FOREST AND STREAM 
[May 27, 1911. 
Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks- Solofnons 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 1 mg 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. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the $28 gun the 
peer of any $50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Si ,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise.

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by 
Capt. Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, 
Fla. With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustra¬ 
tions. Cloth. Illustrated. 238 pages. Map. Price, 
$4.00. 
A visitor to Florida can hardly make the trip with¬ 
out this book, if he is at all interested in 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 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.

Analostan Gun Club. 
Washington, May 21.—The warm wave drove and kept 
a good many of (he members of the Analostan Club away. 
However, seventeen of the faithful attended. The after¬ 
noon was perfect for shooting, with the exception of a 
fluky wind that interfered a little during the early part 
of the afternoon. Mr. Emory H. Storr, the popular 
trade representative, was with us, and gave a splendid 
exhibition of how to break them, scoring 98 out of his 
100. Uncle Billy Wagner complained of not feeling 
well, but the boys all wonder what he would have done 
if he had been well. He missed four out of his first 43 
and then ran 57 straight, scoring 96 out of his century. 
Dr. Harrison was also up on the bit, and cracked out 95 
of his 100, followed by Dr. Stine with 93. Following are 
the scores made during the afternoon:
