The Fox-Kaotzky 
Single Trigger 
A New 
J-JERE is a single trigger that 
measures up to Fox superi¬ 
ority . It is dependable — ab¬ 
solutely. We guarantee it not 
to “double,” “balk” or “creep.” 
The mechanism is very simple, 
but perfect. No part to wear or 
break. The discharge (right to 
left or left to right, all right or 
all left) is under instant and per¬ 
fect control always. The only 
single trigger made in America 
equipped with automatic safety. 
Sportsmen have longed for a 
single trigger positive and reli¬ 
able in action. This is it. We 
will attach it to your old Fox 
gun or supply it with any grade 
for $20. 
ASK .YOUR DEALER 
about the Fox-Kautzky Trigger. 
And if you’re thinking about 
buying a gun, examine and test 
the Fox. See for yourself why 
the Fox is superior. If he can¬ 
not accommodate you, write 
direct for Catalog.

cats) fresh from the home waters of the Ohio River, 
watermelons, and liquid refreshments from icewater of 
pure American descent down to hop brews of Teutonic 
origin, are all free to shooters and visitors alike! Some 
picnic! 
Yesterday’s annual gathering at Sherley’s Farm, just 
beyond Harrod’s Creek, was no exception to the gen¬ 
eral rule governing these social affairs, only perhaps 
it was a bit “more so,” as Emile Pragoff had selected 
the most ideal location for just such a picnic, forty or 
fifty well foliaged oaks forming a grove some 200 feet 
in diameter and furnishing the much-to-be-desired shelter 
from the rays of a sun which according <to the official 
thermometer in the City of Louisviile caused a maxi¬ 
mum of 96 degrees for the day. A stiff breeze which 
out in the sunshine was like a blast from some fiery 
furnace, and which caused the targets at time to “act 
scandalous,” made things quite pleasant in the shade 
of the above mentioned grove. Emile surely picked 
a good spot! 
This letter to you is not intended to be a review 
of the day’s doings at the traps, so much as a something 
in the nature of information to other gun clubs and 
their respective managements how to cement old friend¬ 
ships and make new ones b.y just such gatherings as 
these Gander Gun Club’s Annuals. Bare details of 
scores do not cut much figure when it comes to estimat¬ 
ing the value of a gathering of this nature, but there 
sure were some good scores made and some valuable 
and useful prizes the medium of much good natured 
rivalry. Personally I don’t know when the actual dis¬ 
comforts of life incident to a long protracted hot spell 
were so thoroughly obliterated as they were yesterday 
by the genial good fellowship which prevailed from 
start to finish—and the start was early, 9 o’clock sharp, 
while the finish was only arrived at when the sun 
went to roost behind a threatening thunderhead about 
7 o’clock. 
Emile Pragoff, assisted by his brother Frank and a 
corps of able and willing volunteers, ran the shoot and 
kept the two sets of traps busy all the time. Brother 
Rudolph and his staff of assistants lan the commissary 
and fixed the “fixins” with such excellent judgment that 
it was not necessary to keep score at the table in the 
rear of the grove. Folks might miss a target or two, 
or even more, in a single 20-target event out in the 
glare of the hot sun, but when it came to the catfish 
event, or a watermelon handicap, everybody (myself 
included) “went straight.” 
It has occurred to me that there may be a number 
of your readers who are curling up their noses at the 
idea of making fried catfish a delicacy and something 
to be desired when the weather is extremely hot, or at 
any other time for the matter of that! I must plead 
guilty to having had my doubts until about noon yester¬ 
day, but the first morsel (right from the tail too) dis¬ 
pelled those doubts instanter! By way of further ex¬ 
planation for these who still dwell in darkness I would 
say that the “channel” or “forked tail” catfish is not a 
grubber or foul feeder. You fish for him and his kinfolk 
out where the water is running and clear, out among 
the reefs, and you’ll find on inquiry that his diet is 
about 90 per cent, juicy small fry and minnows. 
Brother Rudolph specifies that at all Gander Gun Club’s 
annuals no fish shall be delivered of greater weight than 
3)4 lbs. and none of less weight than 2 lbs. And further¬ 
more his specifications read that all fish must be de¬ 
livered to him on the battlefield alive and wiggling. 
Catfish experts will bear me out in the statement that 
Brother Rudolph and his fellow Ganders know what 
they are about when they specify as above! 
Just a few words as to the scores. Tom H. Clay of 
Austerlitz, Ky., was high amateur with 190 put of 200. 
He won the silver cup donated to the amateur mak¬ 
ing the highest score on the first 100 targets, his total 
being 96. Harry Strother of Winchester, Ky., and Z. C. 
Offutt of the home club tied for second high amateur 
on 186. while Mr. Offutt carried off the Kentucky State 
Challenge Trophy with a score of 98 out of his last 
100 targets. C. A. Edmunson came from Indianapolis 
and took third honors in the amateur ranks with 185, 
while Alfred Clay, the sterling good shot from Paris, 
Ky., von fourth amateuf honors with 181.
