Massachusetts Rifle Association. 
Walnut Hill, Mass., Feb. 22.—The Massachusetts 
Rifle Association observed the day by holding an all¬ 
day shoot at its range, with special matches for rifle and 
pistol. 
Good weather conditions prevailed, and the shoot was 
favored with the largest attendance of any in the past 
year. 
The principal event was a pistol and revolver match, 
in which teams from the Boston. Revolver Club, Lynn 
Rifle and Gun Club, and the Massachusetts Rifle Asso¬ 
ciation competed for the possession of a challenge cup 
for the ensuing year. Both pistols and revolvers were 
used by the various contestants, military revolvers being 
allowed handicaps of 4 and 5 points per score, depend¬ 
ing on the ammunition used. The match was won by the 
M. R. A. team on a total of 1300 points, T. Carlson 
having the highest individual score, 274 points. 
J. Busfield was high man in the offhand match with a 
total of 266 for his best three scores. The summary:

Providence (R. I.) Revolver Club. 
Knowing the “Hopalong Cassidy’* yarr^s vide the Bar 
20 Ranch heroic adventurers to be most popular with 
the club’s handlers of the six-shooter, unique notices of 
the annual “roundup” were issued and a goodly gather¬ 
ing appeared on the evening set (the 18th) to burn smoke 
powder and do the several stunts necessary in accordance 
with the by-laws. 
Two of the long holders of office vigorously declined 
re-election, desiring that new men be induced to take 
greater interest through the sycophantic influence of titles, 
but to retain the valued services of the Twins 7 special 
verbal authority and detailed instructions were given and 
voted, “A. B. (Coulters) the caretaker, builder, jack-at- 
all work of the club being retained .as a sort of the same 
thing, with title undecided, and “A. C.” (Hurlburt) the 
scribe, newspaper pusher, score-keeper, coach, daddy and 
several other things, to be relieved of the arduous duty 
of collecting the dues and making up the annual report, 
and to be allowed to sit on the bench and catch his 
breath, and incidentally shoot a few more scores than 
has been his custom the past year. 
While no shooting was indulged in at the meeting, 
wherein real guns were in evidence, the Red House 
bunch let no opportunity pass whereby hot shot directed 
to the ten-ring of any speaker found the pin wheel, and 
it was only the awe-stricken looks of one or two of the 
as yet uninitiated new members that prevented more direct 
jollying for all those who verily consist the gridiron set. 
At any rate the result of the meeting was the election 
of the following officers for this year: President, W. 
Bert Gardiner; Vice-President, William Almy; Secretary, 
Edw. C. Parkhurst; Treasurer, Lieut. Herbert C. Miller; 
Executive Officer, Arno Argus. Executive Committee, 
W. B. Gardiner, Edw. C. Parkhurst, Herbert C. Miller, 
Arthur C. Hurlburt, Albert B. Coulters. Range Com- 
S OME old Greek said he could pry the e^rth loose with a lever if he had a good place to rest it 
on. To him a lever seemed a very wonderful thing. It is. If a hammer of a shot gun is to be 
cocked, why not use the simplest form of mechanism — the lever? If a shell is to be extracted, 
why not seek to utilize the same lever? That is the way the inventor of the Lefever shot gun went at 
it — free from all the old-time complicated mechanisms. He sought simplicity. He made one piece of 
substantial steel serve. He used the cocking hook of the Lefever shot gun as a shell ejector—one piece 
instead of eighteen to twenty-five pieces. Add the hammer and its sear, and you have the Lefever system. 
You will buy no other gun after trying this modern simplified action. 
Lefever Shot Guns 
Enough advantages over other high-grade guns are told of in the 
Lefever catalogue to amaze anyone not using the gun itself. How a 
tight joint is insured with dovetailed fastener and self-compensat¬ 
ing bolt : how strain is taken off the hinge joint; how faith¬ 
ful workmanship is spent on all parts : how steel is used 
which is a credn to the great European makers —all 
are to be read and seen in a beautiful catalogue 
worth sending for.
