THE BLACK SHELLS 
Our free book on shells contains much practical and 
useful information about modern improvements in am¬ 
munition. Write for it. 
Here are some things it will tell you about: 
Modern Construction —THE BLACK SHELLS 
have a solid brass head, no battery cup, no crevices 
through which the gases of explosion are wasted through 
leaking backward. 
Waterproofing— THE BLACK SHELLS are better 
waterproofed even than our famous old CLIMAX shells. 
You know how strong a claim that is. 
Modern Crimping —THE BLACK SHELLS arc 
crimped with exceeding firmness and smoothness. They 
work through an automatic or pump gun as though they 
were greased. 
The finest new thing in 20 years of ammunition history 
is our Non-Mercuric Primer. It sets new standards of 
uniformity and speed. Don't fail to read the paragraphs 
upon this subject in the book. 
Our Flash Passage is double the ordinary size—allow¬ 
ing twice as much of the primer flame to rush directly 
into the main charge. 
Any one of these modernisms is enough to make the 
reputation of a shell. Think of getting all five combined 
together. Try the shells. Send for book. There are 
three classes of THE BLACK SHELLS: 
ROMAX, a black powder shell with 5/16-in. brass. 
CLIMAX, the most popular smokeless (both dense 
and bulk) shell made (%-in. brass). 
AJAX, is the highest grade smokeless (both bulk and 
dense) shell made. Has a long one-inch brass.

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.

“TheGun that Blocks the Sears*’ ^ ^ Grades 
See how the Safety-bar (No. 4) when 
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 
that “Blocks the Sears’’. It is a Safe “Safety”.

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 6. —On the new grounds 
of the Atlantic City Gun Club a special match was^ shot 
this afternoon, which resulted in a victory for Springer, 
only after a great piece of shooting. Up to the 50th tar¬ 
get Johnson led with 2 targets. On the third frame 
both men broke 24, leaving Johnson still in the lead by 
2. In the fourth frame, Johnson missed his 7th and 13th 
targets, while Springer with a great spurt broke his 
siring straight, making a tie on the 100 of 93 each. 
On the shoot-off at 25 targets, Johnson dropped his 
third bird, while Springer again broke the 25 straight, 
which won for him the purse of $ 1,000 by the narrow 
margin of 1 target. The shoot was the most beautiful 
race witnessed in South Jersey in many years and drew a 
large gallery. 
The men, before leaving the grounds signed articles 
of agreement to shoot another race of 100 targets for a 
purse of $1000, on Sept. 14, on the grounds of the At¬ 
lantic City Gun Club, and there is no doubt but that this 
race will be witnessed by several hundred people. The 
shoot will be run off in the afternoon, starting at 2 
o'clock sharp. 
The Atlantic City Gun Club have also arranged to
