SPORTSMAN'S PORTABLE CUP. 



These articles are made of elastic compound or vegetable 

 leather. They are intended as a substitute for the articles here- 

 tofore made of animal leather, well known to sportsmen. The 

 chief recommendation of this pattern of cup is, that it folds more 

 compactly than any other. 



SHOT BAGS. 



Shot bags are manufactured, either single or double, of non- 

 elastic compound or vegetable leather. They may be advanta- 

 geously made in moulds, hke gum-elastic hollow-ware, with 

 caoutchouc ivory tubes, cemented to the bag in the process of 

 manufacture. 



POWDER FLASKS. 



Sportsmen's flasks, for either powder or shot, are made of 

 non-elastic compound or gum-elastic whalebone, by the same 

 method as gum-elastic hollow-ware. They may be recom- 

 mended for their durability as well as for their water-proof 

 qualities. See plate xxii., figs. 8 and 9. 



POUCHES. 



A variety of patterns of these are made of gum-elastic fabrics. 

 With the addition of the water-proof clasps or fastenings, they 

 are made quite water-proof See plate xxii., fig. 10.
