GREAT INTERNATIONAL SHOOTING 
TOURNAMENT AT THE PANAMA PA¬ 
CIFIC INTERNATIONAL EX¬ 
POSITION. 
Marksmen of California and of the whole 
Pacific Slope are jubilant over the decision of 
the Exposition authorities to permit the use of 
the telescope sight in the great international 
Panama-Pacific shooting tournament to be held 
on the Shall Mound range from August 8 to 
September 26. The question whether the tele¬ 
scope sight would or would not be permitted was 
a mooted question all over the country. The 
decision means that the greatest marksmen of the 
country are to be relied upon to take part in the 
tournament. Some of the leading marksmen of 
the bay district are practicing daily for the great 
event, the most important shooting tournament 
in the history of this country. There will be 
shooting for soldiers, sailors, recruits and vet¬ 
erans, cadets, students of academies and col¬ 
leges, indoor and outdoor contests, natural and 
artificial light, rifles, pistol and revolver shooting. 
The tournament will be inaugurated by a bril¬ 
liant military demonstration, in which civic bod¬ 
ies will participate. The officers in charge pre¬ 
dict that fully 40,000 men will be in line on that 
occasion. Many shooting societies from all sec¬ 
tions of the country will be represented. 
UNCLE JOHN REDFERN. 
Sioux City, la.—Probably in no gun club in the 
United States, or in any other country, for that 
matter, is there an active trap shooter who is 
as old as “Uncle” John Redfern, a member of the 
Soo Gun Club. “Uncle” John is 78 years of age 
and will add another summer to that list in Au¬ 
gust, when he will have reached the ripe old age 
of 79. 
“There’s nothing like it, boys, to stay young,” 
said Redfern, in commenting on trap shooting. 
“I have been a member of the Soo Gun Club 
since it was organized in 1895, and I have not 
missed one of the tournaments in all those years, 
I have been out in the woods and shot at birds 
of all kinds, I fired many a shell during the 
Civil War, but nothing ever gave me quite the 
pleasure that a pop shot at a flying blue rock 
does. 
If you want to keep young, just get out every 
Sunday morning and feel the recoil of an old 
blunderbuss against your shoulder. I tell you, 
it puts spice into your life and makes the red 
blood tingle through your veins in a way noth¬ 
ing else can do. I expect to be standing in front

Here You Can Catch a Different Fish 
for Every Day in the Year! 
Did you ever catch an Aneel Fish, Squirrel Fish, Parrot Fish, 
Four-eyed Fish or Flying Fish? Very likely not if you’ve never 
been to Bermuda. Here, within 2 days of New York, by a 
magnificent Ocean steamer, is a veritable fishermen’s paradise. 
In addition to the many strange and beautifully marked fish 
are game fish which delight the heart of a real fisherman before 
they are finally landed. You may catch fish which range in size 
from a few inches in length to the gigantic Rock Fish which 
measures 5 feet and tips the scale at 200 pounds. Spend your 
vacation in Bermuda, where to the joys of the rarest fishing 
treat you have ever known, you may indulge in the delights of 
visiting a quaint country, the beauty and charm of which will 
prove an added enchantment.
