VOL. XII, No. 20. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 17,-1909. PRICE FIVE CENTS ITS FASCINATION INFECTIOUS Archery Party at The Hoiiy Inn En meshes All in Its Net. Men and Women Contest for World's Championship and Glittering Array of Prizes. UESDAY evening's " archery party " at The Holly Inn demonstrated very clearly that the joys of Cupid's existence have been very much exag gerated, and awakened profound respect for the Indian who once lived almost en tirely by the bow and arrow, and sel dom has an evening of informal pleasure .provided more genuine merriment. The music hall was crowded with hotel guests and cottagers and as the fun pro gressed, young and old entered into the spirit of the occasion with zest, the de sire to try bringing all to the firing line sooner or later in spite of most deter mined protests earlier in the evening, for it looked so very easy and proved so very difficult that the fascination was in fectious. Details of arrangements were in the hands of an active committee, all with elaborate titles, including Chief Bow Archer, Mrs. Booth Tarkington of In dianapolis ; Eminent Quiver Bearer, Miss Jessie Thayer of Milwaukee; Grand Scribe, Miss Bernadette Herman of Washington; and Dan Cupids, Mr. Mason Evans of Youngstown, 0., Mr. W. S. Dillon of Fitchburg, Mr. Leslie D. Pierce of Rochester, Vt., and Mr. Her bert L. Jillson of Worcester; not the least interesting of the preliminaries the announcement poster which said much but conveyed little, paying due tribute to Cupid and the Indian. The targets were monster cardboard affairs with large red hearts forjbulls eyes, surrounded by three circles, and scoring 500, 300, 200 and 100 respectively, at which six shots were allowed, and the distance at which the shooting was done so close that at first glance,it would seem that the trick was rather to miss than to hit the target,but the scores of the evening proved that all quick conclusions are in variably deceptive. As for prizes the number was sufficient to bestow honor upon those who did not win rather than upon those who did, and as for classes and events they ranged alljthe way from World's Championship, and matches for experts and novices, down to the team shoot which brought the evening to a close, maintaining interest at high pitch. The first number on the program was the expert event and the results made it necessary for the committee to rearrange its classification before making an an nouncement, when Mr. Arthur Malcolm of Bethlehem, who had not had a bow in his hand since he was a boy, and whom the committee reluctantly placed in and 300, respectively, making a shoot-off, amid breathless silence, necessary ; Mr. Porter scoring 1900 to 900 for his op ponent.
