PRAIRIE FIRES NEVER SPREAD FASTER 
THAN THE SALE OE THIS BEAUTIFUL AND POPULAR BALL. 
NOTICE TO SPORTSMEN: 
Through an unavoidable accident we have been prevented from filling our very numerous orders for the two last weeks, we now take this opportunity of informing the public In 
general, and the Dealers in particular, that we are fully prepared to meet and fill all orders for the 
PAINE PATENTED FEATHER-FILLED BALL, 
and will hold in stock in future sufficient to fill all orders, as we have increased our facilities so much that we are prepared to make 50,000 per day if needed. 
BROKE ” the w ? f d said 5.500 times by the referee in the Great Match between DR. CARVER and time. The PAINE FILLED BALL was used in 
preference to all other. As to the merit of the ball we need hardly call your attention, since every prominent shot, including the most marvelous of all marksmen, the king of the rifle, 
DR. CARVER, 
has used them in preference to all others. No better criticism could be given the ball than the gratuitous praise bestowed upon it by the press of the entire country since its production. 
PAINE’S PATENTED FEATHER-FILLED BALL 
is the ball of the future as well as of the present. 
We will from this day commence to fill all back orders, and any others that may come will receive prompt attention. 
Every ball made scale, and no imperfections $ 1 ,000 Reward to any one who can find a single ball in ten thousand beyond the maximum weight (two ounce})- No thick 
sides or bottoms. Its uniformity of thickness won it favor from the first, and out of the immense number sold wc have never had one complaint. 
NO CLOSE DECISIONS.— A. Feather-filled Ball once struck by shot, and the tale is told. It satisfies evert/ one on the instant , and saves all unpleasant work for Referees 
t > u o,^? SHORT COUNT.— Every barrel is warranted to contain over three hundred to allow for reasonable breakage. Will also contain copies of the Standard Rules for Glass 
Ball Shooting for one, two or three traps. ° 1
