S. M. Van Allen, of Jamaica; Harvey McMnrchv, of 
Fulton; J. A. K. Elliott, of New York city; Harry 
Welles, of New York city, and John Martin, of Brooklyn. 
Kelsey and Glover have won it twice. There is a bunch 
of talent for you, and although some may be a little out 
of practice, others may be overtrained, so that a batUe 
royal is promised. 
Then there will be a new cup put up by President 
H. W. Smith, of the Association, to be shot for for five 
consecutive years. This will take the place of the city 
cup,-and will be a beauty. 
The Bergen Beach Gun Club comes forward this year 
through the interest of Mr. L, H. Schortemeier with a fine 
cup for intercounty teams of four men; and don’t forget 
the Dean Richmond. It is a dear old time-honored 
trophy, and if there is any honor that can be attained 
by a club team higher than the possession of the Dean 
Richmond trophy, let us know what it is. And the great 
merchandise event, unique in the fact that the big gun 
manufacturers break their cast-iron rule once each year 
for the glory of the oldest shooting fixture by many 
years in the history of the county and donate a high 
grade gun; $1,000 worth of shotguns and $1,000 worth of 
other valuable prizes, all in one event—think of it! That 
is the event that makes possible the Squier money-back 
system and brings over 150 shooters shooting solid 
through the three days of the tournament. 
The secretary will be glad to mail to any New York 
State shooter a set of the constitution and by-laws of the 
Association, who requests one. An invitation has lately 
been sent to clubs throughout the State to join the Asso¬ 
ciation. If any clubs have been missed, the secretary 
would be obliged if secretaries of such clubs would 
notify him of the fact. 
With greetings from the Association to all trap shots, 
C. G. Blandford, Sec’y-Treas. 
Belmont Gun Club. 
Narberth, N. J.. Jan. 27.—There was a large attend¬ 
ance at the shoot of the Belmont Gun Club, held to-day. 
Messrs. Fisher, Hoffman and Emerson were successful 
in making a straight score of 10. The high wind at the 
commencement of the match made the conditions harder 
for the shooters who went to the score first.

Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., June 30.—Scores herewith were made 
at the regular bi-monthly shoot of the Ossining Gun 
Club. There was only one prize shot for, the Du Pont 
picture. It was a 15-target, misses-as-breaks handicap, 
and after several shoot-offs, Nath. Tuttle proved the win¬ 
ner. Brandreth, Willi and Blandford shot a few sweeps, 
in which the money was about equally divided. 
I. T. Washburn came up late, and in a IS-target affair 
he went straight with a borrowed gun, and scooped in 
the coin. 
A prize club shoot will be held on Lincoln’s Day, 
starting at 1:30 P. M., and entries closing at 3 P. M. 
A team shoot with Tuckahoe will likely be held at the 
same time. 
Figures immediately after the names indicate misses- 
as-breaks allowances, which are not added to scores:

Interslafe Association Meeting. 
PiTTS'BURG, Pa. — A special meeting of the stockholders 
of the Interstate Association was held at the Grand 
Hotel, New York city, on Wednesday, Jan. 27, to con¬ 
sider protests filed against recording in the yearly aver¬ 
ages of 1908, certain scores made at registered tourna¬ 
ments. The protests were duly taken up and given ex¬ 
tended consideration, the status of the matter at the 
present time being exactly the same as it was before 
the protests were entered. The averages were released 
to the several sportsmen’s journals, honorary members 
of the Association, for publication, in their respective 
issues of Feb. 6. After discussing several matters of 
routine importance, the meeting was duly adjourned with 
all business fully covered.

THE GREATEST PRIZE WINNER 
Premier of Shot Guns 
If the Lefever is not the premier of shot guns, why does it 
win nearly all shot gun shooting prizes? 
Here is a list of the victories won by the Lefever in 1908 alone : 
The Preliminary Handicap at the Interstate Association Eastern Handicap, Boston, Mass. 
Tied in the Professional Championship at the Grand American Handicap at Columbus, Ohio. 
Won the Amateur Championship of Western Canada. 
The Grand Canadian Handicap. - - The Amateur Championship of Canada. 
The WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP at Olympic Games, England. 
Lefever Shot Gun 
Enough advantages over other high-grade guns are told of in the Lefever catalogue to 
amaze anyone not using the gun itself. How a tight joint is insured with dovetailed 
fastener and self-compensating bolt; how strain is taken off the hinge-joint; how 
faithful workmanship is spent on all parts; how steel is used which brings honor, 
not discredit, upon the names of the great European makers—all are to 
be read and seen in a beautiful catalogue worth sending for.

IN SELECTING A GUN 
for field or trap use—BUY THE BEST. It may 
cost twice as much as a cheap gun, but it 'will last 
ten times as long. There is no better gun than a 
PARKER. Ask the man who owns one.
