The Parker Gun. 

 PARKER BROTHERS, 



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 woild, 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. Dur- 

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

 number used, than with any other gim. 



Hundreds of Prizes 



have been won with AMERICAN WOOD 

 POWDER, loaded in the following manner. 

 No. 1 represents the exact proportion ot a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded before the wads have been rammed 

 down. No matter what kind ot wads are used, the same 

 should bo tough and hard, and the same t/iickuess of wad- 

 ding sliould be used as shown in these Cuts. 



In many Parker, Colt and other guns, wads of one or two 

 Sizes larger than boro of shell must be used, as the inner 

 diameter of the barrels of such guns Is from one-half to 

 two calibre larger than that of paper shells, preventing the 

 necessary confinementand causing half of the charge being 

 thrown out unburnt. This i.^ the secret of failures to get 

 the desired penetration with AMERICAN 



In the absence of stronger primers than used for American 

 Shells, wo 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 ramiueii. down about three-eighths of an 

 inch with two or three hard blows of a mal let or hamm'er 

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

 pressed into a solid mass. Thesliotis then put on in the 

 ordinary way and shells crimped down tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger than gauge. 



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

 powder 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. Full Nickle Plated, Patented Ferrules, allowing the wood to be used the full 

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

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

 varnished and polished. This makes a handsome finish, and is less liable to be seen by the waryflsh 

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

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

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

 has an extra winding between 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," ana none 

 genuine unless so stamped. Length, lOUft; weight, 9J^ to lOozs. All the parts are interchangeable, and 

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

 made rod in the United States, and we wiU 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 «5.35; bass tips, $1.00; 

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