G. M. Smith and Shilling will begin a new series of 
races, and the low man in the first 300 birds will have to 
settle for a fish fry, and the loser will be obliged to 
catch the fish, with the assistance of Billy Weinman, 
whose knowledge of the place where the fish live is' next 
to "Daddy Newbold.” Of course Billy will get a piece 
of fish when it is cooked. 
Mr. Likens brought with him a guest in the person 
of Mr. Anthony from Texas, who seemed very much 
taken with the various appointments of the Columbus 
Gun Club. 
Frank Burris comes out and enjoys the game greatly, 
and thinks the Arlington air and the smell of the 
powder have a very soothing effect on his nerves, after 
being caged up in the drug store. It is suggestive of the 
fact that a great many business men would feel better 
and accomplish more work if they took a few hours each 
week and would try a little line of the above tonic. 
Charlie Young, of the Peters Cartridge Co., is hitting 
them up in good shape, and reports that there is great 
enthusiasm all over the Ohio points that he has visited 
regarding the Grand American this year, and that the 
Ohio shooters are taking it upon themselves to help 
make it a great success. From the Ohio standpoint it 
would be a great hit to herald the report that the 1908 
Grand American winner was an Ohio boy with a full 
turnout of Ohio shooters. Such a thing is not impossible. 
Preparations for the G. A. H. are going on, and the 
big souvenir programme will be a very beautiful book, 
and one well worth preserving. It will be ready for the 
mails about the first week in June, the week of the Ohio 
State shoot in Columbus. 
Somebody said Fred King, of Newark, O., had a new 
gun. We would like to see Fred and the gun. 
Mr. L. W. Cumberland, of Columbus, O., and a mem¬ 
ber of the Columbus Gun Club, has recently joined the 
forces of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company in the 
capacity of trade missionary, and will have territory in 
Ohio and Indiana. The best wishes of a large circle of 
friends and shooters go with Mr. Cumberland, in his 
new undertaking, which, however, he is not unfamiliar 
with, owing to his associations with shooters, and. his 
being a good shot himself. We take pleasure in saying 
for Mr. Cumberland that the shooters and the trade 
with whom he comes in contact will find him very much 
of a gentleman, and well posted on shooting affairs. 
Jack Smith missed a few, and it is not to be wondered 
at, as Jack cannot be expected to break all the targets 
and not forget any of that line of stories that he had 
going around the fireplace. When he entertains he does 
it right, and the matter of a few targets don’t “cut any 
ice,” especially when the boys have a good laugh. 
Stanley Rhoads we expect will be out taking a look 
for the spot in the center. Stan, always starts some¬ 
thing in the way of competition, and the boys are glad 
he is going to shoot this spring.

The obelisk stood firm 
^ Moses was a youth when the idea 
of the dove-tail was first conceived 
by an Egyptian carpenter. The 
first dove-tail was placed under the obelisk at Luxor and forgotten, 
through an earthquake (26 B. C ), which shook temples into ruins. 
The top fastener of the Lefever shot gun is a dove-tail—“one of the keys of architecture.” 
When the shell explodes, the barrels hold to the frame in a dove-tail grip nothing can shake. 
The right principles are used in the simplest ways, on every part of these high grade 
guns. One piece does the cocking and extracting. It also checks the opening 
of the barrels so they rock open and shut without any strain on the hinge 
joint. With ten to twenty-five less pieces and our exclusive compensa 
tion and take-up methods, “shooting loose” after years of use is im 
possible. 
Lefever Shot Guns 
Our catalogue tells the truth about steel, about scien¬ 
tific taper-boring and the finest hand work on all parts 
things about gun construction told nowhere else. 
It is worth sending for.
