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—

The Palefaces. 
Boston, Mass., July 29. —Barring a slight breeze, which 
shortened the flight of right-hand targets materially and 
correspondingly lengthened the left-quarterers, the shoot 
ing conditions were ideal for good scores at the Paleface 
grounds to-day. 
The usual attendance was on hand, though a number of 
the steadies were away enjoying much needed vacations, 
and the interest never waned till the last gun was fired. 
As was the case a week ago, a newcomer was the star, 
though in this case Edwards has been doing some fine 
shooting for some time past, but gets very little time to 
spend with us. Shooting from the 19yd. mark, which 
to-day was the limit, is no cinch; but the way that first 
50 were ground up was a treat to see. The second 15 of 
his last lap was the only bad hour, and hip good work of 
the early events stood in for him, as Atwood came along 
with a rush and nearly nipped him, breaking 45 out of 
his last 50, and in a most conclusive manner. 
Buffalo and Hassam had it out as usual, “the Candy 
Kid” getting the decision this time and offsetting his 
rival’s victory of a week ago. 
Charles seemed away off with 75, and sighed for his 
new 16-gauge, to see if any better results could be ob¬ 
tained. Next time a 95 may be the case, and the bad 
half hour will have been somewhat repaid for. Scores:

July 22.—A newcomer invaded the Paleface traps at 
Wellington to-day and carried off one of the most sought 
after honors, the Massachusetts State championship. J. 
K. Burgess, of the Norfolk Country Club, after a good 
fight with Atwood, of the Watertown Club, won the 
honor by the narrow margin of one target, with Hassam 
close enough to take advantage of any let-down. 
In the regular programme the race was just as exciting, 
Buffalo nipping the high average with a target to spare 
over Hassam for second place. For a time it looked as 
though the Former Guv. General had returned to his old 
time form, his first 50 targets showing only 4 losses, but 
his next 15 nearly smashed the slate, 6 misses being 
chalked up against him. Buff, however, dotes on just 
this sort of a finish, and he proceeded to grind, with 
the result of placing a most excellent

Washington, D. C., Aug. 1.—A week from to-day 
America will welcome home her victorious rifle team 
from the Olympic games. With the limited funds at 
the disposal of the committee on reception it has been 
impossible to prepare and handle the demonstration 
which should be accorded the victors over teams from 
all shooting countries, but this is more than off-set by 
the courtesies which will be extended by the Govern¬ 
ment. What the demonstration may lack in splendor
