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 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 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. I

Hudson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., April 23 .— The regular bi-monthly 
club shoot of the Hudson Gun Club was held this 
morning, and a number of trophies were shot for by the 
“bunch” of shooters that attended. Dave Engel was the 
“candy kid” this morning, averaging 84 per cent., which 
was some shooting, as the wind was blowing a miniature 
gale at times, across the traps, which made the shooting 
very hard. Billv Emmons was the runnenup with 73. 
For the Du Pont trophy there were Engel, Kelley, 
Emmons, Strobel and Joe Whitley, who returned straight 
scores, while the Western trophy event had six who re¬ 
turned perfect scores—Gille, Putney, Lane, Engel, Durkee 
and Kelley, being the lucky shooters to win a leg on this 
Pf Event No. 4 was the first shoot for a number of valu¬ 
able prizes, consisting of gold, silver and cut-glass arti¬ 
cles: this event will run for six shoots, the best four 
scores to count in the finals, handicapped under the 
point system, which gives every one competing a fair 
chance to win a prie for each shooter that shoots in 
four or more events of 25 targets each, are the condi¬ 
tions under which it is shot. This event is open to all 
who wish to enter for the above prizes. _ 
There was a wonderful improvement in the shooting 
of Clary Durkee this morning; he got a 21 in JNo. i 
event Billy Wright told some of the boys that it was an 
accident, and when Durkee got permission from his 
handler, Mr. Thos. Stiff, who was an old-time trapshot 
he challenged him to a match race at 100 birds, to be 
shot on May 7, on which date the club holds its next 
Burlington dropped in the club house on his way 
home from his trout fishing trip, somewhere in the wilds 
of Connecticut. He had been fishing for the past four 
days Harry says that he caught lots of trout, but a 
peep in his creel divulged only two trout 71 / 2 . inches 
long, one onion, a half-eaten pretzel and a piece of 
cheese, which Harry afterward told us was the bait he 
OnTlay 7 we are going to shoot again. Our grounds

Bridge, and reached by the Turnpike car, and all trap-

Wilmington, Del., April 23,-Forty stout-hearted 
devotees of the traps braved the elements yesterday and 
journeyed to the Du Pont Gun Club for the weekly shoot. 
It wa/nne of the most disagreeable days for trapshooting 
that the club has experienced since the opening, Dec. II. 
An incessant rain drenched the shooters and a high 
cross-wind caused the targets to perform very peculiar

sentative, was a visitor, and gave a number of the 
younger trapshooters interesting points on the trap 
Mme He shot a four-cornered race with Messrs. 
Shewson, Lukens, McHugh and Foord. Mathewson 
was the only one of the amateurs to tie German s aver¬ 
age for the race, although each one of the other shoot¬ 
ers succeeded in tying him in one of the other of the 
events. Tn the 75-bird race, Mathewson and German 
tied at 67. Lukens broke 63 out of 75. E° ord and 
McHugh broke 42 and 43 respectively out of 50.

bird in his string of 25. He has been shooting at a 
wonderful clip recently, finishing up program on 
Thursday night, with a straight run of 50 consecutive 
targets Including this achievement he broke tus last 
87targets without a miss, and lost but one m the las 
75. It was the eighteenth target that he lost in his first
