Overbaugh, Lloyd Lewis and Frank Lawrence shot 
with us. 
Hineline, of the South Camden Gun Club, clipped 97 
out of 100, with a borrowed gun at that._ What could he 
do with a gun he is used to, on such' grounds as we 
have? He had a straight run of 75, which is the longest 
ever made over these traps. 
Miss Reiker, of Lancaster, shot with us for the first 
time. Hope to see her often on the firing line. 
Powers had an average of 95, and Young 94. and Dr. 
Wescoat over 90, and Cook was right after the bunch.

KANSAS STATE SHOOT 
Won by 
The New 2/2ar/in Trap Gun 
At Lamed, Kansas, April 14, 15 and 16, Mr. O. N. Ford, shooting his new 
2Sai/la trap gun, took the one great prize—high amateur average—with 
the remarkable score of 
627 out of 660—95% 
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 
superb new Marlin trap gun.

FUR BEARING ANIMALS 
The book is scarce and eagerly sought for 
by zoologists, but it is offered for sale only 
rarely and is about as hard to obtain as Mr. 
Gurdon Trumbull’s “Names and Portraits of 
Birds.” 
Dr. Cones’ book deals with the wolverine, the 
martens or sables, the ermine, the mink and 
various other kinds of weasels, several species 
of skunk, the badger, the land and sea otters, 
and many numerous exotic allies of these ani¬ 
mals. It is illustrated by 6o figures on 20 plates. 
We have just secured a copy of this work in 
good condition which we offer at $4.50.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings, and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desides to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.
