Hilltop Handicap. 
At the live-bird shoot held by the Hilltop Gun Club, 
Austerlitz, Ky., March 30-31, many shooters of extraordi¬ 
nary skill gathered. The grounds are at the home of 
Alfred Clay. The hospitality of the Clay brothers was 
a delightful feature of the tournament.

to 3iyds. rise, resulted in a tie between C. O. Le Compte 
and J. D. Gay, on 47 out of the 50. The tie was shot off 
at 10 birds, Le Compte winning, 10 to 8.

The Only Practical One=Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger makes the superiority of Smith Guns more pronounced than 
ever. It is the ONLY perfect, non-frictional, practical one-trigger ever produced. Smith 
Guns, equipped with the Hunter One-Trigger, are unequalled for any kind of shooting—field, 
duck or trap—and they hold the world’s record. 
SMITH GUNS 
Hunter One-Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger construction absolutely prevents balking or doubling. It gives 
exactly the same control over the firing possessed by a two-trigger gun, with the greater speed, 
accuracy and convenience of one-trigger. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun —weight 5}4 
to 7 lbs., and a little beauty. If you do not know about it, be sure and write.

Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales 
' ' EDGAR r. RANDOLPH — 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for the 
wider circle which delights in true tales of outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories, Mr. 
Randolph’s book is never lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint. 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild.

Bergen Beach, L. L, April 10.—There was a preva- 
strong wind, making quite a difference between the 
flights of shot and flights of targets, a cipher expressing 
this variant with neatness and precision. Each event 
was at 25 targets:
