The Palefaces. 
1 BpSTON M3SS., Dec. 25.—The Christmas Day shoot, 
neld this day was attended by an even dozen shooters, 
-and a more enjoyable afternoon would be hard to find, 
the attendance containing as it did a goodly number of 
the most enthusiastic Palefaces. ' 
In the race for high average, Rule, of Lowell, finally 
nosed out ahead: but Roy Hodsdon and Hodges made 
things considerably interesting for him to the last event, 
with Clarke holding down fourth average a target or 
two less. 
Hodges was some few targets too good on the added 
target race, but Roy and Clarke had a contest for the 
second prize, with the former on the long end at the 
finish. 
A special 25-bird event after the program give Presi¬ 
dent Comer a chance to show his heels to the rest of 
the company, the fine score of 24 being 
for Hodges and Clarke with 23. Scores:

does perfect work. It has the simplest aij 
strongest repeating mechanism. It can’t freeze 
or clog up in service, for the solid top and closed-, 
in breech keep out rain and all other foreign matter. 
The automatic, recoil-operated hang-fire safety lock, the 
ejection and double extractors are further features of safety and 
venience. The full choke guns shoot close and hard, and are un¬ 
equalled for ducks, geese, foxes and all long-range work. 
The new take-down construction is very simple, quick and efficient. 
You can take the gun apart in 10 seconds anywhere, yet the threads 
of barrel and frame are not cut away or weakened and the joint 
is always as strong and rigid as in a solid gun.

Enable Hunters to Reload their HIGH POWER RIFLE SHELLS, 
thus economizing and Getting Satisfactory Results 
We have hundreds of letters like the following: “ We have tested your G^s-Check Bullets, and tney 
appear to be in every way equal to factory metal jacketed bullets; at exactly the same elevation they gave fully 
as good targets. They heat the barrel less and we believe their action would give a longer life to the barrel. 
We have no hesitation in recommending these bullets for use in Marlin rifles if the reloading is properl v done. 
THE MARLIN FIRE ARMS CO.” 
. I HE SAVAGE ARMS CO. writes: “ We used our regular factory ammunition, to compare with yours, 
using the same adjustment of sights, we found your Gas-Check Bullets compared favorably in accuracy. We 
found no evidence of fouling or leading in the barrel.”
