THE STEVENS "TIP-UP" PISTOL. 



A very unique arm, manufactured by the J. Stevens 

 Arms & Tool Co., is the Stevens' '"Tip-Up" pistol. 



This pistol is a neat model for ladies' use, and can 

 be recommended for first lesson shooting. It is also 

 recommended as a shot pistol, very convenient for 

 target shooting at short range, or, where occasion may 

 arise, it would be suitable for shooting small game. The 

 barrel is 3^ inches long, has a nickel-plated frame, 

 single trigger, plain walnut grip stock, open sights, and 

 weighs 7 ounces. It is adapted for a .22 R. F. cartridge, 

 and listed at $2.50. 



THE DIFFERENCE OF KORONA CAMERAS. 



All cameras look very much alike; but Korona cameras 

 are different. Different in appearance through their 

 beautiful red mahogany finish (hand rubbed) and nickel- 

 plated brass trimmings; different because of their ex- 

 elusive features, such as the automatic swing back con- 

 forming to correct principles, diagonal rack and pinion 

 for focusing, patented auxiliary wide angle bed, lever 

 grip with adjustable parallel clutch, and different because 

 they are made with the greatest skill and care that 

 each Korona may be a credit to its fellows and add lustre 

 to the reputation of the Korona line. Fine lenses also 

 help to make Koronas different. 



THE PREMOETTE CAMERA. 



The Rochester Optical Company have just placed on 

 the market their new 2% x 3% Premoette camera, which 

 sells at the popular price of $5. 



The Premoette is a folding type, and when closed 

 only measures 1^x3^x4}^ inches, making it one- 

 third smaller than any other folding camera taking pic- 

 tures of equal size. It has a very fine Meniscus lens 

 fitted to automatic shutter of three variations of speed, 

 made especially for this camera. 



The focusing manipulation is very simple, one having 

 only to pull standard out to desired distance mark, where 

 it catches automatically. 



We recommend it to those desirous of purchasing an 

 up-to-date camera at small cost. 



MARBLE'S CAMP-KITCHEN KNIFE. 



A very useful article, manufactured by the Marble 

 Safety Axe Co., of Gladstone, Mich. The handles are 

 made of cocobola, which is a very hard wood. The blade 

 is protected with a Marble Knife Edge Protector, which 

 weighs less than one ounce, and occupies no room worth 

 mentioning. It adds very largely to the value of the 

 knife, making it perfectly safe to carry in any desired 

 manner without danger to the keen cutting edge or articles 

 or material packed or carried with it. Prices range from 

 75 cents to $1, according to the size of the blade. 



WINCHESTER "BRUSH" SHELLS 



Something new for field and brush shooting. Win- 

 chester "Brush" shells arc so loaded as to give an open 

 and uniform pattern at ranges of from 25 to 30 yards 

 when used in choke-bore guns, and for that reason are 

 desirable for bird shooting. The most pronounced point 

 of superiority of Winchester "Brush" shells lies in the 

 fact that the open and even pattern which they give is 

 obtained without loss or velocity, penetration or uni- 

 formity. In other words — even with increased spread 

 of shot — the velocity and penetration and uniformity re- 

 main substantially the same as in shells loaded in the 

 regular way. Winchester "Brush" shells are furnished in 

 either "Leader" or "Repeater" brands and with prac- 

 tically all desirable combinations of powder and shot, 

 the prices being the same as for shells regularly loaded. 

 For sale by all dealers. Winchester shells were the only 

 shells awarded a grand prize at St. Louis. 



SUCCESS IN BOAT BUILDING. 



The Brooks Boat Mfg. Co., of Bay City, Mich., write 

 us that they have recently established agencies in the 

 Argentine Republic, S. A. ; Australia, and London, Eng., 

 and that all of these branches are reporting fine business. 

 This concern is one of the largest boat manufacturers 

 in the country, and they have increased their line to such 

 an extent that it now includes 62 different designs and 

 sizes of pleasure craft. 



To any one sending them 25 cents they will send a 

 100-page catalogue containing valuable information for 

 the amateur yachtsman, showing several working il- 

 lustrations of each boat, and a full set for one boat. 

 They also have a full line of knock-down boats, as well 

 as completed boats, for sale. 



THE NEW IDEAL BULLET. 



The new Ideal bullet No. 308284 with metal gas check, 

 recently brought out by the Ideal Mfg. Co., New Haven, 

 Conn., for use in the .30-. 40 Krag rifle, has proved to 

 be such a success that the users of the various sporting 

 rifles have been demanding similar bullets for their arms. 



The Ideal Co. inform us they are now prepared to 

 furnish moulds, tools and gas checks for the following: 

 .30-.30 Winchester, Marlin and Savage, .303 Savage, .32 

 Winchester Special, .32 Marlin high power, .32-.40 high 

 power and .38-55 high power rifles. Illustrations of these 

 bullets show that the Ideal Mfg. Co. have gone a step 

 further with these than they did with those for military 

 use, for they can be made with hard or soft point. To 

 make both bullets, two moulds will be required, one for 

 the complete bullet and one for the soft tip. The body 

 of the bullet should be cast from hard alloy and the tip 

 from pure lead. The proper charge of powder for all of 

 the .30- 30's and .303 Savage is 22 grs. weight of Laflin 

 & Rand Lightning, and for all of the others, .32-.40, .32 

 special and -38-.5S the charge shoud be 24 to 25 grs. 

 of the same powder. 



MOUNTED SPECIMENS AT THE PORTLAND EXPO- 

 SITION. 



Those who visited the great Exposition at Portland dur- 

 ing the past summer were no doubt much interested _ in 

 the mammoth collection of birds and animals representing 

 the fauna of the State of Oregon. It will interest our 

 readers to know that these specimens were mounted by the 

 Northwestern School of Taxidermy, of Omaha, Nebraska. 

 At the close of the Exposition this collection received the 

 First Grand Prize and nine gold medals, which was prac- 

 tically everything that was offered on Taxidermy work. 



THE SAVAGE FEATHERWEIGHT RIFLE. 



The Savage Arms Company, of Utica, N. Y., are now in a position to make delivery of their rifle known as 

 the Featherweight. It is made in .25-.3S, .30-.30 and .303 calibers. This rifle was put on the market to meet the 

 demands of sportsmen who desire a light weight rifle especially adapted for deer shooting. 



It has a 20-inch Vound barrel, beautifully tapered and made from the Savage "Hi-Pressure" steel. The stock 

 is shotgun style, fitted with rubber butt plate. The metal bead front sight brazed on the barrel^ is of special design. 

 The Savage Micrometer Sight, which can be adjusted in any direction to one-thousandth of an inch, forms the rear 

 sight. This makes an excellent combination. 



This little- rifle for all practical ranges will be found to shoot just as quickly and accurately as the longer 

 length. As with all Savage rifles, it is an excellently balanced gun. Indications point that it is going to be one 

 of the most popular guns on the market.
