Thank you Dave! I posted this image on the Fox site a year or two ago. It was taken at the 1901 Sportsmen's Exposition. From station 5 (near post) to one I'm pretty sure they are R.O. Heikes (Remington Hammerless), possibly Ed Banks (Winchester Repeater), W.R. Crosby (Smith), Jack Fanning (Smith), and possibly B. LeRoy (Remington.) Could post 4 with the Winchester be A.H.??

On the Roof Garden the experts had their inning, and all devotees of this sport had an opportunity of witnessing the best shots in America in open competition. Never before has there been such an aggregation in the National Sportsmen's contests.

Fred Gilbert, R. O. Heikes, J. S. Fanning, W. R. Crosby, Frank Parmelee, J. J. Hallowell, Edward Banks, J. R. Hull, B. Le Roy, Phil Daly, A. H. Fox, Ed. Rike, Colonel Courtney, E. C. Griffith, S. Van Allen and others made a warm combination, and a man who won a medal knew that he earned it.

On the first day, March 2 Heikes won the championship medal, with 94 out of 100. Gilbert was next, with 91, although this was in his second trial, in which he broke but 19 out of his first 25. W. R. Crosby broke 90 in his first trial, and Gilbert 84. A. H. Fox was third, with 89 on his third chance. Parmelee had 86, Fanning 83, Le Roy 78.
