Nov. 7.—The Indianapolis Gun Club had a splendid 
day for its regular weekly club shoot to-day, and quite 
a large number of shooters turned out to avail themselves 
of the last opportunity that would offer to renew ac- 
acquaintance with their guns before the commencement 
of the open hunting. ,. . 
The weekly event of the English Hotel cup disposal 
contest evoked a close, spirited race among the con¬ 
testants. Again the handicap men failed to make any 
headway toward winning the trophy. Denny, shooting 
from 16yds., broke 48 out of the 50 targets shot at by 
him in the event, winning it by a margin of one target 
over three others, who.each scored 47. 
The rules governing this contest provide that when a 
contestant wins one event, shooting from 16yds., (and 
all contestants continue to shoot from 16yds., until they 
win one event) he shall thereafter, in all subsequent 
events in which he participates, shoot from 18yds. . 
Next Saturday afternoon, therefore, Denny will join 
Britton, Michaelis, Bell and Parry at the handicap line, 
each of whom have won one leg of the indeterminate 
series of shoots. There is considerable speculation among 
those who are watching the progress of the contest as to 
who will be the next one to work his way to the coveted 
berth. Saturday’s results demonstrated that there are 
many possibilities. The scores were: Denny 48, Bren¬ 
nan 47, Parry (18) 47, Dixon 47, Bell (18) 45, Britton (18) 
44, Miller 43, Farrell 42, Scholler 41, Neighbors, 38, 
Wilson 37, and Lewis 37. 
Saturday’s event in the contest that has been running 
since February for the Britton trophy, the emblem of 
amateur championship among club members for the 
current year, a sliding distance handicap shoot, faded 
to develop any change in the relative standing of the 
qualified contestants. It did, however, confirm Parry 
as the winner of the trophy. Moller was the only one 
who had any show to equal or excel Parry’s average in 
the contest, but he fell so far behind in the last event 
that it would now be impossible to overcome Parry s 
lead, even though he might make a perfect score in the 
one remaining event of the contest, which is scheduled 
for Nov. 21. The scores of those who took part in the 
event of last Saturday were: Denny (18) 49, Bell (18) 44, 
Moeller (20) 39, and Dixon (18) 32, each out of 50 targets.

WINCHES TER 
Lever Action 
For wild fowl shooting the io gauge Winchester Lever Action 
Shotgun always has been and always will be popular. It is a game 
getter” and the only io gauge repeater on the market. It is bored 
to handle either black or smokeless powder equally well, and for 
strong, hard and accurate shooting it cannot be beaten. The 
action of the gun is strong and positive and not apt to get out of 
order from exposure or any ordinary handling. In iact, these
