The Return of the Victors. 
The American rifle team returned on Aug. 8. arriving 
in New York Harbor on the steamship New York. On 
board were General James A. Drain, president of the 
National Rifle Association, and nine members of the 
team. A delegation of military and naval officers on the 
U. S. Revenue Cutter Mohawk sailed out in the Nar¬ 
rows to bid the team welcome. A salute was fired, to 
which steamers and tugs added whistles long and short 
to swell the rejoicing. After the formalities had sub¬ 
sided, General Drain answered some questions as follows: 
“What about your treatment by the Olympian com¬ 
mittee?” 
“We received the best of treatment, and have no com¬ 
plaint to make. The papers were very fair to us, and the 
contrast with the treatment we received at Ottawa last 
year was very marked,” he renlied. 
“Did you recover the medals that were taken from 
you?” . 
“No; but the Olympian committee oromised to have 
two new ones struck off for Messrs. Winder and Bene¬ 
dict. They left London before the medals were pre¬ 
sented, and they were given to me to care for until I 
could hand them over to their winners in America. I 
had them in my room in the Hotel Victoria, and my 
room was entered during my absence and the two medals 
as well as some of my wife’s jewelry, were taken by a 
thief. I figure that the medals may be here in New 
York awaiting me. The Olympian committee was very 
much annoyed at the theft and immediately announced 
that the souvenirs would be duplicated for Mr. Winder 
and Mr. Benedict.” 
When questioned further as to the treatment of the 
American athletes, the General refused to talk. He said 
that the rifle team were satisfied in their treatment, and 
beyond that he did not care to speak. 
THE LEFEVER GUN 
WON 
World’s Highest Shooting Honors 
At the OLYMPIC GAMES, Uxendon, England 
In competition with guns of the greatest American and foreign manufacturers. 
Mr. Walter Ewing, of Montreal, Canada, shooting his LEFEVER GUN, is awarded the 
gold cup for premier honor in this great event, shooting 90 percent undermost adverse conditions. 
The load of shot in this coveted Championship contest was limited to 1)4 ounce, which even 
more conclusively proves the efficiency of our wonderful system of taper boring guns. This system 
was originated by this Company. 
There were three stages governing this contest, including birds thrown both known and unknown 
traps, all at unknown angles. 
Extract from foreign sporting paper: "To see this world’s champion break clay birds at 70 
yards, with a gun containing a game charge emphasizes the wonderful system of b.oring this Ameri¬ 
can Gun.” —
