The difficulty of procuring a gun ready made that will 
suit the figure, and at the same time meet all the other 
requirements of the sporuman, as in fVeifffU, Gauge, 
Length, Bend, Style, Shooting Powers, 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 hou.se 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 measure- 
ment, at our list prices, which we forward with illustrated 
description of our guns on application.

IF SOT, 
SEND FOR A SAMPLE. 
And hereafter you will 
Use IMo Other Shell!! 
These Shells with slotted heads are so constructed aa to enable 
spor* smen easil y to remove the exploded caps from the ontsidc with 
any pointed instrument— even a common pocket-knife will do ie 
work snccessfuliy. Once eeen SporUtnen will use no ot er shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
c^p ejectors, holes punched through caps, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little use. In a word, it 
will supercede all other shells now in use.

These traps are made after the style of the regular plunge traps, 
with the additional improvement — which is patented— of so con- 
necting the covers with the plunger, on which ihe bird fits, and 
from which he is thrown when the trap is operated, as to close them 
when the plunger falls to place, and by its weight holds treni down, 
so that it IS impossible for a bird to open the covers and escape, ae 
is often the ca&f^ wi;h other plunge traps. The special advantages 
claimed are that the

Extract from a private letter rece vod from Hon. A. C. Mai toon: 
“ What can I say that will convey to the trap shooters of this 
coantry a clearer idea of the excellence and saperiority of yonr 
Patent Self-Closine Pigeon Trap over any other pigeon trap that we 
have seen, than to meh'ion the fact that I have uituessed ihc shoot- 
ing of nearly twenty thunsand birds from those traps at oar late 
coovention, end cannot now call to mind a single instanre when 
the shooting was de'aved an instant in cnn.-equcnce of dis-arrange- 
ment of traps; they can be filled, with less loss of birds, and with 
greater facility than the old fashioned traps." 
THESE TRAPS YERE ADOPTED
