On hand the largest and best assortment ever exhibited in the 
United States. They particularly call attention lo their 
TROUT, SALMON AND BASS RODS. 
The difficulty of procuring a gun ready made that will 
suit the figure, and at the same lime meet all the other 
requirements of the sportsman, as in Weight, Gauge, 
Length, Bend, Style, Sltooting Poirers, and Price, causes 
the majority of first-class shots to have their guns built to 
special order. The great drawback heretofore to this 
method of procuring a FINE GUN has been the extrava- 
gant and fancy prices charged for such work. To over- 
come this difficulty we have established a house in New 
York, thus enabling sportsmen to trade direct with the 
gun maker. We are now prepared to accept from sports- 
men orders to build FINE Guns of any desired nfgasure- 
ment, at our list prices, which ■we forward with illustrated 
description of our guns on application.

And hereafter yon will

Tbeee Shells with slotted heads are so constructed as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded caps from the ontside with 
any pointed instrument — even a common pocket-knife wiU do tlie 
work snccess/nlly. Once seen Sportsmen will use no ot^er shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cp ejectors, holes pouched throngh caps, screw-head shells that 
corrode and cannot be nuscrewed after a little use. In a word, it 
will snpercede aU other shells now in use.

These traps are made after the style of the regular pltmge traps, 
with the additional improvement— which is patented— of so con- 
necting the covers tvith the plunger, on which the bird site, and 
from which he U thrown when the trap is operated, as to close them 
when the plunger falls to place, and by its weight holds them down, 
so 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

Extract from a private letter received from Hon. A. C. Mattoon: 
** ^S"hat can I say that will convey to the trap shooters of this 
country a clearer idea of the excellence and superiorly of your 
Patent Self-Closing Pigeon Trap over any other pigeon trap that we 
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 call to mind a single instance when 
the shooting was delayed an instant in consequence of disarrange- 
ment of traps; they can be filled, with leas loss of birds, and with 
greater facility than the old fashioned traps." 
THESE TRAPS AERE ADOPTED 
BY THE 
XEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION, 
at their annual convention, held at Batavia, June, 1873, as will be 
seen 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 uaps. now owned by the Association, 
this self-closing improvement Yours, respectfully,
