Self Loading Shotgun 
MODEL 1911 
A comparison between the Winchester Self-Loading shot¬ 
gun and other makes is all that is necessary to convince any¬ 
one of the great superiority of the Winchester Self-Loader. 
Note the absence of unsightly screws and pins and of dan¬ 
gerous projecting parts. Note the neat little trigger lock, 
which operates cross-wise and cannot be jarred out of place. 
Take the gun down and note how easily it separates into 
only two parts, without releasing small parts. Note how 
simple is the action, and that the springs are of coiled wire, 
the most durable kind. Then note the general finished 
appearance of the whole gun; and remember that all metal 
parts are made of nickel steel—about twice as strong as that 
used in repeating guns of other makes. The barrel has to 
be pulled back only when starting to shoot, as the recoil 
does the reloading afterwards. The gun is readily used as 
a single loader. No adjustment is required to shoot different 
loads; and no unpleasant effect is felt from the recoil, as it 
is divided in the gun. Made in 1 2 gauge only, and a much 
better shooter than the ordinary gun. Examine one at 
your dealer’s. 
A Gun That Is Unexcelled 
For Duck Shooting :: 
Chesapeake City Gun Club. 
Chesateake City, Md., Aug. 3. —Seventeen gunners 
took part in the events decided to-day on the grounds of 
the Chesapeake City Gun Club. The shoot was not as 
well attended as we would like to see, but those who 
did attend, put in the afternoon doing some good shoot¬ 
ing, considering the wind. One novelty was introduced 
during the sport, which was quail shooting, and N. 
Bouchelle, W. Anants and R. Reese showed their skill 
at this style by breaking straight in the trophy shoot, 
this being the first leg of four. Mr. Chas. Stevens broke 
25 straight. By doing this he adds another spoon to 
his list. Six of the gunners tied for the dessert spoon. 
N. Bouchelle won by breaking 10 straight. Following
