THE BLACK SHELLS 
are the words which, if addressed to your dealer, 
will bring you the best shooting year in your 
experience. 
Our claim, that THE BLACK SHELLS will 
give you a 5% better record at the traps and 
10% better in the field, is worth proving. 
Our NON-MERCURIC PRIMER means 
sure and quick ignition every time. Our 
FLASH PASSAGE (the hole in the shell base 
through which the flame from the primer 
reaches the charge) is 100% larger than ordi¬ 
nary. There can not be a hang-fire of the 
smallest fraction of a second. 
Fog. rain, or even a ducking can not injure 
THE BLACK SHELLS, as thej' have our per¬ 
fect waterproofing. 
There are three classes of THE BLACK SHELLS: 
ROMAX, a black powder shell with 5-16 inch base. 
CLIMAX, the most popular smokeless (both dense 
and bulk) shell made. One-half inch base. 
AJAX, is the highest grade smokeless (both dense 
and bulk) shell made. It has a long one-inch brass base. 
Send for book about SHELLS. If you enclose 10c. 
we w'ill send a beautiful, colored poster, 20 x 30 inches, 
called “October Days.” Sure to please every shooter.

Waneeta B. C. Shoot. 
Ridgefieed, N. J., May 4.—A two-man team argument 
that has agitated this burg for some time was settled 
temporarily to-day by a difference of one bird in the 
score out of lOO shot at. M. I. Little and L. Lambrix 
vs. H. G. Brinkerhoff and L. Vincent furnished the 
afternoon enjoyment. The shooting was decidedly even. 
In the first 25 Little and Lambrix were three down, 
of which they made up two in the second string, the 
final score being 72 to 71. 
A return match will be .shot at the same grounds on 
May 18.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City. N. J., May 5. —At the bi-monthly club 
shoot of the Hudson Gun Club this morning, Carl Von 
Lengerke started the ball rolling with a straight score 
of 25, and finished with an average of 93 per cent, for 
the day: this is the first straight score that has been 
recorded on the grounds for the past eight months, so 
w'e think it worthy of mention, when there is one made. 
The morning was cold and rainy, with a very poor 
light to shoot with, and no doubt the poor scores made 
by some of our members can be charged to the above 
conditions, as we know that they are capable of return¬ 
ing much better scores under more favorable conditions. 
Dr. Groll, W. Hutchings, B. Beyersdoft and W. Roach 
kept themselves busy at the 20yds. mark, i'n shooting 
for purses made up between themselves, and when the 
game_ was over, there was not a great difference in their 
winnings, as all seemed to shoot about the same pace. 
They have arranged to meet at the next shooting date, 
May 19, and shcot for a very suitable purse, which has 
been deposited with the treasurer of the club. 
Everything is in readiness for the Hall trophy shoot 
to be held on the Hudson’s grounds on June 2, and we 
expect a large attendance on this date, the grounds will 
be open for practice at 9:30 A. M., and on Sunday. May 
19, our grounds are open for practice, so come out and 
see us.

second shoot of the season to-day at Elliott Park. Only

fob, donated by the Du Pont Powder Co. This match 
will be shot in series of 25 birds each practice day until 
a total of 200 birds have been shot at, the highest score

Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down m^lards 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 htfe^tr. 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 vrill 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 S50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
$i ,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.
