THE GJ-IMEIA.T 



London Gun Trial, 



1875. 



W; W. GREENER begs to inform his numerous 

 clients- in the United States that he has been very suc- 

 cessful in the above trial, having secured the first 

 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 the 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 my DOUBLE CLOSE- 

 SHOOTING GUNS to order, an invoice of which 

 will be shipped to him on the 1st July, and can be ex- 

 amined about the 15th. All special orders given to 

 Mr. Squires will be carefully filled. A full report of 

 the GREAT TRIAL, showing the marked superiority 

 of my guns over guns made by Dongai, Pape, 

 Tolley, and others, will shortly be published, and can 

 be had on application at No. 1 Cortland St.

 TRIAL OF SCOTT& GREENER'S NEW 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 iguns 

 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."

 of the Field to possess the GBEATEST PENF

 Circle, 30 inches; 300 pellets-, average, 191; penetra- 

 tion, 37. The Editor's trial of Greener guns with 340

 180,and penetration 30, although there were 40 more pel- 

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn all beforehand that our system is our own inven- 

 tion (though founded on the American idea) and is DU- 

 RABLE, a fact remarked on by the Field, that the 

 guns tried had been in use during last season, and ref-
