HUBER & MERWIN'S CHAMPION BALL TRAP. 



We call the attention of the fraternity 

 to the above trap, claiming to be the ne 

 ■tra. It combines compactness 

 with durability, and is arrauged, by a 

 swivel on the bed-plate, to throw a ball 

 In any direction or at anv elevation un- 

 known to the shooter, a screen prevent- 

 ing his seeing the dire-tion in which ihe 

 trap 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 receis ing 

 the concussion its entire length, and pre- 

 venting breakage. 



Thia certifies tliar I nave used every trap in mai 

 for durability and perfection of its operation, supei 

 the " Champion " to sporting clubs and my friends.
