filled his gun full of Sparrow’s lead pencils and shot 
at one. He afterward found a pencil sticking through 
a target. 
Charlie Young requested that lanterns be hung on

Del Gross was busy telling how it happened when he

Did any one see the smile on Tavlor when T. A. 
Neill landed the individual championship? 
Lefever, the son of Mr. Dan Lefever, the pioneer gun 
manufacturer, shot the second day. He is now with 
the Three-Barrel Gun Co., of Moundsville, as their ex¬ 
pert. We know what the Lefever family are on the 
gun line. Nuf sed. 
W. S. Hearne, of the Marlin Arms Co., had the mis¬ 
fortune to break a spring in his gun, and shot only part 
of the programme; but from the way he hustled around 
he more than made up for the shooting. 
Mr. F. C. Percival (Cole), who has been ill for some 
time, was with us and shot part of the time. He has 
been the president of the Association since its first 
shoot, was unanimously elected to presidential office 
for the coming year. Always a perfect gentleman, work¬ 
ing for the good of the Association, we wish him a 
speedy recovery and hope he may be able to shoot the 
programme through next year.

George Lilley was so busy telling how to protect the

John Taylor’s run of 138 was the long one. He got 
one of the cast-iron kind, which would not break; that’s 
what stopped him.

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., May 15.-—Shooters to the number of 
twenty-seven journeyed to the Paleface shooting grounds 
to-day to see just what Superintendent Dickev had in 
store for them in the way of a trap shoot. As usual. 
O. R. was there with the goods, and the prestige of the 
grounds is still upheld in the manner that all shooters 
like; and certainly nothing add's more to the real en¬ 
joyment of an afternoon’s shoot than what comes from 
a nice working set of traps. 
Visitors from far and near lent a hand to make it 
more than an ordinary occasion, Dead Shot Clancy, of 
Chicago, doing a few clever stunts during the pro¬ 
gramme and taking fourth high average in that bunch 
proved sufficiently well that the next visit of this expert 
means almost a clean slate for the high average winner. 
Mayor Reed, with his usual smile for all lovers of 
the shotgun, gave up a few moments of his valuable 
time just to show the boys that even with the irksome 
duties of chief magistrate of a thriving city, an after¬ 
noon’s lay-off with a gun nearby, brought out a regular 
Reed rapid-fire wit enjoyed by all. 
C. D. Cook, of Providence, forsook the wild and wooly 
long enough to tie for first in Class B, only to^ be shot 
out by Cavicchi in the special 25-bird event, whose spe¬ 
cialty on tie shooting seems to be straight scores. 
Another visit is assured, however, and then one of the 
Paleface special fobs may adorn an expanded chest of 
one of Providence’s finest. 
Roy’s win of high was a popular one, as Roy is held 
in pretty high esteem by all of the Boston boys, and a 
95 per cent, score is a winner in most any company. 
Lvnde easily copped the third prize in a runaway race, 
83 coming pretty near being good enough to consider 
him in a class higher than this. Scores:

WINCHESTER 
FACTORY LOADED SHELLS 
As Usual Win the Coveted Honors 
IN PENNSYLVANIA AND WEST VIRGINIA 
The Pennsylvania State Shoot, held in 
be Lebanon, May 20-23, was another one of 
^ those big bouts with the scatter gun where 
< practically all the honors were won with 
Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. W. R. 
Crosby led the felicities, taking high profes¬ 
sional average. He was followed by Lester 
German, who was “close up.” For the ama¬ 
teurs, Mr. H. E. Buckwalter proved that he 
had made no mistake in adopting Win¬ 
chester Shells for his regular load, by leading 
the strong field. “Kelcey,” who was second, 
“tore oft” 100 “straight,” the longest run of 
the tournament, which convinced everybody 
that his holding and Winchester loads were perfect. 
Messrs. Heil and Newcomb, who were third and fourth 
high amateurs, helped emphasize the fact that Winchester 
shells are the only ones to shoot. 
While Pennsylvania was piling up laurels for Winchester 
Shells, West Virginia was too. At the State Shoot there, 
J. M. Speary, with a Winchester Shotgun, won high 
amateur average; while J. R. Taylor, with like gun and 
Winchester Shells, led the professionals. The State 
Championship was won by Mr. T. A. Neil, with the win¬ 
ning Winchester Shells. 
If you want to do the best shooting possible for you, 
shoot Winchester Shells. Remember they are
