Get This New Point of View: 
r IFE is too short for any shot gun shortcomings. 
_y Why should your pleasure or your game 
bag suffer because of some oversight or omission of 
the gun maker — no matter how slight? 
Smith Guns have no shortcomings. The six 
Hunter Brothers’ 22 years of invention, precision 
workmanship, purpose and experience have freed the 
Smith Gun of all the shortcomings which other guns 
—each to a greater 
or lesser degree— 
have. 
Inaccessibility 
is eliminated by 
the Smith “ One- 
Screw Access ” to 
all working parts. 
Shooting loose 
is eliminated by 
the Smith Rotary 
Bolt, taking up 
wear in all direc¬ 
tions by the double-wedging of its double claws, which 
enter the frame after passing through extension rib. 
And the Hunter One-Trigger is the only inven¬ 
tion that has ever successfully eliminated loss of aim 
in fumbling for second trigger, as well as injury to 
the shooter’s fingers. 
So on, through the list of gun problems solved, the 
Smith becomes truly the gun with “ no shortcomings. ”

JERSEY CITY. N. J, 
Portland Gun Club. 
Portland, Me., Sept. 2.—For the second time 
within one week Edgar Thurston, of the Portland Gun 
Club, was high man at the shoot held at the Nonesuch 
Gun Club to-day. His score was 90 out of 100. A. Reed 
was runner-up with S7 The weather conditions were 
unfavorable, rain coming down while the men were in 
the middle of their strings. Thurston started in with 
three strings cf 22 and finished with a score of 24, while 
Reed killed 20, then two strings of 21, and wound up 
with a perfect score. Tapper, Noyes, Stanworth, Ross, 
H. O. Dyer, Brackett and Cash all showed much im¬ 
provement in their work on the traps. 
The one feature of the afternoon’s shooting was the 
killing of 19 consecutive birds for the William N. Taylor 
cup. Mr. Taylor is a member of the Nonesuch Gun 
Club, and has put up a cup to be awarded to the mem¬ 
ber of the Nonesuch Club making the highest number 
of successive killings. Up to yesterday, Mr. Ward held 
the high score with 16, but E. H. Dyer made 19 pigeons 
bite the dust yesterday and seems in a fair way to win 
the cup. The men have until November to shoot for it.

Daniel Boone Gun Club. 
Marthasville, Mo. —The weekly practice shoot of 
our club for Aug. 31 was postponed because many of the 
members were too busy to turn out, and a few who had 
time wished to go out into the country to' attend a 
shooting match for mutton. Those who went to the 
match were: Ahmann, Lichtenberg, Gardyne, Berg and 
Wilson, and they brought home five hindquarters and 
one forequarter of mutton. There were twenty shooters 
who took part. Two sheep were put up at a time, and 
were divided into twelve parts. There were really two 
matches, for there were four sheep put up. Wilson was 
high man with only 1 bird down in the afternoon, in¬ 
cluding practice. Ahmann was next with only two birds 
down. The high gun system was used.
