Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Oct. 15.—After the heavy fog of this 
morning had cleared away the sun warmed up the atmos¬ 
phere, so that we had a fine afternoon for shooting, and 
twenty marksmen lined up for their turns on the firing 
line. Dave Thomas started ofif like a whirlwind by 
going through event No. 1 without a miss, and break¬ 
ing his first 62 targets straight. Ed. Graham came along 
in second place with 48, while Seelig, Young and Feth- 
erston each scored 47. Graham made the top score in 
the handicap event with 47 from 18yds., while Seelig 
and Young again tied with scores of 45, both standing 
on the 20yd. line. Young took first place in the first 
25 pairs of doubles, breaking 44, and only dropping one 
out of the last 14 pairs. Eck led the way in the next event, 
at 12 pairs, when he broke 23 of the 24 shot at, which is 
going a fine clip on doubles. Young was a close 
second with 22. L. Meisner finished up his last frame 
of 25 singles by breaking 23.

A drizzling rain which came 
down 
the greater 
part 
of 
the day kept most of our regulars away on Saturday, 
Oct. 14, although some were attending the South Shore 
Country Club shoot. The five shooters who tried their 
skill in the rain, made the following scores:

Roanoke Gun Club. 
The 1911 shooting season of the Roanoke Gun Club was 
on Saturday afternoon, the 21st, at 2 o’clock, brought to 
a most successful termination under the most favorable 
conditions, for there has never been a time in the history 
of the club when enthusiasm was as high, competition as 
keenly enjoyed and attendance as large. On Saturday 
afternoon a special shoot of one-half day was held, at 
which 20 large and healthy turkeys, together with a 
large number of other prizes, were offered to the mem¬ 
bers of the club, and their appreciation was shown by 
the number of contestants on the firing line, thirty-nine 
having entered for the shoot. The medals and trophies 
offered by the club for the official shooting season were 
won by the following members: Class A medal. A. M. 
Shepard: Class B medal, G. W. Hooper; Class C medal, 
H F. Wilkinson; Class D m’dal. J. W. Poindexter; 
Hunter Arms Irophy, Capt- M. S. Battle; Du Pont 
trophy, J. B. Cumbie; attendance medal, offered for 1910 
shooting season, not determined until Saturday, the 
21st, W. A. Bloxton. 
The scores made at the shoot held on the 21st, at 100 
birds, -0 of which were at doubles, were as follows:

The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Newark. N. J., Oct. 18.—Notwithstanding the fact 
that yesterday was far from an ideal day for clay pigeon 
shooting, some good tallies were handed in by the 
gunners, who took part in the weekly shoot of the 
Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club held yesterday 
afternoon over the club’s traps, near the Speedway. 
Louis Colquitt, William Hassinger and B. M. Shanley, 
Jr., were the stars of the shoot. The scores:

National Gun 
Club. 
Riverside, Ill.. Oct. 15.—The 
National 
Gun 
Club, of 
Riverside, Ill., shot a 100-target race for a Duxbak coat. 
P. Kuhlman, shooting m good form, was an easy win¬ 
ner with 91. Dr. Cronk and W. C. Brown did not 
shoot up to their standard, Cronk shooting a new gun 
and Brown having broken his gun, was shooting a 
strange one. Dr. May, of Clifton fame, got a fair start, 
but fell down in the last two frames. Geo. Schweitzer, a 
beginner, made a favorable impression. Scores:

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 Lefe/er. 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. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the S28 gun the 
peer of any $50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Si ,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.

—— 
What makes a 
Shotgun kick ? 
A gun kicks when the powder burns near the muzzle, in¬ 
stead of beginning at the breach and burning progressively. 
The burning at the muzzle sends the impulse of the rapidly 
expanding powder both ways —up and down the barrel. 
And it is the back impulse that makes the gun kick against 
ymrr shoulder—causing nervous flinching and discomfort. 
This burning of powder at the muzzle has been completely 
overcome in Dead Shot by making the grains porous. Being 
porous, the primer flame penetrates all grains. And each 
grain begins to burn from the inside as well as the out—with 
an ever increasing burning surface as the speed of the charge 
accelerates up the barrel. The impulse beginning at the 
breach, you get high velocity without the kick. And the ve¬ 
locity thus attained gives best results in penetration. 
Dead Shot is the only porous grained powder — made so 
by a special, exclusive process. 
All dealers carry Dead Shot loads in stock.
