ORANGE SPORTING POWDER. 



THE PKIZE POWDEK OP THE WOELD, 



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 

 gunnery. After testing all the principal brands they gave their orders for ORANGB 

 POWDER, and adopted this as their standard hereafter. 



BEFORE the EXAMINING BOARD in WASHINGTON, August, 1866, it proved 

 superior to all others. 



At the WIMBLETOX 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 impor- 

 tance 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 2Tth, 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 grain, while the United States Musket Powder 

 fouled the barrel excessively. 



In SHOOTING-MATCHES it has been universally 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: ' c With the Orange Powder 

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

 Central New York, writes : " Your powder is in high repute here, and the 

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

 the best sportsmen who have tested it.
