Narine and Field Club. 
Gravesend Bay, N. Y., March 17 —Following are the 
scores made yesterday: 
Practice shoot, 25 targets, scratch; E. H. Lott 24, P. 
R. Towne 21, C. B. Ludwig 20, J. H. Emanuel Jr., 19, 
T. M. Knox 14, E. D. Church 14, C. D. Sayre 12. 
Won by Mr. Lott. The weather conditions duritig this 
event were perfect. Towne was the runner up with 21. 
At fifteen minutes to three President Towne announced 
that all of the shooters stand at rest for five minutes, 
similar to dress drill, and at 3 o’clock to give one loud 
report of each gun in a memorial tribute to the burial 
of the Maine, which was done under President Towne’s 
direction. 
March cup (third leg), 100 birds, handicap:

E D Church . 20 84 
Won by Knox. This is the second leg he has on this 
cup, but as we have two more shooting days in this 
month, it is very hard to tell who are the real con¬ 
testants, as our shooters are very strange, shooting 75 
per cent, one day and about 50 the next; so we cannot 
rely upon Knox as the winner as yet. But we would 
like to see him win the cup, as he is the only shooter 
who has not won a prize this season.

At the beginning of the shooting during the afternoon 
Mr. Chas. D. Sayre stated that he was offering two 
prizes for the two best net scores on the day’s shooting, 
totalling everything. Each shooter shot at 175 targets 
during the day. Following are the scores;

The two scratch men (Lott and Towne) managed to 
beat out all the handicap men on even shooting. The 
first prize was' a silver medal, which Lott won, and the 
second prize, a bronze medal, was won by President 
Towne. One of our best handicap shooters, Sayre, fell 
down badly during the day, not taking one event, 
which is a thing very seldom happens to Mr. Sayre. 
But we hope that he does not lose courage, and that 
he will shoot better this coming Saturday. 
Our members were shooting at the Crescent Club on 
Wednesday, but the conditions were very bad. They 
managed to shoot very well, however, not being used to 
the trap over land, as we shoot over water. 
Geo. H. Bender, Supt. 
Yale—Westchester C. C. 
In a closely contested match between the Yale Gun 
team and a team from the Westchester Country Club, 
the former was defeated by the narrow margin of 4 
birds. The weather conditions were fair, except for a 
rather strong wind at the shooters’ backs. Individual 
high honors were captured by L. H. Thompson, ’13, 
whose excellent score of 92 far surpassed the best at¬ 
tempts of his competitors, while C. G. Bissel, ’15, was 
able to break but 69 of his 100 targets. It must be men¬ 
tioned that he was not only unfamiliar with the traps 
over which the match was shot, but was also, by an 
unfortunate accident, forced to use a gun to which he 
was entirely unaccustomed. The scores:

Wilmington, Del., March 16.—E. A. W. Everitt went 
after W. S. Colfax, Jr., holder of the trapshooting cham¬ 
pionship of the State of Delaware, to-day, and at the 
finish was still after him. Colfax shot „a beautiful match, 
breaking 99 out of 100 targets, with a' run of 92. Everitt 
made only 83. A dark, horse, new at the trap game, 
broke 98 out of 100, running 67 straight. H. H. Lakens, 
of Wilmington, broke 95, W. A. Joslyn and Victor du 
Pont each cracked 92. In defending the Class A chal¬ 
lenge cup, Everitt broke 47 out of 50, while the chal¬ 
lenger, W. A. Joslyn, smashed 44.

Larchmont, March 17.—The breath of spring and the 
pent-up hankering for the water kept all but nine gun¬ 
ners away from the traps here to-day. Of those who 
remained, W. J. Elias shone bringhtly by winning the 
15-target with 13, the 100-bird with 88, leg on monthly 
cup with 24. He also tied W. B. Short in the 50-target 
event with 42, and the leg on Field trophy after a shoot-

Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks— Solomons of the air. You can’l knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefever. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer of any $50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
81,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.
