FOREST AND STREAM 
[Aug. 5. 1911. 
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. 
For 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. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer of any S50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
§1,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.

Westy Hogan 
s. 
The secretary of the Westy Hogans is mailing to all 
prospective visitors to this year’s big shoot at Atlantic 
City, an attractive post-card, setting forth, in a nut-shell, 
what the participants in this tournament may look for¬ 
ward to when the big event comes off, Sept. 19 to 23. 
This announcement is in advance of the regular program, 
which will be in circulation before long. At the final 
meeting of the Westy Hogans during the Eastern Handi¬ 
cap, at Wilmington, Del., a few weeks ago, the pro¬ 
gram was gone over carefully, and an earnest effort was 
City, an attractive post-card, setting forth, in a nut-shell, 
of shooters. 
Tuesday, Sept. 19, will be practice day, and Sept. 20, 
21 and 22 will be regular Westy Hogan program days. 
One hundred and fifty targets will be shot at on each 
of these days, or 450 for the three days. The Squier 
money-back system will be used in the regular pro¬ 
gram, and the purse created under this system, together 
with the added money and trophies, should amount to 
over $2,500. 
The Westy Hogan amateur championship will be shot 
on Thursday, Sept. 21, and as usual will be a part of the 
regular program. 
On Saturday, Sept. 23, two extra events will be shot. 
First, the famous E. C. cup will be shot for in open 
competition, 100 singles, 50 expert rule, and 25 pair. 
Second, the Westy Hogan special—an event which will 
appeal to amateurs who cannot average better than 88 
per cent. 
The Westy Hogans believe that this is the most equit¬ 
able program ever promised for a big trapshooting tour¬ 
nament, and they purpose carrying it out to the letter. 
The program, giving detailed information, will be off 
the press about Aug. 20, and will be mailed to any 
shooter desiring one. Address Bernard Elsesser, York, 
Pennsylvania.

Aitkin Gun Club. 
Aitkin, Minn., July 29.—High scores were the rule 
throughout the entire tournament here to-day. A. C. 
White won the Minnesota diamond badge after breaking 
42 out of 50. J. C. White was high amateur average 
man with 332 out of 350, while high general went to R. 
R. Barber on a score of 330 out of 350. Complete scores 
will appear in next week’s issue. 
Los Angeles Revolver Club. 
Los Angeles, Cal., July 25.- —There was very little 
doing at the Bishop street range, where the Los Angeles 
Revolver Club held forth last Sunday. It was the regu¬ 
lar practice day, and the scores certainly looked as 
though they had been practiced on. Some of the mem¬ 
bers are shooting on the U. S. R. A. medal targets, and 
it is surprising to see how they lower the scores for the 
day. A man may be shooting around 94 or 95, but when 
that medal target looms up, he gets his hands and feet 
mixed up, or so it seems. 
It looks so easy. too. Such great big white paper. 
Most of the boys think the 10-ring looks so pretty, they 
hate to spoil it with bullet holes. Anyhow, it is great 
sport and good training. The targets are the same as 
those used in the U. S. R. A. outdoor championships,
