CARL DITTMAR, Nefonset, Mass. 



New Yokk, July 10, 187T. 

 Editor Forest and Stream and Rod and Gun : 



Please say, for the information of some of my 

 friends who may be misled by current statements, 

 that I am Btill on the same powder for all out-door 

 shooting, which I have used for several years past, 

 never having risked the use of the nitrated powders 

 except when shooting in a confined Bpace in-doora, 

 when the smoke from any regular powder would 

 produce a smell rather offensive to some people, and 

 cans e somewhat greater obstruction to vision.
