Lock Haven Gun Club Tournament. 
[ HE fifth annual target tournament of the Lock Haven, 
C,un Club, which took place Tuesday and W’ednes- 
y, Aug. 10 and 11, \vas proclaimed one of the most 
[ccessful shoots held in the State this season, from 
■ standpoint of the shooter. 
The weather man continued to hand out dry weather 
id only interjected sufficient wind to add variety to 
Is flow of targets. Shooters were therefore compelled 
keep on tip toe and do some quick reckoning, when 
sudden blast would change the natural course of the 
get. Had no wind interfered, some better scores 
ght have been made. 
'he spacious porch of the club house was well filled 
h spectators, including many ladies, who enjoyed the 
xessive events and watched their special favorites, 
lach afternoon the audience had the pleasure of wit- 
ising some fancy rifle, shotgun and revolver shoot- 
: by Mr. E. W. Kelley and son, of Hicks Run. Al- 
mgh Mr. Kelley is purely an amateur, both he and 
son pull off shots that would be a credit to any 
Sessional and with a few more specialties might easily 
e the road and make good with the best of them 
n all there were present about fifty shooters from a 
lance, and some of the gentlemen were accompanied 
their wives, who enjoyed the cool breezes on the hill 
grounds and viewed the magnificent scenery from 
piazza. 
Tore interest centered in the merchandise events than 
ial, and the handicap committee proved themselves 
*thy the position. The large number of ties for first 
ce indicated that the trick was done just about right 
l everybody was satisfied. On the first day C. A. 
•son was the only Lock Haven member in the finals 
l finished sectpnd, while Dr. Quinn, of Du Bois, 
tured first prize. First prize the second day was 
l between Hess and Foster, of the Sunbury Club. 
5S took second prize from choice. 
he e . silver ]ov ' n 8 cup was captured bv the Sun- 
,y Club in a four-man team race, with an average 
9o. Lock Haven’s score in this event was 85. 
he visiting shooters voted Lock Haven one of the 
t t A W 2 S on the Sus Q«ehanna, and the Lock Haven 
i Club royal entertainers, and expressed a longing 
ire to return on the occasion of the sixth annual 
rnament in 1910. 
he clam bake was not the success the club had 
taned, owing to a slip-up on the part of the Chef, 
wever, over one hundred persons were present for 
per, and an enjoyable evening was spent around the 
es. 
r L. J. Squier conducted the tournament, and had 
! charge of the office, and the way he can handle a 
ot makes the boys sit up and take notice. Mr. 
ler has conducted every tournament we have held, 
a Lock Haven shoot would not be complete without 
presence. The boys are deeply grateful to Mr. Squier 
the valuable assistance rendered. 
he sound of the last shot had hardly died away, when 
her called out, “Come get your money, boys!” 
en it comes to disposing of merchandise prizes and 
ley, he has no superiors. A full squad of experts 
| e on the ground and were busy helping keep the 
i on TT the . ™ ove * Hl ^ h Professional for the two days: 
1. Hawkins, 386 out of 400; L. J. Squier, second,

ffighwnh 376; H Hess, second, 353; C. A. Jobson,

Repeating Shotgun 
Because it romKinpa rfn a r a cxr-1 ^ T -.1 
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 fflarf/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 (6X lbs.) 16-gauge to the new 1% lbs. 12-gauge 
repeaters in all models, grades and styles are well-made finely 
balanced guns, especially designed for hard shooting and quick handling.
