[June 17, 1911. 
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 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 Lefe/er. When ne 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.

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

Snappy Pull 
If you are shooting holes In the air and leading your birds several 
feet because your gun has a creepy trigger and a slow lock, you’d 
better pass the “old timer" along and get a down-to-date I HACA. 
Our new gun has a quic>, snappy pull, and the hammer travels 
less than half an inch and falls in 1-025 of a second. 
We Ogure it will increase your score at least 5 per cent.

= SAM LOVEL’S BOY =- 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
i n the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, 
who grows up under the tuition of the coterie of 
friends that we know so well, becomes a man just at 
the lime of the Civil War, and carries a musket in 
defense of what he believes to be the right.

Meadow Springs Gun Club. 
Philadelphia, Ja., June 11.—Hillpot, Gideon and Soley 
were the high men and also the prize winners in the 
combined shoot of the Meadow Springs Gun Club, shot 
yesterday afternoon at Fifty-seventh and Lancaster 
avenue. Hillpot won the three points alloted for the 
high score in Class A m the yearly competition shoot, 
and also captured the silver spoon donated for the gun¬ 
ner who made the best score out of his 100 bluerocks, 
he breaking 94 of his^ century of clay pigeons. Gideon 
grabbed the three points offered for the high score in 
( lass B, while Soley made the wonderful score of 24 
breaks on 12 pairs of doubles, an exceptional record for 
an amateur. 
A big field faced the traps for the day’s sport. Very 
little wind, a clear sky and easy working traps were an 
alluring incentive for high scores, and manv of the per¬ 
spiring, powder-marked gunners found that their eyes 
for distance were of the professional order. The yearly 
shoot calls for 25 targets, dead bird added handicap, 
class shooting, points being awarded in each class, three, 
two and one, for the three high scores in each class. 
Hillpot smashed 23 of his 25 bluerocks, and with one 
deal bird, totaled 24, beating out Henry and Clegg by a 
bird, each gunner getting 23. Henry and Clegg were 
allotted 2 points for finishing second, and Murdock got 
the one point by finishing with a 22 score. 
Gideon outshot the entire field. His score of 25 could 
not be touched by any of the gunners on the field, he 
losing but one of his quarter century of marks, and 
having one as a handicap, reached the perfection mark 
Stone with 23 was awarded 2 points for finishing second 
with 23 breaks, and E. G. Garret landed the solitary 
point by finishing third.

June 3.—The pleasant weather induced quite a number 
of shooters to come out to-day. An incoming wind made 
the shooting rather hard, and the marksmen had to go 
after them quite lively in order to get very good scores:
