A complete manual for the management of a canoe. The author begins at the very

 study of these. The book is complete and concise— no useless duffle between its covers. The 

 eubjects treated are tbe choice of a canoe, paddhng, sailing, care of thf, canoe, recipes and 

 rules. _ The text is further elucidated by numerous practical drawings, and the beauty of the 

 book is enhanced by the many ornamental vignettes. Pages 168; uniform with "Canoe 

 Buildmg." Price, postpaid, $1.00.

At the Second International Clay-Pigeon Tournament, held at New Orleans, La., Fefe. 1?.^ 

 to 16, 188.5, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, ojjeutf 

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

 other guns were such champions as Carver, Bogai-dus, Cody, Stubbs, Erb, and others. Dur- 

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

 number used, than with any other gun.

JXUnCtlfGClS OX Jr nZ©S POWBKB, loaded in the following manner. 

 No. 1 repi-esents tho exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded before tlio wads have been- rammed 

 clown. No matter wh-it kind of wads arc used, tho same 

 should be lough and hard, and tin- 1 me t/iicknusit ol wad- 

 ding should be used as shown In tbi --o Cuts. 



Iu ma»ny Parker, Colt and other guna, wad.s of one or two 

 Sizes larger than bore of shell mu'^l be used, as tbe Inner 

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

 two calibre larger than that of paper shells, preventing tlio 

 necessary confinementand causing half of the charge being 

 thrown out uutaurnt. This Is tlie secrei of failures to get 

 tho desired penetration With AMLIllCAN 



In the absence of stronger primers than used for American 

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

 of tho 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 (!onfiiu)d as thoroughly as 

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



No, 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge. Tho 

 wads have been r<itnme>t down about three-eighths of air 

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

 and a tight fitting ramming-sticli. until the Wood Powder i« 

 pressed Into a solid mass. Theeliotis then put on iu tlu! 

 ordinary way and .siiells crimped down tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger than gauge. 

 Up to one dram more U'oodPowdcir may be used than black 

 ^**' 1- powder with comfort, and increased iienetratiou and ijaltern. -^^
