Rector of that village. Some of the ladies evinced much adroitness in the management of their bow; and if the more subtle arrows they are in the practice of directing acquire. as great a certainty of aim as those employed in theleld, it would be very hazardous to trust too much so their eyes. A very handsome cold collation was served op in a large contiguous outbuilding, and daociag and music closed the day's entertainments. The English were always famous for their skill in archery, which was greatly encouraged by their various Monarcba;— In the reign of EDWARD IV. an Act was made that every man should have a bow of his own height, made of 70e, hazel, ash, &c. and mounds dearth were made in evollownship,for the inhabitants to practice archery.. These were called butts, or butt gardens. One al the suburbs of London is from this cause still called New 'nen Butts, and there are now parts of the roads at Milverton and Ilminster called Buns-ways.
