Wilmington Rod and Gun Club. 
Wilmington, O.—The annual mid-summer tournament 
of the club was held on June 9 and 10. This was a 
registered tournament, and a good attendance was ex¬ 
pected but failed to materialize. Dr. Gaston had charge 
of the arrangements and did everything possible for the 
comfort of those present. He also had the financial end 
of the shoot in charge, and, with his shooting, had his 
hands reasonably full. The weather was fine for shooting 
on both days of the tournament, the wind which blew 
in the afternoon of Tuesday not seeming to bother the 
shooters at all. C. A. Young was high gun for the two 
days, with 388 out of 400; John Garrett, second, with 
387, and R. TrimbI?, third, with 379. F. Alkire was high 
amateur with 378, and Dr. Gleason, second with 344. The 
programme consisted of ten 20-target events on each 
day, $2 entrance in each event, money divided Rose 
system, 4, 3, 2, 1. 
June 9, First Day. 
Fifteen shooters took part. The day was hot, with 
^strong wind in the afternoon. C. A. Young was high 
man, with 196, and a run of 151 in the programme events, 
which, with 5 straight at practice, gave him a total run 
of 156, and established a new ground record for long 
run. R. Harness, of Jamestown, was high amateur, with 
191. Each event was at 20 targets. The scores:

June 10, Second Day. 
The attendance dwindled down to eleven shooters on 
Wednesday. The programme was started at 10:30 and 
the 200 targets were thrown by 12:30. The day was hot, 
the sky was covered by light clouds, which made a very 
trying light for the shooters. Scores were not quite so 
good as on Tuesday. R. O. Heikes was on hand to¬ 
day and finished high man, with 196, including a run of 
65 in the regular events, and counting 25 at practice, a 
total run of 86. John Garrett made the long run of the 
day, breaking 88 straight. He tied for second place on 
192 with Trimble and Young. High amateur was F. 
Alkire, with 189. Most of the shooters went from here to 
Springfield to 
attend 
the tournament 
at 
that place. 
Each 
event was at 
20 targets.

Hudson Valley Rod and Gun Club. 
Sandy Hill, N. Y., June 13. —Mr. Dange is a new 
member, and this was his first try at the trap; he scored 
60 per cent. W. A. Bissell is also a new member—his 
second visit—he scored 63 per cent. 
We have several new members in view, and we hope 
to hold another tournament this fall. Ex-Secretary 
Chapman was high 
gun to-day with the 
fine score of 
90 per cent.:

The Keystone Principle 
A GES and ages ago, the arch of a building might collapse. The simple principle hidden in 
the keystone was not then fully understood. Today such a thing as collapse would 
be improbable ; every builder has grasped the idea. 
A few years ago a gun might shoot loose and get out of order. “Gun collapse ’’ was taken 
for granted ; today it has no excuse. Lefever construction may be seen in any gun store. 
LEFEVER SHOT GUN 
action is readily understood. The keystone in an arch, with its problems of 
weight, thrust and resistance, is no more wonderful than the Lefever 
cocking hook. This one part does the cocking and extracting with one 
motion. It is the bond between frame and barrels—exact, sub¬ 
stantial, and so simple. If you shoot the gun with the lock 
plate removed, you will “grasp the idea.” 
Our catalogue will tell you of barrel rigidity and take-up un¬ 
equalled in any other gun. It tells about steel in these 
guns which is an honor to the names of Europe’s great 
steel makers—not a discredit. It also tells about 
taper boring and other things you must know 
if you are to invest your money right. It _____ 
is a catalogue worth sending for. 23 Maltbie Street, Syracuse, N. Y. 
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.

THE OLDEST GUN BUILDERS IN AMERICA 
You can use in the same rifle, without change of parts, .22 short, long 
and long-rifle cartridges. This is an excellent arm for target work as 
well as rabbits, squirrels, hawks and all small game up to 200 yards. 
The ammunition is cheap, giving much enjoyment at little expense. 
In our four distinct models—the solid top is always a protection and 
keeps powder and gases from blowing back; the side ejection allows in¬ 
stant repeat shots, without the possibility of throwing an ejected shell 
into your face or eyes; the removable sideplate or take-down construction 
makes them the easiest of all .22s to keep clean.
