appended scores will show. Mr, .John S. Wi-ight, the manager, 
announces that, on Sept. 24, he will hold a tournament, at which 
he will add $17.50 in gold for high averages. The main event will 
have handicap allowances. Shooting commences at 1 o'clock. 
This is a very liberal proposition, and the New York shooters 
should manifest appreciation of attending.

Raleigh Gun CIttb. 
Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 11— We have almost perfected arrange- 
nients for a two days' shoot, and possibly three, the last week 
in October. I cannot say positively just now, but there will not 
be less than $100 added money each day, and we hope to draw 
seventy-five or one hundred good shooters. This will be our second 
annual shoot in October at our State fair, which attracts visitors 
from all over the State, and some outside. We had a very nice 
shoot last year under the able management of Mr. L. D. Thomas, 
and we hope to attract many more shooters this year. Two sets 
of traps will be used, magautrap and expert, 
The following scores were made to-dav, 50 targets each: Whit- 
aker 44, Johnson 43, Parker 43, Pearce 3S', Gray 35, Stark 30, Gallo- 
way 28, Pullen broke 18 out of 25. R, T. Gowan, Sec'y.

G. W. G., Rye, N. Y.— After Oct. 1 will the game laws of Connec- 
ticut permit me to enter that State and kill a few game birds and 
ship the same without the State in a package with its contents 
plainly marked on the outside? Ans. No. If accompanied by 
owner and plainly marked game may be shipped within the State, 
but its export under any condition is forbidden. See Game Laws 
in Brief, July issue, page 68. 
W. O. W., Charlottesville, Va.— Will you kindly tell me what 
kind of a bird this is? Ans. The bird is a black tern (J-Iydrochelidon 
nigra snriiiamcnsis). It is found in summer throughout temperate 
North America, migrating southward in winter to South America, 
as far as Brazil. The specimen sent in is a young bird, the adult 
in summer ijluniage is much darker. Our correspondent may have 
noticed the curious webbing of the feet, which, as Coues says, 
are little more than semi-palmate. These black terns are a sum- 
mer feature of the Western prairie States, where they nest in 
great numbers in marshes along low slow streams and negjr little 
lakes. Their food consists largely of insects. 
PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
At the National Rifle meeting, which was concluded at Sea Girt 
N. J.j Sept. 6. the pistol championship of the United States and 
the pistol re-entry match were won by Mr. Thomas Anderton, of 
Massachusetts. He also won the revolver championship match. 
The revolver re-entry match was won by Mr. C. F. Armstrong, of 
Boston. Mr. Anderton was second. He and Armstrong used 
Peters cartridges. The Schuetzen rifle contests, Match A, on the 
Standard American targets, was won by Dr. W. G. Hudson, of 
New York. One of his tickets of five shots was perfect, a possible 
50. In Match B, on the German ring target, the winner, Mr. 
F. C. Ross, of Chicopee Falls, Mass., made a perfect score of 
75. Hudson and Ross used King's Semi-Smokeless. 
The sportsnien's trunk, manufactured by Crouch & Fitzgerald, 
has one welcome new point. Most trunks open at the top, and so, 
it anything placed at the bottom is needed, the trunk must be 
unpacked. This trunk, however, opens in front, as well, and is 
so subdivided that anything it contains can be reached at once. 
The arrangement not only saves labor, but time and patience as 
well, and whether in tent, log cabin, steamboat or wagon, the articles 
in the trunk are immediately accessible.

The catalogue (1902) of the Remington Arms Company con- 
tains 64 pages of interesting matter, a revised price list, excellent 
illustrations of the many different kinds and grades of shotguns, 
rifles and pistols, parts and extras, manufactured by that com- 
pany. There are a number of sectional views. It also contains 
patterns of shot in circles, illustrating the difference between 
cylinder, modified choke and full choke guns. A table showing 
40, 60, 75 and 100 per cent, of number of pellets in loads of shot 
frosn % to IVzOZ,., is embodied in it. 
The index to the new sporting goods catalogue, recently issued b 
Siegel Cooper Co., of this city, seems to name about everythin- 
needed by the outdoor person, from "air rifles" to "war relics." li 
one reads across the page he sees "snipe calls," "kodaks" aqg 
"hammer shotguns." The catalogue is profusely illustrated on i 
its 116 pages, and will be sent without charge to goy oB(e who
