SPORTING INTILLIGANCE.

Saturday se'nnight, the Silver Arrow given by the
Town et Musselburgh, was shot for upon the Links
there, by the Royal, Company of Archers, and gained
by JOHN LEVEN, Esq. W.S. This ancient Arrow
was first gained by the Earl of HADDI Nurox, but the
records of the burgh do not mention the year. The
first year upon record is 1601 ; since then it has been,
with a few exceptions, regularly contended far down
to the present time, and was delivered over to Mr.
LKVEN, having appended to it 125 medals of silver
and five of gold. From the records, it appears that
the number of archers having greatly dimini hed: the
Town, in 1679, to order to obtain a fuller attendance,
agreed to present the successful competitor with a
Silver Bowl, in the form of a mussel-shell. On the
present occasion, the company, after their retarn, sat
down to an entertainment in the house of Mr. Mon
which was prepared in a style that would have done
credit to one of the first taverns in the metropolis ; and
the day was spent with the utmost conviviality. By
the old use and custom of the burgh of Musselburgh,
observed for upwards of two centuries, the Magis-
trates presented the company with as much claret as
could be carried on a coal sieve.
