THE BIG-GAME HUNTER 
May we help you make a selection of a rifle? We carry the most 
complete stock in New York, and our salesmen are men of experience 
whose advice may be depended on. We make a specialty of the 
“Savage,” the greatest of all game getters, but carry in stock all other 
popular makes. Our catalogue No. 414 illustrates and tells the net 
prices of everything a hunter needs. May we send you one? 
The Wonderful Hoxie Bullet. 
Hoxieized cartridges make a small caliber light weight rifle power¬ 
ful enough for the largest game. A Hoxie bullet will go clear through 
bone or any hard substance, but when it strikes flesh or tissue it imme¬ 
diately expands. Its penetration and killing qualities are really won¬ 
derful. Put up in boxes of ten and supplied in all makes of smoke¬ 
less central fire sporting sizes. May we tell you more about them?

want to thank you for the great pleasure you 
have afforded me during the past 35 years by mak¬ 
ing a gun that has stood the test that few can 
1 bought it the fall of 1870 and paid $170. 1 
laid aside my old and true friend until such time 1 am laid 
to rest, when it will be in the box with me. I doubt if 
there ever was a gun made that has been so much used as 
mine. She has not cost me five cents for repairs, and only last 
fall she was just as true as ever.”

The “Forest and Stream” 
TRAP SCORE BOOK 
meets the needs of gun clubs and shooters in every par¬ 
ticular. The 150 sheets are heavily ruled—an advantage 
all scorers will appreciate, particularly when working in 
a dim light. The horizontal spaces are numbered from 
1 to 30. Broad perpendicular lines divide these into 
groups of six; thus the squads are distinguished at a 
glance. 
The paper manifolds easily, and carbon sheets are 
placed in the book for that purpose. 
It contains the American Shooting Association Rules 
for Live-Bird Shooting, for Double Live-bird Shooting, 
for Inanimate Target Shooting; Hurlingham Revised 
Live-Bird Rules for single and double rises, and the 
Rose System of dividing purses. Price, $1.00.
