Out of a class or 68 guns, 8 out of Jhe 6 best were 
made by Pape. The Greener gnn was protested 
against on ihe spoL for having its fcore false counted, 
the fact proven there, aud afterwards confirmed by 
same gun being shot for two days per week for six 
weeks in succession, when its average score only took 
34th place, its very best score being greatly below the 
scores of the best six guns.
