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