former student of St. John’s Military Academy here, 
and W. S. Haight, of the Du Pont Powder Co. 
“The platform at trap No. 1, where distance handi¬ 
caps are shot, is entirely unprotected, so that con¬ 
testants were forced to stand in the driving rain. When 
the last 25 of the 100 target match was finished, it was 
found that C. G. Blandford was high with 75; W. H. 
Coleman, second, with 74; Stevens, Haight and Dietrich 
finished in the order named. The first three stood at 
scratch, 19yds.; Haight at 18yds., and Dietrich at 
17yds. Conditions were very bad, which can be realized 
when it is known that Mr. Stevens has won first high 
average in seven consecutive big shoots in the United 
States and Canada within the last three weeks, breaking 
93.8 per cent, out of 2,600 targets.”

Repeating SJiotgL 
The /7/ar/iri shotguns shoot hard and close and 
are built with an eye to overcoming weaknesses ofmjg 
average “ pump ” gun'. The breech is completely^- - 
closed in by the bolt and the top of the breech block#* 
is solid, so that no snow, sleet, twigs or any foreign J* 
objects can clog the action. This solid top pry-. V 
vents water from running down into the magazin^Tcjj 
and swelling the shells—one of the most aggravating ^/\ 
things that.can happen with a repeating shotgun.^ 
> 
With one-third less parts than any other repeater, 
simplicity and strength of mechanism insures perfect^^g-g 
operation; double extractors pull any shell: and automa 
recoil safety lock removes all danger from hang-fires, 
making the fflartifi the safest
