novel and i racticablo ; adapted to all out-of-door 



purposes where lawn, beach, hunters and camp 



tents are used ; quick folding ; all sides strongly 



fortified ; enables them to stand against wind 



and rain. Rev. F. B. Savage, of Albany, K. Y., 



who camps out in Florida in winter, and the 



Adirondacks in summer, writes this about the 



tents : 



Albany, July 31, 1877. 



Sirs— I have just returned from a three-weeks' 

 camping expedition in the Adirondacks, and have 

 had the three tents bought of you put to the severest 

 ttsts of exposure both as to wind and storm, and I 

 do must unhesitatingly say they are the most com- 

 plete thing of the kind I ever used. 



1st. They are easily put up or taken down. 



2d. They are perfectly waterproof. 



3d. They are a good height and all the room is 

 available. 



Our party asked for no better. They were admired 

 by all who saw them, and one party insisted on buy- 

 ing one of ours that was to spare. Rev. Dr. Duryea, 

 of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Irwin, of Troy, both 

 indorse what I say about your tent. With kind re- 

 gards, yours truly,- F. B. Savage.

A recent notice in the Fobest and Stream 

 from a correspondent, says : 



Whenever a sportsman, or even one who does not 

 claim the disiinctlou. finds a really good and useful 

 article, it Is no more than fair that he should let 

 others have the benefit of his Knowledge. For this 

 reason we would call attention to the Tan-color, d 

 Leather Shooting or Fishing fruits, made by G. W • 

 SIMMONS & fcON, of Boston, Ma-s., the manufac- 

 turers of the famous " Boston Shooting Suit." 



I saw these goods advertised in your paper, and 

 wrote to the parties for samples. I found the ma- 

 terial as soft and pliable as a piece of kid. I tested 

 it by soaking in water twelve hours, and found It as 

 nearly waterproof as one could desire, and after dry- 

 ing was h ippily surprised to find it had not stiffened 

 in the least. I have since then received a full suit- 

 coat, vest and breeches-ordered by letter tatas 

 measure taken by myself. 



The goods are splendidly made, well lined with 

 flannel; In fact I do not see how they can be im- 

 proved. 



My friends are unanimous in their verdict tha' G. 

 W. aimmona Ss Son's leather goods cannot be ex- 

 celled in qua:ity or beaten in price.

Hart's Sportsman's Favorite Metallic Shells. 

 FOR BREECH-LOADING SHOT GUNS. 



These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from inside. 

 Head solid and much thicker than any Shell nowmade, giving a Bolld scat for cone »r imvil, which prevents 

 it from driving through or springing away, thereby causing miss-fires. '! he Cone is made of nickel, and fas- 

 tened solid in its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, like movable anvil made from steel. T lie Nickel 

 Cone also prevents miss-Qre when a cap has been left on shell fur a few days, which is liable to occur either 

 in steel nr iron. These Shells are finely finished, and made a'.y length ordered, from •_>; to : J >v inches. 



Shells and Loa-iers and Descriptive Price-lists can be obtained from all the leading Sportsmen's Houses 

 throughout the country. GfSO. E. BART d- CO., Scwark, N. J. 



FROM CAPTAIN BOQARDUS, CHAMPION WING-SHOT OF AMERICA. 

 Messrs. George E. Hart & Co.— Gentleman : The fifty Shells I received from .yon lo-day suit me better 

 than anyl have ever used. They are stronger and better in every respect, and I shall use them in all my 

 shooting hereafter. Tours truly, A. H. BOGARDUS.
