When you shoot Wilson’s snipe, you’ve got to 
mark where your birds fail. 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 I.efevc*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.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, D. C., April 10.—The members of the 
Analostan Gun Club had a hard proposition to face on 
Saturday afternoon, April 9. The wind was terrific, and 
the boys who reported are to be congratulated on making 
the showing they did. The club is in a prosperous con¬ 
dition and this is evidenced by the growing membership,

Messrs. Bray, Miller and Capt. Black are new members, 
but with fine weather and decent targets their scores 
are sure to be improved. 
Capt. Dufour had to run the shoot, and he says a man 
cannot do justice to himself and do two things at once. 
The trustees have about decided upon a plan for the 
club prize contests for the season. The season’s contest 
will be at 250 targets; 25 to be shot on each Saturday 
afternoon. At the conclusion of the matches the ten 
best scores of each shooter will be taken and there will 
be four classes. Each contestant will pay into the treas¬ 
ury 25 cents for every contest he participates in, and 
this, with a fund provided by the club, will buy nice 
prizes for the winners—provided the plan is adopted.

\/OU demand the beft 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.

The author is a builder and designer of national repu¬ 
tation. All the instruction given is defined and com¬

FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO. 
Emerald Gun Club. 
New York. —The second outing for 1910 of this live- 
bird organization took place on April 5, after several 
vexatious delays owing to scarcity of birds. 
The three first-named members in the scores below 
arrived at the shooting grounds the evening previous and 
shot at the fastest birds of the day. 
It has been the writer’s experience, with but one ex¬ 
ception, that the morning birds are up and on the wing 
at the null of the trap. 
President May shot in good form and made long stops 
with good judgment on his 3d, 17th, and 29th birds. His 
6th, a screamer, eluded both barrels, and the one- 
barrel kills in the 15th and 18th tallies were superb. 
Mr. Catton shot as usual, slowly covering the flying 
targets well before sending the 7s after them. His 3d, 
13th, 17th, 22d and next to the last bird in the club 
scores were sizzlers, well negotiated. His 19th and 24th, 
marked with stars, particularly the latter, were very fast. 
Schortemeier missed a few more of his quota than 
usual. All that got away were fast outgoing drivers. 
He was rather slow and shooting from scratch, as usual, 
did not elevate the muzzle of his gun enough to get 
them in the middle. His second and last birds were 
stopped with long seconds. 
Captain Dreyer brought out Ad. Suydam as guest, 
both with automatics, and the Captain put Ad. in his 
game sack by 3 to the good. They arrived at 11:15 A.M., 
shot their quota, had dinner and left at 1.50 P. M. Cap’s 
2d and 25th were finely scored. Mr. Suydam’s 3d, 5th 
but two in the club event and getting them all in the 
and 6th were his best. 
Tom Short, oitr secretary, beat out the field, losing 
extra event. Twenty-two of his thirty were accounted for 
with his reliable right barrel, and don’t any one think 
that many of them were easy because they look easy 
on the score. Tom doesn’t let them get good. His 
12th, 15th, 17th, 24th, 27th and 29th left the trap at the 
drop of the hat. It is worth car fare at any time to 
see this tried marksman perform—holding the butt of 
the gun well down, but quick as a flash in getting that 
bang-bang. The 16th and 18th, which he missed clean, 
were about the easiest he had, but he wasn’t on. 
Dick Mohrman, one of the high men at the last con¬ 
test, shot in ragged time, but New York is building 
subways, and Dick’s business location, where he has been 
successful, has got to come down for the hole in the 
ground, and that would worry anybody when a bird is 
traveling a mile a minute after an uncertain first barrel. 
Capt. Reierson, owing to business reasons, has not shot 
in six months, and lack of practice is shown in his score, 
though he drew some of the best of the afternoon. His 
5th, 6th, 8th, 9th 11th and 24th were excellently scored. 
The mist from the low ground back of the traps af¬ 
fected Dr. Hudson’s sight, as the Doc has only three 
or four more milestones to go to the three-score and ten; 
but the veteran drew his share of the fast ones, all right. 
His 17th was a hurricane, a twisting driver a bit to the 
left, and a wonderful kill. Any one could miss his 
9th, a vision, and his 2d, 11th, 13th 25th and 29th were 
executed with judgment and precision—all fast ones. 
Mr. Thoben’s 5th, 9th and 17th were fine kills, and 
as this is but the second time he appeared before the 
traps at the real thing, his skidoo score is commendable. 
Another honored quest, Dr. Moeller, tried his hand 
the first time in a decade, but the Doc can break tar¬ 
gets much better than his score shows to-day, and he 
assured the writer that it would probably be the last 
time the white fliers would be in danger from his gun. I 
sincerely hope that he will reconsider his decision. His 
best performances were on his 18th, 26th and 28th birds. 
Mr. Rohlfs shot in uncertain form, and though handt- 
capped from the 28yd. mark, he went back to 30 fropi 
about the 10th bird on, and simply shot at them. His 
8th, 9th and 23d birds were hummers, particularly the 
last named. <A . . , 
The shoot was divided into three contests of 10 birds 
each, as usual, for the months of April, May and June, 
1910. , „ _ , , 
A sweep followed, with scores appended. Referee and 
scorer, L. H, Schortemeier. . 
Landlord Schaffer served a substantial dinner, as 
usual, at 12:30.. 
The weather was rather too warm for the season, ine 
wind blew strong in the morning from shooter to No. 2 
trap, moderating toward the afternoon. Birds strong 
and fast—only four sitters. Scores follow:
