The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-08-26

This summer the athletic, "open'air" girl
has added several diversions to her
already formidable list that has met
IasNgY with universal approval.
She has revived ancient arts and
games in which laurel crowned Greek Apollos
have won renown and William the Conqueror,
King Alfred and merry DANES of those and later
daye have played with grace and skill.
First and foremost is the royal and ancient
game OF archery
In the days of the early Greeks and Romans
they employed a-chers TO draw the enemy into
action before going to war. The exploits of
Egyptians rivaled those OF the archers of the
Middle Ages.
In the time of Charles II archery was highly
fashionable and popular recreation with all
classes Of society. The "MeIrie Monarch" used
to frequently take part with the ladies and gen.
tlemen of his court in toxophilite meetings.
Queen Catherine likewise displayed great interest
in this fascinating pastime and in the year 1916
she presented silver badge to the Marshal of
the Fraternity OF Royal Archers."
Archery lore is most interesting, but space
forbids further discussion.
ARCHERY OF TODAY
Archery has always enjoyed favor in England
but like most everything else, good and bad, it
falls in oblivion for time to be resurrected in a
blaze of glory. English women OF today well
as their bygone grandaGnts have taken very
keen interest in this pastime of shooting arrows.
They have established clubs and tournaments are
annually played throughout the Kingdom.
We in America have been somewhat slow in
adopting archery, but now it bids fair to be
most as engrossing in its way as bridge with card
players.
1t does not require that strenuous, overheating

A PRACTICAL WORD TO THE PLAYER.
Choose your bow carefully 1t should not bt
too heavy so as to pain your muscles, nor too
light that no strength is required. There is ar
art in choosing bow well in playing tht
game. OF course, you are not going to hit tn
target the first time, practice and trained ey
do this, but some women have peculiar knack o
acquiring the trick OF shooting straight and L

which she at least can "pick up" But the wise
and courteous Japs have produced, we must adj
nit, the most charming hammered women In the
world, and if this is how it has been done then
we cannot pretend that olIr system OF training
maids is better one.
Not for moment should we be prepared to
say that we should like our bonnie American
girls with their healthy love of outdoor life to
spend hours fixing chrysanthemum at this or
that angie, nor should we wish that instead of

enriching their minds by study they should focus
their whole intellect upon the most graceful
method of handing round cups and saying How
do you do?" AT the same time is bound to
acknowledge that 1T would be very much to our
advantage if we took hint from the japanese
system OF female education, and made it an es-
sential part OF every girls training that she
should learn to move with grace to act courteous
ly, to have refined tastes, and TO cultivate that
delightful charm of manner which makes Mimosa

in attending to guests and making their homes

how to entertain with charm and be sweet-na-

their heads with philosophy politics, there

tended, and must be alike in thickness, snnpe
and stiffness. The best shaped arrow is nearly
the same thickness from the pile to the under
end of the feathers, from which it tapers off
slightly to the neck.
ARCHER's PICTURESQUE REGALA.
The archer must provide herself with a draw.
ing glove to protect the fingers of the right hand,
an arm guard made of stout calf, morocco or
other stout leather to shield the left arm from
the stroke of the string after the discharge of
an arrow. A waist belt in which to carry the
arrows when shooting and to which a green cord
tassel for the removal OF dirt from the points of
the discharged arrow. Also an ivory grease pot
containing grease for the drawing fingers of the
glove.
A doesllin glove with the first three fingers tip
ped with smooth, firm calfskin about one and
quarter inches long upon the fingers and having a
strap TO buckle around the wrist is the most ap-
proved style. The quiver is usually made of ia
panned tin and is used to prevent the arrows
from dampness, also in which to keep the re-
serve arrows,
This rejuvennted sport has brought to notice
one of the most novel form Of expert handicraft
in the range Of American Industries.
Remember that archery is a most efficient e1-
ercise for strengthening the muscles of the back,
neck, shoulder and arms and one girl declares
that it took the hollows out of her serawny neck.
DISCUS AND QUOITS.
Discus throwing beloved pastime with
the early Greeks and the men and women in
those days furnished the ideal types for painters
and sculptors, it requires better recommen
dation.
In the unconscious swaying of the body mus
cles brought into play and vitazing effect
is produced that adds bouancy to the whole
body, that follows in the layers endeavor tc
touch or encircle the peg.
Discus is thought to be more graceful than
quot pitching. the position of the body is diff
ferent.
Battledore and Shuttlecock are other games
we played children and also being revived
by fun loving outdoor girls.

fInHnnn's Famous Playhouse Has an
Interesting History.
The history Of the Tacon theater of
Havana Is very interesting. In the
year 1895 Francisco Marty. who was
then the lender Of band Of pirates
which infested the island OF Cuba and
who had price OF $4,000 on his head
was captured and ordered to be put to
death. Seeing there was no hope for
him. he asked leave to see General
Tacon, who was then governor general
of Havana, and told him if Ills life was
spared lie would denounce his entire
band and assist him in Kidding the is
land OF the number of pirates which in
tested 1t at that period. Accordingly
General Tacon gave him two weeks
parole. and inside OF n week Marty had
denounced his fellow pirates and turn
cd them over to the government. For
this service he was pardoncd.
In 1896 Marty asked for the conces-
sion to build national thcater OH the
site Of Parque Central. 1t was granted
to him. General Tacon went further
and allowed him the privilege of the
