Never Shakes Your Confidence 
D ON’T let your long planned hunting trip be 
spoiled—spoiled by your gun not rising to 
the occasion at some critical moment. And you 
know how the shortcomings of your gun always 
show up at the critical moment. 
After that your confidence is gone. 
The six Hunter brothers have kept on the trail 
of shotgun shortcomings with invention, workman¬ 
ship and Purpose, for 22 years. 
The result is the Smith Gun, the gun without 
a single shortcoming to mar the pleasure of the 
hunting trip or cheat the game bag of a single bird. 
Purpose got rid of “shooting loose’’ by producing 
the Smith bolt, which double - wedges through 
extension rib and grips tight with a double rotary grip. 
Purpose eliminated inaccessibility —which causes a 
gun owner to leave his lock uncleaned until it causes 
trouble—with the Smith “one-screw access.” And 
so on through the list. 
Have your dealer show you the new Smith 20 
gauge —20 gauge from butt to muzzle. Write for 
catalog, showing grades from $25 net to $1 500 list. 
$102.50 grade, 
price , with ejector , only j 
with Hunter One-Trigger , $100 net.

“6 Times 22 Years’ Experience” 
HUNTER ARMS COMPANY, 76 Hubbard Street, FULTON, 
NEW YORK 
( Patented. Feb. 20, 1912.) 
SPORTSMEN’S GLASSES REVOLUTIONIZED 
by our new Akopos Crystal lense—a double shade of amber and veridian, and our own 
exclusive product—far superior to the old style, obsolete amber lense. The Akopos 
Crystal eliminates not only all the ultra violet rays, but also all the violet and blue 
rays which are so irritating to the eye. 
The amber lense is less than 50 per cent, efficient, because it cuts out only part of 
the ultra violet and does not affect the latter two. 
Before buying a field glass or binocular, it will pay you to communicate with us. 
THE F. W. KING OPTICAL CO. 450 Ellastone Building, Cleveland, Ohio 
pleted and the special event of 25 doubles was well

driven to cover. The entire program was completed, 
however, later on.

the men of the professional class by making a score of 
148 out of a possible 150 targets. J. D. Elliott, of New

was third with 145. 
C. F. Lambert, of Buffalo, secretary and treasurer of 
the New York State Sportsmen’s Association, and presi¬ 
dent of the Audubon Gun Club, of Buffalo, was at his 
best, and opened the eyes of the other shooters by mak¬ 
ing a run of 92 targets straight. The Audubon Club 
team was composed of Messrs. Lambert, Covert, Eb- 
berts, Rogers and Ward. Lambert made a total of 
141, Covert 140, Rogers 135, Ebberts 118, Ward 136. 
Fred G. Bills, of Chicago, was high gun for the day 
in the professional class, breaking 147 out of a possible 
150. Mrs. Topperwein was-second with 146, and J. M.

Third Day, July 11. 
C. D. Henline, of the Bradford Gun Club, won the 
seventh Eastern Handicap of the Interstate Association, 
which came to an end this evening. T. J. Wallis, of 
Sharon, Pa., shooting from 16yds., and C. D. Henline 
and F. Korner, of this city, each shooting at 20yds., 
tied with a score of 96 out of a possible 100 targets. In 
the shoot-off, Mr. Ilenline made a whirlwind finish, 
breaking 19 targets out of a possible 20 targets. He 
dropped the 13th target. Mr. Wallis made 18 out of 20 
and Korner broke 16 out of 20. 
In the Eastern Handicap there were 160 entrants, 
and the rain that fell copiously at times during the after¬ 
noon interrupted the sport and caused it to be late 
before the big event was finished. 
The high amateur tor the tournament was George 
Volk, of Toledo, O., who scored 388 out of a possible 
400 targets. C. G. Spencer, of St. Louis, Mo., made the 
longest run of the three days, with 162 without a miss. 
In the regular events the third day, five events of 
20 targets each, a total of 100, Lester German and 
George Maxwell broke 100 targets straight. Both men 
are in the professional class. Dr. Vanderhoof, of Wat¬ 
kins, N. Y., and Carl Moore, of Brownsville, Pa., each 
broke a total of 99 out of a possible 100 targets. 
The remarkable scores made were the topic of con¬ 
versation on the streets and in the hotel lobbies. The 
shooters were of the opinion that the atmospheric con¬ 
ditions had been in their favor. There was a mellow 
light, and the targets are more easily seen, they claim. 
Yesterday was a remarkable day in the history of 
trap shooting. In the morning 140 entrants shooting 
from the 16yd. firing line, made scores which averaged 
92.89 per cent. 
The work at the traps by George Maxwell, of Has¬ 
tings, Neb., was considered wonderful. Of 400 regular 
targets, he lost but 8 , making a total of 392. He is a 
one-armed man. 
During the tournament, thirty-one of the amateurs 
broke better than 92.5 per cent, of the 400 targets at the 
lfiyd. line; 84,380 targets were thrown during the tour¬ 
nament. 
The Bradford Gun Club’s manner of conducting the 
tournament was highly praised. 
The handicap committee was composed of C. F. 
Lambert, Buffalo. N. Y.; C. C. Irwin, Pittsburgh, Pa.; 
J. G. Martin, Harrisburg, Pa.; F. M. Edwards, Colum¬ 
bus, O., and L. E. Mallory, Jr., Bradford, Pa. 
Ideal-Leggett traps and bluerock targets were used. 
Mr. C. A. North, of Cleveland, O., was in charge of the 
traps, and kept them in first-class shape during the en¬ 
tire tournament. The even flight of the targets and 
smooth working of the traps came in for much praise 
from the contestants. The scores of the third day 
follow: 
Five 20-target events, shot to-day, had scores as fol¬ 
lows:
