potomac Archers at the National Meet. As noled in the brief dispatches of the Asso- ciated Press during the past week our local archers have been striving tovhold their own in the national tournament at Fortress Monroe, Tuesday and Wednesday the disciples of Robin Hood and fair Maid Marian came in by boat and train till a fair fleld of archers was gath- ered at the Hygeia. By the courtesy of the commandant the tar- gets were pitched on the parade ground in the fort, as fine a range ae it has been the good for- tune of the association to shoot upon. The first day brought out the largest field of con- testants and the match at the American round | was sufficiently close to sustain the interest to | the end. This consisted of ninety arrows each | at sixty, fifty and forty yards. But one archer passed the 1,000 mark, L. W. Maxson of this city, who won the championship by a score of 177 hits, 1,041 score. J. W. Anderson, also of "the Potomacs, “stood sec: ond, shooting right up to his practice average, and making 172 hits, 994 score, Dark- ness interrupted the match at the Potomac round, which consists of twenty-four arrows each at 80, 70 and 60 yards. This was finished | early on Thursday morning, M. 0. Howell of ‘incinnati and L: W. Maxson: tieing at 230 points. In shooting off the tie with «x arrows | at each distance, one of the most exciting con- tests of the meet resulted. | At 60 yards Maxson led by two points, At 10 yards Howell wan | three points ahead on total score. At 80 yards the Washington archer caught the sight point | more quickly and won the match by thirteen points. ‘This is the first tie that has occurred | ata national meet since the association was | organized in 1878, The leading event of Thurs- day was the team shoot between the various ¢lubs which compose the association, The ladies of the Walnut Hill Ciub won by default, no other club presenting a ladies’ team. Wyoming and Walnut Hill, Obio, clubs and the P gentlemen present, and after «spi test the Walnut Hill team won by about fifty pointe, ‘The York round, consisting of 144 arrows at 100 vards, 96 arrows at 80 yards and 48 arrows at 60 yards, was begun at the close of the team contest and completed on Friday. On this is based the national championship, and the first part of the match was close, and to the last in- terest was better sustained than has been the case in recent years. Again the first and sec- ond places fell to the lot of local archers, L. W. Maxson winning the championship by 172 hite, | 722 score. J. W. Anderson pushed his score far beyond his practice record, making 147 hite, 27 score. This is an unusual score for a new archer and marks Mr. Anderson, who has been hooting but fourteen months, as one of the best bow hots in the United States, The flight championship was won for the sixth time in succession by L. W. Ma: M N t medal going to Mra, J. Graf of Ivanhoe, Ohio. In each of the indies’ matches Miss M. L. Wil- liams of the Potomacs stood second. The home club also fared well with ,respect to. the range medals, Mr, Anderson winning that at 100 yards and Misd Williams that at sixty yards. The next meet of the association will be held at Chicago in thesummer of 1893. For the coming year John Wilkinson of Chicago was elected president, and J, W. Anderson of this city secretary and treasurer. It is hoped to give an international character to the next meet. — THE ROCKVILLE FAIR. - | Arrangements All Completed for Its Com- ‘mencement—Entries for ‘Different Rockvitie, August 28, 1892.

Engineer Nicholson of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company returned Saturday night from his trip of inspection. The break in the neighborkood of Sharpsburg, which was re- ported to be of a serious naturo, has been found the engineer to be of not much consequence nd ina day or two at the most will be thor- oughly repaired. It was thought at fret that boats would be delayed on their trips at least ten days by this impairment, but the prompt action of the company in sending men _imme- Gintely to the scene has reduced the delay to comparatively nothing. In other respects the canal is doing quite well. A QUIET WEDDING. At the home of Mr. James 8.
