At the Second International Clay-Pigeon Tournament, held at New Orleans, La., Feb. 11 

 to 16, 188.5, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, o^n 

 to all the world, was won by B. Tiepel with a Parker gun. Among the contestants shooting 

 other guns were such champions as Carver, Bogardus, Cody, Stubbs, Erb, and others. Dar- 

 ing the entire tournament more prizes were won with Parker guns, in proportion to the 

 number used, than with any other gun. 



Hundreds of Prizes 



have been won with AMERICAN WOOD 

 POWDER, loaded in the following manner. 

 No. 1 represents th» exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded before the wads have boon rammed — — —rs-^ 



down. No matter what kind o£ wads are u.sed, the same iHp- ^ 

 should be tough and hard, aud tJio same thickneas of wad- 

 ding should be used as shown in Uio.so Cuts. 



In many Parker, Colt and other guns, wad.s of one or two 

 Sizes larger than Iwre of shell must be used, as the Inner 

 diameter of the barrels of such guns is from ouo-half to 

 two calibre larger than thatoE paper shells, preventing the 

 noces.sary coniinementand causing half of the chlarge being 

 thrown out unburnt. This is tlie secret of failures to get 

 tho desired penetration with AMEKICAN

No. 1. 



lu the absence Of stronger primers than used for Americau 

 Shells, we advise to put a little black powder in the bottom 

 of the shell, which will generate about' the same initial heat 

 as a stronger primer and help burning the whole charge of 

 Wood Powder, even when not confined as thoroughly as 

 W. P. must be, to give best possible results when used pure. 



No. 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge. The 

 wads have been nitnmeti down about three-eighths of an 

 inch with two or three hard blows of a mallet or hammer 

 and a tight fitting ramming-stick, until the Wood Powder is 

 pressed into a solid mass. The shot is then put on in tho 

 ordinary way and shells crimped down tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger thau gauge. 



Up to one dram more Wood Powder may be used than black 

 IXi wder with comfort, and increased penetration and pattern.

CRUTTENDEN FLY ROD. 



It has Nickle Plated Patented Solid Reel Plate which prevents Reel getting fast by swelling of wood^ 

 f rod should get wet. FuU Mckle Plated, Patented Ferrules, allowing the wood to be used the pm 

 size, thus preventing rod breaking where wood and ferrules join. Metal Tennons which prevent joints 

 getting stuck togethei". The entire rod is made from the best selected lancewood, left natural color, 

 varnished and pohshed. This makes a handsome finish, and is less liable to be seen by the wary fish 

 than a dark rod. The butt is wound with cane and sUk in an artistic manner, which not only gives it 

 the appearance, but also the feeling of the high-priced rods. The complete rod has a look of beautjs 

 which is a joy to every fisherman's heart while using it. It is well and neatly ringed throughout, and 

 has an extra winding "bet ween each ring. There has been so many rods made of an inferior quality 

 that resemble this, that all from this date will have stamped on reel plate "W. H. Cruttenden," and none 

 genuine unless so stamped. Length, lOi^ft; weight. 9]4 to lOozs. All the parts are interchangeable, and 

 if, by accident, any part should get broken, can send duplicate without rod being returned. The best 

 made rod in the United States, and we will guarantee it in every way. With short tip it makes an excel- 

 lent bass rod. Sent to any part of U. S. in case, 1 bass, 1 trout tip, prepaid, for $5.85; bass tips, $1.00; 

 trout tips, $1.25. General aeent for Card's Rotating Trap. Guns, Pistols and Fishhig Tackle . Gunmak-
