[PATENT APPLIED FOR.] 
Ill view of the great popularity attained by ARCHERY during the past season, and the repeated inquiries that have 
been made from time to time for a substitute that might be used during the Winter Months, the inventor lias succeeded 
in adapting the game to the parlor; and in “HORSMAN’S PARLOR ARCHERY,” lie feels assured that this latest 
innovation in the way of GAMES will meet a special want and be largely made use of among all families. 
The great beauty of this invention is that it is a perfect substitute for Field Archery, the same degree of skill being 
requisite to hit the target as is required in the field ; a match therefore will be as much in order in the diuing or drawing 
room after dinner, as it lias been on the lawn before lunch during the summer. 
t?" The Bow and Arrows are so constructed and guarded that injury to the AValls, Win¬ 
dows, Mirrors, Furniture or Carpets can he entirely avoided. A “Set” consists of one Bow, six 
Arrows, a frame and canvas, on which is also the target.
