Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., Jan. 16.—With the thermometer hover¬ 
ing close to the zero mark, it is needless to say that the 
j Boston Gun Club’s third serial shoot did not have the 
ji usual number of participants, though from the enthusi- 
! asm and good feeling there it was enough to cover a 
! much larger crowd and made the afternoon the most 
enjoyable one so far in the series. 
Good scores were seemingly up on the shelf, with the 
; possible exception of Comer, whose work on the last 
75 targets, ringing in four straight scores, was of the 
best and easily gave him all the honors of the afternoon. 
Dickey, as usual, kept plugging, though he looked some¬ 
what out of place not to be alongside of Griffiths, his 
usual high average competitor, 
j ■ Next shoot promises another story, as the chances are 
that the winner of Grand American Handicaps, will be 
! home from Canadian wilds, and be in his accustomed 
No. 1 position on the first squad. 
One of the welcome shooters from out of town was 
Geo. B. Prest, of New London, whose trapshooting fever 
' overcame the frigid weather, and though scores were 
not up to the usual 90 per cent., some of the events were 
shot through with that usual easy style of his. 
j . Frank, the club’s usual steady top-notcher, was off 
form in every particular, not once showing a glimpse 
of his 1906 form. 
Jack Hardy, of the 1895 class of experts, started in with 
a rush, and held the lead for a while, his visit having 
to be cut short by the early train. The next visit, which 
we understand is not far off, will be looked forward to 
by all, as most assuredly the present-day trapshooter de¬ 
lights in the return of any of the old guard. Scores:

Cincinnati, O., Gun Club Co. 
Cincinnati, O., Jan. 19. —The wind and rain storm 
which has swept this section for three days past made 
shooting such a difficult and unpleasant proposition 
that only a few of .the faithful would tackle the game 
to-day. 
Many of our members had business interests affected 
by the flood conditions in the city, which kept them 
from attending. 
Roanoke and Fredericks were at the grounds, but 
i could not be induced to face the traps in the wind, 
preferring a game of pinochle in the circle about the fire.

Model 1907 Self-loading Rifle .351 Caliber, High Power 
“ The Gun That Shoots Through Steel" 
Standard rifle, 20-inch round nickel-steel barrel, pistol 
grip stock of plain walnut, not checked, weight about 724 
pounds, number of shots, 6. LIST price, $28.00 
A HANDY, HANDSOME, POWERFUL GUN: The Model 1907, . 35 1 
Caliber High Power is a six-shot take-down, handsome and symmetrical in out¬ 
line and simple and strong in construction. It is a serviceable, handy gun from 
butt to muzzle. There are no moving projections on the outside of the gun to 
catch in the clothing or tear the hands, and no screws or pins to shake loose. 
It is easily loaded and unloaded, easily shot with great rapidity and easily taken 
down and cleaned. 
THE .351-CALIBER HIGH POWER CARTRIDGE represents the latest 
development in powder and cartridge manufacture. Although small in size, it 
develops tremendous velocity and energy, making it powerful enough for the 
largest game. The soft-point bullet mushrooms splendidly on animal tissue, tear¬ 
ing a wide killing path. The regular cartridge will shoot a metal patched bullet 
through a bi-inch steel plate. This most modern type of cartridge also possesses 
the added advantage of economy. Owing to the comparatively small amount 
of metal used in the shell, it costs much less than old style cartridges no more 
powerful. 
THE WINCHESTER SELF-LOADING SYSTEM is positive, safe, 
strong, and simple. There is nothing experimental about it. Tested by use and 
abuse for two years, it has proved its absolute reliability and practicability. In 
these qualities there is no other self-loading system that approaches it. We 
were the pioneer manufacturers of Self-loading rifles. 
A SIMPLER AND MORE HANDY TAKE-DOWN device than that used 
in the Winchester Model 1907 is next to impossible. A few turns on the take¬ 
down screw, found at the rear of the receiver, and the rifle is separated into two 
parts, the stock and action being in one and the barrel and receiver in the other. 
When taken down, the exposed working parts are all accessible, making it easy 
to clean the action. 
RAPIDITY OF FIRE: This rifle has a detachable magazine, which can 
be inserted in the gun when the bolt is closed, making loading quick, safe and 
easy. The superiority of this style of magazine for this type of rifle was demon¬ 
strated at the recent National Matches at Sea Girt, when the Winchester Self¬ 
loading system won all the competitive prizes for rapid-fire shooting; the record 
being fifty shots in one minute against twenty fired from the other self-loading 
rifle having a fixed magazine. Still another advantage of the detachable maga¬ 
zine is that it makes it unnecessary to work the cartridges through the gun in 
unloading. 
COMPARISON IS CONVINCING: We know of no better way for a 
prospective purchaser to become convinced of the superiority of the Winchester 
Model 1907 .351-Caliber High Power Rifle than by comparing it with other makes 
of similar guns. Look at them, handle them, price them, load them, take them 
down, shoot them, test their penetration, killing power and range if you will. In 
fact, compare them in any. way you see fit.

Anderson’s score, made in Saturday’s gale of wind, 
was a very creditable performance. , 
Mr. Dreyfus, of Milwaukee, dropped in Ihursday, and 
demonstrated that he is no new hand at the game.

Sim Glover, at the amateur handicap tournament, 
Philadelphia, jan. 19, broke 96 out of 100 and 93 out of 
100 in the sliding handicap from 17 to 20yds., making the 
highest score for both the Sportsman’s Journal trophy 
and Manager’s trophy with his Sauer gun.— Adv. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 26.—The weather conditions to¬ 
day would not permit of good scores. An icy north wind 
blew the snow across the trap and caused many a 
“goose egg.” Col. Brandreth brought two special prizes 
with him to-dav. The second event at 25 targets, misses 
as breaks, handicap, for a win on the shotgun and a 
special prize of a silver match box, developed a surprise 
in the shooting of Little Mac, who made high scratch 
score, 18, taking the event without using any part of 
his handicap of 9. It was a popular win; but Mac fell 
down to 11 on the third event, and Blandford won the 
silver syrup jug by a lead of one target over Brewerton 
and Macdonald. Coleman’s poor showing can be attrib¬ 
uted to the strange gun he was using—though he won 
all of the sweeps.
