fully finished and engraved, and furnished with Krupp 
steel barrels. The retail price of each gun was $100. In 
the show case were about fifty different guns, the total 
value of that portion of the exhibit footing up to $10,000 or 
thereabouts. . _^

is made expressly for fine target work from 200yds. up to 
500yds. In the same show case with the above rifles was 
a sample of the Remington double derringers, the only 
pistol manufactured by the company and the only double 
derringer on the market. Together with the derringers 
were a couple of elegantly finished single-shot target 
pistols. These pistols are fitted with round handles, lOin. 
barrels, case-hardened frame, blue barrel, half octagon, 
Rocky Mountain rear and open front sight. 
In the Remington Arms Co.'s exhibit we saw also two 
other very interesting articles— the Remington auxiliary 
rifle harrel and the life-line guns. The auxiliary rifle 
barrel is an ingenious contrivance for temporarily turning 
a shotgun into a rifle at will. The auxiliary barrel weighs 
about 21bs. and extends the entire length of the shotgun 
barrel, being held firmly in its place by a thumb-nut at 
the muzzle. They shoot accurately up to 500yds. and can 
b» inserted into any Bhotgun or taken out again with per- 
fect ease, thus making a very useful combination shotgun 
and rifle. They are made in any caliber desired, and 
when ordering all the company wants to know is the

balls of course were examined and handled by those who 
enjoy that game, while the bicycle lamps seemed to catch 
the fancy of a large number of those who passed the ex- 
hibit. The Buffalo lamps only weigh about 3oz., and 
are not oil lamps, but burn tapers, a single taper lasting 
about six hours. It is claimed for them that they are 
much cleaner than oil lamps, besides being handier and 
lighter. Horton's steel rods were also on view in this 
exhibit, as was also a case of very handsome revolvers. 
A special feature in the revolver case was the miniature 
revolver, a veritable toy, a watch charm, but which fired 
a tiny cartridge. The taxidermist's art was not forgotten

in this portion of the Exposition, works from the hand of 
T. von Rordorf attracting a lot of attention. 
The 
Remington Arms Company. 
Just across the aisle from the exhibit of the U. M. C. 
Company was that of the Remington Arms Company, of 
Illion, N. Y., a firm whose firearms have made it famous 
for many years, its military rifles having penetrated to 
all parts of the globe. Just now the company is making 
a specialty of one of the neatest shotguns on the market.

and at the space at various times were to be seen the 
president of the Hunter Arms Co., Mr. John Hunter; 
the vice-president, Mr. Thos. Hunter; the manager, Mr. 
Thos. Hunter 2d, and the assistant manager, Mr. Wm. 
Hunter, all stalwart men engaged in a stalwart enter- 
prise. It may be an item of interest to state that during 
the Exposition an order was given here for one of the 
name for 1 itself, both for* looks and for capabilities; the 
specimens shown by the firm in its exhibit at the Sports- 
men's Exposition were just the class of goods that a sports- 
man dearly loves to handle, throwing it to his shoulder 
and Fquioting along the barrel to see "how she comes up." 
| \The exhibit was in charge of Mr. H. W, Bradley, assist- 
ant superintendent at the works at Ilion, for the first part 
of the week, assisted by Mr. Fred Fay, from the New 
York house. Mr. Bradley had to leave for home on 
Wednesday, his place being taken by Mr. W. H. Grim- 
shaw, from the factory. Mr. Grimshaw, in showing us 
other p itions of the exhibit, called our attention to four 
B quality No. 3 match rifles. These beautiful weapons 
are splendidly finished, having ja half octagon barrel, re- 
bounding hammer, specially selected walnut stock, with

caliber and number of grains of cartridge. The life-line 
gun was a very curious looking weapon, being more like 
a carbine than anything else; the missiles that carry the 
line are something like a hollow weight for an old-fash- 
ioned clock or window sash. The weight of the "gun" is 
very deceptive as it lies in its case; the brass stock is very 
necessary, owing to the heavy recoil when firing. As 
may be judged from the foregoing brief description of

highest priced American guns ever built, if not the high" 
e3t. The order came with absolute carte blanche, and the 
request that the gun be the best the Hunter Arms Co. 
could make. It will have two sets of Whitworth fluid 
steel barrels and probably cost $750. 
The special feature arranged for this exhibit, however, 
was perhaps Dot so much trade display as mechanical dis- 
pUy, and here the result was most interesting. On a dis- 
play board all the parts of the locks, etc. , of the L. C. 
Smith gun were shown in process of manufacture, from 
the rod of steel up to the point where the fingers of the 
this firm's exhibit, there was plenty to keep a visitor in- 
terested at the exhibit of the Remington Arms Co. 
G. W. Cole & Co. 
G. W. Cole & Co., the manufacturers of the "Three in 
One" compound, made quite a display notwithstanding 
the fact that they had practically but one article to ex- 
hibit—their "Three in One." The large sign that hung 
above the space occupied by the firm was sufficient to 
draw people, the title of "Three in One" being enigmatical 
enough to hypnotize the curious and make them come to 
the stand for the purpose of finding out what it meant. 
The explanation of the title "Three in One" is given by 
the firm thus: "Three in One does three things: Prevents 
rust, cleans thoroughly and lubricates." It is recom- 
mended very highly by the firm, who have also compiled 
a small pamphlet from the testimonials received from a 
large number of sportsmen who have tried the compound 
and who, judging from their letters, have found it to 
all that its manufacturers claim it to be. 
"Three in One" is not prepared solely for use on fire- 
arms; it is said to be very beneficial to bicycles, as "it does 
not gum." In fact it may be used with benefit on any- 
thing that is made of steel and which is exposed to the 
weather or to be handled. 
The Hunter Arms Co. 
The display by the Hunter Arms Co. of the L. C. Smith 
gun was very comprehensive and instructive. There were 
something like half a hundred guns or so in the cases, 
running from $47 io $500 in price, and of the beautiful 
and workmanlike quality of these guns it is needless to 
make assurance. Mr. H. McMurchy (who had to extend 
some of his business dates with the trade to attend the 
Sportsmen's Exposition this year) was of course ready to 
set forth the excellencies of the staple product shown

forging and milling machines ceased to work them, and-) 
the fingers of the skilled artisans took them up. On another 
board the completed locks were shown, bright and per- j 
feet. There were barrels "in the bright" and barrels fin- 
ished and browned, and one barrel, a very curious and 
interesting sight, half bright and half browned, showing 
the sharp line of demarcation where the figure of then 
Damascus had been brought up out of the apparently 
perfectly plain and silvery-looking surface of the welded .: 
steel. There were also several barrels showing the process i 
of welding of the four-leaf Damascus.

mostly "machine made." Of course, improved machin 
ery does much of the heavy work, but the amount 
hand labor is enormous, as inspection of the drop forginj 
in this interesting exhibit would show. Perhaps the mos' 
interesting part of this progressive mechanical panoram 
was that showing the making of the solid steel frame o: 
the L. C. Smith gun. The first piece, or No. 1, was
