shoot of the Du Pont Gun Club last Saturday afternoon.

Winchester, breaking 23 out of 25. Dr. S. C. Rumford 
was winner of Class 2 with the same number. William 
G. Wood broke 22, winning in Class 3, while the winner 
of Class 4 was Charles De Feo, with 20 breaks. A fair 
crowd was in attendance, though the rain interfered 
slightly with the sport. 
The scores, at 25 targets, were: H. Winchester 23, 
W. M. Hammond 21, D. D. Poffenberger 18, Isaac

Twenty-First Annual Tournament. 
Sea Girt, N._ J., Sept. 9.—Capt. G. H. Emerson, of 
Ohio, won the Sea-Girt championship match here to-day, 
after a closely fought contest between thirty-three rifle¬ 
men from ten different States and regular service or¬ 
ganizations. Emerson finished with a total of 190 out of 
a possible 200 on the 200, 600, 900 and 1000yd. ranges, 
and it was only because he made the higher score on the 
latter range that he won, for Capt. C. W. Wise journeyed 
all the way from Massachusetts to try to land the trophy 
and he had the same total, but made 46 at 1000yds., as 
compared with Emerson’s 48. Lieut-Col. W. A. Tewes, 
of New Jersey, a resident of Newark, who won the 
match last year, was the third man to-day, being but 
one point behind the leaders, and outranking both of 
them on the 1000yd. range with his score of 49. 
Except for a few of the stars in the match, it was a 
most difficult one to shoot at the 1000yd. stage, as there 
was a mist over the targets, which kept the score for 
every man but six on that range less than 47, which is 
not considered a good showing. There were fifteen 
prizes, all cash but the first, and of these fifteen, five 
were taken by members of the Ohio team, which put up 
the big score of 1096 in the Dryden match yesterday. 
Only two New Jersey men got in on the money—Col. 
Tewes and Major Wm. B. Martin, of the Second Regi¬ 
ment, who got seventh place with 186. The prize winning 
scores were:

In the continuous revolver matches, which have been 
running since the meeting opened, the winners were as 
iollows: 
All-comers’ Military Revolver Match—A. P. Lane, 
401 Caliber Self-Loading Rifle 
This new Winchester five-shot repeater is the finest and 
latest example of progress in gun making. It is reloaded 
by recoil, the repeating as well as the firing mechanism 
being under control of the trigger finger. A bullet fired 
from it strikes a blow of 2038 pounds—force enough to 
topple over the biggest game—penetration enough to 
reach the innermost vital spot. Tho wonderful in 
operation and powerful in execution, this rifle is neither 
complicated in construction nor cumbersome to handle. 
From butt to muzzle it’s a handsome, handy gun. 
Don’t fail to examine one of these rifles 
before taking your next hunting trip.
