tie hundred ditlerent sy-tems, American and Euro- 

 pean, to the Board of United States Olllccrs, appoiul- 

 •cd by Act of Congress, mil June, 1872, lor tho pur 

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

 which Brig. Ueu. A. 11. Terrv was President. It sue- 

 cessfullv passed through ail the tests. 



The following is '.be report of the Board: 



"Ilesoletd, That the adoption of magazine gnna for 

 the military service by all nations is only a qoeetion 

 of time; that whenever an arm shall be devised which 

 slmll be as effective as a single breech-loader, us tlie 

 best or the existing breech-loading arms, and slmll at 

 the same time po-sess a safe and easily manipulated 

 magazine, every consider utiun of public policy will re- 

 quire its adoption. 



ICesdlred. further. That the experiments before the 

 Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 

 so impressed the Hoard with the merits of this gun, 

 that they consider it as more nearly fulfilling the con- 

 ditions above specified than auv oilier tried by thein 

 orof which they have any knowledge, mid it does 

 recommend that a number of magazine muskets be 

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