Renovo Toarnament. 
Renovo, Pa., .Sept. 9. — The first annual tournament of the 
Recreation Gun Club, of Renovo, Pa., was held Sept. 8-9. The 
club was unfortunate in drawing dates. It rained all the first day. 
The bad weather kept away many shooters who had expressed 
their intention to be present. 
The club put up a very pretty silver cup, to be contested forj 
by any team of five men, belonging to same club, in the State.; 
The cup to be the absolute property of the winning team. 
The Du Bois, Pa., Gun Club sent a team, and they were the] 
only ones besides the home team that were game enough to goj 
out in the rain and shoot. They won the cup from the Renovo] 
team, the score being: Du Bois 104, Renovo 99. But in view of; 
the fact that Du Bois team has cleaned up all the teams they have 
shot against this fall, it does not reflect any on the Renovo Club. 
This club is a new organization, and they hope by the time they 
hold their next tournament, to have a team that will hold their 
own against any of them.. 
Among the visitors present was Mr. Frank Lawrence, who at- 
tracted considerable attention with the new automatic rifle made' 
by his company, giving a good exhiljition of breaking flying tar-i 
gets with a rifle. ( 
The second day the weather was not so bad, and a delegatiSn of 
shooters from Jersey Shore, Pa., arrived and participated in thei 
different events at live birds and targets. During the afternoon 
about 500 of the town people came out to see the shoot. The club 
has already commenced to arrange for a big shoot next year, and] 
they hope to pick dates when it will not rain.

The Afro- American Trapshooters' League held their monthly 
V shoot on Sept. 7. There was a large turnout, and the participants 
had a good time. Some fair scores were made. The president of 
the League won the State championship. The feature of the 
afternoon was the hooting of Mrs. Armstead. 'With but little 
practice at the traps she is making about as good a showing as 
the men. She uses a 12-gauge gun and stands at the 16yd. mark, 
and there smashes "mud pies." With a little practice, she will be 
likely to win high honors in the shooting line. She is the only 
colored woman shooter known in the West, if not in the United 
States. As the scores will show, she shot at 70 targets and broke 
41. The scores:

Dover Sportsmen's Association. 
DovEH, N. H. — Our seventh annual field shoot, as a day of 
I enjoyment, was as good, if not even better, than any we ever 
j had — not in regard to the number present, but in the character 
[of the assemblage. A\'e bad ladies there, good old colonial stock; 
I many who can trace their lineage back to the sixteenth century. 
A long line of ancestry, graven on the modest slate headstone 
I at the farm, in' the village churchyard, and later on the more pre- 
Itentious monuments that whiten the sod at Pine Hill Cemetery. 
Prudence and Patience, Charity and Ruth, dressed in their best 
Ibil) and tucker, and all smiles and affability, were present. AVe 
I would have had a glorious time without the guns, and even a 
I good shoot without the ladies, for everything woi'ked smoothly. 
To mention all that took place and who were there would take 
I too much space in your paper. We had enough to eat and to 
I spare, even after we had invited all the visitors present to par- 
lake of the lunch. The scores are as follows:

Washburn Tournament, 
Washburn, Wis.— The first annual tournament of the Wash- 
burn Gun Club was held Sept. 7. The attendance was fair, and 
the shooting good. Mr. Fulton was the high man with 144 out of 
160. Then he was followed by Capt. Jack with 138, and Lameraux 
and Marks with 134. The officers of the club feel quite encouraged 
over the crowd that was present, and promise still greater things 
wlien their second annual comes off in 1904. Some of our home 
boys will make a better showing by that time. The scores:

Championship Shoot at Oiney, III. 
At the opening shoot of the Richland county fair, Sept. 9, 
which drew an attendance of 20,000 people, a shoot was given 
under the auspices of the Fair Association and OIney Gun Club. 
The Fair Association awarded four prizes: $25 to high gun, $15 
to second, $10 to third, and $5 to low gun. 
The club awarded a gold medal to high gun, which must be 
defended for one year against Richland county shooters. Targets 
were thrown 50yds. against a stiff wind. The shoot was a big 
feature of the day's programme, bringing a much larger attend- 
ance on the first day of the fair than usual. 
High gun and the medal were won by J. W. Marks, Jr., secre- 
tary of the club, with a score of 23. Scores follow:

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT. 
This is the time of the j'ear when men are considering the 
purchase of new guns. And as there are many of us whose means 
are less ample than our desires, a list of second-hand guns such 
as is published to-day by Messrs. Schoverling, Daly & Gales, will 
appeal to many a man who thinks that now he would like to treat 
himself to a new gun if only he thought he could afford it. In 
this list of second-hand guns there is a wide range of choice, and 
not a few readers may find in it just the arm that they desire, 
and at prices much below what it would be necessary to pay for a 
similar gun if new. It is an interesting list, and we do not doubt 
will be carefully gone over by our shooting readers. 
No subject is more interesting to gunners than the pattern and 
penetration of the arms which they use. Thei-e is thus extreme 
interest, as well as practical value, in the full-page of information 
concerning the pattern and penetration of the Francotte gun 
])rinted on another page, by Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold. 
printed elsewhere by Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold.

less than when it was first published. Wc feel sure that a large 
proportion of our readers will study this material with interest 
and profit.
