FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 15, 191 l. 
Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks-Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefever. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
F@r instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver.

ver simplicity and strength make the S 28 gun the

Buffalo, N. Y., July 8 .—Owing to the many counter- 
attractions, only a small number attended the first shoot 
for July. Weather conditions were favorable for good 
scores. In the regular badge event, the second on the

of 19; Messrs. Rogers and Burgwardt tied in Class B 
with IS each. Mr. Rogers won in the shoot-off, 18 to 
17 for his opponent. Mr. C. Waldow captured Class C 
with 15 broken targets. 
In the handicap event for the Lambert trophies, Dr. 
Wootton won Class A from 19yds., with 17 to his credit. 
II. Burgwardt won Class B with 19 from the 17yd. mark, 
and Mr. Waldow was again in evidence, winning Class 
C.

elected for the ensuing year: B. V. Covert, President; 
J. E. Wilson, Vice-President; Dr. Wootton, Secretary;

“If Hell’s any hotter than this, we will have to use a 
syringe for a pump gun at the traps of the Satanic Gun 
Club,” remarked Tomlinson, as he broke his 94th bird 
at the tuning up shoot at the Holland Gun Club in 
Batavia, on the “sane Fourth.” Gardiner kept the per¬ 
spiration out of his eyes often enough to shatter 91. but 
Walls’ “hdkf” got wet too soon, and he sighted ac¬ 
curately only 86 . These were the only entrants able to 
stand up for the full 100. Charley Gardiner says that 
if you want the program for the Western New' York 
championship tournament, or if you didn’t receive the 
1911 program, to drop him a line. Scores:

Chicago Gun Club. 
The directors of the Chicago Gun Club, at their meet¬ 
ing on June 27, decided to hold a merchandise shoot 
monthly on the grounds at Kensington, in addition to 
the regular weekly events of the season. They will 
be 100 -bird matches, $2 entrance, optional sweep, win¬ 
ner to have first “grab” in the prize bag, there being 
a prize for every contestant. 
The first of these matches will be shot on July 16; 
others on Aug. 20, Sept. 17, Oct. 15, Nov. 19 and 
Dec. 17. On these days the regular club events now 
scheduled, will be shot in the forenoon, leaving the after¬ 
noon clear for the prize match to be begun at 2 o’clock 
over three sets of traps. 
The merchandise events will take the place of regis¬ 
tered tournaments for the remainder of the season. 
Popularity of such shoots has been proven by others 
held in the past, the most recent being the wind-up of 
the summer tournament, when the Grand Chicago Han¬ 
dicap was run off.
