For shooting the swift flying, heavily feathered duck s and 
geese the J/lat/i/i 12-gauge repeating shotgun has no superior. 
This gun is exceedingly strong in construction and yet is not heavy. It is 
bored to throw an excellent pattern with great penetration. The solid top 
keeps out the weather and the brush and twigs of the blind, and the side ejector 
prevents the empty shells from being a nuisance to the shooter. It s the best 
bad weather gun. 
The 7/lar/ill 12-gauge is suited to all fonr.s of bird and trap shooting, 
and for durability, strength and ease of action is unexcelled. Made for both 
black and smokeless powders and for heavy loads . Two separate extractors 
make sure work.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Sept. 3.—The opening shoot of the 
fall season was not very well attended, probably owing 
to the fact that many of the members are still away on 
their vacations, and that it rained quite hard during the 
early part of the shoot. 
Event No. 2 was won by W. I. Soverel on the shoot- 
off, he receiving a year’s subscription to Forest and 
Stream as first prize. 
Event No. 4, 25 targets, gun held below the elbow, was 
tied for by Messrs. Batten and Bush. 
There were also several ties for Event No. 5. Mr. Bat¬ 
ten won hrst prize, Winslow second, and Bush third. 
Event No. 3 was easily won by Mr. Boxall, with the 
only clean score for the day. Score?:
