Jeffery’s 
High-Powered 
Rifle 
*tr 
pOR several years the leading sportsmen of America have conceded to this 
company the distinction of introducing the most advanced ideas in new 
equipment to meet their needs in the field and in the camp. 
Keeping pace with a policy that has won this distinction, we have for some time past 
been closely observing the performances of a high-powered rifle made by W. J. Jeffery & Co. 
Ltd., of London. The big-game hunters of Europe took a great deal of interest in this rifle, 
and after proving its qualities in the Indian and African fields declared it to be the finest and 
most perfect high-powered bolt-action gun yet made. 
Our own investigations had led us to the same conclusion, and we promptly secured the 
American and Mexican rights to its sale. 
Jeffery makes several rifles in different models—the .333 being the one best suited to our 
general American conditions. This rifle, with a weight of about 8^4 pounds and using the 
new cordite and axite powders with a 250 grain bullet, obtains a velocity of 2600 feet with 
a striking force well over 4000 pounds. This truly remarkable 
performance, and the fact that the length and sharp point of bullet 
permits the velocity to be maintained at long ranges, makes this 
.333 rifle superior to anything we have ever known in America 
for the open country and plains. The trajectory, figured by 
Jeffery, is taken by shooting from the shoulder using one sight 
only, and up to 300 yards shows absolutely no drop. 
We also carry in stock the .256 Jeffery’s, the .400 Jeffery’s and the .404 
Jeffery’s. 
The first importation of these rifles has just arrived, and 
we shall take great pleasure in showing them to those desiring 
a high-grade rifle. A special Jeffery’s catalogue will be mailed 
upon request. 
It is due to the A. & F. Co. policy of up-to-date-edness that we daily 
receive orders for special articles and complete outfits from all parts of the world. 
Sportsmen everywhere know that they can find in our stock, as in no other place, 
a specialized variety, a uniform high quality and a fair pricing of all goods. Our 
“Money Back” policy is a guarantee put upon everything we sell. 
wm 
The camper—the canoeist—the hunter of large or small game, and the 
fisherman all need the A. & F. Co. catalog—nothing like it can be 
bought—it will give you better ideas of how to go and what to 
take—just a postal request will bring it free by return mail.

Ye Oak Meadow Gun Club. 
As a result of the second shoot for the Zinn cup at 
the Ye Oak Meadow Gun Club range, Saturday after¬ 
noon, August Keubeler, Jr., is leading with a score of 
87. As this is a long shoot, 500 targets, other members 
of the club have by no means given up hope of beating 
him out and the race promises to be very interesting 
before it is finally decided. 
The standing of the others in the shoot for the Zinn 
cup is as follows: Krupp, 83; Zinn, 78; Donahue, 77; 
Ramsey, 70; Marsh. 68; Parker, 47; Sadler, 46; Deist, 44. 
In the 75-target shoot, the following scores were made: 
Kuebeler, 70; Parker, 69; Deist, 67; Sadler. 66; Krupp, 
■62; Donahue, 61; Zinn, 59; Ramsey, 53; Marsh, 54. 
In the doubles shoot Webb Sadler tied with Rollo 
Heikes, of Dayton, breaking 21 out of 24 targets. Heikes 
is a professional trapshooter, whose home is in Dayton. 
Naturally the members of the Ye Oak Meadow Club are 
somewhat elated to think they have a man who could 
hold his own with this clever shooter. 
August Kuebeler, Jr., made the best showing for the 
whole afternoon’s shooting, breaking 151 out of a total 
of 175 targets, a record which he may justly feel proud of. 
Mr. Giiespie, of Pittsburg, attended the shoot and was 
much interested in the entire program. 
These weekly shoots are attracting considerable atten¬ 
tion all over the State and the Ye Oak Meadow Gun 
Club is making a name for itself and will soon be classed 
with the clubs throughout the State that have been or¬ 
ganized for a long time. The club is planning greater 
activities for the near future and will probably have 
strangers here to take part in the shoots from time to 
time, so as to increase the interest. 
At Shell Mound Park. 
Emeryville, Cal., Aug. 6.—On the above date many 
rifle and pistol shots made their appearance on the range, 
and as the tenth anniversary public prize shoot of the 
Shell Mound Pistol and Rifle Club is but a month away, 
the members are not losing any time to get in good 
trim for this great competition. 
In the regular monthly medal shoot of the Shell Mound 
Pistol and Rifle Club, H. A. Harris was high man on 
the pistol range with 94; he was closely followed by J. 
E. Gorman with 93. The first class was captured by A. 
M. Poulsen, making 88, while 88 took the first place in 
the second class, shot by R. S. Wixson. C. W. Seely 
was the high man in the third class with 87. 
Our rifle shooters also made good scores on the 
German ring target, 20yds., Schuetzen rifles. L. S. 
Hawxhurst made the best score in the champion class; 
K. O. Kindgren made the best score in the first class. 
O. A. Paulsen was high man in the second class, while 
F. A. McLaughlin was the high man in the third class. 
The prizes for that big shoot are coming in fast. We 
learn to-day that our Iowa shooters are becoming in¬ 
terested in our shoot. We hope to hear from them 
and that they will take an active part. 
H. Windmuller made the best score in the Oakland 
Turner Schuetzen. Wm. A. Siebe, Sec’y. 
Rapid Fire Record. 
Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 14.—First team match blood 
for the United States Navy and a new rapid-fire record 
marked the opening day of the twenty-ninth annual 
tournament of the National Rifle Association. It was 
in the enlisted men’s, for teams of six at 600 and 1000 
yards, a new match this year, that the Navy sailed off 
with the honors, but by the margin of only 2 points over 
Colorado. The scores were 552 and 550. Indiana was 
third, with 545; West Virginia fourth with 544, and 
Massachusetts No. 2 and the United States Infantry tied 
for fifth and sixth with 542. Iowa’s 540 landed it seventh. 
The other scores were: Massachusetts No. 1, 537; 
Marine Corps No. 2, 537; Georgia, 528; Oregon Nos. 1 
and 2, 522; Marine Corps No. 3, 519; District of Colum¬ 
bia, 515; Marine Corps No. 1, 507; Montana, 484; Arizona, 
446. 
The rapid fire record was made by a Georgian dark 
horse, Sergt. Warner S. Flale, of Monroe, a member of 
the Second Infantry. He stacked up thirty-five bullseyes, 
a possible, and then two and a half others in the shoot- 
off. This is Hale’s second visit to the national tourna¬ 
ment. The other prize winners in the field of 294 were 
by unofficial bulletin: Lieut. Westover, Infantry; En¬ 
sign Knerr, Navy; Private J. E. Williams, Massachu¬ 
setts, and Lieut. Rutherford, Infantry. 
Two hundred and forty-six contested to-day for the 
historic $500 Wimbledon cup, given by the Rifle Asso¬ 
ciation of Great Britain. The score of Capt. Van 
Auken, of the Third Indiana, was turned in as 99, but 
it was protested on the ground that he failed to fire one 
shot. This protest, the executive committee of the 
National Rifle Association announced late this evening, 
will not be decided until to-morrow. The winner a 
year ago, Capt. Guy H. Emerson, of Ohio, got 98. 
Two other Buckeyes, Lieut.-Col. C. B. Winder and Capt. 
E. W. Eddy, also scored 98.
