Nates. 
Mr. R. O. Heikes was a sick man during the tourna¬ 
ment. He was much fitter for a doctor’s care than for 
the arduous labors of a competition. His indomitable 
courage carried him through. Mr. Frank Riehl some of 
the time called “Pull” for him. He holds two great 
qualities wonderfully, namely, his marvelous skill with 
the shotgun and the affection of every one who knows 
him. 
Presentations were more numerous than at other Grand 
American Ffandicaps Mr. Ed. Banks had worked up 
Mr. Bill Armstrong’s dainty green hat into a marvel of 
poetic composition. The hat was fastened in the middle 
of a shallow pine box, and draped on each side of it 
were bunches of assertive red hair, which were sup¬ 
posed to be understudies for Bill’s whiskers. Some 
short dudeens festooned the central gem, and the com- 
I posite whole was very artful. Mr. Banks made the 
presentation to Mr. Duff in the main building of the 
club grounds, about 2:30 on Thursday. He recounted 
that the hat was purloined at Indianapolis last year, and 
| that a full year had been devoted to its embellishment 
for this occasion, etc. In reply, Mr. Duff made some 
! felicitous remarks. He in turn had a trophy to present 
| to Mr. J. J. Skelly. It was a rejected paint can plas- 
| tered with labels, and its discovery and capture were 
I set forth in wonderful verse by Wm. Armstrong (poet 
laureate) in a dedication to Edward Banks, as follows: 
“On the banks where the mustard grew. 
Stood the silent, sad and defeated few, 
Banks and Duff and Windy Bill, 
Gracing the brow of yonder hill; 
And while gazing in the copse close by, 
Tom Duff this old paint- pot did spy. 
Making his actions suit his thoughts, 
From out the copse the cup was brought, 
And presented to Skelly to grace his den, 
Much as it came from the wayside fen.” 
There was much applause. In a few well chosen re¬ 
marks, consisting of about thirteen choice words, Mr. 
Skelly, standing on a pine box, responded to Tom 
Duff’s presentation speech. 
The Winchester Co. trade representatives, in attend¬ 
ance at the shoot, to the number of twenty-six, presented 
Mr. Seneca G. Lewis, of the same company, with a 
valuable piece of silver plate. This pleasing event took 
place in the parlor of the Palmer House on Wednesday 
evening. The affair was a complete surprise to Mr. 
Lewis, yet he acquitted himself well in his thankful re¬ 
sponse. Mr. Lewis’ unvarying amiability and fairness 
and efficiency have won the esteem and loyalty of all 
his subordinates, as well as a world of genuine friend¬ 
ship of all devotees. 
Mr. W. L. Keplinger, vice-president of the Peters Co., 
made the trip from Cincinnati to Chicago in his touring 
car. He had with him Mr.' Harry King, and Mr. Normal 
L. Richmond, two of the company’s superintendents. 
The genial and irrepressible T. H. Keller was in evi¬ 
dence everywhere. He shook hands with many well- 
known riflemen who were present, for his army of 
friends are about equally divided between the shotgun 
- and rifle. ' Tom may not shoot quite so well as some 
others, but he is powerfully strong on delivering the 
, goods. 
The Graham brothers of Ingleside, Ill., made an ex¬ 
cellent showing. 
The Handicap Committee was the subject of much 
discussion. Up to the present time, alas, they hav re¬ 
ceived no cups, emblematic of tender affection. 
A number of banquets enlivened the gathering of the 
gladiators. 
Everyone had a good time all ’the same.

Garfield Gun Club. 
Chicago, June 22. —At the second shoot of the second 
series, held to-day. only eleven shooters faced the traps. 
The day being rather windy for trapshooting, must have 
scared quite a number of the shooters, as they had 
promised to be with us and help arrange what prizes 
we should set up for our Fourth of July shoot. We 
expect to have some fine prizes, and anticipate a large 
attendance. The prizes will be for members only, but 
we extend a cordial invitation to all those who wish, to 
shoot. 
The Class A’ trophy was won by Mr. George with 21 
out of 25. Class B by Mr. Thomas with 21 out of 25. 
Class C by Mr. W. A. Jones with 21 out of 25.

Why the Lefever Can Always Be Kept Tight 
li hen your gun shoots loose and you can't correct it y 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 te'kted 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. 
We have a fine catalogue to send you—may we have your name and address?
