the visiting sportsmen to attend a social gathering on 
Wednesday evening. The guests were delighted at the 
princely courtesy bestowed on them, and will ever have 
pleasant memories of unlimited hospitality and charming 
good-fellowship, associated with their meeting of the 
Elks. 
The horse won by A. T. Atkinston, of Newcastle, was 
a horse of usefulness as well as of name He was 
listed at $200 in the programme, and was said to have no 
discounts whatever. The winner was highly pleased.

some lorbearance by not taking all the prizes. 
Luther Squier as usual, was tranquil, alert and ef- 
ncient. He made a new record in answering questions 
which were irrelevant to the office work without a riffle 
in his unvarying urbanity. Nevertheless, it is extraordi¬ 
nary how many men, especially intelligent most of the 
time, ask foolish questions at a shoot some of the time

a bput the average of summer birds. There were many

were sitters. Once m a while a good bird was trapped, 
but it was the rare exception. Coleman, the winner

Why the Lcfever Can Always Be Kept Tight 
When your gun shoots loose and you can't correct it, you cannot discard it too soon. 
The slightest wear at the hinge joint (all guns wear at this point) leaves an opening 
between the barrels and the frame. 
When any natural wear occurs in the Lefever, simply remove the fore end 
and turn screw F” slightly to the right. This forces the barrel tightly against 
the frame and makes the gun absolutely tight again. 
The Lefever Shot Gun 
Simple 3-piece mechanism—no other gun has less than 6 parts. It has a 
cocking hook which takes the strain off the hinge joint! a dovetailed top 
fastener and bevelled compensating bolt; indicators to show when the gun 
is cocked ; the mechanism is independent of the lock plates Adjustable 
safety ; imported barrels and stock. The Lefever is the result of fifty years 
of experience. Every gun is tested minutely and must shoot dead center at 
40 yds. with even distribution and maximum penetration in a 30 -in. circle. 
Examination and comparison at your dealers will clinch our words. It is a perfectly 
accurate gun at the traps and the acknowledged leader of all shot guns.
