HUBER & MERWIN'S CHAMPION BALL TRAP. 



We call the attention of the fraternity 

 to the above trap, claiming to be the m 

 plus ultra. It combines compactness 

 with durability, and is arranged, by a 

 swivel on the bed-plate, to throw a ball 

 in any direction or at any elevation un- 

 known to the shooter, a screen prevent- 

 ing his seeiug the direction in which the 

 trail is set. 



The spring, as the cut will show, is 

 made of a steel rod or wire, bent spirally 

 at the point of attachment, thus I 

 the concussion its entire length, and pre- 

 ..-■, venting breakage.
