Because it combines guaranteed shooting ability with the sim¬ 
plest and strongest repeating-mechanism handles quicker and 
shoots harder than any other repeating gun. 
The 772ar/i/t solid top prevents powder and gases blovving 
back; the side ejection of shells allows instant repeat shots. The 
closed-in breechbolt keeps out fain, snow and'sleet, and the dirt, 
leaves, twigs and sand that clog up other repeaters. 
The double extractors pull any shell, two special safety 
devices prevent the explosion of a cartridge while action is un¬ 
locked, and the automatic recoil lock removes all danger from 
hang-fires, making it, the safest breech-loading gun built. 
From the light-weight ( 6 % lbs.) 16-gauge to the new 7 3 j lbs. 12-gauge, 
Zftarfin repeaters in all models, grades and styles are well-made, finely, 
balanced guns, especially designed for hard shooting and quick handling.

Jos. H. Hunter shot at 5 targets in event No. 1. 
Since Dr. Shoup has taken the harness off his gun, he 
is doing better. 
Dufour was wrestling with a slow load. When he 
changed shells in the medal event, he made a big im¬ 
provement. 
Mr. Lord, of the Tribune Target Co., was a visitor. 
Capt. Mitchell, U. S. A., late of the Philippines, Cuba 
and Alaska, renewed old friendships. The boys still call 
him “Billy.” He has not forgotten how to shoot. He 
had better shooting in Alaska than in any of the other 
places. 
Our worthy president, C. S. Wilson, got hold of a 
gun that suited him in the club contest and did some 
good work. He will find one to suit him after awhile, 
and then look out. 
Uncle Billy Wagner has fitted a pair of 28 gauge bar¬ 
rels on his 12-gauge Parker. They are a curiosity and 
the workmanship is superb. If any one doubts Uncle 
Billy’s ability as a gunmaker, a look at these barrels 
would convince him. 
Mr. Robinson, one of our new recruits, is doing fine. 
Dr. Stine quit the day with 23 out of 25. We look for 
him to land among the top-notchers soon.

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., July 19.—There were sixteen shooters 
who attended the regular shoot of the Hudson Gun Club 
to-day, and spent a pleasant morning at the traps. The 
day was perfect for trapshooting, there being a cool 
breeze stirring, which contributed to the comfort of the 
shooters and did not in any way interfere with the 
flight of the targets. 
The feature of this morning’s shoot was event No. 5, 
which was the last shoot for the Dupont trophy, and 
was won by Kelley with a total of 93, he scoring 24 to 
win out. Putney and he tied at the last shoot, Putney 
breaking 23 losing by one bird. 
Several of the boys shot a race to see who would pav 
the expense of a fishing trip to the mountains, and as 
Mr. Heritage was the low man, we all expect a good 
time.
