WHY the Fox Gun 
Is Superior to All Others 
as to give maximum strength with minimum 
weight—it is the best balanced and safest gun built. In the light, symmetrical frame of the 
A. H. FOX GUN 
■we put a firing mechanism positively simple in principle and construction—it reduces the more cumber¬ 
some action of competitors by half and multiplies their strength by two. The “Fox” employs coiled 
main and top-lever springs which we guarantee unbreakable. The top-lever locking bolt on the Fox 
Gun can never shoot loose. Men who have shot the “Fox” under all conditions for years verify this 
statement. The beauty of the A. H. Fox Gun is beyond question. Built by experts , oi the finest 
material and rigidly tested, the man who buys a “Fox” is assured of possessing 
THE. FINEST GUN IN THE. WORLD” 
Let us prove these claims—write for free literature. Better yet, buy a “Fox" and prove them yourself.

though it is first of all a book about America, its game 
and its people.

Stenten Athletic Club. 
Philadelphia, Pa., March 27.—Herewith are scores in 
Stenton Athletic Club first’s trophy shoot. The wind blew 
a gale from score to traps, carrying a 50yd. target fOyds., 
and often further. The scores show the conditions on one 
of the prettiest shooting grounds in the county, but 
level as can be, so the wind had a great drive at it. 1 he 
first win was scored by Mr. Jack Nobie, formerly of 
Century Wheelman fame, shooting as Scott, with 30 
targets added. A glance at the score, however, will show 
that eight out of fifteen (aside from Mr. Nobie) scored 
83 to G6, only a difference of 3 targets. It is an experi¬ 
ment with this club in handicapping to draw the line 
through 80 per cent., placing those who ever made this 
percentage at distance handicaps, and those who never 
shot so well at 16yds. with targets added according to 
record. Mr. Nobie outshot himself, and with his 30 
added, beat the field. 
The scores follow. Each event was at 20 targets; total 
100:

''Rifle 'Range and Gallery, 
Myles Standish Rifle Club. 
Portland, Me-, March 27.—The indoor season closes 
to-morrow night at ten, to be followed a week later by 
the annual meeting and banquet. We have a few matches 
on viz, hand guns, to-night with Providence Revolver 
Club, a week from to-night with the Boston Revolver 
Club and the Lynn Rifle Club, and a rifle match with 
Company A, Sixth Massachusetts, next Tuesday night, 
but after these are out ql the way, only the most per- i 
sistent shooters will be found around the indoor range. 
The indoor season has been a most successful one, and 
a great deal of sport has been created by our re-entry 
tournament. The membership of the club has been 
doubled this winter, and we will have to enlarge our 
indoor gallery or erect an up-to-date shooting plant on 
our out-door range. . 
We have an entry list in the rifle division of forty-six 
contestants with but one man below the 400 mark. The 
marksmanship of Geo. Wilkins has been excellent with 
the military rifle, and at this writing has eight possibles 
and two forty-nines for ten best targets, but he has 
assured us he intends to make it ten possibles before 
the close of to-morrow night. Stevens took a spurt this 
week and secured two possibles last night.. Our average 
for the entire list is a good strong 46. • 
Probably the greatest surprise has come in the_ hand 
gun division in the person of L. R. Hatch. Under the 
most able coaching of W. M. Fawcett, Hatch is at the 
present time leading this division, notwithstanding the 
fact that thirteen months ago an 8-inch pistol was placed 
in his hand for the first time. He completed his score 
on Dec. 30, and since that time has shown an improve¬ 
ment of 221 points. Under the advisement of his teacher, 
a 10-inch barrel was placed on his gun just a week ago, 
which, it is safe to say, had added at least three or four 
points on his average shooting. This week he ptit up a 
new 50 consecutive shot record of 462. Hayden, last 
year’s winner in this class, has been hard at work hold¬ 
ing down top place, and the outcome in this division is 
yet unsettled at this writing. 
With the closing of the indoor season there will come 
a brief rest of a couple of weeks, and then we open 
our out-door season on April 19, with an all-day shoot.
