nothing neglected to render the suit perfect in every 
respect.

In the OoMan fi*wA(Ruv. W If. II. Murray's paper)

“We were Fhown, the other day, a new water-proof 
suit,, f*p‘jciall l v i adapted for Fpoikmen, designed and 
made 11 p by Simmons &. Son, of Boston, mul to which 
we cad the attenfion of all brethren of the outdoor 
and shore -shooting fraternity, btcinuc it. meets the 
demand of personal comfort ami convtudoncc beyond 
anything of home manufacture sesn by us before. 
As a sportsman, we give It our unqualified eudorse- 
•ment, as combining 'he bed; points of the English 
suits, and in addition skilfully adapted to the neces¬ 
sities of the American service. It is a most admiruble 
and satisfactory contrivance iu color, style, water¬ 
proof quality and capacity. The coat is a marvel 
ill this latter respect.”
