Extract from blB new book, "Trap, Field and 
Cover ShootlDg": 
•• In this and all matches I have shot Indoors, 1 
have used the Dlltmar Powder. It snoots strong 
and cl* an, and if It can be made uniform it will be 
a. good as aov in the world. The load I shot with 
would have hilled old cock grouse In December, or 
ducks or any leathered game or wild fowl." 
It is also 
Used Exclusively by Ira Paine 
IN ALL HIS MATCHES. 
By new process of waterproofing this powder is 
now made absolutely UDlform. MR. CARL DITT-

Flexible Waterproof, Tan-Color Duck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and hat 
cap— has the name and manufacturers’ ad- 
dress stamped upon it, and no suit is genuine 
without it bears this imprint. 
We make no discount except to the trade. 
The price of the suit complete is $13. 
The material is pf the best quality of duck, 
waterproofed by a patent process. The color 
is that known as “ dead grass shade.” 
The seams and pocket corners are copper- 
riveted, and nothing is neglected to make the 
whole suit complete in every way. 
This is what one of our best sportsmen says 
of it, writing from camp : “Although I had 
been nearly eight hours under incessant rain, 
laboring and striving along under adverse 
circumstances, yet 1 found myself compara- 
tively dry, and my clothes without a tear. For 
the benefit of our brother sportsmen, let me 
advise one of Messrs Simmons’ (of Boston, 
Mass.) Waterproof Suits. Oh ! what a relief 
it was to find one’s tobacco was dry, and that 
one could light, a pipe ; that you could laugh 
at your miserable friend, who stood shivering 
and shaking as if he had the palsy ; and then, 
next morning, oh! what fun it was to see him 
mending his clothes, while I had not a tear to 
complain of ! Ventilation, that great bugbear 
of waterproof suits, is legislated for in the 
most ingenious manner. No sportsman should 
fail to supply himself with a suit which is at 
once cheap, practical, and will last an almost 
indefinite time." 
Our Flexible Tau-Colored Water-Proof 
Leather Co its, Breeches, Vest, Leg-
