Tie Astor Cur. 
THE race for the Astor cups off Newport on 
Thursday, Aug. 15, was sailed in a shifting, 
fickle wind that favored some boats at the ex- 
pense of others. The regular N. Y. course was 
sailed the reverse of the usual way. Starting 
off Brenton Reef lightship, the first leg was W. 
by N.,%N. for 6% miles; then S. W. by W. 
% W. ior 18 miles, and home S. W. % W for 
12% miles, a total of 38 miles around the course. 
It took the first boat home, Elmina, 5h. 26m. 
and 33s. to cover this distance, so you can see 
no records were broken in the matter of speed. 
Elmina won the schooner prize, and _ that 
slippery new creation, the Avenger, carried away 
the sloop prize. Starting with a north wind 
that made it an easy reach to the first buoy, the 
yachts were soon headed by an easterly breeze, 
which some sought to put to advantage by tack- 
ing to starboard, but in which they got left, as 
the breeze went on around to the southeast, 
making it a reach again with the wind on the 
opposite side to where it had been a few 
moments ago. 
Nepsi, that slippery little black 30-footer, 
sailed by the De Forest brothers, was first 
across the line when the starting gun was fired 
at 11:20, being only 7s. behind the gun. 
Gardenia was next at 11.20.23; Adelaide, 11.20.37; 
Aurora, 11.20.41; Istalena, 11.20.48; Avenger, 
11.20.50; Winsome, 11.20.52; Phryne, 11.21.37; 
Neola, 11.21.41. The rest were handicapped a 
few seconds crossing. Alera first, then Minx, 
Effort, Atair and Banzai. 
At 11:30 the schooners were started, Venona 
being the only one to get across in the 2m. al- 






Going Shooting? 
Half your success depends on your gun. You want a gun in which any natural 
wear can be immediately taken up by a compensating screw, wot returned to the 
factory for this purpose; the one with the few est parts; the one made as you 
would make it if you were a gunsmith of 50 years’ experience. 
LEFEVER SHOT GUNS 
have no superior. Its compensating screw takes up all the wear. It has only 
three parts to its mechanism. Its exclusive cocking hook takes the strain off the 
hinge joint. Its dove-tailed top fastener and compensating bolt keeps the barrels 
continually wedged tight against the frame. 





Removal of lock plates does not interfere with the action. Indicator 
tells when gun is cocked. Barrels and stock imported. 
Every gun is taper bored, tested to shoot dead center with greatest 
penetration and even distribution of shot, before it passes inspection. 
The new Lefever catalogue is ready and will be sent to any address 
free of charge. Write for it before you forget to. Every lover of sport 
should have it.
