Jersey City Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 13.—Fifteen shooters were 
out at the Saturday afternoon shoot of the Jersey City 
Gun Club to-day and shot at over two thousand targets, 
but owing to the very strong wind, the scores were all 
very low. G. H. Piercy landed on top for the day, 
finishing with 81 per cent. H. H. Harvey was next with 
80 per cent. Dave Engle played third fiddle to the 
tune of 77 per cent., which is very unusual for Dave, 
who is most always up on top or near it. Probably the 
most remarkable score was made by Dannefelser, Jr., 
who has shot at targets only once before to-day, and 
notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions, turned in 
some scores that compared very favorably with some 
more of us that have been shooting the clays ever 
since they were first made. 
On April 20, we are going to have a special treat in 
the shape of a match between G. H. Piercy and E. E. 
Hallinger at 100 targets, and as the details have finally 
been completed after several weeks of negotiations, and 
as both shooters are now in the pink of condition, all 
the members 
are looking 
forward to a battle 
roya! 
! be- 
tween the two stars 
of our club.

the afternoon were made by Harry Higgs and E. Town-

Stamford—Greenwich. 
' Greenwich, Conn., April 13.—We had a team shoot 
here to-day with the crack bunch from Stamford Rod 
and Gun Club, and they treated us without any feeling 
I whatever. They beat us by 25 targets and didn’t seem 
to be worried at any stage of the game as to what the 
result would be. It was only a question of how many, 
I he final total was 460 to 485.

Rifle Note. 
“The Pittsburgh Revolver and Rifle Club were so 
pleased with the showing made in the indoor matches 
the past winter,” writes B. M. Bray, its secretary, “that 
a meeting was held on April 5 and Mr. George J. 
Knight was elected President; Dr. D. A. Atkinson, 
Range Master; Bert M. Brae, Secretary-Treasurer. We 
have since rented ground in West View, and the work 
of erecting a house at the firing point, digging a pit 
at a 200yd. rifle range, is under way. We will have 
20, 30, 50 and 75yd. revolver ranges also, and invite all 
the shooters in western Pennsylvania to visit, shoot and 
join. The annual dues are 83. Visitors may shoot as 
well as members.”

Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can't knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
vrith a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
ef 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 ether exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer of any 850 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Si ,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.
