Smith Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., July 27.—Good scores were made to¬ 
day at the Smith Gun Club traps. Sweepstakes were 
popular. Four interesting 25-bird matches were shot be¬ 
tween Dr. C. Moeller and G. W. Naugle. In the first 
the men tied, each breaking 20 birds. The second 
match also came out a tie, each man breaking 22. Dr. 
Moeller took the lead in the third by smashing 22 
against 18 by his opponent. The fourth match was also 
won by Dr. Moeller by the score of 21 to 20, giving him 
a decisive victory in the series. 
Considerable interest was also aroused over a match 
between J. W. Riley and E. Leslie, which was won by 
the former by the score of 20 against 11, out of the 
possible 25.

YACHTING NOTES. 
Beverly Y. C. 
Boston, Mass., July 23. —Editor Forest and 
Stream: I send you with this the reports of 
our races this year, commencing with the four 
hundred and sixty-ninth regatta on the 15th of 
June up to and including the four hundred and 
seventy-sixth regatta on the 20th of July. 
It is a pleasure to note that the events have 
been well attended, and that the racing is ex¬ 
cellent. The new class of 15-footers has been 
well represented each day since their arrival in 
the bay. The boats have demonstrated them¬ 
selves to be slightly better than the old Herre- 
shoff boats, particularly off the wind. They were 
built in Boston by George Lawley & Sons Cor¬ 
poration, and towed around the Cape.

PARKER GUNS 
Wear Well, Shoot Well and Handle Well 
Wear well because they are made of the best material by the most skillful craftsmen. 
Shoot well because they hold the charge compactly together at extreme ranges. 
Handle well because the greatest attention has always been paid to the distribution 
of wood and metal, to insure perfect balance and the most symmetrical outline. 
Twenty-bore Parkers have set the pace for small bores in America, and are growing 
in popularity every year with the most progressive sportsmen.

pushed back over the L-shaped ends of the Sears (No. 5) completely blocks them, making 
accidental discharge absolutely impossible. Every Davis Hammerless Gun has the Safety

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.
