Brownsville, Oct. 12. — Four members of the Brownsville Rod 
and Gun Club attended the target tournament of the Masontown 
Gun Club at Masontown, Pa., Oct. 10. The programme called 
for two days, 175 targets each day. Owing to poor attendance, the 
first day, due no doubt to dates conflicting with Ligonier tourna- 
ment, it was decided to cancel second day’s programme. B. D.

Rifle Notes, LL 
A new rapid-fire gun has recently been invented by an in- 
genious Dane by the name of. Rexer. The gun has been called 
from its originator. The Rexer is, in reality, a large musket. In 
size it is rather small for a' gun. It can be strapped to the,- saddle 
of an artillery horse, and in service each gunner is provided with 
a second horse, which is loaded with eight thousand cartridges. 
The movement of the Rexer is automatic. It is believed to be a 
perfect firearm of its kind, and the heads of artillery look to it to de- 
throne guns now being used by all armies. With the Rexer it is 
possible to discharge shots at the rate of 300 a minute.— Shooting-

The tournaments at Broken Bow, Hyannis and Alliance, situated 
in a choice part of the chicken country of Nebraska, were enjoy- 
able gatherings to the shooters present. The visitors, as indi- 
cated by the reports, were entertained with all the lavish hospi- 
tality bestowed on visiting princes. 
The Crescent Athletic Club began their fall and winter season 
on the grounds of their country house at Bay Ridge, L. I., on 
Saturday of last week. Delightful weather favored this opening 
shoot. The monthly cup shoots will begin on the first Saturday 
in November. Mr. T. W. Stake will place in competition a 
Sauer gun for a series of shoots. 
Capt. C. G. Blandford informs us that “On Thursday night, 
Oct. 12, the Ossining Gun Club held a ‘Dutch’ supper at the 
Weskora Hotel. There were fifty members and guests present. 
The affair was a success in every way, but the scores in the 
bowling team matches proved that men could be good shots and 
at the same time notoriously bad bowlers.” 
At the tournament of the Indianapolis, Ind., Gun Club, Oct. 
9 and 10, the English Hotel cup was won by Mr. A. S. Flynn, of 
Wabash, with the excellent score of 97 out of 100. High pro- 
fessional average for the two days was made by Mr. L. H. Reid, 
with 392 out of 400, a 98 per cent, performance for the two days. 
Of the amateurs, Mr. Flynn was high with 376.

The material improvement in the skill of the Crescent Athletic 
Club shooters is manifested in the October handicap allowances 
determined by the handicap committee. There are four members, 
Messrs. Ed. Banks, H. M. Brigham, L. M. Palmer, Jr., J. S. S. 
Remson, who are scratch competitors, and several others have such 
sn;all allowances that they are but a narrow remove from scratch. 
There are seventy-six shooters on the handicap list, of whom 
several are new in the club’s competition. All scores, other than 
practice, during the season will be counted in the averages. If a 
shooter withdraws from an event, the targets not shot at therein 
-will be scored as lost. Orders for prizes must be used within sixty 
days. Ten per cent, of the entrance will be deducted for trapping 
expenses, etc.

The renowned and popular trapshooter Mr. Hood Waters, of 
Baltimore, Md., has succumbed to the charms of a lovely woman, 
and was married in Richmond, Va., on Oct. 11. This event will 
evoke the heartfelt wishes of his hosts of friends for life-long 
happiness. The following excerpt descriptive of the wedding is 
from the American: “Much interest is felt in Baltimore society 
in the wedding of Mrs. Magaret Baer Davis, of New York city, to 
Mr. Hood Waters, “of Baltimore. The ceremony was performed 
in the green drawing room of the Jefferson Hotel, Richmond, V’a., 
at 6 P. M. on Wednesday last, the Rev. Dr. George M. Spooner, 
of Broad Street Methodist Church, and Rev. Dr. W. E. Evans, of 
Monumental Episcopal Church, Richmond, Va., officiating. Mrs. 
Davis is an authoress and a contributor to many of the leading 
American magazines, who has been carrying on her literary 
work in New York city, though she is of Southern birth, and 
nearly connected with many of the leading families of the South. 
Mr. Waters is the son of the late Rev. Zadoc Magruder Waters of 
Carroll county, a member of the well-known Waters family of 
Montgomery county, and on the maternal side descended from the 
Woods, Howard and Norths, of Maryland. He belongs to several 
of the athletic and sporting clubs of Baltimore. The drav/ing 
room decorations at the Jefferson were in palms and roses. Jar- 
della’s orchestra played the wedding chorus from “Lohengrin,” 
and during the marriage service Rubinstein’s ‘Thou Art Like 
Unto a Flower.’ The celebration was very quiet, in accordance 
with the v/ish of Mrs. Davis, and without attendants. The bride 
was exquisitely gowned in an imported Parisian creation of pink 
lavender Florentine silk, made en princesse, embroidered in 
orchids and trimmed in point lace. She wore a Gainsborough 
bat of lavender chiffon, velvet and tulle, with willow plumes; and 
carried a magnificent coronation bouquet of purple, orchids. Mr. 
and Mrs. Waters left on the 8:06 train the same evening for the 
North, and will spend the month of November in New York, and 
later will make their home at 1626 Harlem avenue. Among the 
wedding guests were Dr. and Mrs. G. M. D. Canbrell, of Little 
Rock, Ark.; Mr. Charles Atwell Fricker, of Americus, Ga., rela- 
tives of the bride; Capt. Frank De Witt Ramsey, of Washington, 
D. C. ; Miss Waters, of Baltimore, sister of the groom; Mr. and 
Mrs. Franklin Stearns, Miss Daisy Dickinson and Miss Mar- 
garet Stringfellow', of Richmond.”
