IRA A. PAINE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y. 
IMPROVEMENT IN CLASS-BALL TARGETS. 
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. I 96,379, dated October 23, 1877 ; application filed September 22, 1877. 
To all whom it may concern : 
Be it known that I, Iba A. Paixk, of New York City, in the Comity and State of 
New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Balls for Trap bhooting, of 
•which the following is a specification : , . . , . , 
The figure is a side view of one of my improved balls, part being broken away to show 
The object of this invention is to furnish balls for trap-shooting which shall be so con- 
structed as to “ make the feathers fly ” when broken by the shot, producing the same effect 
as when birds are struck by the shot. , ... 
The invention consists in a hollow glass ball for trap-9hootmg, filled with feathers or 
other light material, as will be hereinafter fully described t 
A represents the ball, which is make of glass, is smooth upon the omer side, and has a 
neck upon one side for placing it upon the trap. 
The ball A is filled with feathers B or other light material, as shown in the figure, 
which, when the ball A is broken by the shot, will be scattered through the air, showing 
that the ball was broken by the shot, and producing an effect similar to that produced 
when a bird is struck by shot, and enabling the marksman to see the effect of his shot, the 
smoke having time to disappear before the feathers can possibly reach the ground. 
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by 
Letters Patent, is— , , . , 
A hollow glass ball for trap-shooting, filled with feathers or other light material, sub- 
stantially as herein shown and described.

Bogardus’ Patent Rough Glass Balls 
and Glass Ball Traps. 
These Traps are the only ones that give satisfaction, a a 
they are simple of construction, easily set, and not liabla 
to get out of order, and they throw the ball In a manner 
that more closely resembles the flight of a bird than any 
other trap In the market. The Patent Rough Glass Balls 
are made of uniform weight and thickness, and have a 
corrugated surface that strengthens the ball for shipment 
to any part of the country, prevents the glancing of shot, 
and thereby Insures the breaking of the ball when hit. 
CAPTAIN BOGARDU8 was the Hist to Introduce the 
ROUGH BALL, and at a price far below the smooth ball 
at BaUs and°Trap can be ordered through all Gun Deal-
