TOURNAMENT WELD0N-R0AN0KE RAPIDi CL'N CLUB The Weldon-Roanoke Rapids Gun Club Tournament held its first annual shooting match at its club grounds October 25th and 26th; 95 men entering the contest 50 the first day and 45 the second. A number of promi nent men from the States of Geo rgia, Virginia and North Caroli na met in the contest. The Ama atuers for the Tournament held a some' hat higher average than was to be expected; notwith standing the practice of the men had been somewhat limited. The professionals held up to their regular standing, as also the number shooting in the classes A to E. The prizes were so dis tributed that most contestants were winners. Those making first, second and third scores and those making the first, and sec ond low scores. Ideal weather prevailed for both days and the tide of enthus iasm ran high. No one seemed to be in any other spirit than that of the highest type of a true sportsman: especially was this true of the visitors of other clubs. The success of the entire tourna ment on the part of those part icipating is due largely to the good will and friendly attitude which each sustained to the oth er. This of course created a spi rit of Fraternity such as is to be found where men meet on the common plane of acommon inter est. The success with which the Weldon-Roanoke Rapids Gun Club was able to institute the Tournament was brought about by the kindly co-operation of the merchants, manufacturers and other citizens of Roanoke Rapids, Weldon, and other near by towns, and in particular by the mill, of Roanoke Rapids, whose man agment so generously contributed to the support of the club. The Roanoke Rapids Gun Club ex presses its highest appreciation for this kfhd of co-operation on the part of those citizens who con tributed so largely to the success of the Tournament. The Weldon Methodist Circle of the woman's Missionary Society, under the di rection of Mrs. S.B.Pierce, was in charge of the dinners and re freshments, serving the club in their unique way from their tent bootb.es on the club grounds, The club expresses its delight for this management on the part of the ladies, also. No event which has come to Weldon or Roa noke Rapids, from the standpoint of recreation has created a greater sensation at any time. On both days of the Tournament, a large number ot visitors attend ed and were high in their praise of the way everything was con ducted. This Tournament is but the beginning of what is hoped to be a central feature from time to time at the Gun Club Grounds and of a greater inter est in a higher type of recrea tion Buch as is to be found among the people like those of Weldon and Roanoke Rapids, and adja cent communities. The fine co-operation on the part of the citizens such as was manifested in Tournament will make possible other forms of re creation which alike to young and old, will be hailed with enthu siasm; such for example as a well equipped Gun Club Ground, Golf Courses, Tennis Courts and such. The scores, winners of prizes and participants of marks manship for the Tournament just closed are as follows: PROFESSIONAL SCORES TARGETS 300 Moss, E.
