of Mr. J. D. Mason, W. R. Dawes, Ed. Hardenbergh, 
and, in fact, every member of the Scranton Gun Club 
seemed to think themselves a committee of one to look 
after the comfort of the visitors. 
About 6,000 targets were thrown. While the boys 
turned in good and tired, they could sleep the sleep 
of the satisfied laborer, and know that their efforts had 
been well repaid. Following are the scores:

Billy Stroh, of Pittston, nearly lost his trade mark by 
falling off the board walk on a misfire, 
Ed. Hardenbergh had troubles of his own keeping the 
blackbird trap in a good humor; but he came out on 
top each time. 
J. D. Mason had to bow to the skill of his son, being 
three targets behind at the finish. 
W. R. Dawes hustled squads all day, and did not seem 
to be affected by his narrow escape from being the victim 
of a mine cave in in the rear of his property the evening 
before. 
Ed. Hardenberg had troubles of his own keeping the 
blackbird trap in a good humor; but he came out on top 
each time. 
O. S. Sked shut his left eye to keep from seeing the 
left-quarterers. 
Roy Keller stung several with his match trick. 
Hess and Welnoski made two straights at the table. 
The ‘Gold Dust Twins,” Jim Lewis and Lloyd Lewis, 
gave an exhibition of how to “near” break targets. 
Mr. Kniskern was working for a crow collection, but 
the Lackawanna county crows fought shy of his decoy. 
Shooter. 
New England Kennel Club. 
Braintree, Mass., May 9. —The annual championship 
contest was the main feature of the competition to-day, at 
the weekly shoot of the New England Kennel Club. The 
conditions were 100 targets, use of both barrels. The 
members of the different classes were all eligible to com¬ 
pete, but only members of Class A entered. The cham¬ 
pionship was won by Mr. L. C. Fenno, who scored 92. 
Mr. I. R. Thomas made the highest total with his 
allowance of 10 added, but this did not count in the 
championship. Thomas scored a leg on the season trophy 
with a total of 24 out of 25. The tie of April 4, between 
Dr. C. G. Weld and 1. R. Thomas for the season cup, 
a double-barreled contest, was won by the former. Mr. 
J. Blanchard did not appear to shoot off with Dr. Weld 
the tie of March 14. therefore the latter won by default, 
and now has three legs to his credit for the season’s 
cup. Scores:

Simple ^Yerew; 
T HEY say a fellow named Archimedes invented the screw two thousand years or so ago. 
Simple idea this, wrapping a wedge around a cylinder. But it will do a few thousand years 
more. You cannot improve first principles. That is the reason why 
Lefever Shot Guns 
are destined to be used as long as guns are used. With a wedge, the Lefever solves 
the problem of taking-up wear. The wedge-shaped, compensating bolt draws 
the barrels and frame absolutely tight in every direction. The hinge-joint is 
made solid as new after years and years of service, by merely turning a 
screw. This is the climax of simplicity. So with the Lefever three- 
piece system. One piece simultaneously raises both hammers 
extracts the shells and gently breaks the fall of the barrels 
when the breech is opened. This piece is substantial. 
Other things, just as important, are shown in our catalogue—more 
important to a buyer, in fact, because they are the very things 
that prove deceptive to an inexperienced buyer, such as LEFEVER 
quality of steel, hand work on all parts, taper boring, ARMS CO.

IN SELECTING A GUN 
for field or trap use—BUY THE BEST. It may 
cost twice as much as a cheap gun, but it will last 
ten times as long. There is no better gun than a 
PARKER. Ask the man who owns one.
