(Signed) HENRY FULTON, 



Extract from the "Army an ^ tfitt TdumaP Official Beporl, Dated Oct, 8, 1874, 



"The maU:h decides several disputed points, as near aB they can be decided: first, that there is no percep- 

 tible difference in accuracy between breech loaders and muzzle loaders, but that If anything the former are the 

 best, as thev n . rli [nickest; second, that in our clear climate we may look for even better shooting 



in the fntnre; third, that the Remington rifle stands at the bead of all others for accuracy, as it does in simpli- 

 city of mechanism. The Remington rifles in the match scored thirteen points ahead of the. samenumberof 

 muzzle, loaders, and twenty-two points ahead of the Sharp's breech loaders in the same team." 



In the International match, six muzzle loaders, three Remington, and three other breech loaders were 

 nsed. Lieut. Fulton, Col. Bodlne, and L. L. Hepburn used the three Remingtons.

This arm was submitted in competition with over 

 one hundred different systems, American and Euro- 

 pean, to the Board or United States Officers, appoint- 

 ed by Act of CongTees, 6th June, 1872, for the pur 

 pose of selecting the best arm for the service, and of 

 which Brig. Qen. A. H. Terry was President. It sac 

 ceesfullv passed through all the tests. 



Tbe following is the report of the Board: 



"Resolved, That the adoption of magazine guns for 

 the military service by all nations is only a question 

 of time; that whenever an arm shall be devised which 

 shall be as effective as a single breech-loader, as the 

 best of the existing breech-loading arms, andshallat 

 the same time possess a safe and easily manipulated 

 magazine, event owi 'J--I otion of public policy will re- 

 quire its adoption. 



.;■'■-■ : .■ -'', fit, /: , is . ,,.:..„_ 



Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 

 so impressed the Board with the merits of this gun, . 

 that they consider it as more nearly fulfilling the con- 

 ditions above specified than any other tried by them 

 or of which they have any knowledge, and it does 

 recommend that a number of magazine muskets be 

 made on the plan for further trial in the field." (See 

 Ordnance Report.)

 notice will be given in this paper when they are ready 

 for delivery.
