Oat of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 beat were 
made by Pape. The Greener gun was protested 
against on the spot for having its tcore false counted, 
the face proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 
same gun being shot for two days per week for six 
weeks iu succession, when its average score only took 
24th place, it s very best score being greatly below the 
scores of the best six guns.
