THE 



CHOKE-BORE 



MAT C H. 



W. W. GREENER begs to Inform his numerous 

 patrons in America that his gun has again come off 

 victorious at the great match of Choke-Bores vs. 

 Cylinder Bores, at the London Gnn Club, on May 23, 

 beating seventeen of the best shots in Great Britain 

 who used guns by the best London makers, viz. : 

 Four made by Grant, three by Pnrdy, three by 

 Dougal, one by Lancaster, Boss and others. 



[See London Field, May 26, Editorial Remarks.] 



"Mr. Cholmondley Pennell, the winner of Mr. 

 Purdey's massive fifty guinea cud., weighing over 91 

 ozs., for the highest score, shot wonderfully well, 

 killing all his birds at 30 yards with the first barrel. 

 Thegan he used was a full choke, by Greener, of 

 Birmingham. The result of the trial served to show 

 the superiority of the choke at the long range, Mr/ 

 0. Pennell cutting down his birds in a marvellous 

 way with his heavy Greener."

CHAMPION FILLED GLASS BALL.

 MUCH NEEDED. 



THE BIRD-SOMETHING 



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 services of that well-known Sportsman, IRA A. PAINE, to take entire charge of the 

 production of his new patent Feather Filled Ball, which we hold the exclusive right to make and sell. 



We can give the sportsmen of America no better proof of the superiority of these balls than that W. 

 & C. Scott & Sons, after examining every ball in the market, have ordered 2,000 to be sent to England. In 

 no instance where'lt has been exhibited has it failed to take the place of all others. 



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

 Send for price list. Special Inducements to the trade.

ilJfS 1?ISES HUBER TRAPS, Decl31m 



Bogardus' Patent Rough Glass Balls 

 and Glass Ball Traps. 



These Traps are the only ones that give satisfaction, as they are simple of con- 

 struction, easily set, and not liable to get out of order, and they throw the ball In 

 a manner that more closely resembles the flight of a bird than any other trap in 

 the market. The Patent Rough Glass Balls are made of uniform weight and 

 thickness, and have a corrugated surface that strengthens the ball for shipment 

 to any part of the country, prevents the glancing of shot, and thereby insures the 

 breaking of the ball when hit. 



CAPTAIN BOGARDUS was the first to introduce the ROUGH BALL, and at a 

 price far below the smooth ball at that time. 



Balls and Trap can be ordered through* all Gun Dealers. Liberal discount to 

 the Trade. 

 - -itif ROVED TRAP (warranted), which will throw a ball in any direction from the shooter at 

 the option of the pnller, is now ready for the market. Price 88.

NEW YORK : 

 "FOREST and STREAM" PUBLISHING COMPANY. 



The T>ook is a complete manual for sportsmen : 



It gives every sportsmanlike method for captur- 

 ing every known game animal, bird and ash ,n 

 North America. 



It designates the proper charges for guns for each 

 kind of game, the various kinds of decovs and blinds, 

 and baits and tackle for the ash. 



It gives over 4,000 localities where game and fish 

 may be found, specifies the game found iu each 

 locality, the hotel accommodation, and the besL 

 route to get there. (The preparation of this Director* 

 was in itself a work of great magnitude ) 



It gives the scit-ntillc name and specula character- 

 istics of each species it describes, with the habitat 

 and breeding season of each— a most valuable con- 

 tribution to science. 



It describes 297 varieties of edible fish alone, that 

 maybe taken with the hook; 80 varieties of ducks ; 

 60 varieties of snipe or waders, and the different 

 methods of shooting each. 



Its instructions for capturing large game are very 

 minute, aud the chapters on woodcraft, outrfltting 

 and camping have been pronounced by "El Cazador," 

 Of Los Angeles, California, to be simply complete. 



Every kind of dog used for eport is designated, 

 and hla points for bench judgments fully given. 

 The chapters relating to selection, breeding, reariDg, 

 breaking, care and diseases, comprise a seventh 

 part of the volume. There are 71 prescriptions and 

 recipes given under the revision o' the best modern 

 canine therapeutists. 



It Is In Itself the most concise, accurate, instruc- 

 tive, sensible and comprehensive work ever written 

 upon the dog and his diseases. Any physician cau 

 administer the prescrlntioua wiih perfect confidence 

 in their safety and efficacy. 



It contains very useful recipea and remedies for 

 wounds, bites, poisons, illness, and emergencies of 

 all kinds; for cleaning, repairing, and preserving 

 every Implement used for sport; for selection and 

 use of every kind of boat employed by sportsmen; 

 a reference list of several hundred books in request 

 by sportsmen, and a directory where to buy outfitting 

 goods. 



It instructs In taxidermy, and tells how to preserve 

 and mount specimens of animals, birds and fish.
