Columbua Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., May 8 .—Saturday afternon found a 
large number of sportsmen and persons interested in 
seeing the five-man team race with Chicago. The day 
was fine, with a south wind. A number of very interest¬ 
ing events Were on the programme, among which were 
the Wclf trophy shoot, the Du Pont trophy shoot, 
doubles, and the Chicago-Columbus five-man team race 
at 100 targets per man. The team race with Chicago 
was very lively, and the Columbus team made a very fair 
showing, with Mr. Chamberlain on 20yds., and the 
balance of the team at 18yds. Billy Webster finished a 
nose ahead of the rest with 95 to his credit, which was 
very nicely done. The targets were full 50yds. Dr. Van 
Fossen finished up with 94, a very respectable showing 
considering the Doctor has not been at all regular in 
attendance of late. Mr. Harry Smith was the third man 
with 93 to his credit. Mr. Shattuck, fourth with 92, and 
Mr. Chamberlain, who had two bad innings, finished with 
84, representing an average of about 91 5-8 per cent. Mr. 
Chamberlain got 20yds. on account of having broken 
98 in the Indianapolis-Columbus race two weeks ago. 
The Wolf trophy race was shot Saturday, and Mr. 
Bassell having been challenged by Mr. Hall, managed to 
hang on to the trophy by a safe margin, so some other 
fellow can now cross bats with Mr. J. Y. 
The Du Pont trophy for the season handicap conditions 
from 16 to 20yds., was started Saturday, and was jjuite 
a contest, and resulted, as the score will show a winner 
in Mr. W. V. Baker, who finished 45, 2 in the lead of all 
comers. Mr. Baker has not fired a gun since last fall. 
The Ohio State shoot will soon be on—first week in 
June—and the indications are that this will be a record- 
breaker for attendance. Inquiries from all over the 
State are coming in for programmes, and this is an in¬ 
dication showing interest. The grounds were never in 
better shape to entertain the boys, and we hope to see 
you all here.

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 
to 7 lbs., and a little beauty. If you do not know about it, be sure and write.

RHYMES OF THE STREAM AND FOREST 
FRANK MERTON BUCKLAND 
One of the freshest, most delightful collections of outdoor verse ofifered for 
many a day. They are the outpourings of a spirit which loves nature, the 
woods and streams and growing things, and appreciates its charms. 
Mr. Buckland’s verse has a charm that is at once rare and delightful. This 
book will appeal to every outdoor man or woman, and particularly to the 
“Brethren of the Angle.” 
Its form is as attractive as its pages, closely simulating the appearance of 
the standard fly-book, printed on heavy laid paper with ornamental border 
designs of trout flies, pocket for clippings, and blank pages for copying or 
individual composition. It is just the thing for the den, for the pocket, or 
for a gift to the friend who loves the big world of out of doors.
