INTRODUCTION. 
 
 In again presenting an illustrated Catalogue to my patrons and the sporting classes 
 of the American people in general, I do so much encouraged by the results of a success- 
 ful business experience among them — a feeling increased by a consciousness of the 
 fact that this success has been induced by honorable and fair dealings with all, and by 
 selling the best goods for the lowest prices. In attestation of this, I simply say that 
 I am successfully competing with the best New York houses in the matter of furnishing 
 outfits for many of the Professional and Amateur Base-Ball Clubs of the country, that 
 this speciality of my business is rapidly increasing among them, and that I have just 
 supplied, for the second time, the annual outfit for the best professional club of New 
 York City, and one of the most celebrated in America. 
 
 All that I have done for the convenience and satisfaction of my customers in the 
 past I shall again do for them in the future, and will always keep the lead, as I have 
 heretofore done, in reducing my prices simultaneously with the reduction of the mar- 
 ketable value of each or any of the materials from which my various assortments of 
 Sporting and other Goods are manufactured. 
 
 Since the issuing of my last illustrated Catalogue, owing to an inability to obtain 
 first-class goods at prices that would enable me to sell them to the public at moderate 
 rates, I have established my own factory, and CAN NOW TRULY SAY THAT I manufac- 
 ture MOST OF THE BASE-BALL, FISHING, AND GYMNASIUM GOODS CONTAINED IN 
 
 this Catalogue. This alone gives me superior advantages over any other American 
 house ; and taken in connection with the fact that I have been compelled to add to 
 my salesrooms the two stores recently adjoining my premises, in order to accommodate 
 the large additions I am constantly making to my stock, warrants me in saying to all 
 that I am prepared to make better bargains with them than they can secure elsewhere, 
 and that I am determined to be surpassed by no house in this line of business in the 
 country. 
 
 Congratulating the American people on the increasing popularity of out-door 
 sports among them, on account of its tendency to produce better physiques in ouryouth, 
 and commending this Catalogue to their favorable consideration, I subscribe myself, 
 with great respect.

ARCHERY GOODS. 
 
 The revival a few years since in England of the delightful pastime of Archery from 
 the list of really contributive pleasures of past ages has led to its introduction in 
 America, where, through its constantly increasing popularity, it is certainly destined 
 to occupy within a brief period a prominent position among the favorite out-door 
 sports of our people. To continually keep pace with the demands of the pleasure- 
 loving public— and whenever it is possible, to anticipate them — has always been the ob- 
 ject of my ambition. I have therefore added to rny large stock of Sporting Goods a 
 complete assortment of every thing, both domestic and imported, pertaining to Archery, 
 which I respectfully offer at prices that will compare favorably with those of any other 
 similar establishment in this country. Bear in mind that these and all other goods 
 mentioned in this Catalogue, or contained in my store, are the best of each of their 
 respective kinds and qualities manufactured, and that I will send them C. O. D. to any 
 point in the United States reached by express.

 Base Balls. 
 
 I take pleasure in offering to ball players my excellent line of Base Balls. I have 
 made a lasting reputation on these goods by keeping the quality superior to any in the 
 market. The growing popularity of my new Professional Dead Balls is due to the 
 uniform manner in which every ball is made, viz. , all Yarn, 1 ounce Moulded Rubber, 
 and guaranteed to the requirements of the Convention. 
 
 On account of the many worthless imitations of Dead Balls with which the market 
 is now flooded, owing to the increasing popularity of our National Game of Base Ball, 
 I stamp all my brand with my name in full on each ball, and if any of them purchased 
 direct from me are not as I represent them, I will refund the money or exchange the 
 goods at the discretion of the purchasers. 
 
 Remember that I am the Sole Agent or the " Malm Ball " (usd by the Boston 
 and other Professional Clubs) for the Cities of New York and Brooklyn. 
 
 Being a manufacturer of most of the articles mentioned in the following list, I offer 
 them to clubs and dealers, believing that my low prices for the superior grade of 
 goods here presented, will secure your patronage. 
 
 JiOTE.— Orders for SAMPLES of a single article or pair, will be filled at the Wholesale 
 Rates or Dozen Prices. Orders accompanied with the Cash will be filled at 5 per cent, below the 
 Catalogue Prices. 
 
 In ordering, order by numbers, as indicated in this list, and never neglect to send 
 sizes of Shoes, Caps, Belts, &c.

