The A. H. FOX GUN 
has a taper lockin'^ bolt which 
takes uj) w e a r autosnatically. 
Constant use only serves to seat 
the wedge-shape bolt a trifle deeper. 
'Fherefore you may shoot your “Fox” till 
you’re old, and theji pass it on to your son, 
just as close at the breech and tight, as on 
the day you bought it. 
“Fox” coil main and top lever springs are 
unbreakable—guaranteed so. The “Fox” is 
“The Finest Qun in the World 
Its construction is simplicity itself. Fewer and Stronger parts, 
is a prime reason for “Fox” supremacy. It’s too simple a gun to 
get out of order—it’s too strong to break. The “Fox” has justly 
ear7ied\ts high reputationforexcellence, finish, balance and shooting 
qualities. See your dealer; or write for beautiful art catalogue.

New York S<a(e Shoot. 
Ossining, N. Y., Jan 27. — As we have gotten well 
started into 1909 we have commenced to look forward to 
the fifty-first annual shoot of the New York State Sports- 
man’s_ Asspciation, to he held in June at Syracuse, under 
the direction of the Onondago Gun Club of that place. 
It will be remembered that the Onondaga is a new gun 
club, made up of the active members of the Masonic 
Temole Gun Club, Messina Springs Gun Club and the 
old Syracuse Gun Club. Mr. W. E. Hookway. of Syra¬ 
cuse, is engaged in the big attempt of assembling all of 
the trap shots from the four corners of New York State 
by offering a programme so attractive, that it cannot help 
but succeed in his task. There are many reasons why 
the 1909 shoot of the New York State Association series 
should be the biggest yet. Any trap shot who can get 
away and who has a spark of interest in the trap doings 
of his State, will be on hand when the first gun is fired at 
Syracuse in June. 
The beautiful New York City cup, valued at $500, and 
emblematic of the clay bird championship of New York 
State, will be shot for for final possession by such 
shotgun warriors as F. D. Kelsey, of East Aurora; Sim 
Glover, of New York city; H. D. Kirkover, of Buffalo;
