Y OU know geese—hardy cruisers of 
the skies. They can get away with 
more shot than any other game bird. It 
takes a close, hard shooting gun to pene¬ 
trate their two-inch armor of feathers. 
Any man who swings a LEFEVER gun 
true on a quartering pair of geese does 
not question the result. He knows it— 
Two Clean Kills 
The reason Lefever Guns kill clean and 
sure and far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
It’s Lefever Taper Boring that gets the 
game. And you continue getting it with 
the same gun for a lifetime. Reasons: 
Lefever never-shoot-loose bolt, Lefever 
compensating screw on the hinge joint, 
Lefever simple three-piece action, and 
14 other original Lefever inventions. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
If you are a sportsman who values a 
gun for killing powers, send for free gun 
book and get Lefever wise. $28 to $1000. 
Owners of the $28 gun will not trade 
them for guns that cost twice as much.

South Side—Freehold. 
Arlington, N. J., Jan. 12.—If their anticipations do 
not fail of fruition, the South Side Gun Club, of Newark, 
and the Freehold Gun Club, of Freehold, N. J.—both 
but memories now—will shoot a six-man team match 
for the possession of the Shooting and Fishing trophy, 
emblematic of the six-man team championship of the 
State of New Jersey, and now in the possession of the 
South Side Gun Club. This match is scheduled to take 
place on the South Side grounds on the afternoon of 
Jan. 21. Preceding and following the main event, several 
sweepstake events will be shot. 
Shall hope to see your genial face among those present.

A 
GOOD START FOR THE NEW YEAR 
^"\N the grounds of the North Kentucky Gun Club, Dec. 31, 1909, 
II Mr. Frank Alkire scored 49 ex 50 live pigeons, at a distance of 
from 32 to 33 yards. Messrs. John A. P^yne and Geo. Walker 
scored 48 ex 50 at the same long distance. 
Jan. 1, 1910, in the Tri-State Championship Match, at live pigeons, 
Messrs. Geo. Wa'ker and John Schrack tied on 25 straight. On the 
shoot-off Mr. Walker won, scoring 10 straight, winning the champion¬ 
ship of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. 
These gentlemen all shot Parker Guns. It is a notable fact that 
the Tri-State Championship has been continuously won by the Parker 
Gun, since its inauguration.
