Notes. 
Mr. Thomas A. Duff, of Toronto, besides being the 
most active man in promoting trapshooting matters in 
Canada, is quite an expert press agent. Among other 
nicely-worded matter, for public instruction, published 
in the columns of the daily press of Toronto, was_the 
ante-tournament announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Top- 
perwein, the famous experts, would play “My Old 
Kentucky Home” on a piano, by firing .22 bullets at 
the keys instead of manipulating them in the ordinary 
manner with the fingers. Soon thereafter, meeting a 
gentleman and his wife, friends of his, the lady eagerly 
asked: “Is it true that Mr. and Mrs. Topperwein will 
play ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ by shooting bullets at 
the piano keys?” ‘Most true,” replied Tom, without a 
quiver. ‘But, will not the bullets smash the keys?” she 
persisted. “Not at all,”’ Tom _ gravely replied, “‘be- 
cause they use soft-nosed bullets.” That explanation was 
perfectly satisfactory. 
The programme was a masterpiece of good press 
work. It also was printed on fine 125-pound coated 
paper. Incidentally, it had the ear-marks of pretty 
good business management, as it was rotund with ad- 
vertisements. It contained many portraits of notable 
officials and trapshooters, ‘but that of Secretary-Treasurer 
Thomas A. Duff was absent. As he had: much to do 
with the publication of it, that may account for this ex- 
hibition of modesty. 
The programme events were arranged with special 
reference to the men who shot about 80 per cent., but 
some others who shot better were not losers. In the 
regular events there were five moneys, Rose system, 
ratios 6,°5, 4, 3 and 2. 
The shooters who came on Monday were entertained 
with a fine automobile ride. In the evening, they and 
their wives were entertained most generously. 
Social good fellowship was always much in evidence. 
There was a manifest disposition to make pleasant the 
sojourn of the visitors, besides: giving them an_ op- 
portunity to shoot. 
The programme events were finished early each day, 
therefore the contestants had ample time to journey 
homeward and leisurely dress for dinner. It was sport 
versus industry. « 
The last gun had hardly cracked when Mr. Luther 
J. Squier, the able cashier, was calling to the shooters 


to come forward and get their money. Between times, 
he calmly shot through the programme and made the 
three-days’ high average, 576 out of 610. In addition 
he made friends right and left—that was going some. 
There was a good substantial meal served in a large 
comfortable tent on the grounds each day. For 50 cents 
the shooter sat him down and ate without hindrance 
till his hunger was appeased. [Everything was neat, ap- 
petizing and nicely served by fair hands. 
In matters sartorial there was a close race between the 
Hon’ Thomas A. Marshall, the renowned Chief Long 
Talk of the American Indians, of Keithsburg, II]., and 
Thomas, A. ‘Duff, Chief King Pin of tne Canadian 
Indians. The latter was dressed in pure, chaste white, 
even to his dainty cap and white shoes. The only bit 
of color relieving his snowy appearance was a lively 
neck kerchief. His giant, symmetrical figure could be 
seen towering above his fellows at any distance on the 
grounds. Good judges thought that Tom of Toronto 
had a little the better of Tom of Keithsburg in the 
matter of rivaling the lily; however, it is but fair to say 
that the latter was caught unawares, and that it was 
not a formal competition. When Chief Long Talk dons 
his incandescent waistcoat and flaming neckwear, with 
a few Kohinoors tacked on his raiment here and there. 
even Chief King Pin would hesitate to pose as a rival 
of the radiantly beautiful. However, there are other 
davs coming. 
T. M. Craig, of Sherbrooke, was far from being a 
“dead one,’ as was announced shortly after the tourna- 
ment, at Boston, held recently. As Mark Twain re- 
marked under sim'lar conditions: “My death was 
grossly exaggerated.” 
Kemper and Glover tied on 42 for the longest run. 
In shooting off the tie at 25 targets, the scores were: 
Kemper, 20; Glover, 19. The prize was a cup donated 
by the Schultze Gunpowder Co., Limited, of London, 
Eng., and was valued at $100. It is a magnificent trophy, 
beautifully engraved, and intrinsically valuable. 



















The Simple Lefever Three-Piece Mechanism 
The fewer and simpler parts, the better the gun. 
The Lefever action is perfection of simplicity. Jt has but three parts. All 
other guns use from six to ten parts. 
The Lefevwer mechanism is large and substantial, and therefore strong and 
positive in action, with little chance of accident. A boy can replace the parts. 
The cocking hook cocks the gun, extracts the shell and checks the “opening 
of. the gun at the right point to prevent the usual damaging strain on the hinge 
joint. 
These things give the Lefever guns great mechanical advantage over all other 
guns (proved by award of First Prize over the whole world’s guns at St. Louis). 
LEFEVER SHOT GUNS 
are guaranteed to always remain tight—a compensating screw takes up all wear 
instantly. Removal of lock plates can’t affect action; a dovetailed top fastener and 
compensating bolt insures a tight joint. Indicator’shows when cocked. Adjust- 
able safety. Barrels imported and bored on our taper system. Stock genuine 
Circassian Walnut. : 
Every Lefever gun must shoot dead centre m a 30-inch circle at 40 yards 
with even distribution and maximum penetration of shot, or it is rejected. Only 
perfectly balanced guns pass inspection.

THE OLD RELIABLE 
PARKER GUN 
STILL WINS. 
At Boston, July 16-17-18,the PARKER 
GUN in the hands of Horace R. Bon- 
ser, of Hartwell, O., won the Eastern 
Handicap, and H. L. Snow, also shoot- 
ing a PARKER, was second in this 
important event. 
The PARKER GUN also won third high average for the three days in the 
amateur class. The high average in the professional class for the three days’ 
shooting was won first, second and third, with the PARKER GUN in the hands 
of Fred Gilbert, W. R. Crosby and Lester German. This is certainly a record 
breaking list of winnings. Send for catalogue.