 The above illustration, representing my new Prize Ball and Case, is designed for 
 presentation to such Base-Ball or Cricket Players as have won especial distinction or 
 merit on the field. It is also intended, as the title implies, as a prize for the winning 
 club in cases of special contest. Both the Ball and Case are made in the most admira- 
 ble and substantial manner, so that their intrinsic value alone are sufficient to make 
 them worthy objects of emulation, outside of those higher and nobler motives which 
 induce the desire for superiority among men.

 Imported Worsted Wei) Belts. 
 
 These Belts have become extremely popular among ball players, gymnasts, and the 
 boating fraternity, where it is necessary that nothing should impede the motion of 
 the body in the various attitudes. This has been the objection to heavy leather belts, 
 and thus my own are preferable. These Belts are made of the best material, 2\ inches 
 wide, and any length to suit size of waist. I now have in stock the following thirteen 
 different styles ; but any designs not illustrated in this Catalogue will be furnished or 
 made to order on the shortest notice and at the lowest figure.

CRICKET GOODS. 
 
 The events of the past year resulting in repeated triumphs of the American Base- 
 Ball Clubs over the best English Cricket Clubs in the national game of England, dur- 
 ing the exhibition tour of the Boston and Athletic Clubs in that country, bids fair to make 
 the game of Cricket much more popular in America than it has heretofore been. In- 
 deed, there is good reason to believe that this game will be played by some of our pro- 
 fessional clubs quite often this summer. Acting upon my belief in the views I have 
 above expressed, I take great pleasure in saying to my friends and the public that I 
 have recently made extensive additions to my large stock of the best Imported English 
 goods. These additions have been carefully selected from the salesrooms of the lead- 
 ing English manufacturers, and include all the latest improvements. 
 
 In illustrating on this page the appearance of a few of the principal articles of 
 Cricket goods now used in England, I will simply add that the greatest attention 
 has been bestowed in the manufacture of the Buck Leg Guards ; they are stuffed with 
 the finest cotton, and made as light as possible, so as not to impede the motions of the 
 players while running the wickets ; the Wicket-keeping Gauntlets are made from the 
 best white buckskin and yellow doe leather, on the same principle as those used by the 
 most celebrated English Wicket Keepers of the present time ; and the Bats are made of 
 superior English Willow, Wound, Patent Repercussive, Double Malacca Cane, Superior 
 Treble, Dovetailed, etc., Handles.

FISHING RODS, TACKLE, ETC. 
 
 Being one of the largest manufacturers of Fishing Rods in the United States, and 
 an extensive importer of Fishing Tackle, I am enabled to offer goods at cheaper re- 
 tail prices than can probably be obtained in any other city in the Union. I here 
 append a Price-List of many articles belonging to this department of sport ; but it is 
 proper that I should say it embraces only a small portion of the large and select stock 
 of Fishing Goods to be found at all times in my store. I will also take occasion to say, 
 that, having long made this line of business one of my specialities, and being an expe- 
 rienced practical fisherman myself, I am fully acquainted with the wants of those who 
 enjoy fishing. Therefore, in ordering, state in what locality you desire the tackle for, 
 and I will most likely be the best judge. In ordering rods, say whether you want a 
 rod for bait or fly fishing, for trout, bass, perch, pickerel, or salt-water fishing.

 Made from the best Materials. 
 
 This suberb Fishing- Suit, a correct idea of which can only be obtained by referring 
 to Illustration No. Ill, is an outfit which should be in the possession of every profes- 
 sional and Amateur Fisherman. Being made entirely from the best Drab Duck, with 
 the exception of the boots, it will be found both pleasant and durable during the sultry 
 days of summer, especially to the non-professional angler.

AMMUNITION AND ACCOUTREMENTS. 
 
 To that class of the sportsmen of America who confine their pursuit of pleasure 
 almost entirely to the gun, it is hardly necessary at this late day to present my 
 claims to an intimate and extensive knowledge of all their requirements, as I feel quite 
 assured that a business acquaintance with them of many years has sufficiently demon- 
 strated the fact that I have constantly on hand at Nos. 51, 53, and 55 Court street, 
 Brooklyn, the best and most carefully selected stock of Guns, Pistols, Accoutrements, 
 Ammunition, etc., to be found in this country, at prices that defy competition. To 
 enumerate every thing- I keep in this line would increase the dimensions of this Cata- 
 logue to too great a size, and I therefore content myself with giving- only a partial list 
 of the goods contained in this department of sport. 
 
