Repeating Shotgun 
Because it combines guaranteed shooting ability with the sim¬ 
plest and strongest repealing mechanism handles quicker and 
• shoots harder than any other repeating gun. 
The ff7ar/tn 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 (6% lbs.) 16-gauge to the new 7J. lbs. 12-gauge, 
77/ar//n repeaters in all models, grades and styles are well-made, finely, 
balanced guns, especially designed for hard shooting and quick handling.

Rifle Note. 
V peculiar system of scoring, which had place at the 
tirnament of the National Guard, State National rifle 
nge, Mt. Gretna, Pa., came into play in the team 
latest, in which Private Watts, in the skirmish fire 
sot on Serg. O’Donnell’s target, with the result that 
t: latter scored 113 out of a possible 100, Watt’s points 
l ng added to O’Donnell’s. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
.'he fifty-second year of the North of England Rod 
forks, of which W. J. Cummins is proprietor, is cele- 
lited by the issue of a splendid catalogue, which 
Derican anglers can have by writing to Mr. Cummins 
ei Bishop Auckland, England. It is worth reading, for 
bides descriptive matter and price lists, it contains a 
|:at deal of good advice as to fishing and tackle, 
fitten by Mr. Cummins, Sir William Blunden and H. 
(' Rolt. The book is illustrated with half-tone and 
cor plates, and is of special interest to American 
sjlers. 
GUN STORIES. 
You may always know a true sportsman by 
ti carefulness with which he handles his gun. 
b never carries it so that the muzzles of the 
trrels point in the direction of any of his 
f low-shooters. The surest sign of a Cockney 
Drtsman is the recklessness with which he 
(ndles his gun, says Thormanby in the Asian. 
| let the barrels of a gun, whether loaded or 
it, point in the direction of any person stand- 
near is detestably unsportsmanlike, as well 
3 stupidly inconsiderate. For how is any one 
: know whether a gun is loaded or not? It is 
:ly thoughtless fools who know little about 
harms, that perpetrate these acts of criminal 
Felessness. The portsman who is thoroughly 
tjuainted with the use of firearms is always 
> upulously careful to avoid the remotest risk 
) endangering the lives or upsetting the nerves 
3 others. And the man who does not know 
tw to hold his gun without sending a shudder 
lough everyone who is within range of him 
>?ht to have his weapon taken from him and 
) entrusted with nothing more lethal than a 
' id’s pop-gun. 
The man who loses his temper when shooting 
5 also a person to be avoided. For loss of 
•tper may not only cause accidents but may 
■ o entail loss of sport. Here is a case in point

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings, and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 268 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast of 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desides to identify the fish he 
takes, while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuta 
showing portions of the fishing tackle which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.
