EACH GARMENT DISTINCLY MARKED 

 f * 'BOSTON SHOOTING SUIT," 



made by 



I C.W. Simmons & Son 



This new design of Waterproof Shooting Suit, 

 made from extra quality duck, .has attained such 

 popularity as to be called for from all parts of the 

 country, and even from England. 



"Shipping clothing to England strikes us very much 

 like sending 'Coals to Newcastle,' but the merits 

 of the "BOSTON SHOOTING SUITS" have been 

 heard of in the Old Country, and that land of Bports 

 men has sent an order to Messrs. Simmons & Son, 

 which will doubtless be followed by many others."— 

 Boston Paper. 



The design embraces the best points of the English 

 and French Suits, combined with the necessary re- 

 quirements for American service. Particular atten- 

 tention has been paid to color. 



Each suit is water-proofed bv a new patent process. 

 The seams and pocket corners are Becurely fastened, 

 and nothing neglected to render the suit perfect in 

 every reBpect. 



THE PRICE HAS BEEN FIXED AT $13, TO IN- 

 CLUDE HAT OR DOUBLE YlsORED CAP. DE- 

 TACHABLE HAVELOCK, COAT, VEST, AND 

 PANTALOONS. 



One hundred suits will be kept ready in stock, so 

 that we can wrnisb to order any size required, at a 

 moment's notice. 



In the Golden Rule (Rev. W. H. H. Murray's paper) 

 the enthusiastic editor writes: — 



"W« were shown, the other day, a new water-proof 

 suit, specially adapted for Bportsmen, designed and 

 made up by Simmons & Son, of Boston, and to which 

 we call the attention of all brethren of the out-door 

 and shore -shooting fraternity, because it meets the 

 demand of personal comfort and convenience beyond 

 anything of home manufacture seen by us before. 

 As a sportsman, we give it our unqualified endorse- 

 ment, as combining the best points of the English 

 suits, and in addition skilfully adapted to the neces- 

 sities of the American service. It is a most admirable 

 and satisfactory contrivance in color, style, water- 

 proof quality and capacity. The coat is a marvel 

 in this latter respect."

"The Boston Shooting Suit. — One of the mo8t 

 successful manufacturers of Waterproof Shooting 

 Suits is the firm of G. W.Simmons & Son. Oak Hall, 

 Boston. We had one of their suits on dutv at Hun- 

 ter's Camp at Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition 

 It has grown gray in service, but is good 

 for use yet. This suit is known as the 'Boston 

 Shooting Suit,' in contradistinction no doubt, from 

 the garments which are manufactured out west and at 

 Washington, e«.ch of which has a local demand of its 

 own. It is said that 'the western prairie fowl can 

 distinguish any sportsniHn who visits their domain 

 by his clothes. Tney can tell him 'by the cut of his 

 jib, 1 and the old educated birds (which no one cares to 

 eat, by the way,) know exactly what distances to 

 keep from the rail-shooters, the brant men, and the 

 chicken-killers respectively, to be sate. They have 

 •got- them- all down tine.' This used not to be so be- 

 fore the waterproof shooting suits were invented. 

 Bostonians, Hoosiers and Buckeyes all stood the same 

 chance then. Bat now it is — with a sarill pipe to lee- 

 ward by the old-weather cock— 'here comes a Sim- 

 mons; cheese it!' or, 'Ere's a 'Enning — lie low!' or, 

 'Look out for Holiblrdl Scatter! you beggars, scat- 

 ter!"— FOREST AND STREAM 1

BULLETIN OF THE NUTTALL 0R- 

 NITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 



A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY. 



This journal (now entering upon its second volume) 

 is at present the only serial publication in America 

 devoted to GUNKnAi- ornithology. While it is in- 

 tended to serve primarily as a medium of communica- 

 tion between working ornithologists, it also contains 

 matter of a sufficiently valuable character to interest 

 all who take any interest m the general subject of 

 which it treats. Although devoted mainly to North 

 American Ornithology, it will be so far general m its 

 character as to five notices of all the more important 

 works or memories relating to Exotic Ornithology 

 The list of contributors to its pages already embraces 

 nearly all of the leading ornithologists of the country. 

 Among them are Dr. Elliott Cones. Mr. Robert Ridg- 

 way. Mr. George N. Lawrence, Dr. T. M. Brewer, 

 Dr. T. Hale Streets, Mr. H. W. Ilenshaw, Mr. Wil- 

 liam Brewster, Capt. Charles Bendire. U. S. A., Dr 

 J. C. Merrill, Dr. J. G. Cooper, Mr. E. W. Nelson" 

 and numerous others more or less well know to orni- 

 thological readers, its editorial supervision is in 

 charge of Mr. J A. Allen, assisted by Prof. S. F. 

 Baird, and Dr. Elliott Cones. Although published by 

 the Nuttall Ornithological Club of Cambridge, Mass. 

 it is not in any narrow sense the organ of any sectk n 

 or locality. It being conducted as a magazine op 

 ornithology, its department of reviews gives prompt 

 notices of all papers relating to North American Orni- 

 thology, as well as of all important ornithological 

 works or memoirs wherever appearing; while its de- 

 partment of "General Notes" is rich in notices of rare 

 or little known specie^ of North American birds, and 

 gives the latest and fullest intelligence attainable re- 

 specting the progress of ornithology in our own 

 country. It is hence a journal no one interested in 

 ornithology can well afford to be without. 



Terms: $1 00 a year (including postage), strictly in 

 advance; single numbers, 80 cents. Back numbers 

 can be supplied. Circulars, giving a list of contents
