OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks- Solomons of the air. You can t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
th 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 I.efever 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 
screw compensates for a year s wear by a trim g 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
With the approach of spring, things are beginning to 
liven up a bit at the club grounds, and the prospects 
are good for a revival of interest among the members. 
At the weekly shoot on March 5, there were seven 
shooters who took part in the sport, and the scores made 
were very good. Hammersmith, who has not been shoot¬ 
ing for many months, is getting enthused again, and 
gave evidence that he can come back, by breaking 93 
out of 100, and taking first place. Ralph Trimble, the 
well-known professional, was also present, and shot well 
up to his mark, starting off with 25 straight, and finish¬ 
ing with 92. Heilman is one of the new generation of 
shooters, and has made steady progress toward the top 
since he started in, about a year ago. To-day he got in 
third place with 90, and he can be depended upon to this 
score or better. Connelly did not strike his gait until 
the last event, when he only missed 2. Heile generally 
does some better work than he did to-day, but he im¬ 
proved with each event. Harrington has not been shoot¬ 
ing very long, and is likely to surprise some of them 
before the season is over. The club has some good 
G. A. H. material, and will be 
event next June. The scores:

A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip 
out this book, if he is at all interested m 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 desires to identify 
the 1 fish he takes, while the colored plates of the trop¬ 
ical fish shown in all their wonderful gorgeousness of 
coloring, are very beautiful. Besides the pictures of 
fish there are cuts showing portions _ of the fishing 
tackle, which the uathor uses. A good index completes 
the volume.

HITTING vs. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). 
Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch ot 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse, or 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result ls^ this orig¬ 
inal manual of “Hitting vs. Missing. We term it 
original, because, as the chapters will show, the author 
was self-taught; the expedients and devices adopted and 
the forms of practice followed were his own. i his then 
may be termed the Hammond system of shooting, an 
as it was successful in his own experience, being here 
set forth simply and intelligently, it will prove not less 
effective with others.

Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books

who grows up under the tuition of the coterie ot 
friends that we know so well, becomes a man just at
