Phit.adei phta, OcC 31.—Our postponed match with the 
( Fort Pitt Rifle Chib was shot at our Ar'ington ran ff e 
this afternoon under verv pd.-erse conditions, as only 
a few military shots were able to be present, and we 
were obliged to use two of the Schuetzen men to enm- 
I plete the team. The air was extremely raw, and the 
wind varied from 10 to 25 miles per hour, and as we 
were obl’c^d to shoot in the opeif, we were soon thor¬ 
oughly chilled under the=e adverse condTions. the team 
did all that enu'd have been expected of them, and in 
view of our low'scores and the above conditions we 
were great’v surprised to learn bv long distance ’phone 
1 that we had onlv been beaten bv one point. The follow- 
j ing are the scores of hrth teams and conditions: Five

Nov. 4.—The weekly competitions of this Association 
Look into the Future 
—with a screw-driver 
J UST how much pleasure and how much shooting efficiency do you expect to get out of a 
shot-gun from this Fall on? From 1908 to 1918—or to 1928, if you live that long? 
Instead of speculating and pipe-dreaming about it, use a screw-driver ! 
Remove the lock-plates of the Lefever Shot-gun ; the Future is there plainly pictured 
before you. The simple, substantial, three-piece lock system speaks of years of success for you. 
Lefever Shot-Guns 
Pull the trigger and you will see the lock work as it will work for a lifetime. The entire 
mechanism is attached to the frame, giving solid bearings. From 15 to 25 fewer parts than in 
any other shot-gun. 
Shooting loose is impossible ; a compensating screw at the hinge-joint forces the barrels 
against the face of the frame and the compensating bolt holds the barrels absolutely tight. 
All Lefever guns are high-grade—$28 up to $1000. No gun on the market below $50 can 
compare with the $28 gun. Send for our catalog. It is filled with valuable information.

‘HIGH GUN” 
at a Tournament or Club Shoot is pretty sure to 
be a PARKER. Why? Because it is generally 
found in the hands of the best shooters—men 
who know a good gun and will buy no other.

Treats minutely of the methods by which a dog, old or 
young, willing or unwilling, may be taught to retrieve, 
either by the force system or the “natural method.” 
Both the theory and practice of training are exhaus¬ 
tively explained, and the manner of teaching many 
related accomplishments of the pointer and setter in their 
work to the gun is treated according to the modern 
manner of dog training.

“3 in One” Oil Has No Equal 
for oiling trigger, lock, every action part. Does 
not dry out quickly like heavier oils, gum, harden 
or collect dust no matter how long gun stands. 
“3 in One” cleans outthe residueof burnt powder 
(black or smokeless) after shooting, leaving the 
barrel cleanand shiny. It actually penetrates 
the pores of the metal, forming a delicate per¬ 
manent protecting coat that is absolutely 
impervious to water or weather. No acid,
