Columbu* Gun Club. 
Oltjmbtjs, O., July 31.—The shooting of Mr. H. E. 
i‘h and Mr. Webster in the Chicago team race de¬ 
ns special mention, two 95s were very fine work, 
he rifle and pistol ranges were doing business Sat- 
' y, and some fine scores were made. A complete 
"bf new targets has been finished, and some changes 
'being made that will make the shooting of rifle and 
ol at the Columbus Gun Club very attractive. A 
1 er will be provided for the 200yd. range, so the rifie- 
'I can shoot out in the open all winter and be com- 
ible, also a protection for the markers at the butt, 
I'e the targets are marked. 
ie next important event will be the corn roast on 
1. 12. Three hundred invitations have been sent out 
i; a great many entries have already been made, as 
'e who attended previous ones have spread the news 
• to miss it will be a mistake, and the preparations 
Jon a much larger scale than ever. In addition to 
■regular programme, a special race will be had at the 
f|l. rifle range, with prizes, and a pistol shooting race 
' 25 and 56yds. with prizes. Complete details of the 
I and pistol shooting will be in next week’s papers. 
I, good old-fashioned corn roast has made a hit in 
mbus, and we expect a great many friends from all 
Ohio to sample our corn. 
M. Smith had the old double-barrel out giving it a 
\ Saturday, but looks as though he would stick to 
'single gun. 
Hearne is getting limbered un for the corn roast. 
• he shot well. Billie’s man did not come up to 
i!t the long range race from trap 1 and 3 at No. 2 
'its. Billie has got him scared out. 
tmberland is doing it up fine. A 94 out of the 100 
bing some, and a little habit like that might win the 
6 roast picture for high professional. 
•‘atford is a jolly good scout, just out of the hospital, 
J he came out for an airing, and hits them some, 
in he gets the new single working, look out. 
looting at the Columbus Gun Club was greatly en- 
li Saturday, July 31. A light breeze kept tempera- 
in good shape, and some fine shooting was done at 
lice and in the Chicago-Columbus team race. The

Repeating Shotgun 
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 Zffarfrn 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 (6U lbs.) 16-gauge to the new I'M lbs. 12-gauge, 
fflarf/n repeaters in all models, grades and styles are well-made, finely, 
balanced guns, especially designed for hard shooting and quick handling.
