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 
tliut more closely resembles the flight of a bird than any 
other trap in the market. The Patent Rough Glass R»u» 
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 BOGARDUS was the tlrst to Introduce the 
ROUGH BALL, and at a price far below the smooth ball 
at that time. 
Balls and Trap can be ordered through all Gun Deal- 
ers. Liberal dlsoount to the Trade. 
MY 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. Olrl »tylt, go.

FEATHER FILLED CLASS BALL. 
PATENTED OCTOBER 23, 1877. 
The “ Standard 99 Ball. 
The Bohemian Glass Works would respectfully call the attention of all dealers in Glass Balls to the fact 
that the Paine Patent Filled Ball Is the STANDARD AND ONLY BALL MADS TO A SCALE, therefore we 
would respectfully cautlun the dealers against laying In a stock of unsaleable articles for the Spring Trade,

made. It will break In efery Instance when hit by shot, and Is snfficlenily strong to prevent breakage 
either by transportation or falling on the grass. 
Every ball is weighed and examined, then packed with the greatest care. In barrels of 300.
