The Pleasure Gun Club. 
Engt.eyvood, N. J., Feb. 24.— Herewith find scores of 
the team race between the North River Gun Club, of 
Edgewater, N. J., and the Pleasure Gun Club, of 
Englewood, N. J. The North River team won by 2 birds. 
A return race will be shot on Saturday afternoon, 
March 2, on the grounds of the North River Gun Club, 
at Edgewater, N. J. 
The weather on the 22d was anything but what we 
wished for, being extremely cold, and the direct and 
brisk west wind made the targets very difficult. Con¬ 
sidering these disadvantages, some fair scores were made. 
Thirty shooters participated in the five sweepstake events 
after the race. 
Several shooters from Oradell Gun Club, were present 
and a large delegation accompanied the victorious team 
from Edgewater. Scores:

Walnut Hill, Feb. 23.—The weekly competition of 
the Massachusetts Rifle Association was held at its 
range to-day, the piercing cold and the shoot held yes¬ 
terday being responsible for a small attendance of shoot¬ 
ers. There was but little pleasure to be derived from 
shooting, as the wind came strong and unsteady from 
10 o’clock, requiring changes in allowance of from 2 to 
10ft. between shots at long range, and the bright light 
was very trying. 
Several fine pistol scores were made by E. E. Patridge, 
his best being 960. He also had the best score, count¬ 
ing 39 at 1,000yds. 
In addition to the cups presented to the members of 
the victorious team in yesterday's match, the committee 
has decided to give a similar trophy to the competitors 
who had the highest total on each of the other three—

Feb. 22.—The Massachusetts Rifle Association observed 
the day by holding an all-day shoot at its range with 
rifle and pistol matches, open to all-comers. 
The enjoyment of the day was somewhat marred by 
the piercing cold, and this, with the glare of the sun¬ 
light on the snow, made shooting somewhat more of a 
task than pleasure, especially for the pistol and re¬ 
volver shots, who were present in good numbers. 
The event of the day was the team match, open to all, 
in which four teams of five men each were entered. 
Both pistols and revolvers were permitted, the latter 
receiving an allowance of 5 points per score if shot as 
military weapons with factory ammunition. For each 
deviation irom this standard as to sights, pull and am¬ 
munition, the allowance was reduced one point. 
The Massachusetts Rifle Association team won first 
position with a total of 1270 points, 59 better than the 
aggregate of the Myles Standish. The Providence team 
shot a close race for second place with the Miles 
Standish team, and finished but one point behind, while 
the Woburn team was only 8 points behind the Provi¬ 
dence men. One of the contestants on the latter team 
started so late that he was able to complete but two 
scores of ten shots and was given an average score to 
fill out his 30 shots. 
The match for the best three scores of the day was won 
by S. B. Adams on a total of 282 points. Dr. Bell taking 
second prize with 282. 
The bronze and silver pistol medal was won by W. M. 
Fawcett. 
Few rifle scores were made, interest centering chiefly 
in the team match, and as several of the regular rifle 
shots were engaged on the teams, the remainder found 
the vicinity of the redhot stoves fully as attractive as 
the cold firing points, not a shot being fired at long 
range. 
Any wear in the action can be immediately taken up by turning compensating screw b 
slightly to ihe right (see cut). Pretty simple, isn’t it ? Our handsome 1907 catalogue D 
fully describes the many advantages of the Lefever over guns of other manufacturers.
