The working parts of Model 16 repeating shotgun 
are made of the finest quality of steel drop forgings, 
cut down from solid blocks to the nicely fitting 
parts of the finished shotgun. 
With one shell in the chamber and five in the 
magazine, Model 16 shotgun can be fired six times 
in four seconds. 
For grouse, quail, woodcock, prairie chickens, 
teal, woodchucks, squirrels, rabbits and all other 
smaller game this gunis unsurpassed. The upland 
shooter will readily see the advantage of a repeat-

than the average 12 gauge and yet having all the 
effectiveness of the heavier arm.

breeze and lumpy sea. Elmina did not start as 
she was unable to get a new fore topmast in 
place of the one she carried away the day before, 
and many of the yachts whose owners could not 
spare the time to continue, dropped out; but for 
all that, there was quite a fleet left. 
Queen and Ingomar carried their large 
ballooners, while most of the smaller sloops put 
up reaching jib topsails. The few who tried to 
lug balloon jibs soon found there was more 
weight in the wind than they had anticipated. 
Istalena gave up soon after starting and returned 
to Newport. Kestrel carried away her topmast 
in a heavy puff, while Atair, that had been late 
in starting in the 3oft. class, gave up and went 
back; but Phryne, Alera and Nepsi held on for 
the Vineyard, the latter being put out of the run- 
ning by her throat halliard parting when off the 
lightship. 
Again the big schooners finished almost neck 
and neck, and again Aurora did wonderfully 
well, almost beating Avenger on time allowance. 
All the yachts arrived by a few minutes after 
4 o'clock. Avenger won in the 57ft. class, Effort 
in the 68ft. class, Gardenia in the 4oft. class and 
Alera in the 30ft. class. 
Of the schooners, Queen won in the ooft. 
class, Windward in class D and Crusader in the 
7sit. class. The navy challenge cup for 
schooners was won by Venona and that for 
sloops by Alera, both the smallest boats of their 
respective rigs. There were several mishaps; 
Kestrel and Doris lost topmasts, Cachalot and 
Nepsi parted peak halliards and Alera broke her 
spinnaker boom.

Wednesday, Aug. 14, was the last day’s run 
for the fleet before the great events of the cruise 
took place; the race for the Astor and King’s 
cups off Newport on Friday and Saturday. 
There was a. 25-mile north-northwest breeze 
whistling across the waters, with a viciousness 
in the puffs that made some boats come to grief. 
Pellegrina split her mainsail all to ribbons, and 
Weetamoe’s jib blew away. 
Queen, in view of the important races to 
come later, decided not to risk carrying any- 
thing away and jogged along under easy sail. 
This left Ingomar alone, as Elmina, at Newport, 
was getting a new fore topmast. 
Avenger had a little excitement all her own, 
when, soon after starting, a man was Sveept 
overboard; but by promptly luffing; a boat was 
overboard and the man soon back on deck. 
Nepsi distinguished herself by beating all but 
Avenger on corrected time, and shows of what 
excellent stuff these little craft are built. She 
won in her clas by over 53 minutes. 
Gardenia won, a walkover. Avenger won, de- 
feating Aurora 29m. 33s. on elapsed time, and 
48m. 50s. corrected time. Effort won, defeating 
Neola 32s., corrected time. Eclipse won, defeat-
