V/OU demand the be£t gun and shell— 
^ how about your powder ? 
Dead Shot Smokeless is 
The Powder of 
Guaranteed Stability 
That’s why you want it. No matter how 
much or how little shooting you may do, 
you want results. 
Lacking Stability, a powder will coun¬ 
teract the combined excellence of gun, 
shell and judgment. 
Remember, we guarantee the stability 
of Dead Shot. At the traps, in the field, 
at the shore, everywhere, you’ll always 
find it the same—clean shooting, hard 
hitting with light recoil, and absolutely 
dependable. Try it.

Y OU know Wilson’s Snipe-cork¬ 
screwing “wizards of the J wetlands ’ 
And you know, too, how you can al¬ 
most step on them in the marshes without see¬ 
ing them—brown feathers blended with brown 
grass. 
When you shoot Wilson’s snipe, you’ve got to 
mark where your birds fall. You have got to 
kill them dead or marking where they fall won’t 
do any good. They simply vanish if only crip¬ 
pled. 
If you shoot a Lefever and mark your birds, 
you will bag them every time, for Lefever guns 
are built to kill game dead. Any man who has 
held a Lefever on the mottled backs of a jumping 
pair of Wilson’s snipe does not question what 
the result will be. He knows it. 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason Lefever guns kill clean and sure 
and far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
LEFEVER guns 
Our catalogue will tell you many things you 
should know before you buy a gun. It explains 
the whys and wherefores, and will convince you 
that it pays to buy the best. Shall we send you 
one? Lefever Arms Company, 23 Maltbie

Hyde Park Gun Club. 
March 26 was warm and cloudy, but the rather threat¬ 
ening weather did not prevent quite a bunch of shooters 
from going out to the grounds for their weekly sport. 
Among those present was W. R. Chamberlin, of Colum¬ 
bus, better known in the trapshooting world, or this 
section of it. “Roundy.” Since joining the ranks of 
the “representatives,” Roundy has not been seen around 
here as often as formerly, but he always finds a welcome, 
even if he does trim the boys on the firing line. To¬ 
day he landed at the top with a score of 49. Rugg, who 
has been decidedly off in his work of late, is slowly 
climbing up the ladder again, and approached his former 
place to-day, getting second high on 86 per cent. He has 
got several rungs to climb yet, but he’ll make ’em all 
right. In the last event his gun blew back, but after 
cleaning out his eye, he got into the game again, and 
finished the event. The accident was painful, but, fortu¬ 
nately, beyond a discoloration under his eye, no damage 
was done. Schaefer’s score indicates that he is a be¬ 
ginner, and he looks like the kind that will stick until 
he masters all the difficulties. 
Several of the shooters tried an event of twelve pairs 
of doubles, Chamberlin breaking 17 and Stevenson 7. 
At twenty-four pairs, Rhodes scored 19 and Frahliger 
17. Rhodes has placed his name on the list of regulars, 
and will be at the grounds every week hereafter. The 
effects of the practice will soon show on the score sheet. 
De Mar arrived early and left early, staying only long 
enough to get' second high place among the amateurs. 
He is one of the steadiest shots in the club. 
On next Saturday, April 2, the club will offer a leather 
suit case to the high man in a 50-target event. This 
event is open to all amateurs, and if it seems popular, 
the club will offer a “worth while” prize frequently 
during the summer. 
Anderson shot in only one event, a break in his gun 
throwing him out for the balance of the afternoon. 
The club has still further improved its sky line by 
cutting down and trimming out a number of trees in 
the left field. The officers now have their eyes on an 
immense oak, which, they say, is doomed, unless the 
protest of the “forester” prevails. 
Plans are being talked over for a big merchandise 
shoot in the near future, possibly on Decoration Day, 
when an all-day shoot will be held. These shoots pay, in 
the interest they create, whether the club’s treasury is 
benefited or not. Beyond trying to make a club shoot 
pay expenses the financial proposition ought not to be 
considered. Sport for money ceases to be sport, but be¬ 
comes a business. The scores:

Frontier Rod and Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., March 27.—With the exception of a 
light northeast wind, which caused a towering target, 
ideal weather conditions favored the marksmen attending 
the Frontier Rod and Gun Club’s last regular shoot of 
March. Mr. Smith, of the Audubon Club, was high with 
93 per cent. Scores:
