The A. H. Fox Gun 
“The Finest Gun in the World” 
Write for booklet fully describing the A. H. Fox Oun 
THE A. H. FOX GUN CO., 4670 North 18th St., Philadelphia, Pa. 
Place an A. H. Fox Gun beside the best of other guns, and the comparison will favor 
the “Fox.” It has the best model, finest finish, most perfect balance ever 
brought together in a gun. 
But the two great features of “Fox” superiority are simplicity and strength. Its action 
has the fewest parts ever assembled in a gun frame, and for that reason its liability to break¬ 
age is practically nothing. Besides, in the “ Fox” the margin of safety is greatest—there 
is an added weight of metal where powder strain is heaviest. 
Examine the A. H. Fox Gun—test it—note these points of superiority for yourself, and 
you will pronounce it to be what it is—

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00 
Mr. Hammond enjoys ’among his field companions tht 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is* 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch ol 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse 01 
partridge. This prompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods b\ 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this origina 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original 
because, as the chapters will show the author was m If 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the form- 
of practice followed were his own. This then may bt 
termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it wa- 
successful in his own experience, being here set forth 
simply and intelligently, it will prove not less effective 
with others.

Kentucky State Tournament, 
The sixth annual tournament of the Kentucky Tra 
shooters’ League was held at Dayton, Ky., on May 
and 28, under the auspices of the Northern Kentuc 
Gun Club, and was one of the best ever given by t 
League. The grounds afford ample room for a fc 
crowd, and the arrangements of the club for taking ca 
of the shooters and spectators were pretty nearly perfe 
Some minor details might have been improved upon, b 
the officers of the club are still new at the tourname 
business, and in view of their evident desire and effc 
to please everybody, these small matters may be ov< 
looked. The weather on both days was good, but v 
comfortably hot, there being little breeze to temper t 
sun’s rays. Two sets of traps were used and work 
perfectly, so that the programme was finished in go 
season each day. The new club house is nearing co 
pletion. It will be a handsome building when finish! 
situated so as to give a fine view of the entire groun 
from the veranda, and sport at the traps on the teni 
courts, archery range and casting lake can all be set 
The office work was in charge of Messrs. F. Pragi 
and E. Frohliger, and none of the shooters were ke 
waiting very long for their winnings after the close 
the programme. Messrs. C. Kline and Fieber acted 
referees; Huber and Sugarman, scorers. 
The trade was represented by Messrs. C. O. 
Compte, R. Chamberlain, H. D. Freeman, A. M. Hatch 
H. Heikes, W. H. Heer, R. Trimble, H. Money a 
C. A. Young. 
The programme consisted of ten 20-target events 
each day, with an extra event as a sort of consolati 
for the unfortunate ones who broke less than 80 j 
cent, out of 100 targets each day. The prizes w< 
numerous, the one in the State championship ev< 
being a large chest containing seventy-two pieces of s 
ver, one ol the most valuable prizes ever offered at 
tournament. Three high average moneys were givi 
Division of money in the regular events was Rose s 
tern, 4, 3, 2, 1. In the championship event the entrar 
was .$5, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. 
The sixth annual meeting of the League was held 
113 East Fifth street, on Wednesday evening, Presidt 
Kinkead presiding. The minutes of the last meeti 
were read and approved. The roll call found the folic 
ing clubs represented: Bourbon County; Jeffers 
County; Maysville Gun Club, Kentucky Gun Club, 1 
Sterling Gun Club, Davies County Gun Club, Faye 
Gun Club, Paducah Gun Club, Harrison County G 
Club, Hopkinsville Gun Club. The question of allc 
ing proxies to be voted was discussed. This is not 
lowable under the provisions of the constitution. T 
chair decided that they should be admitted, and 
appeal being taken, called Mr. Ward to the chair, a 
gave his reasons for this decision. He stated that 
precedent had been established to admit proxies, a 
thought, if it were not strictly constitutional it shoi 
be made so. A roll call of the clubs sustained 1 
president. Under miscellaneous business, Mr. \Y; 
urged all League members to exert their influence w 
legislators to have proper game protective bills plat 
on the statute books. The Lexington Country Club v 
admitted to membership . in the League. The Northt 
Kentucky Gun Club and Jefferson County Gun Club w 
applicants for the annual live-bird tournament. It v 
voted that the tournament be held on the former clu 
grounds in October, 1908, the exact date to be pamed 
the club. The seventh annual target tournament v 
wanted by the Lexington Country Club and the Jeff 
son County Gun Club. The event was awarded to i 
latter and will be held in May, 1909, at Louisville. T 
election resulted as follows: President, G. B. Kinkei 
■Vice-President, J. Q. Ward; Secretary-Treasurer, 
Pragoff. All unanimously re-elected for another tei 
Monday, May 25, was practice day, and a program 
of 100 targets was, provided for those who wished to i 
the hang of the grounds before starting in on the serit 
work of the tournament. Quite a number of out-of-to 
shooters were on hand, and some good scores were ma 
H. D. Freeman was high gun on 98 after a close r: 
with C. O. he Compte, who finished with 97. The c 
was bright and very hot, with little wind. The scores

May 27, Firs! Day. 
Wednesday, the opening day, was a scorcher, and 
was hard work to get any hustle into the shooters, wl 
their turn came to get out on the firing line. Howev 
the programme was pulled off without much delay, a 
the last event was finished by 5 o’clock. Over fo 
shooters took part in the day’s sport, most ot th 
shooting through. The fight for high gun was a ch 
one between Heer and Money, the former winning by t 
targets, with 194 to 192, gaining one target on Money 
each 100. Lon Fisher and W. Henderson tied for h 
amateur on 191. T. Clay was second with 185. Long i, 
for the day was made by Henderson, who broke 
Other runs were made by T. Clay, 60; Chamberlain, 
Walker, 47; Fisher and Freeman, 43 each. 
The prize for high average in the first 100 was w 
by Fisher with 96; Henderson and Clay, 95 each; McF 
94. The special prize, a Fox gun, was won by Damei 
on a straight score of 25, against eleven competitors
