submitted in competition with over

 pean, to the Board at Dnited States Officers a.|:maa'.- 

 ed by Act of Congress, 8th June, 18T2, for the pur 

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

 which Brig. Gen. A. 11. Terry was President. It suc- 

 cessfully passed through all the tests. 



The follow in- is the report of the Board: 



"Resolved, That the adoption Of magazine gnns 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 breeeh-ioading arms, and shall at 

 the same time possess a safe and easily manipulated 

 magazine, every consul: ration of irulilic policy will re- 

 quire its adoption. 



Resolved, fmiho, That the exp'-'tiiueiits before the 

 Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 

 so impressed the Board with the merits of this gun, 

 that they consider it as mure nearly I'uliilline the con- 

 ditions above specified than any other tried by them 

 or of which they have auy knowledge, and it does 

 recommend that a number of magazine muskets be 

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

 Ordnance Report.)

 notice will be given in this paper when they ure ready
