i'he Bohemian Glass Works having made a specialty of the manufacture of Glass Balls for Trap Shoot-

 production of bis new natent Feather Filled Ball, which we hold the exclusive riirhr to make and sell. 



While other balls are a drug in the market, over 150,000 of the Paine Feather-Filled Balls have been 

 sold in the last month. This is the only ball made to a scale ; every one alike. Out of One Million 

 already sold, not one complains. No Faucy Price, but a fair profit.

Bogardus' Patent Rough Glass Balls 

 and Glass Ball Traps. 



These Traps are the only ones that give satisfaction, as 

 they are simple of construction, 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, 

 _ mid 1 hereby insures the breaking of the bail when hit. 



CAPTAIN BOGARDUS was the first to introduce the 

 ROUGH BALL, aud at a price far below the smooth ball 

 at that time. 



Balls and Trap can he ordered through all Gun Deal- 

 ers. Liberal discount to the Trade. 

 M PROVED TRAP (warranted), which will throw a ball in any direction from the shooter at 

 of the puller, is now ready for the market. Trice 88.
