The A. H. Fox Gun 
Place an A. H. Fox Gun beside the best of other puns, 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— 
“The Finest Gun in the World”

June 19, Fourth Day. 
Friday was a day of climaxes to the competition. Be¬ 
sides the five regular events, $2 entrance and $10 added, 
there were the shoot-offs for the averages, the Mallory 
cup contest, and No. 6, the novelty event. 
The morning opened clear and calm, and very hot. 
The lake had a mirror-like surface, reflecting the bright 
sunshine evenly, making a very high light along the 
shore. A fitful, strong breeze soon sprung up, blowing 
lakeward and causing the targets to take various erratic 
kinds of flights. About the shore, there seemed to be 
swirling air currents betimes, for after each breezy 
gust of wind the targets would fly high or take a lower 
flight than common, or suddenly duck, or take an un¬ 
dulating flight after the air resistance had checked the 
speed of the target a bit. As a consequence, misses were 
frequent. 
The light about 10 o’clock varied from a glare due to 
the white scattering clouds which drifted slowly across 
the sky. Gradually the clouds became heavier, the 
weather thickened, and rain fell about 2:30 o’clock. From 
a light rainfall, there was a sudden increase to a violent 
thunderstorm. The wind blew a gale. The treetops 
swayed furiously about, vivid streams of lightning played 
in zigzags from the clouds to the lake betimes, and 
the rain fell in torrents. Fortunately there was ample 
shelter in the cottages which line the shore. About 3:30 
the storm ceased, and the competition was resumed, the 
sky still being darkly overcast with a consequent dull, 
even light, in which the targets loomed up clearly. 
An early start was made in the morning, about 8:40, 
with the purpose of an early finish, to the end that many 
of the shooters might depart in the evening. 
There were twenty-nine moneys for the high guns of 
the four days, divided into three classes. Ties were to 
be shot off at 50 targets. 
In the class for 94 per cent, and over, there were only 
two contestants for the first average cup. In the first 
shoot-off at 50 targets, Crosby and Heer tied on 48 out 
of 50. In the second shoot-off at 25 targets, Heer scored 
22 to 21 by Crosby, and won first high average cup. 
In the second class, limited to those who scored 88 to 
94 per cent., the second average cup was won by H. W. 
Kahler, of Davenport, la., with a total of 48 out of 50. 
In the third class of ties, the third average cup was 
won by C. D. Linderman, of Lincoln, Neb., with a score 
of 44 out of 50. 
The Mallory cup was an event of special interest also. 
Out of the total of 100 targets in the sweepstake events, 
of the professionals, Rolla Heikes, Squier and Barkley 
broke 95, John Taylor 93, Heer and Crosby 92, Gilbert 
and Elliott 91. McCarty led all professionals and ama¬ 
teurs with 96; H. W. Kahler 93. E. O. Bower, D. A. 
Upson and J. S. Young 92, C. Powers 91.
