 Editor Forest and Stream and Rod and Gun I 



Please say, for the information of some of my 

 friends who may be misled by current statements, 

 that I am still on the same powder for all oot-door 

 shooting, which 1 have used for several years past, 

 Dever having risked the use of the nitrated powders 

 except when shooting in a «oniincd space in-doors, 

 when the smoke from any regular powder would 

 produce a smell rather oEt'en sive to some people, and 

 cause somewhat greater obstruction to vision.
