The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass.—The three-day Paleface registered tour¬ 
nament, held here April 27, 28, 29, proved to be a big 
attraction to the Boston and vicinity trapshooter, and it 
is safe to say that not one of the contestants but what 
enjoyed himself to the limit, even if the weather con¬ 
ditions were poor. 
In the first day’s events one Jim McArdle was all the 
candy, and cleaned up the entire crowd with an even 
90 per cent., which was going some with targets GSyds., 
due to the fair wind which helped them amazingly. Ellis 
Darton had the pros guessing, his last 20 being a daisy 
and coming within an ace of being general high gun. 
On the second day Dr. Burr, the X’ermont crackerjack, 
registered a decisive win of first high, shooting from the 
17yd. line. His nearest competitor was a limit mark 
shooter, some 7 targets less. 
On the third day Dr. Burr again cleaned the boards, 
and in such a manner as left no doubt that the Doctor 
was after all the honors. It was only when near the end 
that he began to threaten bigh average, and certainly his 
win of that was a peach after such a poor start. 
Jack Fanning copped the professional cup for the two- 
day average, and deserves great credit f'^r his great shoot¬ 
ing from tbe 2pyd. mark. J. A. R. Elliott was only a 
few targets behind with 328 as third among the experts.

KANSAS STATE SHOOT 
Won by 
The New THar/in Trap Gun 
At Lamed, Kansas, April 14, 15 and 16, Mr. O. N. Ford, shooting his new 
ZHezi/^ trap gun, took the one great prize—high amateur average—with 
the remarkable score of 
627 out of 660— 
As this was the only Marlin gun on the grounds, its superiority over all others is unquestioned. 
Mr. Ford has been shooting the Marlin less than two months and states that he has fired about 2000 
shots with a general average of over 95 per cent. He says “This is the best trap gun I ever shot.” 
The new Marlin trap gun is built expressly for trap work. It has special trap-shooting features not 
found in other makes and is sold at a price every real trap-shooter can afford. Write us to-day for 
catalog and our special circular giving a large, handsome illustration and detailed description of the
