FOREST AND STREAM 
July 13, 1912 
Y OU know mallards —wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefever. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer ©f any $50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Si,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.

Ch. Duchess Chica de Doberman. 
A. K. C. 137826. 
This well-known Doberman-Pinscher after 
her successful show career in the East has been 
recently sold by the Doberman Kennels, of 
Rochester, N. Y., to Dr. Will H. Potter, of 
Kootenai, Idaho. She was bred prior to ship¬ 
ment to the recently imported “Weddo von Eich- 
thal” and is now weaning a fine litter of pups 
in her far Western home, thus affording a chance 
to Western dog lovers to get a pup from the 
best possible strains in their own section. As a 
mate for the future the doctor purchased Dober¬ 
man Dorussia, another winner. This is by experts 
considered to be one of the best American bred 
dogs of the breed ever produced. He is champion 
bred on both sire’s and dam’s side, his sire being 
the now dead champion Bertel Doberman, his 
dam the famous champion Hertha Doberman. 
Ontario Bench Show. 
The Kennel Club of London, Ontario, will 
hold its annual bench show on Sept. 10 to 13 at 
the same time the Western Fair is held. Charles 
H. Mason, of Port Washington, L. I., one of 
the first of the cocker spaniel breeders, will 
judge all breds except the Boston terriers. Wil¬ 
liam Austin, of Toronto, will have these under 
his direction. 
New Kennel Club to Hold Show. 
A rumor is afloat that as a consequence of 
the forming of the new kennel club, a bench 
show will be held at Red Bank, N. J., in the 
near future. 
YACHTING NOTES. 
New York Y. C. 
Twenty-two yachts in the New York Y. C. 
race for Glen Cove cups last Saturday crossed 
the starting line. An eight knot south by west 
breeze gave the yachts some good light weather 
work over the courses of 23^ and i 8J4 miles 
selected for the two divisions, and running, 
reaching and beating were provided for, but not 
enough of the last to enable the Class M sloop 
Medora to hold her own with the K class sloops, 
and on corrected time the Istalena defeated her 
by iin. 35s. 
It was a great day for Istalena as regards 
the other boats of her own class as well, for 
she defeated Aurora by 4m. 44s. and Winsome 
by 5m. 32s. 
The warning signal was set on the commit¬ 
tee boat at noon, and at a quarter past twelve 
that for the three big single stickers. Aurora, 
with Cornelius Vanderbilt at the wheel, obtained 
the windward position, with Istalena close under 
her lee, and Winsome, handled by Frank Bowne 
Jones, got away at the leeward end of the line. 
All broke out ballooners as they started on a 
broad reach for the first mark off Woolsey’s 
reef. Two minutes later the new Medora started 
all alone. 
Three of the Class P sloops, Corinthian, 
Cara Mia and Windward, with the first in the 
weather berth and the last well to leeward, were 
next to get away, but their start was not an ex¬ 
citing one, and Windward, though to leeward, 
had all the best of it. 
Five minutes later, when ten of the popu¬ 
lar New York Y. C. thirties were sent away to 
a fine start, Joyant, which had not arrived in 
time, crossed the starting line from the eastward, 
went about and started after the other Class P 
boats. 
The smaller yachts set their spinnakers as 
they made for their first mark, the buoy off 
Matinicock Point. The little schooners, four in 
all, followed the example of the small sloops, 
when they were started at twenty-five minutes 
of one o’clock. 
The 65-footers, having rounded the first 
mark, had a leg of windward work to the Lloyd’s 
Neck spar buoy, and then followed a close reach

until Matinicock was rounded, when another 
short leg of weather work was provided as a 
wind-up of the day’s work. 
By the time Istalena had rounded Matini¬ 
cock, she had a good lead over her competitors 
and was enabled to cover the last leg without 
splitting tacks as often as the others, thereby 
gaining considerable time in the beat to the 
finish. 
The second mark for the smaller yachts was 
the buoy off Parsonage Point, and then came 
the windward leg. The smaller yachts of the 
various classes, especially the New York thirties, 
kept close together throughout the two rounds 
of the triangular course selected for them, and
