1 he /\nsiey FI. rox Gaun is the best balanced gun built to-day. 
Weight saved by eliminating useless parts is added where greater strength 
is advantageous, yet without disturbing the exact and symmetrical proportion 
of the arm. Thus the Fox ” handles with ease and certainty—a point of 
prime importance to the shooter. Wonderful simplicity in the firing 
mechanism, unbreakable coiled main springs and exquisite workmanship 
throughout are also qualities of the A. H. Fox Gun — 
u The Finest Gun in tlie ’World ?? 
Ask your dealer to show you grade “C,” list price

THE A. H. FOX CUN CO., 
4670 North 18th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 
known as the City of Troy cup. It will be presented 
by the celebration committee of the Chamber of Com¬ 
merce. We will also make it an object for the profes¬ 
sional shooters, as we will have several valuable prizes 
for them to win. 
The Union Metallic Cartridge Co. and the Remington 
Arms Co. have entered into this tournament with a 
grand spirit. They will have Mrs. Frank Butler, or as- 
she is better known, Annie Oakley, visit us at this time, 
and she will be the chief attraction. Mrs. Butler will 
give her wonderful exhibition with rifle, shotgun and 
revolver. This exhibition will be something new in. 
this section, and will attract a great crowd, which we are 
making great preparation to handle. 
On account of Mrs. Butler’s visit, the lady members 
of our club have organized a reception committee, and 
will make Mrs. Butler’s visit a very pleasant one. An¬ 
other feature that the ladies will have is that they will 
serve an old-fashioned dinner on the grounds to the 
shooters immediately after the programme is finished on 
the first day. We are all working hard, and the club 
will spare no expense to make the visitors happy. 
By the way, Mr. Editor, I wish to say that the Moun¬ 
tain View Gun Club appreciates the attention you have 
given us, and they extend to you a vote of thanks. 
They also extend to. you and your staff an invitation to. 
come up to Troy on Sept. 7 and 8 and join in the fes¬ 
tivities. 
Our programme will be ready in a few days.

Mrs. Topperwein’s 961 out of 1000. 
Few men, however expert and hardened they may be 
in work at the trap, would care to undertake the feat 
of shooting at 1,000 clay targets in one day, there being 
only one or two instances on record where this has been 
done. The magnitude of Mrs. Ad. Topperwein’s per¬ 
formance will therefore be realized. In San Antonio, 
Texas, on July 17, shooting at 1,000 targets thrown from 
regular traps, 50yds., at unknown angles, 16yds. rise, she 
broke 961, over 96 per cent. Her. longest run was 111, 
made in the middle of her exhibition. The time con¬ 
sumed was four hours and thirty-five minutes. How well 
she stood the strain of this gruelling process is shown

MRS. ADOLPH TOPPERWEIN. 
by the fact that she broke 98 out of the last 100, and the 
last 25 straight. This is truly lemarkable, as to raise a 
7141bs. gun to the shoulder one thousand times in succes¬ 
sion, besides receiving the recoil of the explosion, calls 
for endurance and courage of the highest order; and 
Mrs. Topperwein declared after the performance that she 
would be ready to shoot again the next day. It is 
doubtful if there is another woman living that could 
equal this performance, if indeed shoot so many times 
in succession. Mrs. Topperwein is the wife of Mr. 
Adolph Topperwein, of San Antonio, Tex., the world 
famous fancy and trick rifle shot, and since her debut 
in the shooting world three or four years ago, she has 
steadily risen, until to-day she is probably the most ex¬ 
pert lady shot in the world, either with rifle, revolver or 
shotgun.
