 prize, a silver cup, value 40 guineas— elass 2 for 12 

 bores; also winner in class 1 for 8 and 10 bores, and 

 class 4 for 20 bores. He has won in all the classes for 

 improved boring, which is upon a different plan to any 

 other maker, and is far superior in. tbe three most es- 

 sential points, viz., PATTERN. PENETRATION, 

 and REGULARITY OF SHOOTING. 



Mr. HENRY C. SQUIRES, of No. 1 Cortlandt. St., 

 New York, is now importing mv DOUBLE CLOSE-

 TRIAL OF fcCOTTA GREENER'S NE W SYSTEM 

 OF BORING, BY THE EDITOR OF 

 "THE FIELD," LONDON. 



(See The Field, January 30th, 1875.) 

 "From a comparison of the two tables it will be 

 seen that with Walker's shot, Messrs. Scott guns 

 showed a marked superiority over Mr. Greener's, 

 both in average and in the highest score made. In- 

 deed, with the left barrel, in his third shot, Mr. Scott 

 got a selected group pattern of 239 and a penetration 

 of 37, equalling the highest pattern made by Mr 

 Greener, and exceeding the penetration of that par- 

 ticular shot by eight sheets."
