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

 a bird in use. 



The following Is from the New Tork Herald, Sept. 1 : 

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

 menced. The shooting at gla«s 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 ball*," furnished them for the 

 occasion as a compliment to Judge Gildersleeve and his friends. This ttvle of ballB gave duriug the after- 

 noon such satisfactien that after the sho»ttng was over the West Side Gnu Club held a special meeting to 

 adopt them, ordering l,00u of them f rthwith. 



Every ball is weighed and examined, then packed with the greatest care, in barrels of 380 or boxes of 

 500. S.nd for price list. We intend offer. ng special inducements to the trade.

HUBER & MERWIN'S CHAMPION BALL TRAP. 



We call the attention of the fraternity 

 to the above trap, claiming to be the n* 

 plus ultra- 11 combines compactness 

 w'tfc durability, and is arranged, by a 

 swfvsi on the bed-plate, to throw a ball 

 in any direction or a' any elevation un- 

 known to the shooter, a screen prevent- 

 ing his seeing the diretlon 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 coBcus8ion its entire length, and pre- 

 venting breakage.
