The Maine section of the United States revolver 
■championships was decided Saturday, 21st. Class A 
had the most contestants, five in number, and outside 
of Mr. Hayden, the scores were not up to the average 
shooting of the various contestants. Mr Hatch lost 
his chances of winning through an off and a 5 on his 
first target, while Mr. Crosby could not locate the bull 
'’"in-class 1 B Mr. Hatch placed the total at 436, thus 
making the best score ever made in a United States 
Revolver Association contest in this State Wlt l 1 
the Distol or revolver. Mr. Adams, who has held the 
State* championship honors for the past two years, was 
second with 425.

Providence (R. I ) Revolver Club 
Providence, R. I.-Awed by the array of high scores 
which have been shot by our Portland friends the past 
few months, the majority of our team members made a 
sorry array of scores in the match shot last Saturday 
evening, being trimmed to such an extent that the 
Myles ^tandish boys can feel good natured at any past 
matches which have gone against them. While we are 
on the toboggan slide, it is a good opportunity for 
other clubs to get in their work, and unless some of 
our men get a grip on themselves, 1908 will be a hoodoo 
y< Mr. b. E. Gerrish, of the Maine team, was with us 
at the shoot, representing his team, and any one who 
knows this genial shot, can fix no blame on his presence 
for the result, for with his stories and good shooting on 
a strange range, we certainly should have profited. 
The “Twins” had a Gaston-Alphonse race for tail end 
position, and shook hands at the finish, both disgusted 
at the result. “Good old has-beens” was the mutual 
cognomen benefittingly applied to these degenerate en- 
thusiasts of firearms. 
For the benefit of those ■who 
enjoy 
a joke, the 
fol- 
lowing scores are given:

■JJ \ V • . g X7"OU never think just how a rocking 
I 1 1 chair adjusts its points of support to 
-*■ ^ the shifting weight. Likewise, the 
hunter never thinks how simply the rock¬ 
ier ing motion of the “cocking hook” does 
\y/ all the work on the Lefever shot gun. It 
is elemental. With one motion it raises 
both hammers and extracts the shells when the breech is opened. On 
other guns from 15 to 25 more parts are needed to do the same work. 
That easy rocking of the barrels on the hinge-joint is also due to this 
one part. There is no strain anywhere. The self-compensator bolt 
takes up the wear in the 
Lefever Shot Gun 
making it tight in every direction. The action of the Lefever shot gun 
never concerns the hunter; it is too simple to engage his mind. 
Any practical man will see these advantages if he examines the gun 
in a store. But we tell in a catalogue of other advantages over 
other high-grade guns, which no man can see—taper boring, 
quality of steel, hand work on parts, etc. Send for it.

DEAD 
SHOT 
There are many powders that might do when the sun shines and all is serene. But for net results in ram or 
shine, no powder equals _. ~ 
DEAD SHOT SMOKELESS 
It is a powder known to be stable. J cl i 
Use your own judgment in selecting a powder, but don’t make judgment until you have tned Dead Shot. It 
is the greatest combination of Absolute Quality ever produced. 
Our friends, the trap shooters, have coined a new name, 
“STABILITY DEAD SHOT” 
and this leads us to modestly remark that no other powder has shown such a percentage of high scores at the traps. 
We could say much more, but — why ? A booklet of loads, etc., on request.
