IRISH PRIZE BLOOD ALL RED SETTERS FOR 
SALE. — Several brace of large, slashing, beautiful 
looking blood-red animals — trained and untrained — the 
best in Ireland, combining the blood of Dj'cer’s famed 
Dan,” Hutchinson’s renowned champion “ Bob,” 
Cooper’s prize dog “Ranger,” Hutchinson’s “Lilly,” 
Miss Warburton’s champion bitch “Venus.” Also the 
^Marquis of Waterford’s blood in “Flounce,” and Mr. 
La Louche’s in ‘ Ranger.” The above are the real true 
type of Irish Setter, famed for their pace, entUirance, 
and nose, not the red and white so often pa'vned oil as 
Irish. A few young dogs of the old “Inisit Water 
Spaxiel” breed now so difficult to obtain, the best, 
most sagacious, and most endurable retriever living.

Figeon Traps. 
PARKER^S 
PATENT SELF-CLOSING 
“I-I” and “T” 
TLUXGE TRARS. 
These trap$ are made after the style of the re£riihir plnnse traps, 
with the additional improvement — which is pateiiled^of so con- 
necting the covers with the planner — on which the bird sits, and 
from which he is thrown when the trap is operated~as to close them 
when the plumrer falls to place, and by its weight holds them down 
eo that it is impossible for a bird to open the covers and escape, as 
is often the case with other plunge traps. The special advantages 
claimed are that the 
TIME AXD BIRDS SAVED 
during a single season's use of 
Parker’s Patent Self-Closins Traps, 
will more than 
REPAY ANT CLUB WHICH JIAY ADOPT THEM. 
No expense is spared in mannfacturiiig these traps to make them 
STRONG AND DURABLE. 
Each trap has an 
Extra Watev-tifjht Box 
outside the box, which piotects the plunger, 
WITH COVER FOR THE SAME, 
thus enabling the si>ortsman to set the trap firmly in the ground and 
remove U at any time, leaving the outside box, with cover, on the 
field. 
PRICE. S25.00 PER PAIR. 
A pair of sent by freight or express on receipt of the price.

PLecommeiid.£Lt,ioiis : 
From Capt. A. H. BOGARDUS, Champion Wing Shot of America: 
‘‘I reckon your pigeon trap away above all other traps I ever saw 
It is handy to use and sure to work. I tell every body I meet that 
It is the only trap that ought to be used. ” 
A. H. BOGAKDCt. 
Extract from a private letter received from Hon. A. C. Mattoon: 
“What can I say that will convey to the trap shooters of this 
country a clearer idea of the excellence and superiority of your 
Patent Self-closing Pigeon trap, over any other pigeon trap, tiiat I 
have seen, than to mention the fact that I have witnessed the shoot- 
ing of nearly twenty thousand birds from those traps at our late 
convention, and cannot now c-ill to mind a single instance when 
the shooting was delayed an instant in consequence ofdisarrangi- 
ment of traps; they can he filled, with less loss of birds, and with 
greater facility tlian the old fashioned tritps.” 
THESE TRAPS AVERE ADOPTED 
BY THE 
NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION, 
At their annual convention, held at Batavia, June, 1813, as will be 
seen by the following letter; 
“In answer to your favor of the 17th regarding the aetion of the 
.» ssociation abont the self-clo.sing improvement to plunge traps, 1 
would say that this Association has adopted tiiera and engaged Mr. 
Knapp to add to the eight traps now owned by the A ssociation, .this 
Belf-tJosing improvement. Yonrs rcspectfnlly,
