THE 



New Bittmar Powder. 



THE CHAMPION POWDER OF THE WORLD 

 For off-hand shooting at short and long ranges. 

 Unsurpassed for Cleanliness. Plea-ant to shoot on 

 account of little recoil and report. Desirable tor 

 limiting on account of little or no smoke. Un- 

 equalled for rapid firing, as it does not foul and heat 

 up the barrel as black powder. Great accuracy, 

 penetration and good pattern. Safer than black 

 powder. Address

THE 



"Boston Shooting Suit" 



Is manufacturedlonly by 



G. W. SIMMONS & SCXJNT 



Flexible, Waterproof, Tan-Color, Duck. 



Each artide-=-coat, trousers, vest and hat^fiave 

 /he name and manufacturer's address stamped upon 

 it, and no suit is genuine without it bears this im- 

 print. 



The suit can be sent, securely packed, by mail to 

 any part of the United States or Canada on re- 

 ceipt of i 1.25 above the price of the suit. 



We make no discount except to the trade. We 

 make bu.t one quality, and that is the vert best. 

 The price of the suit complete is $13. 



The suit consists of coat, trousers, vest and choice 

 of either cap with havelock, or hat. 



The materiel is of the best quality of duck, water- 

 proofed by a patent process. The color is that 

 known as "dead grass shade." 



The seams and pocket corners are copper riveted 

 and nothing is neglected to make the whole suit 

 complete in every way. 



This Is what one of our best sportsmen says of it, 

 writing from camp: "Miserable, drenching rain, 

 pouring down in a perfect deluge, as if a second 

 flood had come upon the earth, two portages to 

 cross, and a swamp between them ; that was the 

 prospect before we reached our camping ground. 

 Such a swamp, too; almost impassable, for where 

 the ground was firm was an almost impenetrable 

 thicket of thorns and what not, that looked as if it 

 would tear you to pieces. Well, we got to our camp, 

 and I must confess I was agreeably surprised on my 

 arrival. Although I had been. nearly eight hours 

 under incessant rain, laboring and striving along 

 under the adverse circumstances above mentioned, 

 yet I found myself comparatively dry, and my 

 clothes without a tear. For the benefit of our 

 brother sportsmen, let me advise one of Messrs. 

 Simmons' (of Boston, Mass.,) Waterproof Suits. 

 Oh ! what a relief it was to find one's tobacco was 

 dry, and that one could light a pipe ; that you could 

 laugh at your miserable friend, who stood shivering 

 and shaking as if he had the palsy ; and then, next 

 morning, oh! what fun It was to see hioi mending 

 his clothes, while I had not a tear to complain of. 

 Ventilation, also, that great bugbear of waterproof 

 suits, is legislated for in the most ingenious manner. 

 No sportsman should fail to supply himself with a 

 suit which is at once cheap, practical, and will last 

 an almost indefinite time." 



Out New Overcoat— The 

 " Plevna," 



Water-j foot, Mildew-proof and Moth-proof, is at- 

 tracting great attention. It is made and sold only 

 at Oakh^ 11, Boston. The price is S 13.
