The top hat picture of Ansley is from, I believe 1898. I found a "trade note" about Ansley and Mrs. Fox starting out from Philadelphia by automobile to drive to the Pennsylvania State Shoot at somewhere like Chambersburg and they had to eventually put the car on a train to get there. This was in the 1904 to 1906 time frame. I'm at our place in Kodiak, AK, right now. Will find the article and specifics when I'm back in Washington State. Ansley was at the last Grand American Handicap at live birds at Kansas City in 1902, but didn't shoot as well as he had at Interstate Park in 1900 and 1901.
