Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. T.. Feb. 5.—Event 1 was for our 
club medal. Adams looked like a sure winner until 
C6nnor came out late and tied. The shoot-off will be 
run off next Friday. Young and Sheppard were close 
seconds, each finishing with 21. Young shot strong all 
through and used a strange gun at that. He shot four 
'trings of 25 in addition to those given below, scoring 
20, 21, 21, and 23. 
Orleman is going some strong, and always finishes up 
among the veterans. 
Sheppard, by consistent work, walloped Wells proper in 
a special match. 22 to 14. 
The third match between the above gentlemen will be 
shot next Friday. 
Pennell, us usual, went a steady gait, but was a little 
weak in the club medal event. He swears he will get a 
win next month or “bust.” 
Everv one wanted to shoot all the time, and so badly, 
some of the squads had eight men up. Threw 2000 targets 
in less than three hours. Will have to run two sets of 
traps if the crowd keeps increasing as it has the last 
month. The hotel men are co-operating with our clubj 
and all guests are always welcome at the club grounds. 
Every visiting trapshooter should come out and meet 
our boys, a portion of “the best fellows on earth.” 
A registered shoot Easter Monday, April 12, will be a 
big event well worth attending.

Fixtures. 
March 13-20.—New York.—Gallery championship and 
shoot. Zettler Gallery. 
National Board for Promotion of 
Rifle Practice. 
IVashington, D. C., Jan. 30.—Since the action of the 
National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice in making 
such sweeping changes in the conditions for the national 
match the rifle world has been earnestly discussing the 
probable effect the changes made will have on this 
event. The national match was established by Congress 
in 1903, and a magnificent trophy was provided for it, to 
which the National Rifle Association added the Hilton 
trophy and the Soldier of Marathon. Congress annually 
appropriates the money for the prizes which accompany 
the trophies, and the match is shot under the direction 
of the War Department. Each State and Territory and 
each branch of the regular service is entitled to repre¬ 
sentation by a team of twelve shooting members, together 
with coaches, range officers, substitutes, etc. Last year 
there were fifty competing teams, and the services of 
approximately one hundred army officers and seven 
hundred enlisted men were required to handle the match. 
Heretofore there have been six prizes which went to the 
six leading teams, but this year the National Board, with 
the approval of the Secretary of War, has decided to 
change the rules so as to make three great contests in 
one. For this purpose the teams will be divided into 
three divisions on their record at Camp Perry last year. 
In the first division will come the U. S. Infantry, U. S. 
Navy, U. S. Cavalry, U. S. Marine Corps, Wisconsin, 
Massachusetts. Naval Academy, Pennsylvania, District 
of Columbia, Washington, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon, Maine 
and Ohio. In the second division will be Oklahoma, 
New Hampshire, Colorado, California, New York. Mary¬ 
land, New Jersey, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri. Hawaii, 
Indiana, Michigan. West Virginia and Kentucky. The 
third _ division will include Wyoming, Connecticut, 
Georgia, Rhode Island, Arizona, Alabama, South Caro¬ 
lina, Nebraska, Tennessee, Delaware, North Dakota, 
Texas, Vermont. Virginia, Arkansas, New Mexico. Utah, 
Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina and the remaining 
States and territories which were not represented last 
year. 
The prize for the first division will be the national 
trophy; for the second division will be the Hilton trophy, 
and foi- the third will be the Soldier of Marathon, in 
addition to which there will be three or four money 
prizes in each division. All teams will be eligible to 
win the national trophy, but only the teams in the second 
and third divisions will be eligible to win the Hilton 
trophy, while_ none but teams in the third division can 
win the Soldier of Marathon. The same rule will prob¬ 
ably be applied to the money prizes, so that the teams 
in the third division can compete for any of the prizes 
offered, those in the second division will be restricted 
to the prizes for the second and first divisions, while the 
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 toon 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 arc 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.

Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danyis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Level and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.”
