while those who needed the most practice got the least. 
At the same time, the men on the team, to find time to 
practice had to neglect other important branches of 
study, so the Academy authorities decided to abandon 
the team idea because it violated the principle of equal 
instruction for all. Col. Scott states that the individual 
figure of merit has increased from 87.43 in 1906 to 130.42 
in 1909. The present year was marked by the best figure 
of merit every recorded at West Point. Col. Scott says 
that the Military Academy will be only too glad to 
arrange for a contest in marksmanship with the Naval 
Academy, the teams representing the two institutions 
shooting one year at West Point and the following year 
at Annapolis, the teams to be chosen by drawing lots 
front the first class of marksmen at each Academy. 
This plan, he says, would make every cadet in the class 
a candidate for the team, and would do away with the 
objectionable and defective practice of training a few at 
the expense of many. 
The annual meeting of the board of directors of the 
National Rifle Association of America will be held in 
Washington in January, 1910, and will be immediately 
followed by the meeting of the National Board for Pro¬ 
motion of Rifle Practice. The report of Lieut.-Col. R. 
K. Evans, U. S. A., executive officer of the last national 
matches, will be considered at that time, and the place 
and date for the next annual matches will be selected. 
All indications point to the selection of Camp Perry, 
Ohio, where the last three national matches have been 
held, and the date will doubtless be fixed for some time 
in August. , , , T . 
Gen. James A. Drain, president of the National Rifle 
Association, announced last January that he would not 
again accept a re-election, and one of the questions be¬ 
fore the board of directors will be the election of his 
successor. The name of Lieut.-Gen. J. C. Bates is 
prominently mentioned in this connection.

We claim that the strong and simple mechanical ar¬ 
rangement of the A. H. Fox Hammerless Gun posi¬ 
tively places it in a class by itself. 
We guarantee “Fox" coil main and top lever springs 
—not for a few years, but for the entire life of the gun. 
We guarantee the “ Fox” rotary, wedge-shape lock¬ 
ing bolt never to allow “shooting loose.” 
We guarantee workmanship and materials to be 
perfect. 
These are strong claims, but we back them by the 
experience of years and the voluntary testimony of hun¬ 
dreds who assert that “Fox” simplicity and strength 
make it an absolutely reliable gun under the most exacting 
service conditions. ’
