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

 to ]6, 188.5, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, opeU' 

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

 other giin.s were snch champions as Caryer, 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 vvith any other gun. 



Hundreds of Prizes 



have been won with AMERICAN. WOOI> 

 POWDER, loaded in the following manner. 

 No. 1 represcnt.g the exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly waaded bt-tore the wnds liave been ramniod 

 down. No matter wliat kind of wads are used, tJie same 

 should bo tough and hard, and the H.H.mo thickness of Wiul- 

 Uing should be used as shown la these Cuts. 



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

 Sizes larger than bore of shell must be used, as the in nor 

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

 two calibre larger than that of paper shells, prevonling the 

 necessary contiuomentand causing hall of tho charge tieiug 

 thrown out uuburnt. This is the secre-i of failures to get 

 tho desired penetration with .AMERICAN 



No. 1. 



In the tobsencoof stronger primers than used for Anxn-ioan 

 Shells, We advise to put a little black powder in ilip, bDtiom 

 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 liun^. 



No. 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge. Tho 

 wads have been I 'lnnne't. down about three-eightha ot an 

 inch wllh two or three hard blows ot a mallet or hamnifu- 

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

 pressed Into a solid mass. Theshotis then put on in the 

 ordinary way and ehella crimped down tightly. For brass 

 sheila use wads two sizes larger than gauge. 



Uj) to one d ram more Wood Powder may be used than black 

 powder with comfort, and increased penetration and pattern.
