THE OOLOGIST. 



Our Artistic Bird and Game Pieces. 



Our exhibit of Forty Bird pieces at the World's Fair created quite a furore. Air 

 were suitably framed and covered with the pateut Oval Convex Glass Shades 

 with flat corners, hermetically sealed — making them absolutely air tight, dust and 

 moth proof — and will last a life time. All of the "live" pieces were with painted 

 backs made to represent as nearlj' as possible the natui'al habitation of the birds. 

 The birds mounted, standing as in life, on natural rocks, stumps or ledges. Our 

 Hanging Dead Game pieces had either plush or natural wood backgrounds. The 

 value of the pieces exhibited ranged from $18 to $100 each. The Trout piece 

 (illustrated above) was a very popular one. The trout itself was a 3| pounder 

 and when mounted in this manner makes an elegant piece, suitable for any place 

 and admired alike by all whether a disciple of Izaak Walton or not. It is perhaps 

 needless to add that the latter class fairly raved over the sample piece in our ex- 

 hibit and many could not leave without placing their order for a duplicate. 

 In a review of the "Ornithology of the World's Fair" one of the editors of The 

 Auk — the high-toned American Journal of Ornithology — says that from an artistic 

 or taxidermic standpoint the exhibit of "panels of game-birds shown by F. H. Lat- 

 tin & Co. are probably the best."
