' Sir— It is a pleasure for me to inform you of my 

 high appreciation of the 10-lb. Greener breech-load- 

 er purchased of you last winter. I consider choke- 

 boring, if skillfully done, as the greatest improve- 

 ment in fowling-pieces since the introduction of the 

 percussion cap. It gives the maker complete con- 

 trol of the pattern, and greatly increases penetra- 

 tion. To prove this, I will give you the performances 

 of this gun. The 32-inch ID-gauge barrels, charged 

 with &% drachms of powder and \% oz. No. 6 Eng- 

 lish chilled shot, give patterns ranging from 385 to 

 330 pellets in 3i'-inch circle at 40 yards. The same 

 charge of powder and 1*4 oz. No. 4 American shot 

 gives 160 to 175 pattern, with penetration which kills 

 ducks at 50 to 7 yards like a stroke of lightning. It 

 is a characteristic of the choke-bore to show its 

 greatest superiority in the largo sized shot. What I 

 am about to say will perhaps surprise you as much 

 as the performance surprised me. On trial of the 

 12-gauge 28-inch modified choke-bore barrels, with 

 3% drachms of powder and \% oz. of shot, I got 

 about the same pattern and spread of shot at 25 

 yards as with the full choke lo-gauge barrels at 40 

 yards, with tremendous penetration. This is just the 

 performance required of a gun for thick cover, in 

 which you generally find ruffed grouse, woodcock 

 and quail, these birds being killed, with few excep- 

 tions, at from 15 to 25 yards. 



COL. JOHN BODINE. 



Dear Sir— The guns arrived all right. We think 

 these last guns you have sent us will place tne 

 Greener guns ahead of any other in this country, as 

 guns of other makers don't compare in shooting 

 qualities with them. We unhesitatingly recommend 

 the Greener as far superior to any gun of foreign or 

 domestic manufacture that we have seen. We say 

 this after seeing aud using guns of all the most cele- 

 brated makers. CARLISLE, JONES & CO.

 * The Greener gun presented by Mr. Squires for the 

 best pointer, and awarded to me, is a close, clean, 

 hard hitter, killing its game at very long distances. 

 It is the second Greener that I have owned and they 

 cannot be beaten. * u win with them at the trap 

 or in th e field. S. B. D1LLET.

Sir— 1 have a pair or \\ . vV. Jreener s oreech- 

 loaders (bought of H. C. Squires, of New York), 

 modified choke-bore. I have had au opportunity to 

 test these weapons on birds heavily feathered, and 

 where great penetration was essential to succegs. I 

 have repeatedly made long shots, always killing the 

 game clean. At a target both guns made a very 

 even distribution of the shot, with extreme penetra- 

 tion - w . C. FIELD. 



Sir— The Greener breech-loader I purchased of 

 you is very fine indeed, and gives great satisfaction.

MAKE THE FEATHERS FLY WITHOUT KILLING THE BIRD— SOMETHING MUCH 



NEEDED. 



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

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

 have secured the service of that well-knowu Sportsman, 



114 jl* ^aist: 



j & 



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

 right to make and sell. 



Iu offering this, new ball to the public it will require very little Introduction, as in no instance where it 

 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 Tork Herald, Sept. 1 : 

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

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

 Team of 1S75, 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, inst ad of live pigeons as in Europe, was a 

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

 occasion as a compliment to Judge Gildersleeve and his friends. This fetyle 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. Sind for price list. We intend offering special inducements to the trade.

HUBER & MERWIN'S CHAMPION BALL TRAP. 



We call the attentisn 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 

 iu any direction or at any elevation un- 

 known to the shooter, a screen prevent- 

 ing his seeing the dire tion in which the 

 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 receiving 

 the concussion its entire length, and pre- 



g|. venting breakage.
