Dead Shot Smokeless 
Used by Harve Dixon, of 
Oronogo, Mo., won Grand 
American Handicap, 99 out 
100 from 20 yards. The 
highest score ever made 
from 20 yds. in the G. A. H. 
$1000.00 and Interstate Trophy. 
This valuable event was won by an amateur 
using Dead Shot Smokeless, a far reaching, 
hard hitting, well made powder. Patterns 
made with Dead Shot Smokeless, in any gun, 
are superior when compared with any other 
load. 
For sale by all dealers—in all makes of shells. 
The stability of Dead Shot Smokeless we 
always guarantee.

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J„ Aug. 12.—The week end shoot 
of the Atlantic City Gun Club was well attended and 
some good scores were recorded. We had with us Mr. 
Westcott, the popular expert amateur from Leesburg, 
Fla., and he is going to stay over until the Westy Hogan 
is shot. Luther Squier, the Du Pont expert and “Squier 
money-back” originator, was also with us, and we sure 
were glad to welcome these two popular sports. 
It is the intention of our club to instal our trap on 
the Pier at once, and shoot there in place of the club 
grounds, until after the famous Westy Hogan is over. 
No doubt many will be glad to hear of this and will 
run down and try their luck before the big event. We 
will shoot there every Friday afternoon, and possibly 
Saturdays also. 
The Plum trophy was the main event of the afternoon, 
and high score was made by Shepard with 47, closely 
followed by Powers and Cook with 46 an 45 respectively.

Knoxville (Tenn.) Gun Club. 
On Saturday afternoon, Aug. 5, the Knoxville Gun Club 
had the pleasure of entertaining two of the world’s 
greatest fancy shots in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Ad. 
Topperwein, and in addition to witnessing one of their 
most highly entertaining and instructive exhibitions of 
the use of all manner of small firearms, witnessed also a 
most remarkable performance at the traps. 
Not satisfied with showing the four or five hundred 
spectators these remarkable performances, the Knoxville 
Gun Club established two new ground records for their 
particular benefit on this occasion. Mr. Chas. A. Young, 
of Springfield, O., proved the first since the organiza¬ 
tion of the club to “clean up” the program, for he 
finished the day without a miss, breaking 100 out of a 
possible 100. This is getting to be a habit with Charley 
of late. 
Squad No. 1 in event No. 2, shooting at 25 targets each, 
turned in a record score of 124 out of 125. Plummer 
“carried the guns” for losing his first target, the scores 
being: Mrs. Topperwein 25, Chas. A. Young 25, W. F. 
Hall 25, P. B. Plummer 24, Chas. A. Burks 25; total 124 
out of 125. 
Another fine performance was that of Mr. W. F. 
Hall, who recently joined the professional ranks, and 
deserves much credit for the magnificent score of 149 
out of 150, losing but one target during the day. 
It would not be meet to conclude this without calling 
attention to the amateur on this squad, Chas. A. Burks, 
of Knoxville, and of whom the Knoxville Gun Club is 
beginning to feel mighty proud. He has been turning 
in some very high class scores indeed of late, and his 
96 out of 100 on this occasion, coupled with the repeated 
high scores of Mr. Chas. A. Young, makes the “ordinary 
shooter” “sit up” and wonder "what’s in a name.” 
That twenty-four shooters participated in the after¬ 
noon’s sport, with the addition of the large number of 
spectators, quite a number of whom were ladies, shows 
what a good “drawing card” will do, and that the 
Topperweins are this has been demonstrated repeatedly 
of late. May they continue to be as long as may seem 
good to them.

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.

ver simplicity and strength make the S 28 gun the 
peer of any S 50 gun on the market. Upwards to
