on strictly scientific principles. Analyze 
the three working parts—Hammer, Sear, 
Main Spring—then compare with parts in 
other makes. The superiority 
of the Fox will then be fully 
appreciated.

. inspection. Every part is gauged. Each gun is shot 
^ with enormous overcharge as required by all Euro¬ 
pean Governments. 
Fox Hammer — Heaviest where the greatest strain comes. Strikes 
primer direct. Gives quickest possible blow. Eliminates all deli¬ 
cate and troublesome firing pins. Is a positive gas check and above 
all is practically unbreakable. 
Fox Sears —Will stand long, continuous service 
and always give uniform results. Made from drop 
forging of special tool steel.

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
Tests by the Board of Experts, appointed by the As¬ 
sistant Secretary of War, to select the best rifle cartridges 
for use in the national matches the coming summer, 
were held at Sea Girt, N. T., recently. Various makes 
of cartridges were presented at the trials, and after ex¬ 
haustive tests, those made by the Winchester Repeating 
Arms Company were officially selected. 
The mean radius of the 64 targets made with Winches¬ 
ter cartridges, 32 made at 600yds., and a like number 
at 1,000yds., was 7.122 inches. Winchester cartridges also 
won the test last year, the mean radius of the targets 
made being 7.316 inches. The figures made last year 
were considered wonderful, but they were bettered at 
the tests held this year.
