FOREST AND STREAM. 
Y 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 
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 Lefecer. 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 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver.

Meadow Springs Gun Club. 
New Jersey State Championship. 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 16.—Hogan about grabbed all 
the honors there were to clutch yesterday afternoon at 
Fifty-seventh and Lancaster avenue, the home of the 
Meadow Springs Gun Club. Hogan took home two 
spoons as Easter presents for his ability to beat out the 
field which participated in the club event, and also tho 
entire program for the afternoon. In the club test he 
ran a straight 25, outsliooting every Class A man on 
the grounds. In the five other events which helped to 
swell out the bill to an even 100 targets he also shot a 
“streak,” his total for the day’s sport being 96 breaks 
out of the century of bluerocks. It was one of the best 
exhibitions of shooting given by a club member this 
season on “The Hill.” 
There was another silver offering in the shape of a 
spoon for the member who cracked the most number of 
doubles out of 12 pairs. This Alexander captured by 
breaking 21 of his two dozen of bluerocks. 
Keenan led the Class B men in the club shoot with a 
total of 25 breaks, breaking 20 of his 25, and having a 
handicap of 5 to reach the high total. 
The Club will hold a prize shoot next Saturday. Scores

Newark, N. J., April 15.—Again Charles T. Day, Jr., 
successfully defended the New Jersey State championship 
title at the traps. His victim this time was R. C. 
Stryker, of Whitehouse. Fifty birds each were shot at, 
both men shooting from the 16yd. line. Day managed to 
smash 41 against 6 by Stryker. Weather conditions being 
perfect for a match, a record-breaking crowd turned out. 
Some interesting sweeps were also shot off, there being 
almost four thousand birds thrown from the traps during 
the afternoon. 
Considerable interest was aroused over a special match 
between George Ohl, Jr., and A. Wheaton. In the first 
string of 25 birds, Wheaton won out by breaking 18 
against 15 by Ohl. In the next 25 string, Ohl got back 
at him by breaking 12 against 11 by his opponent. A 
third and deciding string was shot off, which Wheaton 
took by breaking 16 against 13 by Ohl.

South End Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., April 16.—In the final shoot of a 
series of five shoots for prizes at the South End Gun 
Club over the South Camden traps yesterday afternoon, 
Frank Hineline captured the honors with a score of 114 
out of a total of 125 targets. Robert Fleming and Wil¬ 
liam Wakeman tied for seoond place with 110, and in thi 
shoot-off, miss-and-out, Fleming won. The spoon shoot 
at 25 targets, with handicap added, resulted in three ties, 
but as there was a spoon for the member making' the 
most consecutive breaks, Hineline took the dipper and 
dropped out of the tie, Newkirk and Johnson fighting 
it out for the prize, the former winning. 
At the annual meeting of the South End Club in the 
Camden Y. M. C. A., these officers were elected: Presi¬ 
dent, A. G. Soistman; Vice-President, William Cross; 
Secretary, James Anthony; Treasurer and Captain, Rob¬ 
ert Fleming; Superintendent of Grounds, James New¬ 
kirk. Owing to the march of improvements, a com¬ 
mittee was appointed to look up new grounds with a 
view of purchase, whereon it is intended to lay out 
permanent traps and erect a large and commodious club 
house, the committee to report at the next meeting of 
the club. Yesterday scores:
