Highland Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 27.—There were seven events 
on the program here to-dav—six at 15 targets each, and 
one, a miss-and-out. Few of those taking part failed to 
land some trophy to show for the day’s powder burning. 
To stand in front of the traps with a swirling snow 
driven by a keen northeast wind directly into the faces 
of the shooters, with fingers numb with the biting cold 
so that there was little feeling in the trigger finger, took 
real sporting blood, and yet a big squad shot through 
the program, shooting until it was too dark to follow 
the targets. 
Jesse Griffith was high gun with 90. E. Fred Slear 
made the only straight; he broke his second string of 
15 without a miss. Griffith was the high man in Class A; 
Slear led the Class B shooters; Davis and Perry shared 
the Class C honors, and Harkins won in Class D. 
Winding up the afternoon’s sport, and as the last 
event was a protection race, the shooters being paired 
from their previous scores. This developed into a hard 
race, ending in a tie between Tansey and Perry and 
Fleming and J. F. Meehan, Sr., the latter took the place 
of Lindley, who found it too cold to continue. These 
teams tied at 27, and in the shoot-off Fleming and 
Meehan won. Griffith and Davis finished with 26, as 
did Davis and T. Meehan. Scores: 
No. 5 was a miss-and-out.

You Ask for Better Reasons 
® CARTRIDGES 
In U. S. Army tests, they have taken first place 
other brand. 
Our Non-Merairic Primer has several vitally important points of superiority: 
It contains no powdered glass to be ground into and rip away the lands, thus spoil¬ 
ing the rifling. It is vastly cleaner and has much less tendency to foul the barrel than 
any other primer. It is wholly without the inevitable tendency of mercury fulminate 
to make brass brittle. 
After the superiority of U. S. Ammunition was demonstrated by the severe tests of 
the U.S. Ordnance Officers, the Government abandoned, several years ago, the use of 
the old fashioned ground glass and mercury primers in its service ammunition. 
The list of matches in which U.S. Cartridges have won the highest honors would bo monoto- 
more 
nously long. If you want to learn the cliaracter and standing of U.S. Cartridges, ask any expert.

See how the Safety-bar (No. 4) when 
pushed back over the L-shaped ends of the Sears (No. 5) completely blocks them, making 
accidental discharge absolutely impossible. Every Davis Hammerless Gun has the Safety 
that “Blocks the Sears”. It is a Safe “Safety”.
