ORANGE SPORTING POWDER, 



THE PRIZE POWDER OF THE WORLD. 



THIS POWDER has greater strength and range, and leaves less residuum, than 

 any other, and that of an oily nature, so that comparatively there is no fouling. 

 In the experiments made by the RUSSIAN OFFICERS (the most exhaustive of any 

 ever made, and running through a period of fifteen months), there were fired" 

 ten thousand rounds of this powder from two rifles, and without once washing 

 the rifles, and without once missing fire, a feat never paralleled in the annals of 

 t-unnery. After testing all the principal brands, they gave their orders for 

 ORANGE POWDER, and adopted this as their standard hereafter. 



BEFORE THE EXAMINING BOARD IN WASHINGTON, August, 1866, it proved 

 supjrior to all others. 



At the WIMBLETON RIFLE MEETING in ENGLAND, July, 1866, in competition 

 with the best foreign powders, it won the first prize. 



The Board convened by the Commander-in-Chief of the State of New York, 

 for the examination of military small arms, whose sessions were attended by 

 officers specially detached by the Russian, Prussian, and Danish Governments, 

 say, in their printed report of the numerous guns on trial, that after firing 100 

 rounds, all but one became so foul as not to admit the cartridge. 



This led to a test of the powder, and they deem this subject of so much im- 

 portance that they say in their report : " The powder used in these cartridges, 

 which did not foul the gun. deserves special mention as being very superior. 

 It is the ORANGE RIFLE POWDER. 



In their Supplementary Report, March 27th, 1868, they say : " The results 

 of the recent trials induce no modification of the favorable opinion of this 

 powder as previously expressed 



After firing one hundred rounds of seventy grains each, the residuum left in 

 the barrel weighed less than a gram, while the United States Musket Powder 

 fouled the barrel excessively. 



In SHOOTING-MATCHES it has been u-'iv-.-rsally successful. The celebrated 

 trap shooters, JOHN and WILLIAM TAYLOR, of Jersey City, say : " It is the 

 best powder we have ever used." 



One of the best sportsmen in this State writes : " With the Orange Powder 

 I made the largest score I ever made." ANOTHER CELEBRATED SHOT, from Cen- 

 tral New York, writes : " Your powder is in high repute h^re, and the country 

 round about, and will supersede all others," and this is the tone of all the 

 best sportsmen who have tested it.
