Y ou know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
docks—Solomons of the air. You can’t 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 Lefei^er. 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.

Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the S 28 gun the 
peer of any S50 gun on the market. Upwards to

Batavia, N. Y., June 8.—At our regular shoot to¬ 
day Gardiner was high gun with 84 out of 100, winning 
point on the Dn Pont trophy with 23 out of 25 in the 
last event. Fanning was second, 80 out of 100. shooting 
a strange gun. "Thirty-nine,” Baker and Williams tied 
for the cut-glass dish prize on the regular program of 
50, with added target handicap. They tied again on the 
shoot-off in the last event, and then it was a miss-and- 
out. “Thirty-nine” winning on the fifth target. We were 
very glad to have as guests to-day Messrs. H. D. Fan¬ 
ning, New York City; Ebberts, Buffalo; Kershner, 
Rochester: Fisher, Elba. We are revising our mailing 
lists for our tenth annua! tournament, which will be held 
.Nug. 14. If you did not get a program last year please 
send your name and address for our list. Scores follow: 
Wa-Shington, D. C., June 9.—The Columbus 
memorial unveiling here yesterday militated against the 
attendance at the regular shoot of the Analostan Gun 
Club. However, fourteen of the faithful were out and 
had a good time. We had as a visitor Col. G. F. Ham¬ 
lin, of the Du Pent force, stationed at Philadelphia. All 
enjoyed meeting this genial gentleman. He maintained 
his reputation as a shot, and that of his firm by being 
the high man for the day, scoring 92 out of 100. Let 
me tell you, it was good shooting, too, for the targets 
were hard. Lieut. Barber was next with 85, while Per¬ 
kins and Huseman were netxt in line with 84 and 83 
respectively. Ford was high in the doubles, scoring 2] 
out of 12 pairs, and would have made a much better 
showing in his singles, had he not been shooting a la 
Olympic, and doing other fancy stunts. The scores:

New England—Delaware. 
The next shoot of special importance scheduled at 
the Du Pont Gun Club will be the 100-bird race on 
June 29, between a ten-man team representing “all New 
England,” and a ten-man team representing “all Dela¬ 
ware.” Teams will be made up of the best shots from 
the New England States, and from the flower of Dela¬ 
ware’s shooting fraternity. The New England team 
will arrive in town from Boston on the Federal Express, 
leaching M'ilmington Saturday morning 7:10 A. M., and 
will be entertained at breakfast by the management of 
the gun club. The morning will be given over to fur¬ 
ther entertainment for the visitors, showing them the 
town and in practice shooting. The race itself will start 
shortly after 1:00 P. M. The visiting team, which is 
under the management of the well-known Paleface 
Shooting Association of Boston, will probably be made 
up from the following amateurs: W. F. Clarke, Frank 
Hilliard, Dr. Newton, Chas. Blinn, G. L. Proctor, E. 
Randall, E. C. Griffith, Ray Richardson, C. H. Marden, 
H. L. Snow, Mayor E. E. Reed, H. H. Knight, Silas 
B. Adams, Guy Randall, S. W. Winslow, Jr., R. L. 
Spotts, W. D. Flinds. 
The “all Delaware” ten-man team will probably be 
chosen from the following shooters, whose names reg¬ 
ularly appear among the high score winners at the 
local club: A. B. Richardson, V\’m. Foord, W. S. Col¬ 
fax, E. A. W. Everitt, J. B. McHugh, J. H. Minnick,

Chas. W. Gardiner, Sec’y. 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
The attendance at the weekly shoot of the club was 
fair, though several of the regulars had their fill of 
shooting at the State tournament and stayed at_ home 
to rest. Flammerschmidt was high gun, breaking 48 
out of the last 50 and going out with 109 out of 125, or 
88 per cent., a mark lower than usual for him. Besuden 
is coming back into the game again, and will do better 
work after more practice, he broke 44 out of the first 50, 
but failed to keep up that gait. Eustis was out for the 
first time this year: his score is not what he puts up 
when in practice. The next shoot of the club will be 
held on June 15, when several visitors from other local 
clubs are expected. Weston is a new man on these 
grounds, but evidently not new in the game. Barrett 
only gets out once in a long time; he shot a 74 per cent, 
gait in the first 50, but fell down in the 25s, probably 
they were too long for him. Frohliger did his shooting, 
as usual, when someone else had got through, so that 
he could be spared as scorer, etc. Ertel is a frequent 
visitor across the river, but seldom gets out here; his 
score was lower than he makes on familiar grounds.

Benton Gun Club. 
Benton, 111.—rainy day for the first day cut down 
the attendance some at our tournament. May 28-29, but 
at that we had one of the best shoots that has ever been 
held in southern Illinois, for there was a bunch of jolly 
good shooters here. There were a number of pro¬ 
fessionals, who took care of the shooting'. Louis Ebbert, 
a trade representative, was cashier, so there is no ques¬ 
tion but what his end of the shoot was ably handled. 
A. Ammann was as jolly as ever:
