After a few years (in 1836) this was changed to a single-breasted frock coat with standing collar, of drap d'ete Lincoln green in color, and trimmed with gold lace, with a gold arrow worked on the collar ; a straw hat covered with the same material, and turned up on the left side with three black ostrich feathers couchant ; white panta- loons, guard and belt of black patent-leather, with a large gold buckle ; from the belt depended grease-box and tassel. This was a very prett}', picturesque, an...d appropriate dress, as "Hard by the shady greenwood tree • The merry, merry archers roamed." Digitized by VjOOQIC At the meetings for shooting the targets were arranged in pairs, facing one another at the distance of eighty yards. The archers were drawn up in line, and at the command of the captain strung their bows. They then in turn advanced a short distance in front of the target and shot three arrows. After all had finished the line was again formed and the archers marched en eghelon to the other targets, when the captain of the target marked the hits and the shooters picked up their arrows and shot back to the other targets, thus making "one round." Seven rounds were shot and then a recess taken, after which seven rounds more were shot, and the cap- tain added up the hits and values and announced the result.
