Myles Standish Rifle Club. 
Portland, Me., Dec. 21.—Starting: our indoor season 
with a smoker and seeing who could use up the most 
gun powder within a specified time, we locked the doors 
so late last Saturday night that somebody remarked it 
must be Sunday morning. Excitement ran high, and 
everybody went home satisfied and determined that he 
was going into strict training and trim everything in 
sight _ this winter.^ Our executive committee have 
promised a larger list of prizes this winter, with a purse 
of gold and championship cup to each winner in the 
rifle and hand-gun 'division. 
As a prelirninary they offered 500 cartridges to winners 
o feach division Saturday, three targets of ten shots each. 
Hatch carried away the prize in the hand-gun division, 
while there was a battle royal between Wilkins and 
Stevens with the rifle, the former winning only after 
the toughest kind of luck on Stevens’ part.

National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practica. 
Washington, D. C.—Under the provisions of an Act 
of Congress approved March 3, 1905, the Secretary of 
War i.s authorized to sell to civilian rifle clubs such 
magazine rifles belonging^ to the United States as are 
not needed for the equipment of the army and the 
organi.zed militia. Requisitions for the same must come 
through .the Governors of the several States and Terri¬ 
tories. The Secretary of War is also authorized to 
sell to such clubs ammunition, ordnance stores, re¬ 
volvers and equipments of the government standard at 
the prices at which they are listed for the army. Fre¬ 
quent inquiries are received at the War Department as 
to the methods to be pursued in organizing civilian rifle 
clubs which may secure the advantages mentioned. Such 
clubs may be formed by not less than twenty citizens 
between the ages of 16 and 45 in any locality, to be 
organized by adopting certain by-laws approved by the 
Secretary of Wan Among these by-laws is one to the 
effect that all rifle and revolver competitions held by 
the club will be governed^ by the rules and regu'aiions 
as laid down by the National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice and approved by the Secretary of War. 
After organization the club affiliates with the National 
Rifle Association of America and becomes a member of 
the third class. The fees for such clubs are $10, which 
covers the first year’s dues and $5 a year thereafter. 
All civilian rifle clubs having less than fifty members 
are entitled to one vote at all meetings of the Na¬ 
tional Rifle Association and those having more than 
fifty members are entitled to two votes. 
The National Rifle Association presents to each 
affiliated club a medal suitably_ inscribed and mounted 
in a morocco case for competition among its members. 
This match is known as the “Members’ Match,’’ and the 
winner retains possession of the medal. All members of 
affiliated clubs are eligible to compete for a National 
Marksman’s Reserve qualification, and on quilifying, will 
be given a lapel button and listed in the War Depart¬ 
ment as a member of the National Marksman’s Re¬ 
serve. This is open to all male citizens of the United 
States between the ages of 18 and 45, and may be shot 
on the range of any association affiliated with the Na¬ 
tional Rifle Association. Two sighting shots and five 
shots for record are allowed at each of the ranges, which 
are 200, 300 and 500yds. The positions are standing at 
CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD 
GREAT VICTORIES WON 
T he LEFEVER shot gun has added another Year 
of Victories. The Championship of the World won 
at the Olympic Games, London, England, heads the 
list of 1908 Lefever victories. This will remind you that 
the highest award over the whole world’s guns was made 
to the Lefever at St. Louis. 
The roll of Lefever victories in 1908 and for years past 
should convince you beyond a doubt that all we have claimed for the wonderful, simple mechanism of the 
LEFEVER SHOT GUN 
is true—that this is the premier shot gun of the world to-day. The same mechanism and materials are in 
the lock of a $28 Lefever that are in a $1000 Lefever. In all grades the barrels are bored uniformly true, 
they lap as far, and hold as tight at hinge and fastener. 
When you examine a Lefever at a store you will see—and see very plainly—why this shot gun has for years been winning 
hundreds of ciiampionships—international, national, state and club championships. Whether you want to shoot at the trap or in 
the fields, marshes and brush—theonly gun which assures you the best results, hy proven test, is the Lefever. 
You will buy a Lefever, and n<i other, if you take the trouble to examine one and compare it with others. It is to your interest 
to do this. Our catalogue points out D structural and mechanical advantages—all of them exclusive. You will receive a copy in a day 
or two if you write now. It is worth sending for.
