POWDER 
CO. 
This Company has been reorganized and estab 
fished with abundant capital and business experl 
ence, and will be prepared to meet all demands for 
this Powder. Agencies will be established as 
Tapldly as possible, so that It can be procured o 
dealers In all parts of tbe country. It Is 
Now Used by Capt. Bogardus, 
THE CHAMPION WING SHOT, 
In all his shooting Indoors, and was used by him In 
the match at Gilmore’s Garden, where he broke 
5,000 balls In 500 minutes. 
Extract from bis new book, "Trap, Field and 
Cover Shooting ” : 
“ In this and all matches I have shot Indoors, I 
have used the Dittmar Powder. It shoots stroog 
and clean, and if it can be made uniform it will be 
as good a« any In the world. Tne load I shot with 
would have killed old cock grouse In December, or 
docks or any leathered game or wild fowl." 
It Is also 
Used Exclusively by Ira Paine 
IN ALL niS MATCHES. 
ONLY ONE QUALITY MADE, AND THAT IS 
THE VERY BEST. 
Flexible Waterproof, Tau-Color Duck. 
Each article— coat, trousers, vest and bat 
cap — bas tbe 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 of tbe best quality of duck, 
waterproofed by a patent process. The color 
is that known as “ dead grass shade." 
Tbe 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 be 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 iu tbe 
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 Tan- Colored Water- Proof 
Leather Co its, Breeches, Vest, Leg- 
gings and Caps are considered the finest 
things ever made.

Hart’s Sportsman’s Favorite Metallic Shells. 
FOR BREECH- LOADING SHOT GUNS. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from Inside, 
nead solid and much thicker than any Shell now made, giving a solid Beat for cone or anvil, which prevents 
It from driving through or springing away, thereby causing mlss-Ures. The Cone Is made of nickel, and fas- 
tened solid Inlta place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, like movable anvil made from steel. The Nickel 
Cone also prevents miss-fire when a cap bus been left on shell for a few days, which Is liable to occur either 
in steel or Iron. These Shells are finely finished, aud made any length ordered, from to Inches. 
Shells and Loaders and Descriptive Price-Lists can be obtained from all the leading Sportsmen’s Houses 
throughout the country. HART, t SLOA X, Newark, N. J. 
FROM CAPTAIN BOGARDUS, CHAMPION WING-SHOT OF AMERICA. 
Messrs. George E. Hart A Oo.— Gentlemen: The fifty Shells I received from yon to-day suit me better 
than any I have ever used. They are stronger and better in every respect, aud I shall use them In all my 
shooting hereafter. Yours truly, a. H. BOGARDUS.
