Hammerless Repeating Shotgun 
This Model 28, 12 gauge 7/Zar/Jjt shotgun is the finest repeating gun in the 
world. It has every up-to-date feature, perfected far beyond all previous 
standards, and it has exclusive advantages not obtainable in other guns. 
Note these features: Hammerless—Solid Steel 
Breech (inside as well as out)— Solid Top—Side 
Ejection—Matted Barrel (as on our highest grade 
hammer guns) —Press-Button Cartridge Release 
(to remove loaded cartridges quickly from maga¬ 
zine without working through action)— Double 
Extractors — Take-Down Feature—Trigger and 
Hammer Safety. Price, $22.60. 
Our 160 -page Ideal Hand Book tells about re¬ 
loading all cartridges; mailed for 6c. stamps. 
The Model 28 is a fine appearing, beautifully 
balanced gun. without any objectionable humps 
or bumps; its Solid Steel Breech (not a shell of 
wood) permits a thoroughly symmetrical gun 
without sacrificing strength or safety: it is the 
safest breech-loading shotgun ever built. 
Our free circular gives large illustration of gun 
and full description. Our complete 122-page cata¬ 
log of all other 2 ffar//n repeating rifles and shot¬ 
guns mailed for three stamps postage.

KING’S SPORTSMEN’S GLASSES 
are far superior to the old style ambers because they have lenses of Akopoa Crystal 
—a double shade of amber and veridian. The Akopos Crystal eliminates not only 
all the violet but also all the violet and blue rays. Amber glasses are only 50 per cent, 
efficient in this particular and therefore are only worth 50 per cent, of what is charged 
for them. King’s Sportsmen’s Glasses are used and endorsed by such well known 
sportsmen asE. C. Crossman, Lieut. Townsend Whelan and Stewart Edward White. 
The Ohio State Amateur Championship was won by F. W. King, wearing shooting 
glasses of his own design and patent. Write for catalog. 
THE F. W. KING OPTICAL CO. 450 Ellastone Building, Cleveland, Ohio 
Cleveltnd Gun Club. 
Cleveland, O., Aug. 10.—The weekly shoot held 
to-day at Shooting Park, Mayfield road, was the second 
contest of the month given in honor of its working 
members and was known as Rockwell Day. Mr. H. C. 
Rockwell was on hand to look after his friends, and a 
good bunch turned out to take in the sport. A jolly 
crowd came from Akron, O.—the big six with W. C. 
State as bandmaster, and a good one he is. Mr. State 
is a member of the Cleveland Club, lives in Akron, and 
is a busy man. We see him but little; but when he 
does come, he is a shooter from start to finish. He 
says Labor Day will be his next big day at the traps, 
when he takes in the Cleveland Gun Club tournament. 
He says he will bring up the bunch, as he says Cleve¬ 
land shoots are the only ones. Mr. State is a great 
lover of loving cups, and to-day when he saw the beauti¬ 
ful cups that we always have on hand for cup contests, 
nothing would do until a cup contest was arranged for 
at 25 birds, and when the cards were handed in, Mr. 
State’s card was 24 out of 25, and the name of W. C. 
State was placed on the cup and shipped to Akron, O. 
The next shoot in honor of one of our members will 
he held Aug. 17. This contest will be known as Telling 
Day, in honor of Mr. F. O. Telling, one of the old 
stand-bys. Frank says if any of the shooters are look¬ 
ing for something good, just let them attend this shoot 
and they will see a shoot and shooting grounds second 
to none in the country.

Independent Gun Club. 
Easton, Pa., Aug. 10.—Appended are the scores of 
the regular semi-monthly shoot of the Independent Gun 
Club. The day was bad for the sport, the shooting 
being done in a thunderstorm which made the shooting 
anything but easy. But with all that, there was some 
good shooting. This is the first shoot that the club has 
held over its new Ideal Leggett trap which they have 
just installed. 
The next shoot will be held on Aug 24, when a 
large number of shooters are expected. The program 
■will be arranged to suit the shooters. All are welcome 
Lindsty Gun Club. 
Lindisay, Okla., Aug. 10.—Bad, rainy weather all 
week, cut down attendance on Aug. 8 and 9, but a few 
good sports came and made some good scores under the 
circumstances—first day shot in drizzling rain; second 
day, shot against the wind. W. P. Walker and Billy 
Gragg brought their wives along to give them encour¬ 
agement. H. T. Bettis and S. E. Clarkson shot for tar¬ 
gets only. Walker and Reed tied for high gun with 267 
out of 300.
