An&loslan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., April 11.—The Analostan Gun 
Club held its regular shoot on Saturday, April 10. The 
wind blew great guns out of the northwest right in the 
teeth of the shooters, and it was so cold that many of the 
regulars were afraid to venture out for fear of pneumonia. 
Those present were so bundled up that they looked like 
they had just got in from the North Pole. However, 
a few of the faithful were on deck. John Philip Sousa, 
the .distinguished musician, was present and did some 
good shooting with that prize gun of his. He wound up 
his string for the afternoon by only missing 8 out of 75, 
scoring his last 15 straight and 9 out of his last 10. In 
the evening the boys all gathered around the stove at 
Uncle Billy Wagner’s, and there among his old cronies 
Mr. Sousa related a number of anecdotes well worth lis¬ 
tening to. Mr. Sousa is taking a good rest. He finished 
the season with his famous band in November, and will 
not start out again until August. . He is now on his 
way to Hot Springs, Ark., where he will remain until 
the Southern Handicap at Nashville, which he expects 
to attend. He will also attend the Grand American and 
the Eastern handicaps at Buffalo. His friends here are 
all glad that he can take this rest. During the past 
seventeen years, and since he left Washington, he has 
conducted 3,000 concerts, written six operas, two novels 
and over 200 pieces of music. 
Mr. Gus Lohr, president of the Eastern Branch Gun 
Club, was with us and shot a good gait. He scored 42 
out of 50. We never saw him shoot snappier or with 
more precision. He is credited with being a bad man in 
the wind or rain. Arthur Varela, also of the Eastern 
Branch Club, attended. He is a nepbew of Mr. Sousa, 
and was, of course, proud of his- uncle’s work. 
In the club contests Uncle Billy Wagner led with 18 
out of 20—good work considering the conditions. Follow¬ 
ing are the scores made in that event; Warner 18, C. S. 
Wilson 17, Miles Taylor 17, Sunshine 14, Dr. Cobey 14, 
C. B. Wise 13, Buckwalter 13, Willis 10.

Hud son Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 11.— There was an attendance 
of twenty-one shooters at the regular bi-monthly shoot of 
the Hudson Gun Club to-day, who spent a very pleasant 
morning smashing clay disks. 
J. H. Putney, one of the old guard, after an absence 
of two months, showed up at the grounds to-day, and 
all the boys were glad to see him on deck again with 
his little old pump gun, and his box of special cartridges, 
safely tucked away in the corner of his grip, waiting for 
Gille to announce one of his famous cake shoots. And 
another old standby of the Hudsons, Schorty, who has 
not been feeling the best for some time past, took a look 
in to-day, and what he did to the targets made all hands 
sit up and take notice, his 81 per cent, being high; but 
he had to step some to retain his lead over Woodruff 
and Williams, who, shooting very consistently, finished 
but one point behind with 80 per cent. each. 
The day, while it was bright and clear, was cold and 
with a high wind blowing at times that made the targets 
duck, twist and take all kinds of irregular flights, that 
made shooting hard for the new shooters present, as well 
as some of the older ones. 
A new set of traps that was installed to-day gave the 
shooters lots of annoyance waiting for the trappers to 
get them throwing properly, but this matter will be 
properly adjusted by the custodian of the club before the 
next shoot on April 25.

THE LEFEVER GUN WINS 
ECAUSE the taper system of choke boring was originated 
and first adopted in the Lefever factory, and is best 
understood and practised by the men who make Lefever guns. 
The Lefever gun won the High Amateur Average of the 
United States for 1908 in the double bird events—positive 
proof that both barrels of the Lefever are bored uniform¬ 
ly true, that both barrels give the penetration and the 
pattern needed to win consistently. 
OF I ACTING FAMF The Lefever gun lasts the patented compen- 
VlUlliJ V/l 1 iiivj 1 sating features of its action takes up wear in every 
direction, and it can never shoot loose. No other gun, American or foreign, is as simple in 
its construction or as positive in its action. The new Lefever cocking hook, one ' ' 
piece of steel, does the work of from i 8 to 25 parts in other high-grade shotguns 
Our catalogue will tell you many other things you should know before 
you buy a gun. Itexplains the whys and wherefores, and will con¬ 
vince you that it pays to buy the best. Shall we send you one ?

very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast 01 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the moil 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish hr 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are verj 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuU 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.

Sam LovePs Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Level’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel 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.
