The A. H. FOX GUN 
All the good points of the A. H. Fox Gun 
do not appear on the outside; yet if you 
were to judge a dozen high grade guns by model and finish 07z/y, you could pick a Fox 
every time without seeing the name plate. 
But the real worth of the A. H. Fox Gun lies in its mechanical construction. If 
you were to see the firing, ejecting and locking mechanism of the u Fox” side by side with 
similar parts from other guns, you would be amazed at the absolute simplicity of the “Fox.” 
Then, if you remember that simplicity means strength and reliability you have 
the reason for “Fox” supremacy. 
“Fox” guns are made in different grades at different prices. Write for descriptive 
literature or ask to see the gun most in favor with trap-shooters, grade C,” listed at $100.

[July 25 , 1908 . 
on such committee, and the local members then, afte 
acting', would know what it is to live down the mistake 
of the past, as seen by the contestants who in their owi 
minds make their own handicaps. It is all right to hav- 
a permanent committee for the G. A. H., but, if tlv 
Interstate Asociation in its wisdom were not so in 
fallible, one might be tempted to reiterate that a stand 
ing handicap committee is both undesirable and in 
operative. . . 
M. J. D. Jordan, of Springfield, gave an exhibition o 
physical versatility by using his gun from the lef 
shoulder in the sweepstakes, and from the right shou'.de; 
in the handicaps. He began this shift last year, owinj 
to a sore right shoulder. This is a circumstance whicl 
quite a number of shooters should carefully note, as it i 
surely within the bounds of possibility that they would hi 
oftener if they shot from the left shoulder. 
The competition was much dotted with champions} 
There was Champion Horace Kirkwood, who was haile, 
as the shooting premier of all New Eng'and. Ther 
were Champion H. E. Buckwalter, of Pennsylvania: 
Champion ChaunCy M. Powers, of Illinois; Champio: 
H E Edgerton, of Connecticut; Champion Eugene C 
Griffiths, of Rhode Island; Champion A. B. Richardsor 
of Delaware: Champion George L. Lyon, of Nort 
Carolina; Champion Benjamin A. Eastman, of Vermont 
and also quite a group of near champions. 
Canada was represented by Mr. G. M. Howard, c 
Sherbrooke, and Dr. Henry P. Stockwell, of Stansteac 
They are members of the Sherbrooke Gun Club, unde 
whose auspices the next tournament of the Dominion c 
Canada Trapshooting Association will be held, Aug. ! 
6 and 7. They also have achieved fame as contestants c 
nerve and skill, both being members of the 5-man teat 
which won the 5-man team championship of Canada, i 
Toronto, last year. 
The cartoonist of the Boston Herald made some happ 
hits in depicting the most famous shooters who were 1 
attendance. That' of John Philip Sousa was special! 
felicitous, as it had a charming blend of whiskers an 
repose of manner which neither calm nor storm ca 
disturb. That of Chief Tom Marshall showed a doub 
chin on the front of his neck, and a single chin on tf 
back of it, which, with certain other rotund curves o 
cheeks and chin, were visible signs of terrapin an 
mushrooms, notwithstanding the alleged hard times. Bn 
falo Smith was depicted with huge spectacles and wn 
that furtively alert manner which betimes is a chara 
teristic, as if spotting some good shooter who had ; 
yet escaped membership within the fold of the Paleface 
The performance of Mr. D. T. Leahy, of the Ne 
York Athletic Club, in scoring 19 out of a possible p 
at ten pairs, was the sensation of double target shootir 
among the invincibles. As the youngsters move in tl 
oldsters move out, willy nilly. 
A glance at the scores of the men who stood at 21yd 
will show that they were_ trailing quite a bit behind tl 
score of the winner. This was attributed largely to tl 
weather conditions, but perhaps some good weatherwi 
shooter will indicate some target competition at whn 
there were no weather conditions. 
The portraits of Mr. Shaner and the trophy winner 
Messrs. Buckwalter and Lyon, are from a photograp 
taken before the large assemblage of shooters and spt 
tators, as Mr. Shaner was about to present the trophu 
Mountain View Gun Club. 
Troy, N. Y., July 18.—The weather conditions we 
very disagreeable this afternoon, showers prevailin 
Despite these conditions, thirteen members faced t 
traps, and some excellent scores were made. Valenti 
was high gun, with Roberts a close second. 
Vroman is improving fast, and he is looked upon 
becoming one of the crack shots of the club. 
Mrs. G. Butler shot very well to-day. She has be 
ill, and is again able to take part in the weekly shoo 
Our Old Home Week tournament, Sept. 7-8, promis 
to be one of the biggest events ever held in eastq 
New York. We are making great preparation for tl 
‘■ournament, and I wish to announce that we will ha 
$100 added money, also average money for those w 
shoot for targets only. We will also have valual 
prizes for the professional shooters. Our list of m 
chandise prizes will also be a valuable one. 
It will be our special effort to make the stay of t 
visiting shooters a very pleasant one. 
Programmes will be ready by Aug. 1. Any pers

secretary, J. J. Earrell. The following are to-da
