NEEDED. 



The Bohemian Glaus Works having made a specialty of the manufacture of Gloss Balls for Trap Shoot-

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

 right to make and sell.

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

 a bird in use. 



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

 The British Visitors Recreating at Elm Park— A Trial at Glass Ball Shooting.— The visiting 

 riflemen, accompanied by Judge Gilders'.eeve, Col. John Bodine and Mr. L. M. Ballard, all of the American 

 Team of 1875, arrived at the Park a little before eleven o'clock, and practice shooting was at. once com- 

 menced. The shooting at glass balls sprung from, a steel trap, instead of live pigeons as in Europe, was a 

 novelty for the Englishmen. Mr. Ira Paine, who has invented the " feather balls," furnished them for the 

 occasion as a compliment to Judge Gilderaleeve and his friends. This style of balls 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. 



Every ball is weighed and examined, then packed with the greatest care, in barrels of 300 or boxes of 

 500. Send for price list. We Intend offering special inducements to the trade.

MERWIN'S CHAMPION BALL TRAP. 



We call the attention of the fraternity 

 to the above trap, claiming to be the ne 

 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 seeing the direction in which the 

 trap is set. 



The spring, as the cot will show, is 

 made of a steel rod or wire, bent spirally 

 at the point of attachment, thus receiving 

 the concussion its entire length, and pre- 

 venting breakage.
