The A. H. Fox Gun 
Here is a gun which inventive skill has improved until it 
stands in a class by itself. Think of eliminating one-half the parts 
ordinarily used in hammerless guns and having left a stronger action and a surer one Note 
the simplicity of mechanism in sectional cuts below. The cocking lug “A,” which is carried bv the 
barrels, engages directly with the front ends of both hammers, and this one piece lifts both hammers 
to full cock as the gun is opened for loading. It is the simplest, strongest and smoothest workine 
cocking mechanism in the world. Fox Guns all have coil main springs and coil top lever springs 
guaranteed not to break, and a wedge-shape locking bolt which prevents the gun from shooting 
loose. It is a combination of the best mechanical principles known in gun-making with the finest 
workmanship and material that can be bought, and it is recognized by all shooters who are judges as 
“ THE FINEST GUN IX THE WORIJ) ”

Winona Tournament. 
\\ in °n a , Miss.—The registered tournament of the 
Winona, Miss., Gun Club, Aug. 27 to 29, was a success 
m every particular, except in point of amateur attend¬ 
ance. Mr. W. D. Turner, the genial young secretary, 
left nothing undone that would add to the pleasure of 
those in attendance, and deserves much credit for the 
.manner in which the shoot was pulled off. 
The traps were set in an open field, with a clear sky 
background, while the shooters were afforded ample pro¬ 
tection from the sun by large canvas awnings and tents 
erected for the occasion. A large tub of ice-cold lemon¬ 
ade was kept handy for the shooters, while a nice lunch 
was served at noon by the club. 
The Jack Rabbit system was used, the money being 
divided on the percentage plan. Mr. W. A. Long, the 
popular trade representative, took care of the office in 
“his usual good form.” 
On account of the light attendance, it was decided to 
reduce the last day’s programme to 100 targets and shoot 
it off after the regular programme on the 28th, thus 
enabling the boys to finish one day earlier and take 
advantage of a much-need rest, for they had been on 
the firing line all week. 
Notwithstanding the beautiful conditions, the targets 
were exceptionally hard, for the negro trap boys, new 
to the game, seemed to take delight is seeing which 
could throw the most targets that would outwit the 
shooter, and when they ran out of angles, would simply 
elevate or lower the trap as the notion struck them. 
r \ hus it was that by “actual count” about eight straight¬ 
aways were thrown during the day. Unfortunately, the 
entire eight must have been drawn by one Guy Ward, 
who, when the programme was finished, it was found 
had lost just that number, and it is a well-known fact 
that Guy never misses a hard one. Good business, 
“KM,” but you had to do it, for “Taut” Huff and Old 
Hatch were right on your heels. 
To Mr. C. A. Courtney, of Sulligent, Ala., fell the 
honor of high amateur average, and while his score is 
nothing like as high as one usually sees following his 
name, he never made a better one in his fife. I had the 
pleasure of shooting by his side in the same squad, and 
the good judgment he displayed throughout cannot be 
too highly commended. 1 saw him start off at Yazoo 
City with only 3 down out of 120, and yet I do not con¬ 
sider that score any better than the one he made on this 
occasion. 
Second amateur average was won by Mr. W. M. Tally, 
of Winona. In Mr. Tally, lots of the boys will remem¬ 
ber an excellent shot in the good old days of the G. 
A. H. at live birds, he being one of the number who 
made the trip from Chicago with the Rice party, and 
whose picture is not by any means the worst looking of 
those published in the souvenir programme commemorat¬ 
ing that occasion. Mr. Tally has been out of the game 
for some while, but his good score shows that he still 
knows where to hold. 
Among the other amateurs present were Messrs. E. E. 
Wilkins, of Duck Hill, Miss., who finished next; W. S. 
Eskridge, and J. E. Tyler, likewise of Duck Hill; 
Walter Caldwell, Troy, Tenn., and W. J. Jennings, 
Grenada, Miss. 
The trade representatives were Col. T. T. Anthony,

Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 4.—Event 1 was for the 
club medal, won by Sheppard; Orleman was a close 
second, missing his last bird. Haber says he sure wants 
a win on this before it is won for good. He will have 
to hustle some. Pratt was with us and made a 23, which 
is going some. 
The boys are coming out more now, getting in shape 
for the \\ esty Hogans, on the Pier. Some of them will 
make a good showing.
