EXHIBIT OF THOS. W. FRAINE, TAXIDERMIST, ROCHESTER, N. V 



and a collector's or taxidermist's gun. Parker 

 Bros, have been making guns for more than 30 

 3'ears, and what they don't know of the business 

 could be printed in a short paragraph. 



The Remington Arms Company, New York 

 and Ilion, N. Y., showed, among many other 

 interesting and beautiful samples of work, a full 

 line of the popular hammerless, semi-hammerless 

 and hammer Remington guns ; sporting, Flobert 

 and target rifles. It also showed the process of 

 manufacturing the hammerless gun, from the 

 crude material to the finished arm. These parts 

 were exhibited in two long show cases, so that 

 any one could see the consecutive work in the 

 making of a gun. On revolving stands were 

 shown the types of military arms made by the 



Remington Company since its organization in 

 18 16. The Remington factory is one of the 

 largest of its class in the world. It is managed 

 by progressive men, and may always be relied on. 



Thomas W. Fraine, a Rochester taxidermist. 

 exhibited a lot of fine trophies of field and 

 stream, including mounted heads of animals, 

 mounted game fishes and game birds, as weli as 

 skins of the Royal Bengal tiger and Indian 

 cheetah. Specially attractive was the speci- 

 mens of mounted trout in the act of taking the 

 fly — a work to which the exhibitor has devoted 

 much time, care and study. A rainbow trout 

 was exhibited, killed in Caledonia (reek, X. \ ., 

 said to be the largest of its species yet taken 

 in Eastern waters.
