No Shortcomings—Not One 
A ny shortcoming in a shot gun, which seems 
almost trifling, may cause the gun to go wrong 
in the field, and spoil a long-planned expensive 
hunting trip. 
The Smith Gun has no shortcomings—not one. 
The six Hunter Brothers with inventions, precision 
workmanship, and experience, kept after the short¬ 
comings for 22 years, until the last and least im¬ 
portant one was wiped out. 
“6 times 22 years’ experierce” gives the shooter 
of a Smith Gun the fullest possible pleasure in the 
field, and the maximum game in his bag. A Smith 
Gun is “two guns in one,’’ bored to meet the com¬ 
bined requirements of field, blind, and trap. 
Ask your dealer to show you the new L. C. 
Smith 20 -gauge. It is 20 -gauge from butt to muz¬ 
zle. Write for catalogue of Smith Guns—every 
grade from $25 net to $1500 list. 
Illustration shows $102.50 
grade. Net price, with 
ejector, only $ 15 ', withHun- 
ier Ofie-Trigger, $100 net.

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 
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 Lefev^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 worA. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
lesseness 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 $28 gun the 
peer of any S 50 gun on the market. Upwards to

New York Slate Sportsmen’s Association. 
The_ most successful assemblage of members of New 
York Stale Sportsmen’s Association occurred at the 
three days’ tournament, closed at Syracuse, N. Y. 
on June 13. Ninety gunners blazed away through the 
ambient atmosphere, doing more or less damage to the 
aerosaiicers in proportion to the trueness of the point, 
which in most cases was satisfactory, although the scores 
are so illegible on the carbon sent us that we don’t 
know who were the high guns.

Pleasant Surprise.” 
New York, June 17 .—Editor Forest and Stream: The 
most pleasant surprise of my life came to-day with the 
arrival of a perfectly handsome gold watch, which was 
sent me by the sportsmen who assembled last week at 
the New York State Fish and Game Association tourna¬ 
ment at Syracuse. No cup, medal or other trophy ever 
brought so much pleasure to me. I don’t think I have 
ever been so grateful, nor felt such pride before. 
Though long accustomed to the good fellowship of 
these boys, such an unexpected and substantial expres¬ 
sion of such sincere friendship has stirred me, heart and 
soul. . 
I have given the best that my life could give to the 
shooting game, to good fair sportsmanship and to good 
fellowship, and this splendid remembrance cheers me as 
perhaps but few will understand, because it means they 
who gave it appreciate the lifetime efforts of your 
humble servant. 
It is no doubt through the modesty of those who
