 Shooting Tournament, London, England, 1885, W. W. Greener's guns head the list in the average of scored 

 birds, as the following extract from the "Field," July 11, 1885, shows:

Impervious to Wind and Water. Soft and Pliable as tlie Finest Kid Glove. 



Genuine Russian skins (unlike sheep skins) are not affected by water. Being very pliable they fit close to the person, and offer the most complete 

 protection from the cold and penetrating winds of winter. Our best quality jackets will last a lifetime, it bemg- almost mipossibie to wear ono 

 out, thus making it the cheapest winter garment one oan secure. They are so light M'eight and take up so little r(3om tliat one can be worn between the 

 vest and undercoat, thus rendering a heavy overcoat entirely unnecessary even in the coldest weather. For driving, horseback riding, skating, sleigh- 

 ing and hxmting in cold climates they are extensively used. For Duck and Coot SUooting they are indispeiisable. ^ ^ ., , , . . ,
