The Gun That Shows Quality 
The “Fox” is the 
strongest of guns. It 
cuts down by half, the parts 
used in other guns, and builds its 
fewer parts doubly strong. 
The “Fox” never shoots loose. Its 
coil, main and top-lever springs never break! 
Thousands who shoot it declare it 
“THE FINEST GUN IN THE WORLD” 
Ask the man who shoots one, what he thinks of the 
Fox Gun; or ask your dealer to show you one 
Catalogue on request. 
THE A. H. FOX GUN CO., 4670 NORTH 18th ST., Philadelphia, Pa. 
from muzzle to butt plate, is the 
A. H. FOX Gun. In the “Fox,” 
the highest mechanical skill 
has shaped the best gun¬ 
building materials into 
a gun of perfect 
model, balance 
and artistic 
finish.

Providence (K. I.) Revolver Club. 
Providence, R. I., Dec. 12.—On Saturday, Dec. 5. we 
shot a revolver match with the South Providence Rifle 
and Revolver Association, an aggregation composed 
mostly of military shooters, who are enthusiastic on 
shooting. The match was shot on their range at Nor¬ 
wood, shooting on an outdoor range. A biUsiering, cold 
cross-wind made things uncomfortable for both shooters 
and spectators, and many contestants shot with gloves 
and overcoats on. Good scores were out of the question 
under the conditions prevailing. 
We were decidedly unfortunate in this match in hav¬ 
ing but nine men against our competitors’ ten men, and 
they therefore gained a lead of .101 points. 
To-day the return match was shot on our Arlington 
range, and as weather conditions were better and as we 
shot from shelter the scores showed a decided improve¬ 
ment all round. W e tried our best to make up for the 
loss of one man’s score for last week, and succeeded in 
beating our opponents by 88 points on the day’s score, 
though they won the match on aggregate scores by 13 
points. 
W. PI. P'reeman, of our club, was easily high man in 
the match with a total of 337, with Almy second with 
307. Capt. Harrington, of the South Providence team, was 
high man for his team with 282, with Strom a close 
second with 281. The match was shot at 50yds., 20 shots 
per man in each match, highest aggregate of the two 
matches to determine winner.

National Capital Rifle and Revolver Club. 
Washington, D. C.—The regular meeting of the clubj 
was held on Monday night, Dec. 7, and although the 
attendance was not as large as couid be desired, there 
was considerable practice had by the revolver shooters 
and the .22 rifle cranks. There was quite a varied assort¬ 
ment of weapons in evidence at the firing point. One 
of the members was using a .22 automatic, ana the queer 
little pit-pat-pit-pat noise produced closely resembled— 
well, almost anything. Major wheeler was trying to find 
the elusive black with some kind of an antique object 
that might have passed oft tor a small toy cannon, but 
those wno saw the satisfied grin that illumined the 
Major’s kindly face when he ,quit shooting were almost 
convinced that the alore-mennoned monstrosity might 
possess some redeeming features alter all. Arthur John¬ 
son was industriously plugging away with a carbine, andl 
made some good groups. 
An impromptu three-cornered match was shot between 
the members of the club and the George W ashington 
University boys, who have been practicing reguiarly with 
.22 Sprmghelds, and resulted in the University boys, 
winning out by 9 points. 
The members of the revolver team are practicing for the 
next match of the series with the .Baltimore Revolver 
Association, which will be shot on Dec. 28. The high 
score that the team made in the match last week, 1530, 
has maae them feel that if diligent practice counts for 
anything, they will be able to keep on the other side of 
the 150o mark, and incidentally hope to take time from 
the handsome clock that goes to the team winning a 
majority of the matches. The scores: Capt. P. Whit¬ 
worth 84, 84, 84, 87, 89; W. J. Macdonnall 87, 81, 76, 80; 
Capt. Sheridan Ferree 83, 85, 85; P'rank Holt 76, 81, 77; 
Paul Bischoft 79, 82. 
Rifle and Pistol Competitions. 
Experts with the rifle and pistol, and amateurs as well, 
will have excellent opportunities to make scores and, 
secure valuable trophies during the time of the Sports¬ 
men’s Show at the Mechanics’ Building, Boston, Mass.,, 
beginning the 24th inst., and ending Jan. 5, 1909. A long 
list of events for teams, clubs and individuals has been, 
nearly completed, making a tournament which is certain 
to arouse widespread interest and the keenest com¬ 
petition. So far the response has been most encouraging 
to the committee. The intention is to offer such an in¬ 
viting programme that novices, as well as experienced 
and most skillful shots, will enter the various contests,, 
with the result of a general uplifting of this phase of 
sportsmanship.
