CARD. 
During Mr. Paine’s absence in England his Patents were grossly infringed upon. Glass Balls and Traps of the most worthless description 
were sold in large numbers. Balls that could not be broken with a cannon were thrust upon the market by thousands. On his arrival home, seeing 
this state of affairs, lie immediately, with his fruitful brain, invented the Paine Feather-filled Glass Ball. American sportsmen are the best judges of 
its magnificent success. # 
No Sportsman’s Warehouse is Complete without Paine’s Feather-filled Class Balls. Men and Boys, from Maine to Cali- 
fornia, shoot at them ! Old ladies darn socks on them! Children learn Ceography on them! Babies cut their teeth on 
them ! If you want a Ball for main strength and endurance try some other. 
WARNING TO ALL. 
The following will show how fully ve are protected^ the manufacture of the Paine Patent Feather-filled.Glass Ball, and as the price is SO LOW there is little or no incentive 
beyond curiosity to infringe on the Patent ;

IRA A. PAINE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y. 
IMPROVEMENT IN CLASS-BALL TARCETS. 
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. | 96,379, dated October 23, 1877 ; application filed September 22, 1877. 
To all whom it may'concirn : 
Be it known that I, Iba A. Paine, of New York City, in the County and State of 
New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Balls for Trap Shooting, 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 construction. 
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-shooliDg, filled with feathers or 
other light material, as will be hereinafter fully described. 
A represents the ball, which is make of glass, is smooth upon the outer 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 bv 
Letters Patent, is— J 
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, as 
they are simple of construction, easily set, and not liable- 
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 thoglaneing of shot, 
aDd thereby Insures the breaking of the ball when hit. 
CAPTAIN BOGARDUS was the first t* Introduce the 
ROUGH BALL, and at a price far below the smooth ball 
at that time. 
Balls and Trap can be ordered through all Gan Deal- 
ers. Liberal discount to the Trade. 
ItrY improved TRAP (warranted), which will throw a ball In any direction from the shooter at 
the option of the puller, Is now readv for the market. Price 88. Old htyle, 80. 
Parlies buying glnn« balls will receive, In each barrel containing 3JO balls ^arcorc book wad 
rules for glass ball shooting, containing 40 pages.
