Deiiih of William Maynard. 
William Maynard died last Thursday at his home in 
Pittsburg, while still in the prime of life. For many 
years he had been connected with large sportsmen’s 
goods houses, and was one of the best retail salesmen in 
the country. Mr. Maynard entered the employ of Wil¬ 
liam Read & Sons, in Boston, while a boy, was also 
with the old John P. I^ovell Arms Co., and became as¬ 
sociate editor of The Rifle when that paper was published 
in BOstbn, and when it was removed to New York city 
and renamed Shooting and Fishing, he came here with 
it, but resi.c^ned shortiv afterward to become retail sales¬ 
man for the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. 
About seven years ago he went to Pittsburg, and since 
then had been with W. T. Brown, of that city. 
Mr. Maynard had a wonderful memorv for details, and 
early in his career acquired a fondness for the theoretical 
side of rifle shooting. He was not well known as a rifle 
shot, although he experimented at times, but he studied 
the theory and practice of ballistics and rifle shooting 
until he was recoo'nized as an authority. Puzzling as is 
the long list of rifle and pistol cartridges made in Amer¬ 
ica and abroad, he could give offhand all the minute de¬ 
tails connected with the boring, chambering and rifling 
of any arm one might mention, and give as well the 
weight in grains of the poVder charge and bullet, the 
size and style of the primer Used, the shape and length 
of the shell and bullet, and the diarneter of the latter in 
thousandths of an inch. He could also tell a prospective 
buver exactly what might be expected of a certain rifle, 
and would explain rapidly the traiectorv, muzzle velocity, 
penetration, killing power and range of the bullet.

SKotgun Perfection Reached 
The Hunter One-Trigger, now attached on order to all Smith Hammerless Guns, is the 
greatest shotgun achievement in fifty years. Sportsmen have waited years for a PRACTICAL 
ONE-TRIGGER GUN—and now they have it in 
SMITH GUNS 
Hunter One-Trigger 
The Hunter One-Trigger pulls both barrels without the possibility of balking or 
doubling. It never hangs or “creeps”—its action is quick and clean. It greatly increases 
the effectiveness of the second barrel, insuring a surer, quicker, better shot. 
There is already an enormous demand for the new 20 Gauge Smith Gun—weight 
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 riffe, 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.
