IN THE BLIND 
Ducks flying sky-high and cyclone swift—that is 
when the Lefever shot gun talks business. You 
don t feel cheap. Every time you shoot there’s 
something doing. When the other fellows see you 
raking them down out of the clouds they think you 
are having wonderful luck. But it is a good gun 
and good aim that does it. Same way with traps.

Presently another lot came over, and by good 
luck, for they will fly into it sometimes, a bird 
came down. 
“Got ’im this time,” shouted the loader, as 
he picked up the bird and carefully examined 
it. “and I’m blest if you ain’t shooting ’em just 
like Lord de Grey, bang in the ’ead every time.” 
NOT A GOOD SHOT. 
NAPOLEON A. COMEAU 
In “Life and Sport on the North Shore of the Lower St. Lawrence 
and Gulf,” Mr. Comeau has made a valuable addition to the literature of 
rod and rifle—and more. It is a book of engrossing personal interest to the 
sportsman or general reader, and of rare value to the student of wild life. 
The author describes the events and experiences of 50 years spent in 
the cause of humanity and science in one of the most interesting and least 
known sections of Canada. He writes as one sportsman to his fellows, 
detailing his experiences with the wild things of wood, shore and sea, with 
plenty of stirring experiences with big game and gamy fish.

“THE SMALL YACHT” 
More sportswomen than before have been 
seen carrying guns this season, and we hear 
the question as to whether ladies should learn 
to shoot asked far more seldom than was the 
case a few years back, says an English paper. 
It is taken for granted, we suppose, that they 
should. At the same time, no lady has so far 
really shone as a crack game-shot. It is not 
for want of enthusiasm or because there is no 
means of obtaining the benefit of early train¬ 
ing. The shooting schools have removed that 
want. But the woman seems incapable by 
nature of becoming a really crack shot, just as 
she is unable to play a really good game of 
billiards. A lady can ride to hounds as straight 
and boldly as her brothers; driving is pre¬ 
eminently a department in which she can dis¬ 
play her deft ability; at lawn tennis and golf 
she can rise to a tolerably lofty height; and 
hocky is a pastime in which she excels, even 
if she “makes an exhibition” when she tries to 
play serious cricket. But she does not handle 
a gun as one might expect in one who can ply 
a rod and play a fish with the best of the other 
sex. 
By EDWIN A. BOARDMAN 
THE author, who has large personal experience in designing and sailing 
^ small yachts, being the winner of the Seawanhaka cup in 1905, deals 
with the entire subject of handling racing boats in language that is readily 
understood by the youngest amateur. There is nothing which makes for 
success in small boat racing, from tuning up to jockeying, left out. Part 
One deals with preparing the boat for the race, while Part Two enters into 
every detail of handling under every condition, with notes on American and 
foreign racing, expense, equipment, winter care, sailing conditions, types, 
etc. Altogether it is not only the latest, but the best work on the subject— 
invaluable for the enthusiast. Cloth, 46 plates from photographs, 18 
diagrams, 24 plans.
