May I Tell Yon Where To Go, And What To Take? 
While anywhere in the great outdoors is of benefit to man¬ 
kind, the delightful climate of the Rocky Mountains, the 
fascination of the Western life appeals most strongly to me. 
If you want to go in pursuit of Elk, Mountain Sheep, Mule 
Deer or Bear, I can put you in touch with reliable “game¬ 
getting ’ guides. I will tell you what to take and what not 
to take. I will do this willingly whether you buy your outfit 
from 11s or not. 
Our new book No. 530 tells of Hunting, Fishing and Camping 
Goods for every section—North, South, East and West. 
May I send you a copy?

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 
interested in the argument and took advantage 
of Detroit’s Cadillaqua regatta to make an offer 
which should go far to differentiate between ex¬ 
travagant claim and actual performance. 
Mr. Sludebaker gave a massive sterling 
silver trophy to the motor boat making, during 
the regatta, the fastest flight over the measured 
“Studebaker Mile” course on the Detroit River. 
The event was open to all boats propelled by 
gasolene engines. The name of the winner will 
appear in our next issue. 
The fastest of the world’s motor boats were - 
entered in the Detroit event and conditions were 
ideal for the very best results. 
Carondelet M. B. C. 
St. Louis, Mo., July 20 . —At a meeting held 
last night plans for the second annual motor

Ocean Race. 
New Rochelle, N. Y., July 20 . —Power boat 
skippers seem to be afraid of ocean or other 
races requiring navigation. In the Block Island 
race a few weeks ago only three boats finished, 
while only seven entered. In the ocean race 
from New Rochelle around Long Island, under 
the auspices of the New Rochelle Y. C., held 
to-day, only three boats entered, these being 
C. R. Butler’s Spindrift, Dr. Pederson’s Respite 
and Dr. Geo. W. Van Benschotten’s Plalf Moon. 
These power boats represent the Albany Y. C., 
Columbia Y. C. and Rhode Island Y. C. Re¬ 
spite won, being the only boat to finish the rough 
trip.

No Shortcomings 
The Smith Gun has no shortcomings—not one. The 6 Hunter 
brothers, with inventions, precision, workmanship and experience, 
kept after shot gun shortcomings for 22 years, until they had wiped 
out the last and least important one. 
“6 Times 22 Years Experience” gives the shooter of a Smith 
Gun the fullest possible pleasure in the field, and the maximum 
game in his bag. 
Ask your dealer to show you the new L. C. Smith 20-gauge.
