Philadelphia Rifle Association. 
Philadelphia.— The weekly competitions of this As¬ 
sociations were shot Saturday, Oct. 24, on the Arlington 
^? n ^ e V. Tjansdowne avenue and Cedar lane, near Llanerch 
Pa. The revolver shooters had the range to themselves 
during the forepart of the afternoon, but were crowded 
out later by the turnout of riflemen, who were still shoot¬ 
ing when these scores were sent to press. We trust 
the bovs will turn out strong on our all-day shoot on 
Election Day, as our executive officer has something 
up his sleeve in the way of a special prize list that the 
beginners as well as the seasoned men will have a chance 
to win.

Oct. 22.—The weekly competitions of this Association 
were shot Tuesday evening. Oct. 20, at the indoor range, 
1506 Washington avenue. We were pleased to see Smith 
get a 94 with pistol, as well as to see how hot Hay 
was after him with a score of 90. 
As we only have about ten more shooting nights be¬ 
fore our fiscal year ends, we trust that the members who 
had not availed themselves of the privilege of our in¬ 
door and outdoor ranges will spruce up and give some 
of the new members a race for the numerous handsome 
prizes offered bv the Association

Looks Good for <he ‘‘Fox.’' 
At the recent Pennsylvania State shoot, Fred Coleman, 
of Pottsville. shooting an A. H. Fox gun, was the only 
one to go through the entire live-bird programme with 
3 , c ^ ean record of 45 straight kills. Mr. Coleman has 
shot at considerably over 200 birds with his new Fox 
gun anl has killed them all, the only one lost being one 
which fell dead out of bounds. 
This is a wonderful score, and bears evidence of the 
wonderful marksmanship of Mr. Coleman as well as the 
splendid shooting qualities of the Fox gun. 
Among other recent events was the winning by Mr. 
Hebbard, with his Fox gun. of the handsome silver cup 
given at the annual open shoot of Westport Gun Club, 
of \\ estport, Mass., and another event of considerable 
importance was the winning of the final championship 
for the season of the McKeesport Gun Club by Mr. 
L. W. Cannon. Mr. Cannon had one record of 40 
straight during the series, and the way he smashed the 
clay pigeons to powder was favorably commented on by 
a number of spectators .—A dv.

“ FUNDAMENTALS ” 
E VFRY time you depart from true fundamental principles you lose—lose the time and tem¬ 
per, suffer the wear and tear of working your way back to base. Every perfection in me¬ 
chanics is the result of applying a “fundamental. ” But the man who applies it first gets a 
patent. The other fellows have to rig up a “contrivance.” 
The best evidence of “ fundamentals ” is simplicity. The Lefever Shot Gun 
has from 15 to 25 fewer parts than any other shot gun. Only three pieces for 
firing, extracting and cocking. The Lefever is the climax of shot gun simplic¬ 
ity—free from old-time mechanisms, complicated with “improvements.” 
Lefever Shot Gun 
Our catalogue will tell you of barrel rigidity and take-up unequalled in 
any other gun. It tells about steel in these guns which is an honor 
to the names of Europe’s great steel makers—not a discredit. 
It also tells about taper boring and other things you must 
know if you are to invest your money right. It is a 
catalogue worth sending for.

With the Loader I could keep the boys with the repeater guns on the jump. I used it in Dakota, 
duck shooting, and my word for it I saved duck after duck that was crippled and would have been 
otherwise lost; it is the greatest invention since the hammerless gun came out. Use this if you want
