vou know mallards-wisest and wariest of all 
1 ducks - Solomons of th e air. You can t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefever. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money s worth 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the"hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever

New York, Tan. 24.— On Tuesday evening, Jan. 24, the 
Columbia rifle team shot their regular weekly shoot. 
The schedule would seem to indicate that we shot against 
Delaware College, but the reports, in the newspapers 
seem to show that Princeton University was put in 
Delaware’s place. The score was 1888, several P°mts 
better than the previous Intercollegiate record. The 
individual score of 197 out of 200 made by Ehrlich was 
2 points better than the record of last year, which was 
also made by a Columbia man, A. P. Lane. Three pos 
s Wes or 100 out of 100 were made ,n the prone position 
by Lane, Ehrlich and Krefeld. The scores follow: 
J Ehrlich . 
A G Hanke.

Hildebrandt spinners are known everywhere, but as 
they are being constantly improved, it is well to send 
for the new catalogue “C,” which will be mailed on re¬ 
quest by the John T. Hildebrandt Company Drawer 6, 
Logansport, Ind. This is a 64-page booklet of rods, reels, 
lines, flies and spinners. 
Few men possess real skill in making the highest 
crade split bamboo rods, but Hiram Hawes is one of 
them and he has been making such rods for a great 
many years. If a dependable rod for fly or bait fishing 
or for "tournament casting is wanted, ask H. W. Hawes 
& Co. for particulars. The address is Canterbury, Conn.

SPORT IN NEW MEXICO. 
Late in August three men came to camp with 
ho were very anxious to engage in a hunt 
and see a live bear in his natural state and 
proper place in front of the hounds. We took 
a preliminary canter over the mountains in 
search of tracks, which were found about tour 
miles from the main camp on a small stream - 
Owing to the scarcity of ram the so-called 
stream had degenerated into an insignificant 
water-hole and held only just enough aqua 
impura for ourselves, our horses, three donkeys 
and the bear. However, we could do no better 
so here we camped. The river being only about 
a mile and a half below, we took our rods,. as 
well as the guns and nine dogs. On our arrival 
the first evening it was too late to hunt with 
hounds, so C. and I went after grouse, while E. 
and T. took a turn at the trout. A., who was 
out for his health, remained in camp, promis¬ 
ing to attend to the culinary department. We 
were not very successful, for although C. had 
an excellent pointer, the brush was so thick 
and the traveling so rough that our shooting 
was certainly faulty; we called it 'bad 
Be that as it may, we only got a brace of brrds 
out of at least twelve that were flushed 1 he 
other two did not do much better, for J. was 
unaccustomed to the ways of the wily trout, and 
the big fish were for the most part higher up 
the stream. He did, however, hook one ot 
about two pounds and tried, to throw him out 
over the back of his head, with the usual heart¬ 
rending result. They brought back plenty for 
supper and breakfast. 
Early next morning, we started with the 
hounds through fallen timber, stumps and thick 
undergrowth. The dogs were all coupled 
except Spot, a reliable old hound, who hunts 
like a pointer and rarely ranges out of sight 
until he strikes a fresh trail. We rolled, fell 
and stumbled along in this way for a mile or 
more, having to go back every now and then to 
loosen the dogs, who have a wonderful knack 
of tving themselves up in all kinds of sailor s 
knots and other fantastic intricacies. Two will 
run in opposite directions around a bush, the 
rest jump over them, dive in between each 
others’ legs and come up on the other side, and 
the thing is done, which takes ten minutes, strug¬ 
gling and puzzling to undo. During this per¬ 
formance a puppy will usually escape with one 
or two couples dangling from his neck, and go 
bawling through the wood as if on a hot trail, 
until caught and replaced. 
After a mile and a half or less had been 
traversed, we came to a creek with very steep
