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 ont 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 BOGARDUS was the tlrst to Introduce the 
ROUGH BALL, and at a prloe far below the smooth ball 
at that time. 
Balia and Trap can be ordered through all Gnn Deal- 
ers. Liberal discount to the Trade. 
iHV IMPROVED TRAP (warranted), which will throw a ball In any direction from the shooter ai 
the option of the pallet, is now ready for the market. Price 88. Old style >, 36. 
Part I cm buying glasx bnlln will receive, In each barrel containing 300 balls, score book and 
rules for glass ball shooting, containi ng 40 pages.

Th e “ Standard ” Ball. 
The Bohemian Glass Works would respectfully call the attention of all dealers In Glass Balls to the faci 
that the Paine Patent Filled Ball Is the STANDARD AND ONLY BALL MADE TO A SCALE, therefore we

No other ball affords the PLEASURE of the Feather Filled Ball, and no other Ball Is as beautifully 
made. It will break In every instance when hit by shot, and Is sufficiently 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 800.
