Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., April 2.—The comparatively low 
scores in event No. 2 were largely owing to their being 
shot over Battery No. 2, the conditions being entirely 
different and entirely unfamiliar to all the shooters. 
The third event, for a fold trophy, was a hotly con¬ 
tested one between F. Sindle, of the North Caldwell 
Club, and Thos. Dukes, of the home club, Sindle 
finally winning by one point. 
The fourth event was easily won by W. S. 'Colfax, of 
Pompton Plains, with the good score of 24 breaks. 
Event 5 went to C. F. Brown, of the Winchester Arms 
Co., with a score of 24, while F. R. Woodmer, just re¬ 
cently returned from Panama, won out with 24. 
The final event at 50 targets, handicap, the first leg 
for the members’ 
trophy for April, 
was 
won by E. 
Wins- 
low, with a total 
score of 48.

The presence of some nineteen shooters made things 
rather lively this afternoon, some of the boys at times 
producing some very good scores. 
In event 1, G. W. Boxall easily led with 24 breaks to 
his credit.

McSherryslown Gun Club. 
McSherrystown, Pa., March 28.-—The second shoot 
of the McSherrystown Gun Club, held to-day, was well 
attended. An eight-man team, captained by McSherry 
and C. Smith, resulted in a victory for the McSherry 
team, 25S to 241; each man shot at 50 targets. Bernard 
Elsesser, of York, was manager, and ran the tournament 
in expert form. 
There was plenty of enthusiasm in the contests on the 
regular^ program, which included optional sweepstakes. 
Andy Somers, of Delta, admittedly one of the best in¬ 
animate target shooters in southern Pennsylvania, was 
high gun with the excellent score of 135 out of a pos¬ 
sible. 150 targets. Mr. Somers did not shoot in his usual 
consistent style, but his score was nevertheless creditable. 
Eli Zinn, of York, was second high gun with a score of 
130 out of 150 targets. Milo Glassick was third high 
with 126. Charles Ramsay, while he did not shoot 
through the entire program, made a splendid average, 
breaking 89 targets out of a possible 105 targets. The 
individual scores in the regular program follow:

Because it combines guaranteed shooting ability with the sim¬ 
plest and strongest repeating mechanism handles quicker and 
shoots harder than any other repeating gun. 
The Zffarf/n solid top prevents powder and gases blowing 
back; the side ejection of shells allows instant repeat shots. The 
closed-in breechbolt keeps out rain, snow and sleet, and the dirt, 
leaves, twigs and sand that clog up other repeaters. 
The double extractors pull any shell, two special safety 
devices prevent the explosion of a cartridge while action is un¬ 
locked, and the automatic recoil lock removes all danger from 
hang-fires, making it the safest breech-loading gun built. 
From the light-weight (654 lbs.)’16-gauge to the new 7K lbs. 12-gauge, 
///ar/z/i repeaters in all models, grades and styles are well-made, finely 
balanced guns, especially designed for hard shooting and quick handling.
