BOSTON, MASS. 



THE BEST IN USE. 



Each article — coat, trowsers, vest and hat — 

 have the name and manufacturer's address 

 stamped upon it, and no suit is genuine without 

 it hears this imprint. 



The suit can be sent, securely packed, by mail 

 to any part of the United States or Canada on 

 receipt of $1.25 above the price of the suit. 



We make no discount except to the trade. We 

 make but one quality, and that is the teet 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 material is of the best quality of duck, 

 waterproofed by a patent process. The color is 

 that known as "dead grass shade." 



The seams and pocket corners are riveted, and 

 nothing is neglected to make the whole suit com- 

 plete in every way. 



OUR PATENT DECOYS 



have entirely superseded tho old-fashioned cum- 

 bersome, wooden decoys. The birds are hollow, 

 and six of them occupy about the space of one

 dozen; red breast plover, $3.75 per dozen;

THE HUNTER'S TENT 



is made of tan-colored duck; light, easily trans- 

 ported Size, 7 ft. by 8 ft. Price, $10 complete, 

 made on the umbrella principle, folding into a 

 neat roll 3 feet long. 



In the judges' report at Philadelphia they were 

 cemmended for excellence in every part. Very 

 novel and practicable ; 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. P. B. Savage, of Albany, N. Y., 

 who camps out in Florida in winter, and the 

 Adirondacks in summer, writeB 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 

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

 do most 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 Poekst and Stbeam, 

 from a correspondent, says : 



Whenever a sportsman, or even one who does not 

 claim the distinction, finds a really good and useful 

 article, it is no more than fan - that he should let 

 others have the benefit of his knowledge. For this 

 reason we would call attention to the Tan-colored 

 Leather Shooting or Fishing knits, made by G. W. 

 SIUMONS & SON, of Boston, Ma?s., the manufac- 

 turers of the f amou8 " Boston Shooting Suit." 



I saw these goods advertised in your paper, and 

 wrote to the parties for sampt s. I found the ma- 

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

 it by soaking in w ater twelve hours, aud found it as 

 nearly waterproof as one could desire, and after dry- 

 ing was happily 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 froai 

 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 that G. 

 W. Simmons * Son's leather goods cannot be ex- 

 celled in quality 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 now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevent* 

 it from driving through or springing away, thereby causing miss-fire's. The Cone is made of nickel, and fas- 

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

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

 in steel or iron. These Shells are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2><f to ■?,% inches. 



Shells and Loaders and Descriptive Price-Lists can be obtained from all the leading Sportsmen's Houses 

 throughout the country. GEO. E. BART <£• CO., Newark, If. J. 



FROM CAPTAIN BOGARDUS r CHAMPION WING-SOOT OF AMERICA. 

 Messrs. George E. Hart & Co.— Gentlemen : The fifty Shells I received from yon to-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. 



A VICTORIOUS INVENTION 



The Eagle Claw . 



An ingenious device for the purpose of catching all kinds ol 

 Animals, Fish and Game. 



The easy method of setting the Eagle Claw, combined with 

 the simplicity of removing the victim, are among its peculiar 



It is immaterial how to place it when set. It may be burled 

 flat in the ground, suspended from the limb of a tree, or, when 

 occasion requires, covered with grass, leaves or other light 

 material without in any way impairing its certain operation. 



It is adapted for bait of any description, and, when set, no 

 Animal. Fish or Bird that touches the bait can possibly escape. 

 It does not mangle or injure its victims in the slightest 

 degree, nor need they be handled to free them from the trap.

Address, 



It haB already made its mark in Great Britain 

 The self-cocking is effected by the raining of the 

 breech ends of the barrels for loading, and works 

 smoothly and without requiring much force to open 

 the gun and cock the locks. 'J here Is a safety bolt 

 at the side which answers for half cock. The 

 mechanism of this notion is exceedingly strong 

 and simple, and is better suited for hard work than 

 any other gun in use.
