MAKE THE FEATHERS FLY WITHOUT KILI.TNK THE BIRU-SOitlETHINU MUCH 



NEEDED. 



The ISohemian Glass Works having made a specialty of the manufacture of Glass Balls for Trap Shoot- 

 ing ror the past, year, and having facilities for manufacturing cheaper and better than other establishments, 

 nave secured the service of that well-known Sportsman, 



to take entire charge of the production of his new patent Feather Filled Ball, which we hold the exclusive 

 right to make an i sell. 



In offering this new ball to the public it will require very Utile introduction, as in no instance where it 

 ha? been exhibited has it failed to take the place of all others, and is to-day the only perfect substitute for 

 a bird in uae. 



The following is from the New York Herald, Sept. 1 : 

 This British Visitors Recreating at But Park— A Tkial at Glass Ball Shootino.— The viwttDg 

 riflemen, accoMumuni by .bulge Gildersleeve, Col. .John Bodine and Mr. J,. M. Ballard, all of the American 

 leamAiitflB, arrived at the lark a little before eleven o'clock, and practice shooting was at once com- 

 m°.neeu the shooting at glass balls spiung from a steel trap, insread of live pigeons a* in Europe, was a 

 novelty tor the Englishmen. Mr. Ira Paine, who has invented the "feather balls," fnrrii-hed them for the 

 occasion ai toJudge,SUderaleeye and: his friends. Tula rtyle of halls gave during the after- 



noon such satisfaction that after the shooting was over the West Side Gun Club held a special meeting to 

 adopt them, ordering 1,000 of them forthwith. e

A VICTORIOUS INVENTION 



The Eagle Claw. 



An ingenious device for the purpose of catching all kinds of 

 Animals, Fish and Game. 



The easy method of setting the Eagle Claw, combined with 

 the simplicity of removing the victim, are among its peculiar 

 advantages. 



It is immaterial how to place it when set. Tt may he buried 

 flat in the ground, suspended from the limb of a tree, or, when 

 occasion requires, covered with grass, leaves or other light 

 material without, in any way impairing its certain operation. 



It is adapted for bait of any description, and, when, set, no 

 Animal, Fish or Bird that touches the bait, can possibly escape. 

 It does not mangle or injure its victims in the slighest, degree, 

 nor need they be handled to free them from the trap. 



PRICE LIST: 

 No. 1— For fishing and all kinds of small game and animals, 



sent by mall 35 cents. 



No. 2— For catching Mink, Muskrats, Kaccoons, large Game, 



Fish, &c 75 cents.
