Sunbury Tournament. 
Sunbury, Pa.—This was a very successful tournament,

The weather was extremely hot. On the second day 
a bad cross-wind was blowing causing a big variety of 
target flights. 
The office was in charge of L. R. Lewis, of the Du 
Pont Co., assisted by Mr. H. N. Brosius, secretary of the 
club, who hustled squads and w ; as generally busy. The 
other trade representatives were Mr. Skid, of the U 
M. C. Co.; Hawkins, of the Winchester Co.; Apgar of 
the Peters Co.; Glover, of J. H. Lau & Co. Mr. Meis- 
winkle, a salesman for the Du Pont Co., also made him- 
selt generally useful. Hawkins was high for the two 
days with 346 out of 360.

ge Co., was 
Independent Gun Club. 
Holmesburg Junction, Pa., July 11.—In the open 
amateur event of the club shoot to-day, there were 
twenty-two contestants, many of whom were men of high 
skill. Mooney, with a handicap distance of 18yds. and 4 
added targets, led all the rest with his total of 93. Pratt, 
an expert, also scored 93. The conditions of the shoot 
■were 100 targets per man, a handicap and added birds. 
Three spoons were also offered the high men in the 90, 
80 and 75 per cent, class. 
The weather conditions favored the gunners. W. H. 
Wolstencroft, who was not eligible for the prizes, did 
the best shooting of the day, finishing with a scratch 
score of 93 from a 16yd. rise. Felix finished second with 
92, followed by Marcy with 91, and Wicks with 90. 
Mooney, besides getting a leg on the trophy, also cap¬ 
tured the spoon offered for the 90 per cent, class. Mc¬ 
Carty landed the 80 per cent, spoon and Firth the 75 
per cent, prize. 
The August shoot will decide the trophy, and those 
who have the best chances to land it are Mooney, Pratt, 
Tansey, Marcy, Wickes, Felix, Sanford and Lockwood.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C July 13,-The Analostan Gun 
11.1 ’ °L r tllIS Clt y> Fad a very warm afternoon on the 
lltb. However, twenty-four shooters were on the 
grounds. The hot weather seemed to affect the traps as 
weH as the shooters, and they worked abominably. 
-No- 2 threw the targets out of sight, and No. 1 broke 
more than was shot at by the contestants. Low scores 
resulted. Farnham was high man again in the club 
shoot with Dr. Stine, one of the new shooters, a close 
second. Hunter did well for the afternoon, and Dr. Barr 
held up his end. Several new members tried their luck.

Englewood, N. J., July 11. —Thirty-one shooters and 
about two hundred visitors were at the grounds this 
afternoon. Conspicuous among the visitors was a large 
delegation of ladies, who came to witness the exhibition 
shoot and demonstration by Annie Oakley (Mrs. Frank 
Butler). And to say that all were well pleased with the 
performance is putting it^ very mildly. Although both¬ 
ered somewhat by the bright sunlight against the light 
objects at which she was shooting, and also by the ex¬ 
cessive heat, she performed her various feats with ac¬ 
curacy and was loudly applauded.

naWi A nM I rifl T0N ’ Pi' C ” PP U -— In one month the great 
ran °e it famn pf wll L^ 111 Progress on the beautiful 
T at ]^e at Camp Perry, Ohio. Lying on the banks of 
pH CPvP across fr °m Put-In-Bay, adjacent to Sandusky 
and within easy reach of Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit 
Camp Perry is the most accessible of all large rifle 
thefP’ ? h v! Ch f r Ct - augurs wel1 fo r the attendance on

KrfcA w i make * "Si, 
It is assured that these matches will be the largest in 
point of attendance ever held in this country, aifd pe£ 
haps will be the best of the national matches to be held 
f - east J°r some years to come. Indications point to a 
ange m the method of determining such contests. It 
is represented that the attendance on these matches is 
so targe as to necessitate from two to three weeks’ 
shooting, of which ten days are devoted to the national 
matches alone. Many shooters are unable to take this 
rL°r her t WIth i that nece , s sary for home practice and 
competitions for places on the teams. The question of 
expense is also entering largely into the calculations of 
the Mate authorities It costs some of the States as 
much as $5,000 to _ fit out a team and send it to the 
national match, which is a very considerable item to the 
smaller States, especially when they are trying to buv 
and equip ranges of their own out of the appropriation 
for rifle practice. Accordingly, the project of dividing 
the country into districts and having district competitions 
;*i + T 6 grea u .m eet mg;, is being seriously consid- 
ered, with the possibility of being finally approved. The 
winning teams could then be brought together at some 
central point and a national competition held. Under this 
plan the smaller and weaker states, which have no chance 
to land a prize in the national competitions, would be 
saved much expense, and the time consumed would be 
considerably shortened. 
The principal match at Camp Perry will of course be 
the national team match, for which Congress has pro¬ 
vided the trophy. It is for teams of twelve, open to the 
Army (2), Navy, Marine Corps, Military and Naval 
acaidemies, and the National Guard of the various States 
and territories, including the District of Columbia. In 
this match there will probably be forty entries. The 
second team receives the famous Hilton trophy, and the 
third the Soldier of _ Marathon, while there are six cash 
prizes for the six highest teams. Each member of the 
winning team receives a - medal. Next in importance are 
the national individual rifle and the national pistol 
matches, in both of which there are a number of cash 
and medal prizes. Last year there were 648 competitors 
m the individual rifle and 250 in the pistol match, and 
more are expected to enter this year. 
Of the National Rifle Association matches the most 
important is the regimental team match, in which there 
were forty-seven teams entered last year. The first prize 
m matc F ' s a handsome championship trophy, valued 
at $oU0. It has been won twice by the Sixth Regiment 
Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and if this team is 
again victorious, the trophy becomes its property. Next 
ln . interest is the company team match, in which the 
prizes are cash and medals. Of the individual matches 
it is difficult to determine which is the most interesting, 
the Leech cup, the Wimbledon cup, or the President’s 
match. They are shot under different conditions, the 
Leech cup match being seven record shots at 800, 900 
and l,0C0yds., and the W imbledon cup, 20 record shots

thing from the skirmish to the 1,000yd. stage. Both the 
Leech and Wimbledon cups are historic, and the winner 
of the President’s match receives an autograph letter 
from the President, in addition to a substantial cash 
P nze - There are medals and cash prizes in each match.

regimental skirmish match, open to teams of six. When 
won twice the beautiful silver trophy becomes the property 
of the winning team. Last year this match had fifty-one 
entries. Other N. R. A. matches are the interclub match, 
life members’ match, State secretaries’ match and the 
press match. There is also a championship revolver
