 "Hesbt C. Sqdtbbs, Esq. : 



••Hir-lt is a pleasure for me to inform von of 

 my high appreciation of the ten-pound Greener 

 breech-load, r pure-hased of vou last winter. I con- 

 eider ctioked.ormg. It skillful y done, as t!ie greatest 

 improvement in fowling pieces since the introduc- 

 tion of the percussion cap. It (rives the maker 

 complete control of pattern, ami [neatly increases 

 penetration. To prove this. I will give von the per- 

 formance of thi* gun. The Si-inch, :ij gauge barrel?, 

 charged with 4.'4 drachms of powder and IK ozt. 

 Ho. 6 English chilled -iiot, give pattern ranging 

 from 2S5 to 330 pellets, in 3B-inbn circle, at 40 yards. 

 The same charge of powder and l"-i ozs No. 4 

 American shot, gives : (if) to ITS pattern with p-ne- 

 rrattnn. which kills ducks a* 50 to 70 va ds I ke a 

 stroke of lightning. It is a characteristic of the 

 •choke-bore to show lis greatest snoot iority in the 

 large-sized shot. What I am shout to say wil 

 perhaps surprise you as much as lhe peif • ; u. -:,e 

 surprised me. On trial of lhe l*-gauge, 2S-incn 

 modified choke-in >re binels, withS'. drachms pow- 

 der and lj 4 ' oz. shot. I got about the miu 

 aod spread of shot at 23 vatds as with the full 

 cboke, io-gauge barrels at 40 yards, with tnemen- 

 dons penetration. This is just "the performance re- 

 quired of a gun for thick cover, in which you gener- 

 ally find ruffed grouse, woodcock and q-oi., 

 birds being killed, with few except ions, ai nun 15 

 to 25 yards. Yours truly, John Bouine."
