It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any 
one who "goes a-fishing." Some people charge for their catalogues, some 
charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 
give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 
looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 
customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 
get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.

The growing popularity and success of the EMPIRE TARGET are causing our competitors to renew their efforts to 
malign its qualities by calling it a "cheap imitation and inferior substitute," but it would seem by the enormous sales and 
the large list of leading jobbers and dealers handling the EMPIRE that their efforts were not "panning out 5 ' as they would 
wish. We are informed by tbe largest dealers that the Empire is giving better satisfaction than any other target they ever 
handled. The reason for this is that the Empire is a strictly first-class article and sold on its merits. It is manufactured 
under the management of experts, who have been in the business from its beginning, and made by the most expensive and 
perfect automatic machinery, from the very best composition that is possible to put in a target, and so shaped and con- 
structed as to make the sure3t breaker and flyer, and we challenge our competitors to prove otherwise. 
Empire targets cost no more— perhaps less— than any other, 
and can be thrown from all principal traps.

Lancaster's Famous Book, 
THE ART OF SHOOTING, 
By CHARLES LANCASTER. 
AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 
At the special request of many gentlemen who have placed themselves in my hands for 
instruction in the Art of Shooting, 1 have written this treatise. I have endeavored to meet 
the special requirements of those who are aDxious to become proficient in the art, and who 
have hitherto been unable to obtain, in a precise form, the information necessary for study- 
ing the first principles of shooting at moving objects. 
I have had the honor of coaching many gentlemen, and have carefully studied the 
points especially requiring attention that have cropped up from time to time while giving 
instruction. I hope that those who favor me by.studying this treatise may quickly gain 
the knowledge so essential for the making of an average if not brilliant shot. 
I have purposely refrained from touching on the several merits of any class of gun — 
being a gun-maker myself; and, indeed, so many good works on the subject have been 
written, that it is really unnecessary. 
I trust that authors from whose writings I have made extracts will pardon me when 
they recollect that I have at heart one object, viz., the advancement of a manly sport 
which gives pleasure, health and occupation to many, and to the patronage of whose fol- 
lowers I am indebted for many pleasant days.

These two volumes treating of two different tribes of Indians are full of fascination for 
lovers of outdoor life. Each contains a number of the stories current in the tribe to which 
it relates, and these are followed by a series of graphic pictures of the old wild life which is 
now only a memory. The stories deal with hunting, war, love, ghosts, magic and n ttural 
phenomena. They are given just as related by the old men who told them to the atithor, 
ind show Indian life from the Indian point of view.

These volumes have been for some time out of print, and new editions revised by th" 
author have just been received. There is scarcely any one whose utterances with regard to 
shotguns and rifles are entitled to as much weight as Mr. Greener's, for he has been making 
these arms for many years. To his great knowledge of them he adds a pleasant and clear 
style in writing, which adds to the value of his books. Every American who uses a gun ough t 
to read these books. Sent postpaid on receipt of price.
