7(5 DETONATING SYSTEM. 



" Charles Lancaster, Gunmaker, 151, New Bond Street, Lon- 

 don, feels great pleasure in announcing, that he has recently in- 

 vented a New Patent Safety Detonating Gun ; the advantages of 

 which are, that it cannot hang or miss fire, and may be shot with a

 of orders he is now daily receiving, from the first sportsmen in the 

 kingdom, they will supersede all other detonating guns."

All side-nails, whether for flint or detonaters, should 

 go through both locks in a double gun, arid have a notch 

 at each end, so that, if they break, they may be screwed 

 out, and replaced by an extra one in the field.

 cocks first), and your gun is ready for the field. 



CLEANING. 



Similar to a flint-gun, and rather less to do : but you 

 must leave every thing, as well as the inside of the 

 barrels, kept a very little damp with sweet oil, or your
