MEN WHO WILL MAKE THE EXPOSITION. 



New York will have, next spring, a 

 great exposition of guns, fishing 

 tackle and other goods used by 

 sportsmen. I say "great" advisedly. 

 It will be great because the right kind 

 of men have been chosen to get it up 

 and run it. The portraits of a few 

 of these men are shown herewith and 

 the following facts regarding them 

 are given in support of the above state- 

 ments. 



MR. CHARLES DALY. 



Mr. Charles Daly, Vice-President of 

 the Exposition Association, is a member 

 of ihe firm of Shoverling, Daly & Gales, 

 gun and fishing tackle dealers, at 302 

 Broadway, New York. This is one of 

 the largest houses of its class in the 

 country, having been in business for 

 more than twenty-five years. Its growth, 

 from a very small beginning to its 

 present magnitude, has been accom- 

 plished largely through the industry, 

 energy and business ability of Mr. 

 Daly. He is now in Europe, but is ex- 

 pected home soon, with a large, new 



MR. F. S. WEBSTER. 



stock of health and strength for the 

 winter's work. A man who can get rich 

 enough, in the gun business, to afford a 

 trip abroad must be a great financier, 

 and it is eminently proper that he 

 should be one of the managers of the 

 big show. 



Mr. Fred- 

 eric S. Web- 

 ster, the Sec- 

 retary, is a 

 naturalist, 

 furrier and 

 taxiderm i s t , 

 with studio at 

 106 East 23d 

 street. He 

 is a man of 

 unlimited 

 nerve and 

 energy, and is 

 one of the 

 most enthusi- 

 astic of all 



the promoters of the exposition. He is 

 already working day and night for it 

 and will continue to do so until its 

 lights are extinguished on the night of 

 the 1 8th of May, next. 



I don't 

 know who 

 orig inat ed 

 this scheme, 

 but I do 

 know that 

 Justus Von 

 L en ge rke , 

 of the big gun 

 house of Von 

 Lengerke & 

 Detmold, 

 n umber 8 

 M u r r a y 

 street, was 

 one of the 

 first men to 

 take off his 

 coat and go 

 to work at it in earnest. To him is 

 largely due the credit of having gotten 

 all the leading manufacturers of the 

 country to pledge their support to the 

 enterprise. 



MK. J. VON LENGERKE.
