!Miss IVarburt on’s champion bitch “Venus.” Also the 
ilarquis of Waterford’s blood in “Flounce,” and Mr.

Figeon Traps. 
PARKER^S 
P.\.TENT SELF-CLOSING 
“PI” and “T” 
PLUXGE TRAPS. 
These traps are made after the style of the regular plunge traps, 
with the additional improvement — which is putcDtedr—oi po con- 
necting the covers with the plunirer— on which the bud sits, and 
from w hich he is thrown when the trap is operated— as to close them 
when the plunger tails to place, and by it^< weight hold^ them down 
so that it is impossible for a bird to open the covers and escape, as 
i» often the case with other plunge traps Thesiecial advanlflgea 
claimed are that the 
TIME AND BIRDS SAVED 
during a single season's use of 
Parker’s Patent Self-Closing Traps, 
will more than 
REPAY ANY CLUB WHICH MAY ADOPT THEM. 
Ko expense is spared in manufacturing these traps to make thim 
STRONG AND DURABLE. 
Each trap has an 
Extra Water-tight Rox 
outside the box, which protects the plunger, 
WITH COVER FOR THE SAME, 
thns enabling the sportsman to set the trap firmly in the ground and 
remove it at any time, leaving the outside box, with cover, on the 
field. 
PRICE, $25.00 PER PAIR. 
A pair of sent by freight or express on receipt of the price.

P?.ecominerLd.ebt.ioiis : 
From Capt. A. H. BOGARDUS, Champion Wing Shot of America: 
“I reckon your pigeon trap away above all other traps I ever *<aw 
It is handy to use and sure to work. I tell every body 1 meet that 
It is the only trap that ought to be used.” 
A. 11. BOGARDUi. 
Extract from a private letter received fromllox. A. C. Mattoon: 
“MTiat can I say that will convey to the trap shooters of this 
country a clearer idea of the excellence and superiority of yoiir 
Patent Self-closing Pigeon trap, over anv other pigeon trap, that I 
have seen, than to mention tlie fact that I have witnessed the shoot- 
ing of nearly twenty thousand birds from those traps at our lute 
convention, and cannot now call to mind a single instance when 
the shooting was delayed an instant in consequence ofdisarrange- 
meut of traps; they can be filled, with less loss of birds, and with 
greater facility than the old fashioned traps.” 
THESE TRAPS \yERE ADOPTED 
BY THE 
NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION, 
At their annual convention, held at Batavia, June, 1873, as will be 
Been by the following letter; 
“In answer to your favor of the 17th regarding the action of the 
Association about the self-closing improvement to plunge traps, I 
would say that this .Association has adopted them and engaged Mr. 
Knapp to add to the eight traps now ONvned by the Association, this 
self-closing improvement. Yours respectfully, 
John B. ?aqk, Sec. Y. S. Absoc'b.”
