THE 



New Dittmar Powder. 



THE CHAMPION POWDER OF THE WORLD 

 For all off-hand bhooting at short and long ranges. 

 Unsurpassed for Cleanliness. Pleasant to shoot on 

 account, of little recoil and report. Desirable for 

 hunting on account of little or no smoke. Un- 

 equalled for rapid firing, as it does not foul and heat 

 up the barrel as black powder. Great accuracy, 

 penetration and good pattern. Safer than black 

 powder. Address 



CARL DITTMAR, Nepoxset, Mass. 



New York, 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 still on the same powder for all out-door 

 shooting, which I have used for Beveral years past, 

 never having risked the use of tbe nitrated powders 

 except when shooting in a confined space in-doors, 

 ■when the smoke from any regular powder would 

 produce a smell rather offensive to some people, and 

 cause somewhat greater obstruction to vision.
