St. Louis Central Sharpshooters' Association. 
St. Louis, Mo., April 19.—For the past three weeks 
the St. Louis Central Sharpshooters have been up against 
a hard proposition in the form of a heavy southeast wind 
that strikes the shooters from the left hand, blowing 
the smoke ni their faces and keeping their guns in con¬ 
stant motion. The wind was so heavy a week ago that 
the regular weekly practice had to be given up. and on 
Sunday aft ei neon the wind came in such uncertain spurts 
that only eleven ; hooters cared to try for record scores. 
Even though sheeting under such uncertain conditions, 
the .sh.cnlers did seme very fine work, and the day proved 
to be very cn(eitaining. T. M. Watkins, with a score of 
227 out of 250 poinl;-. made the high mark of the day < n 
the German ring target, and Wm. Sandman with 53 
points out of a possible 60, led on the man target. Here 
are the scores" 
German ring target. 10 shots, possible 250 points: T. 
M. Watkins 227, 215, 209; F. J. Spaedy 225, 219, 206; Wm. 
Bauer 218, 214. 204; Wm. F. Kaessler 213, 212, 207; W. 
Rich (a visitor) 205, 200, 195; Wm. Sandman 200,200,195; 
Geo. Cole 200, 195, 190; G. R. Vgn Kleck 199, 190, 188; 
\\'. A. Alexander 198, 190,185; A. Bruenemann 195, 190, 185; 
A. \V. Pickles 195, 190, 180. 
Man target, three shots, possible 60 points: Wm. Sand¬

An interesting team sboot is on between the St. Louis 
Revolver and Rifle Club and the Belleville Revolver and 
Rifle Club, in which two teams of six men each are 
contesting for the championship. The first shoot took 
place at Belleville, Ill., on Wednesday evening. April 7, 
and the next contest will take place at the St. Louis, 
range, 202 N. Main street, on Friday evening, April 30, 
the agreement being that each club should shoot a 
match on its range, and the club winning both matches, 
or scoring the highest total should have choice of the 
ran.ge that the last match should be shot on. 
The St. Louis boys won the first match of the series 
and came home happy, not so much over their victory, 
but the fine time shown them by the Belleville boys, and 
they are making preparations to show their competitors a 
jollv time when they visit St. Louis. 
These two clubs are new ones, being organized during 
the winter, and although new' as a club, their shooters 
are old-timers, and are looking for other clubs to shoot 
matches with. 
The results of the first match were very satisfactory to 
both parties. The scores were shot in 5-shot strings, 
each shooter firing 30 shots. Here are the scores:

To maintain a straight, true taper bore has always been a hard proposition, except in the Lefever 
factory, where the taper system of choke boring was originated and first adopted. That is why 
Lefever shot guns give the greatest penetration, least recoil and most evenly distributed pattern. 
LEFEVER SHOT GUNS LASXm^FAME 
During 1908 the Lefever gun not only won the World’s Championship at the Olympic Games in London, 
Grand Canadian Handicap, Amateur Championship of Canada, Preliminary Handicap at the Eastern Handicap, 
tied in the Professional Championship at the Grand American Handicap, etc., etc., but it also won the 1908 
Amateur High Average of the United States in the double bird events. Left or right, it's all the same with a Lefever. 
Let us send you out catalogue. It tells all about the best system of bolting and boring, things you ought to know before you buy a gun.

Next Week 
RHYMES OF THE STREAM AND FOREST 
FRANK MERTON BUCKLAND 
Will be issued from the Forest and Stream press. This is one of the most delight¬ 
ful collections of verse of the year, offered in a form which makes it a most attractive 
gift or table ornament and with a peculiar appeal for the angler. 
Mr. Buckland is a true lover of the great world of living growing things, with a 
rare gift of expression. He enters into and interprets nature’s every mood. His verse 
is replete with the very spirit of out-of-doors. Above all he is a true “brother of the 
angle,” and his verse is a delight to the outdoor man or woman. 
“Rhymes of the Stream and Forest” is printed on heavy laid paper and is a per¬ 
fect reproduction of a fly-book, with inside pocket for clippings, and blank pages for 
copying original composition. Its border designs of trout flies heighten the illusion. 
Elaborately bound in buckram and silver.