 Snipe Shooting at the South. 
 
 Below I merely make general mention of my large and extensive assortment of 
 standard American and English Ammunition and Accoutrements. Although not classi- 
 fied in some instances with prices, yet. upon ordering, you will find that these articles 
 are exceedingly cheap.

 GUNS AND RIFLES. 
 
 Below I give the prices of a few of the Guns which I keep constantly on hand. 
 Those that have exclusively the manufacturers' reputation, as also the Rifles, I do not 
 give, because the rates vary somewhat from time time, and therefore renders it difficult 
 to give a definite permanent price.

AMERICAN PISTOLS. 
 
 My stock of Pistols embrace every standard kind and quality of those manu- 
 factured in the United States, from a miniature Single Cartridge Pistol to the largest 
 sized Revolver. But there are some which I make specialities of, such, for example, 
 as the Hornet Revolver, Smith's Patent Revolver, the Blue Jacket Revolver, and the 
 Ethan Allen Revolver, all Superior Cartridge Pistols. Of the former, viz., the Hor- 
 net and Smith's Patent Revolver, I give illustrations, which represent their exact size. 
 Parties ordering either of them can rely upon getting a first-class American Revolver.

 To this branch of my business I have devoted many years of personal attention, 
 and therefore believe that I am fully conversant with the wants of those who use this 
 class of goods. Having been long convinced, as the result of rny knowledge and ex- 
 perience, that the different grades of Gymnasium Goods generally offered to the trade 
 were too inferior for the exorbitant prices demanded for them, I at last resolved to 
 manufacture my own stock, and am consequently enabled to present to the public 
 a superior line of goods at moderate prices, a list of which I give in these pages, em- 
 bracing everything known to the lovers of Athletic Sports, and which I will guarantee 
 to be just as I represent. Any of these goods will be sent C. 0. D. to any part of the 
 United States. ■>

 shoulders, back, loins, and the muscles of the abdomen, and will learn the striker how 
 to deal a strong blow. It is of inestimable value to dyspeptics and persons of seden-

 the blood, and impart a healthy glow to the whole body. Thare is no danger of bark-

 All made of the Finest Curled Hair, and made entirely by Hand. 
 
 I have long given especial attention to the manufacture of these Gloves, and claim 
 them to be unequaled by any in the market. They are made entirely by hand, out of 
 the strongest and softest materials, and combine every requisite of First-class Boxing 
 Gloves. During the long period in which I have manufactured and sold these Gloves 
 I have never heard or received a single complaint against them, proof positive of the 
 universal satisfaction they have given by their durability and finish. 
 
 On the opposite page will be found my prices for these Gloves, which. I think, are 
 much lower than they can be purchased elsewhere.

 ing a lead pencil entirely around it. Then get a narrow strip of paper, and measure 
 round the ball and instep of the foot exactly, and mark the parts with the pencil across 
 the strip of paper. Let your strip be a foot long, and three-quarters of an inch wide.

 Wmsloir's New York Club Skate. 
 
 This Skate has long been favorably regarded by the Skaters of America, possess- 
 ing as it does, peculiar merits, which cannot fail to make it as popular in the future 
 as it has been in the past. It is manufactured in two qualities at the following prices : 
 Blued, per pair, $:i.50. Superior Nickel Plated, per pair, $5.00. 
 
 The Patent American Club Skate. 
 
 This popular Self- Adjusting Skate is the latest patented, I believe, and will give 
 satisfaction to all who use it, as the manufacturers claim that their sales are increasing 
 annually. It is simple and durable in construction, requires no Heel Plates, and is 
 readily fitted to the boot by turning the screw ; and being locked and unlocked by the 
 motion of the lever, it forms a firm and reliable fastening. Made in three qualities : 
 Blued, per pair, $4.50. Polished, $6.50. Nickel Plated. $8.00. 
 
 Barney & Berry's Club Skate. 
 
 The superior and beautiful manner in which Barney & Berry's Club and Rink 
 Skates are always manufactured, have contributed to make them universally and de- 
 servedly popular. The ' ' Barney & Berry Club " is an economical and splendid Skate, 
 made from Imported Steel, with Blued Foot and Heel Plates, and Extra Tempered 
 Blades ; while the " Barney & Berry Rink," though made from the same metal, is of 
 a more elaborate and beautiful character, plated, and finished in the very best manner. 
 Club Skate, Blued, $3.50. Rink, Polished, $8.50. Plated and Highly Finished, $10.
